A Woman Who Started a Law Suit
and Didn't Stay With Tt.

AIDA Robinson is in Jail as the result
of retributive justice.
The girl quarreled with her sweet
heart and had him arrested for assault
Before the case came to trial she be-
came sorry for what she had done and
did not appear against him. The case
was once continued on that account
but when it was called the second time
the prosecuting witness was still out of

accordingly dismissed and the costs
assessed against the Robinson woman

CAMP LEEDY LOCATED.
It Will be at the East Side of the
Fair Grounds

Major T. J. Anderson, S. S. McFad-
den and G. H. Titus of the Committee
of Fifteen held a conference with Ma
jor General McCrum and Adjutant Cen
era1 Allen today and the difficulty
about a camp for the Kansas National
Guard was adjusted
The officers of the guard preferred to
have the camp outside the fair grounds
and the committee objected to having
it anywhere else. 1t was urged that the
ground on the east side of the fair
grounds was low and would be wet in
case of rain. The subcommittee re-
moved this objection by agreeing to
provide drains for use in case of rain
The National Guard will be encamped
in the territory south of the Santa Fe
switch. The camp will be 600 feet in
length and 423 feet wide. There will be
an avenue 80 feet wide separating the
two regiments
