several other people in vehicles and
challenged them to race No one ac-
cepted his challenge, however. 50 Ben
net was obliged to go on his way alone.
and set off at a good fast pace. Near
p. Tinnerans store the sulky came in
contact with a farm wagon, and in an
instant the light vehicle was over
turned. Bennett could not release him
self from the wreck and was dragged
Tor long distance over the pavement
by the now frantic animal. At last,
however, Bennett managed 20 free
himself from his dangerous position
and was left lying on the road.
He was terribly cut about the face and
hands, and was covered with bruises.
Further up the road the horse had
succeeded in injuring another man quite
seriously. This was Patrick Gillespie.

Huckins was the most inefficient man
on the force. So If that point was prov
en- to the satisfaction Of the court Mr..
Dyer will now hardly claim that he de-
serves any credit for it.
He argued that the law in regard to
the employment of honorably discharS-
ed soldiers had no reference to police af-
fairs, but to men employed on public
works. He also claimed that the evil
dence in the case did not show that
Huckins had been discharged and as a
matter of fact, if he had been illegally
discharged he was not discharged at all
and was still in fact policeman now.
Officer Huckins probably regarded
this argument in the light OF the man
who was put in Jail for fishing on Sun
day, who sent for his lawyer to come to
the Jail to counsel with him. The law
yer said: why, they can not put you
in jail" "Yes," remarked the prisoner.
but you see am in" That was the
way with Huckins. He could not be put
out, but you see he was out.
County Attorney John Davis closed
the argument for the state, and it was a
red hot speech. He is known as man
who has the courage of his convictions
and he uses plain words. He declared
that he had none but the kindest feel
ings for the police commissioners, but
when an old soldier came to him with
the information that the laws OF this
state had been violated. he did as he
would in anyother case. He commenc-
ed this proceeding.
He declared that the soldiers had gone
to save their country. Many Of them
had left paying positions or school or
trades that they were learing and now
he was heartily in favor of this law
which gave them the preference in pub
lie positions for which they were not
better, but as well qualified as other
men who were not soldiers.
He declared that the evidence in this
case showed that there had been an ef-
fort to blast the official reputation OF
Officer Huckins. and that in one case
al least his accuser was the keeper OF
an assignation house, who probably
wanted a more pliable officer on the
stock yards beat
He wanted TO know whether this law
made for the old soldiers. was TO be exc
cused or whether the courts intended
to recognize il. II IL was to remain
dead letter in the statutes OF Kansas
while he was county attorney he want
ed 10 know II. that was all
After the decision OF the court had
been rendered the old defenders march
ed out with a solemn tired. like soldiers
going to the grave OF a fallen comrade-
Whether they ever expected 10 hold
position under the laws OF Kansas or
not they felt in their hearts that they
had met a partial defeat
