A party OF Goodland young men, a

A party of Goodland young men, az
companied by their "steadies," took q
trip down to the Smoky Sunday. The
ride enlivened their appetites to such
an extent that one of the dear girls de-
scribed her condition as furnishing"
and the others unanimously assured
their escorts that they we're in the same
sad fix. A stop was made at the near
est farmhouse and refreshments order
ed. Milk and other food was set before
them only to disappear with alarming
rapidity. After the supply had been
replenished about the steenth time the
boys formed themselves into a commit
tee on ways and means and invoiced
the assets. It was a pitable sum they
found. Something had TO be done, how
ever, and while the girls we're enjoying
the piece dc resistance the boys cast
lots to determine who should pawn his
clothes to cover the expected deficiency
on the bill. The feast being over the
victim took the proprietor out behind
the barn aud asked the amount Of the
damage. The reasOnableRess surprised
and gave him hope that there would be
no need of the disTObing ordeal. The
cash was counted into the hand Of the
farmer and by ringing in two 2Oseent
pieces for a half dollar aud working the
short change racket for dime the bill
was satisfied and a speedy escape made.
Hereafter when the expense paying
portion Of that party 60 on an excursion
their entire bank account will accom-
paDy them, TO meet exigencies and to
provide for the wants Of their company.

CONVICTED is accessory.
The Jury in tie TOmblin Case Returned a
Verdict Of gailty.
4 8oiioA for New Trial Fiiedand Oyer-
Ruled by the Csurt-Jgdgmsnt sus-
pended Until the November
Session.


Saturday noon the attorneys in the
Tomblin bank case had finished their
arguments, the judge had delivered his
instructions and the case was with the
jury. At three o'clock verdict of
guilty on four counts as accessory to
receiving deposits when the bank, Of
which the defendant was president,
was known to have been in failing
condition was returned against the
defendant. The information charged
him with receiving, unlawfully, money
on four specific counts, both as princi-
pal and as accessory. On the charge Of
receiving money as principal the jury
declared him not guilty.
A motion for new hearing was i'm
mediately fled, but Overruled. Then a
suspension of judgment until the Nov
ember term of court was asked for and
granted after a sufficient bond had
been fled.
The verdict as found by the jury car
ries with it q penalty of from two to
: five years imprisonment or a fine of
from 500 to $500, or both, for each
count. The trial lasted IA days, max
ing it the longest ever tried in the
county.
While Mr.. Tomblin stands convicted
of violation Of law, there are none,
fully acquainted with the case, who be-
Iieve that the banks condition was due
to the personal dishonesty or pecula-
tons of its officers. The boom of 1892
inflated prices of real estate and per-
sonal property, and the banks money
was loaned out upon g rating so per
cent greater than could be realized at
present from the same property. Then,
again, loans in large amounts we're
made to men who have long ago be-
come insolyent owing to the same
cause which brought ruin to the bank.
all in all, Mr.. TOmblin is not unde-
serving of sympathy, and it is generally
hoped that the hand of justice will be
tempered with mercy when he stands
at the bar to receive the penalty for
the crime the jury found him guilty of.
The other two cases of the state VS..
Lancaster and Jordan, charged with
the same Offense as that of which Mr..
FOmblin was found guilty, were con-
tinued until the next term of court.

SPOKE TO A BIG CROWD.
Il on. sam McElrOy Opened the Campaign
With n Ringing Speech.

Il on. Sam MeElFOy Opened the Campaign
With n Ringing speech.
With the court house packed to
standing room, Hon. Sam McElroy, the
peoples party candidate for appellate
judge, opened the campaign Saturday
with a ringing and convincing speech.
Mr.. McElroy used a blackboard in
Illustrating some of his propositions
and in passiOnless figures proved be-
yOnd a reasonable doubt that "the best
banking system the world ever saw"
was more essentiallYthe biggest system
OF robbery mankind ever tolerated, A
hand primary was also taken as to the
the extent the audience had in their
possession gold or silver coin. The "a
ito was about sixteen to one. The "a
tic between those in funds and those
devoid of the coin of the realm aveFag-
ed about the same. The speaker was
carefully listened to and heartily cheer
ed at the telling points.
At the conclusion Of Mr., MeElrOy's
speech Hon. Tully Scott, Of Oberlin,
was called for and responded in a short
speech IN which he set forth some apt
points in favor of bimetallism, and fol-
lowed on to the supreme court deci-
sion On the income tax. If the ears of
the members of that august budy did
not burn during the time FULLY was
handling them without gloves, it was
because the frequency of such arraign-
ments Of late had worn a callous on
those parts Of their anatomy.
Hon. A. B. Montgomery closed the
meeting with an able exposition Of
what constitutes free coinage.

A Species Of Beetle FOuud In IsdIaE

A Species Of Beetle FOnud In Isdlaas
Which Freys on the Potato Pest.
There is a cure for everything, and
at last cure has been found for the
potato bug.
That red. persistent and grsgariOus
creature has for years and years short
ened the lives and the potato crops Of
farmers all over the country.
Paris green, in powder and in solu-
ton, scattered with a blower, or show
cred from a sprinkling pot, has not
been able to prevail against him. He
has kept right on eating the tops of
the crops, and, in some years, has
raised the price of potatoes to an al
most prohibitive notch.
But now, in the stats of Indiana, at
the smart town of JOhnstown, has
been found another bug, whose bright
particular business in life is to smite
the ring. streaked and pestiferous
potato bug, hip and thigh, and never
leave him or forsake him until he is
dead.
It is a green bug, diamond shaped,
and equipped with a long and fabul-
ously sharp beak, with which he pene-
trstes the marks of the potato bug on
sight. He does not do this because he
wants all the potatoes himself. AS yet
he has shown no inclination to do
damage to crops of any kind. His
favorite diet is the blood of the potato
bug, and on that be thFives.
Hoosiers all over Indiana state have
thronged to Johnstown TO secure these
commendable bugs, and transfer them
to long suffering potato patches.
Already the benefits of this bug-eat-
ing bugs efforts have been made mani
fest. The potato bugs seem to know
intuitively of the presence of their
smart, but active enemy, and when
these long-billed diamond-backs put
in an appearance in a potato patch,
the potato bugs, in a body rise up and
migrate to some other garden, with all
the agitation and headlOng haste that
| deadly terror can inspire.

Continuing, Col. Harris said: ''It is
generally understood that there viii
be fusion between the democrats and
populists in Kansas this year, although
there have been no conferences on
the subject and consequently no plans
have been formulated, but fusion is in
the air. My idea is for the democrats
to name their candidates for electors

nominate our candidates for state 0fii-

W. V. L. Wheeler was found dead in
his bed by his brother Tuesday all in
dications being that he committed sui
eide. He was last seen alive Saturday
afternoon when on his way home from
Araphoe where he had taken his daugh-
ter, Mrs. SimontOn, who had been visit
ing friends at Wesksn. It is supposed
after returning to his homestead where
he had been living alone, he uRhitched
his team turned them loose and shortly
afterwards ended his own life. He evil
IDENTIFY tried to blow out his brains in
the first place with a double barreled
shot gun placed against his forehead,
but failed to accomplish his purpose,
the shot having glanced of cutting g
deep furrOW, making an ugly but not
fatal wound. Failing in this he then
took strychnine, an empty bottle bear
ing that label having been found in one
Of his shoes which he had previously
removed. When found he was lying on
his back on the bed, his hat over his
face, his hands elutching his shirt
above his chest with a grip of death.
A jury was empaneled and a verdict
returned in accordance with the above
facts. It is supposed that dependency
and worry about his son who was taken
to the asylum last week was the pFin-
cipal cause for the rash act. The old
gentleman was we'll liked by his friends
and neighbors and was of a quiet
and inOfensive nature and words of
sympathy and coincidence are heard on
all sides for the remaining members of
the family Sharon Springs Voice.
