JOHNSTON IS FINED
Case at Shaweee' Goes Against
the Teacher.
TWENTY-FIVE AND COSTS
Is What the Judge Thinks 1t
Should be Worth.
TWENTY-FIVE AND COSTS

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 3.-Professor E. w.
Johnston of Shawnee. who was prosecu-
ted in the police court of that city
charged with inhumanly beating a pupil,
Frank Brown, has been convicted, and a
fine of s25, with costs, assessed. The
courts decision concludes as follows:
Now, taking the evidence as it is, there
does not appear to have been any provo
cation on the part of Brown to justify
even ordinary punishment, and it further
appears TO this court that the fact that
Johnston struck Brown with his fist with
such force as to throw him TO the floor,
with a trip of the foot, and the addi-
tional fact that while Brown was lying
helpless upon the floor Johnston, in a fit
Of anger and in an inhuman manner,
placed his knee on Browns stomach and
by this means held him fast to the floor
while he proceeded at his pleasure and
by means of his fist to bruise and LAGER
ate his head and face and to tear the
clothing from his person, constitutes an
offense as charged in plaintiffs complaint.
The court therefore finds the defendant
z. w. Johnston, guilty of an assault and
battery on the person of Frank Brown
and fixes his fine for said offense in the
sum of $25, together with costs of this
action.
1T is therefore ordered and adjudged by
the court that defendant E. W. Johnston,
be committed to the common Jail of the
city Of Shawnee and there to remain until
further order of this court"

Horse Stealing.

Perry, o. r, Nov. 3.-George A. Foster,
our energetic sheriff, returned today from
Narka, Republic county, Kansas. with
rilden Dovel. who escaped from the Jail
in this county in July last. Dovel is want

only prisoner who escaped in the Jail de-
livery in July last and was not heretofore
captured. owing to the dilapidated con-

on charges of felony are kept constantly
in the cells. It is the only way to keep
them, as some OF them have escaped twice
