ment of expenses incurred by him nor
anyone in his behalf to the best of his
knowledge and belief to secure his
election to the office of Commissioner
OF the First Commissioner District of
Trego county. Kansas, in the wear
1896, but that he subsequently filed
an affidavit showing that he incurred
no expense himself nor anyone in his
behalf. There is no evidence contro-
yerting the affidavit. hence we are
OF the opinion that when Il candidate
did not eXpend any money himself
nor knows of any one who has eX-
pended any money in his behalf. that
the filing of the affidavit is not neces-
sary. That the claim interpoSed I'M

the corrupt use of money and corrupt
practices at elections" Is not en-
braced in the body of the act. That

directly only.
Whether the contest court was
right in its conclusion that the title
of the act. claimed to have been vio-
lated. is insufficient to include the
penalty of forfeiture of Office. sought

with the election of such Office In
this case there were mo moneys eX-
pended, paid or promised to be paid
by him or by any one in his behalf
for the purposes referred TO in the
act. He could not make a ''detaileC
statement of mOueys expended

of which to make a statement. He
did not fail to make a statement
which the law required, but SimDl,
failed to file an affidavit showing the

could be made, which was wholly un
necessary for him to do. The refusal
of the contest court to enter judg

The above diSpoSes of all question

after a critical and careful review
this court fails to find sufficien

Farmer Harding's Unpleasant Expert
ence-Pers0nal GOSSIP.

Josiah Harding. farmer, OF North
| Providence. had an experience yesterday
| which he will not soon forget. He had
been TO tho city where he disposed Of n
load of potatoes, and on his way home
called at the farm house of John Golden
on Admiral street.
Harding had loaned n largo Jersey bull
to Golden several days ago, anu thought
he would take 10 home. SO, tying rope
around the neck of tho bull, he hitcbed
il to the rear end Of his wagon and started
on his way.
All went well for several minutes.
Finally Harding thought his horse wasn't
going fast enough so he hit II with his
whip, aud away IL went, but not very far.
His bullship was on the ether END ana
though "a rope was around bis neck he was
bound TO show his master that he had
some rights which he was bound To re-
spect The bull planted his forefeet deep
In tho mud nnd refused Co hudge. Hard
ing leaned over from his seat in tho
wagon, and began 10 whip the animal.
but IL was no use. TAere he stood, with
an occasional roar which awoke the
echoes In the woods on each side or the
road, emanating from its oapacious throat
Harding determined to get down from
the team and attack the bull in the rear
but he was too late. The hull hnd
changed his mind. Suddenly just IA
Harding was stepping down from his scat
the animal gave n roar and with head
down made rush for the wagon. and
flung It in the air. Harding was thrown
about twenty feet, whore he landed In
bed Of mud ana leaves on the side of the
road.
The horse. very much frightened at tho
sudden collision. started 10 run away, lct
only pulled the ball few yards Again
tho pull charged on tho wagon and boards
and eplinters of boards were sent flying
through the air This was continued for
about fifty yards until the vehicle was a
total wreck. Harding. somewhat bruised.
