Richard Mcdonald is on trial in the
district court accused of stealing cat
tie and his case is attracting good
deal of interest.
This is the case spoken of some time
ago in the Eagle in which two young
men named Richard Mcdonald and NJ.
o. Unphrey were accused of stealing
five head of cattle out near Maize and
selling them at the stock yards in this
city.
When they were arrested Umphrey
confessed and said that he and Nc
Donald stole the cattle. Sheriff Royse
and Under Sheriff Williams says Nc
Donald also confessed but Mcdonald
denies the whole transaction and Judge
Reed ruled out the officers testimony
because they said promises had been
made to Mcdonald to induce him to
make the confession.
Adams & Adams are defending Nc
Donald and they are contesting every
inch of ground for their client A large
number of people from the neighbor-
hood of Maize have been introduced as
witnesses, some of whom gave Nc
Donald a hard name, but Mack insists
that he did not steal the cattle and his
brother went on the stand last evening
and swore that Richard was with him
the night the cattle were stolen and
could not have been at the place where
the cattle We're taken.
The case went to the jury last night
and verdict will probably be returned

out to visit the schools in that section
and he speaks particularly of school
No. IS. which is one and half miles
west of Peck
At this school Superintendent Mackey
says that he examined a class in Amer
lean history just as critically as if they
had been applicants for teachers GER
tificates. Strange 10 say every queS-
ton relating to the history of this coun-
try UP to the time of the recent rebellion
was correctly answered. The class
even told the date of tariff legislation
but when he asked them What is
protective tariff" not one could even
remotely guess it.
From this Mr.. Mackey concluded that
the tariff question has not been very
critically studied in this section of Kan
sas. Mr.. Mackey did not state whether
he was able to give proper definition
to his class.
