BROUGHT ANOTHER SUIT.
The Prather Cases Continue to Be
Before the People.

The evidence in the Prather case
was ended at 2 O'Clock Tuesday P. M.
The defense had Prather on the stand
a large part Of the morning. The Sa-
lima case history was reviewed and
the defense attempted to show that
his record was such as to make the
alleged utterances Of no damage
whatever. 1t was q strong defense
throughout and resulted in some
strange developments. Mr.. Prather's
testimony in one part was to the ei-
feet that one Of his Salina witnesses,
Miss Bruner, really came from Wich-
ita but she testified that she came
from Kansas City, Kansas. Judge
Humphrey delivered his charge at
2;SO and the arguments by G. S.
Crawford and G. F. Mead followed.
This morning another case for
$4,000 damages was filed by Prather
against Conductor Follens Of the U. P,
through his attorney, G. $. Crawford,
asking the amount because OF an al
legged statement by Follens that
Prather exposed bis person on train.
It is practically the same as the one
dismissed yesterday. The plaintiff

The district court adjourned a
noon until Monday when the Prathel
cases against Tollivcr, spangler ant
Fallins are set for trial.
Several whisky cases came up thi.
morning. James Heoy was SEN
fenced on one count to 80 days III
jail and a fine Of 800 and costs; Gar.
rett Blue, jr,, one count, 80 days and
800.
The case Of State Us. A, NJ. Cress,
one Of the grand jury indictments,
came up and Stambaugh & Hurd, his
attorneys, made motion to quash
the indictment on the ground that
the defendants full name was not
given, his initials only being put
down in the indictment. Judge
Humphrey sustained the motion.
The names Of A. X. Vanderbilt and
q. /. Estes appearing in the same
form, they too were dismissed. The
decision Of the judge in these cases
does not, however, prevent the county
attorney proceeding against the same
parties on information which is being
considered.
1t is said that the question has not
been passed on by the Kansas
supreme court County Attorney
Smith saved an exception and will
probably have the supreme court
pass on the matter.

business man would accept piece Of

this catalogue. Agood sum was paid
for the work and the county should

PRATHER LOSES HIS CASE.
Verdict Given for Tolivsr- Bonds.
men Surrender the Plaintiff.
From Wednesdays paily.l

At the conclusion Of the argument
last evening in the case Of Rev. +.
| L. Prather vs.. l.. d. Toliyer for
$4,000 damages the defense asked to
submit number Of special findings,
giving decisions on various charges
which have been brought against
Mr.. Prather in this and other cases.
The jury went out but at $3.50 return
ed asking for instructions. As the
attorneys were absent the jurymen
were dismissed until this morning
when they again took the case under
consideration. After an hours
deliberation they returned a verdict
for Toliver and refusing to act on the
special findings submitted.
The case against Spangler on
practically the same petition will not
be tried at this term Of court and
probably not at all. The new case
against Follens also viii not be acted
on until fall, II at all. The costs in
the first Follens case just dismissed
s165 but no one is responsible for
them. In the Toliyer case they are
about the same.
Prather's bondsmen, NJ. L. Dunnett
and J. E. Curry, gave notice last
evening to Sheriff Anderson Of Saline
county that they would not remain
on the bond longer and the sheriff |
took Mr.. Prather to Salina where he
will remain in jail until new bond
can be secured or until his trial on
the criminal case which he appealed
and which will be tried in September
at Salina.
Fate appears to be treating the late
pastor Of the Baptist church with
scant mercy and while opinion is
divided as to his deserts in the mat
ter, all agree that he has brought
much Of the trouble on himself by |
carrying into court prosecutions
which need not have gone there. The
verdict for Mr.. Toliver simply says
that as a church deacon he had a
right to look up Prather's record and
this record before his coming here
was such as to prejudice any suit for
defamation Of character that he |
might bring--including as it did
penitentiary imprisonment and
church trials.
Much sympathy is expressed for
the unfortunate mans family who
nave the respect and esteem Of all. I
70 them is brought an unmerited
lisgrace, the sorrow Of which few can

TWO MORE CONVICTIONS.
Struble and Kreider Will Suffer for
Larceny.
From Thursdays Daily,


The cases Of Henry Struble and
Day Kreider, accused Of stealing hogs
from the slaughter houses Of the
local butchers last winter, are COM
pleted, both being listed to spend a
time In the pen for larceny. Struble
was tried and found guilty and
Kreider gives notice that he will
plead guilty. 1t was shown that the
boys had been taking the hogs to
other towns, Wakefield in particular,
and selling them. Much credit is
due City Marshal J. B. Favor for their
conviction, as it was largely through
his efforts and detective skill in trac-
ing ont the thieves that they were
captured and convicted. The result
is a decided credit to him as an
officer.
In the case OF Holmes VS.. Nitsche a
jury trial was waived and 1t will be
tried before the court.
A motion for personal execution in
the Norman case against Norman

At 4:SO the jury brought in a verdict
Of not guilty,
An argument for new trial for
David WEIGH was begun at $3.50 by
+. G. Little, his attorney. The new
trial is asked for on the ground that
the jury was allowed to separate
while in its deliberations and was not
all the time in charge Of the bailiff.
The Judge overruled the motion.
The court called prisoners to the
bar and sentenced them as follows:
David WEIGH, convicted of burglary,
8 years in the penitentiary.
Hank Struhle, hog stealing, 8 years
in the penitentiary.
Dink LOCKER, liquor selling, 500
