Fall Fails Down Again.

On Saturday in the district court the
case of the State VS.. J. B. Finlaw Il
cattleman who has been doing business
in this county for some time was tried.
The facts were about these: Mr.. Fin
law bought some stock last November
of a man by the name of Skoberg and
paid for them with a check post dated
about four days. At the same time he
told the man of whom he bought the
cattle that he had no money in the
bank then but expected to have by the
time named. When that time arrived
he had not secured all the money though
he did shortly after and the debt was
fully satisfied. But Mr.. Flnlaw was
arrested charged with obtaining prop
erty under false pretenses and tried at
considerable expense both to himself
and the county. On trial he was found
not guilty the jury being instructed by
Tue judge TO bring in verdict of not
guilty. which was equivalent to thr,w-
ing the case ont of court. The wit
nesses for the defense were not put on
the stand at all. Mr.. Finlaw was badly
lhisrepresented in this case by the press.
AT the time of his arrest he was at En-.
poria and it was made to appear that
lie was attempting to avoid the officers
which does not seem to have been so,
and the case fell short in every par
ticular.

The Finest MoEsss and Aelmals Ever
Seen

The Finest HOFsss and Aelmals Ever
Seen
AS was expected, the great Wallace
show drew large crowd to our city
last Saturday, and all expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the entire
show. The street parade was wit
messed by THOUSANDS of people, and
consisted of brass bands, cages of wild
animals elephants, camels, etc., and
the finest lot of circus horses ever seen
in Hutchinson. The promise of the
parade was more than rul6lled in the
ghow itself. The menagerie is a good
one, while the performance of over two
hours was enc of the best ever given in
the city. No long waiting between
acts, but something to interest and
amuse from opening to close. In fact
no circns that ever came to Hutchinson
seemed to give better satisfaction than
the great Wallace show.-Hutchinson

Superintendent of Insurance An

cent reciprocal tax on foreign insur-
aDce companies doing business in this
State, is about to be distributed to the
Vprinns cities rlaiminO the same nndRT
the law. Hutchinson is expected to
get about S345. There appears to be
a little difference of opinion as to how
this money may be applied but the
general opinion is that 1t will go only
for the relief of disabled firemen or
their families. Most papers have an
nounced that this tax was collected
under authority Of law passed by the
last legislature, but it was first col
lected after lapse Of many years uu-
der an old law by Governor LEVEL
ing's insurance commissioner, S.H
Snyder, and.we fail to find any new
law on the subject. The last Iegisla-
ture was not guilty of any such good,

Many people will be grieved to learn
that on Tuesday morning Mr.. Fay
Smiths house was visited by fire and
nearly everything in his kitchen was
ruined as well as much in other parts
of tine house. 1t occurred at about
4:90 O'Clock and no way is known that
it might have caught unless it was by
a mouse gnawing into matchbox in
the cupboard. The house was not very
badly damaged but Fay's household
goods suffered to the extent Of nearly
two hundred dollars, by the fire and
water. All the kitchen furniture was
destroyed, and carpets, sidebOard, etc.
in other rooms. AS there was no in
surance this is very hard OH Fay.
