1t Takes a Judge Three Months to
Find Out His Error.


Find Out His Error.
John T. Sims, justice of the peace in
Kansas City, Kan, appeared yesterday
before Governor Leedy, asking the chief
executive to correct what Sims admits
was a judicial error on his part, in sem
fencing a man to the county Jail for a
term which he claims was excessive and
not justified in the nature of the crime.
Judge Sims sentenced Guy Elkhorn to
the county jail for a period of six months
because he stole 10 cents worth of hot
tamales and pigs feet from a street ven
der.
El1horn has served three months and
Judge Sims asks that he be pardoned.
EIl1horn, so Sims told the governor to-
day was one of the party of young fell
lows who were having some fun with
the Italian hot tamale seller one even
ing. The latter put his store of goods
on the ground and was attempting to
get rid of the crowd when Elkhorn opens
ed the can and took out a few of the
tamales and pigs foot.
The vender called the police and had
1.-The young man arrested. Sims says no
has served longer now than the crime
justified and he asks the governor to
correct the error which he acknowledges
that he committed in sending the man
to Jail for six months. He also says
three months time is ample punishment.

Individual Cases.

McNan rather severely urged" them
have made settlement of a claim of
$500, the amount of a policy held by
Mrs. Josie Dunn, cOlOred, whose hus-
band died recently in this city
The company was causing delay. dur
ing which Mrs. Dunn appealed to the
department of insurance and Mr.. Nc
Nall sent the following letter to George
3. Woodward, secretary of the COM
pany in New York:
During the lifetime of Frank L.
Dunn a policy was issued to him by
your company in the sum of $500, pay
able to his wife, Josie Dunn. Number

March, 1897, Frank L. Dunn died and
on the same night an Individual in this
city signing himself James L. Huron,
acting agent for your company, obtain
ed said policy from the widow, Josie
Dunn. He claims now that he for
Warded the same to your company.
Since that time the widow has been un-
able to obtain such policy back and no
settlement has been made with her
concerning the matter. My advice to
you is to return the policy and to re-
turn it promptly, and after the same is
returned to make a settlement upon the
same with Mrs. Josie Dunn
1T looks to me-" said Mr.. McNal,
speaking of the case, that this attor-
ney went into the death chamber to
get possession of this policy for the
purpose of escaping settlement
Mr.. McNalIs letter secured a settle

a telegram from New York last night
stating that the amount of the policy
would be RENTED at once.

accident at Denver about a year ago,
from the effects of which his spine was
permanently injured and he is inca

The company has failed, it is said,
to settle or manifest any disposition
to take up the case. The facts have

has forwarded to the officers a letter
urging them to settle the claim or show
cause why they should not do So

LAKE VIEW FISHING.
Several Thousand Channel Cat to be
Put in the Lake.

The Lake View Fishing and Hunting
association will make a. few improve
ments this season. The clubhouse will
be painted. 1t has been the custom for
some time to place many small fish
in the lake in the spring, but that has
not been done this year. The club ex-
poets to add a few thousand channel
catfish in the fall and some bass may
be secured, but the stock of fish in
the lake is very good and members find
excellent sport.
One of the prominent members says
that the channel cat is one of the best
all-rOund fish that the club has used.
The fish combines excellent edible
qualities with a gameness that is en-
tirely unlike its brother, the mud cat
or bull head. a man fishing for chan
mel cat has to keep his eyes open. The
fish does not go to sleep after it takes
the bait. This fish viii bite on an arti-
fetal fly or spoon quite as readily as
