Fool his Best Girl.

A few days ago Clarence Truckey of
Nulvane started out to ascertain who
the true bnovelent people of his native
town were. He disguised himself as a
tramp from Oklahoma. and the very
first house he called at was his own.
He told sad story 70 his mother, how
he had been TO Oklahoma, got sick and
being busted was working his way back
TO the paretal room. Mrs. Trickey
listened 10 his tale of woe with tears
in her eyes, and before he had conclud-
ed his remarks she had enough bread
and butter and other thing fixed up for
him 10 feed him for a week. He then
went to the neighborS and got hand
out from all of them. The next person
he tackled was his sweetheart, and with
a sad voice proceeded to tell his story
Before he reached the saddest chapter
of his alleged experience in Oklahoma.
she said: Oh, give Us a rest, Clarence;
l know you" Moral-You can't fool
your best girl with disguise.

Prominent Hutchinson Man Charged with
Serious Crime.

A. D. Krous of Hutchinson will have
a preliminary examination today in the
Office of Commissioner Sherman at tn !.
government building. Mr.. Kraus is the
proprietor of the largest implement
house at Hutchinson and is one of the
most substantial citizens of that town.
Some time ago, according to the story
of his attorney in this city, he had a
man named o. L. Davis in his employ
ment whom he discharged. Afterwards
a letter came to Davis addressed in his
care, and as busy business men often do
he whipped the letter open without look
ing al the superscriptiOn. thinking. of
course. that it was a letter directed to
himself. Davis laboring under the sting
of the discharge had him arrested for
tampering with the United States mail.
This is only one side of the case; there
may be another. If there is it will be
known after the examination today.
