Saturday afternoon q Dago tramp
made indecent proposals to som little
girls who we're playing in one the
residence streets, and on Sunday
morning the offense was repeated.
Sheriff Dustin was notified and arrest
ed the offender and lodged him in the
city Jail where he was detained until
Monday morning.
It Was not thought likely that the
DagO could be punished, legally, as
severely as he could by other means,
so job was put up on the brute.
The father Of one Of the little girls
was brought to the Jail and he appear
ed very indignant of course. On Ieav-
ing the father asked Sheriff Dustin to
',just leave him here an hour or so and
we'll fix him" a few minutes after
wards Mr.. Dustin hastily returned,
and, throwing the door open, said: "For
Gods sake get out OF here; they are
forming a mob to hang you"
The Dago was in bed. but with one
jump he landed in the middle Of the
cell and hastily put on his shoes and
coat. As he grabbed his hat, he be-
gan sobbing from terror, and Mr.. Dus-
tin headed him west and yelled: "Run
for your hfew
And he did run. Terror acted as q
spur to his sturdy limbs, and soon all
that was visible of the fugitive was a
streak of dust going westward at ter
rifle pace. Several miles out the Da-
go was seen still running, snxiOusly
looking backward for the first sign of
persuit. lie must have got to ColOra-
do Springs by night, if his speed held
out.
| It is certain the lesson taught him
here will not soon be forgotten, aud was
a much better punishment than a jail
sentence would have been.

THE ToMBLIN CASE REVERSED.
The Supreme Court Overrules the Finding
If tho orvau fgourf

The Supreme Court OverFules the Finding
of the Lower Court.
The supreme court of Kansas Friday
the Judgment of the lower
court in the case Of NJ. B. TombIin who
was convicted as accessory at the July
term of the district court of receiving
deposits in the Sherman County bank,
when he, as president, knew the insti-
tuition to be in a falling condition, and
who was sentenced by Judge Smith to
one years imprisonment and 500 fine
on each of the four counts upon which
he was found guilty, making the maxi
mum punishment four years imprison-
ment and $1,000 fine.
The counsel for the defense, in his
brief, assigned numerous errors and on
them the case was appealed to the
higher court.
The opinion of the supreme court
was rendered by Justice Allen, Chief
Justice Doster and Justice johnson
eoncurring. The opinion says: "A de-
PENDANT on trial charged with a felony
has the right guaranteed to him by the
constitution to meet the witnesses pro-
duced by the state face to face, and it
is error to admit, over his objection,
the deposition of a witness taken out
of the state when he was not personally
present. A person charged with having
received deposits as an officer of a bank
when it was insolvent is not guilty of a
crime merely because through his neg
ligence he does not know its condition,
but it must be shown that when be re-
ceived the deposits he knew the bank
to be insolvent. But his relation to the
bank and his duty to examine the con-
dition of its affairs and know whether
it is solvent or insolvent may be taken
into consideration by the jury in deter
mining whether he had actual knowl-
edge of its condition"
The general sentiment of the public
is to let the case against Tomblin rest,
as a re-trial would necessarily be very
expensive and in all probability result
in an aequittal. No general belief ex-
lists that the bank of which MIR. Tomb
lin was president failed through the
dishonesty of the officials, the accepted
theory being that the institution was a
victim of circumstances, and had pro
longed the struggle for solvency until
all hope was lost and its assets had
dwindled away.
Poor crops and depreciative values
had brought insolvency to many of the
banks patrons and the result was that
the bank had to go down also.
