THAT SAME OLD BET
An Arkansas City Jnstice Had it up Before
Him For Settlement.

About a month before the election last
fall Julius Berhand, a prominent citizen
and business man of Arkansas City,
made bet with Mr.. Albert Squires, an
other prominent citizen and business
man OF the same place, that Mckinley
would carry Kentucky. They employed
no Stockholders, but exchanged checks
for the amount of the bet Mr.. Berhand
converted Squires' check into cash. As
will be remembered Kentucky gave one
electoral vote 70 Bryan and Mr- Squ-res
ccntended that Mckinley did not carry
the state because Of that fact. Mr..
Berhand contended that as Mckinley
carried a majority of the electors he
should be considered as carrying the
state. Both merchants grew quite
warm over the matter and unless the
writer is not mistaken they actually sew
cred diplomatic relations altogether and
refused 70 speak TO one another. Final
ly Mr.. Squires sued Mr. Berhand for the
recovery of the money and the case was
tried in the justice court Wednesday.
The court was not legally cognizant OF
a bet or he could not have entertained
such a case, betting being contrary 10
law and hence having no standing in
court. It was simply case Of Mr..
Berhand having money belonging 10
Mr.. Squires for which he gave no equive-
liant and that is how il was tried. The
justice decided in favor Of Squires and
rendered judgment against Berhand for
the amount. Now Mr.. Berhand and his
friends claim that the justice was Pop
and did not do the square thing. The
case will probably go further up.

says he Will prosecute Price 10 the bitter
end and thinks ne ought 10 get the full
penalty OF the ,3w for highway robbery,

The story among the gossips in Geuda
Springs is that Mr.. Wilkins is haunted
by the fear that some cf the friends Of
Price are after him for the purpose Of
killing him. aad that in consequence Of
this fear he insisted on the landlord of his
boarding house putting another and bet-

one OF the most potent factors in the

brought the board of railway assessors.
Mr. Gleed is net only one of the best
known men in Kansas but he is one of
the brightest in the state. Men have
been naming their boys after him for
over fifteen years and that in itself is a
worthy tribute 20 one so young. The

good words of Charlie Gleed. More peo-
pie love m,perhaps, than any other
man in the state.
Mr.. Gleed returned to Topeka on the
