A new policeman often makes amuse-
ment for the older members of the po-
lice force but the greenest one on record
was a special who for convenience will
be called Jones.
Jones was assigned to the residence
part OF town west of Kansas avenue
He was to work in connection with an
other special officer. The first night
Jones reported that he had seen several
suspicious characters. He borrowed a
revolver and a box of cartridges and
went out on his beat. 1t was dark
night.
He was walking along and saw a
man coming toward him. He drew his
revolver, stepped to the side of the walk
and waited. AS the man was opposite
him he jumped to the sidewalk, stuck
the revolver in the mans face and
commanded him to hold up his hands.
The man was the other special police
man.
In a short time the special returned
to the station and reported that Jones
was too thorough in his work and he
would rather not be in his neighbour
hood. A half hour later another man
came and later still another all report
ing that they had been held up for ex-
animation by a play detective with a
tin star. 1t was Jones' He held up
everyone at the point of his revolver
and examined them.

CATTLE QUARANTINE.
It Is to Be Directed Against Tuber-
culosis Illinois Stock.

The probabilities are that at the next
meeting the Kansas live stock sanitary
commission will establish a quarantine
against Illinois to prevent the shipment
into the state of stock and dairy cat
tie
This is due to the fact that the COM
missiOners believe there is danger of tu-
berculoSis getting into Kansas from IL
linOis. NJ. G. Campbell, a member of
the commission, has been in Chicago
during the week Witnessing the slaugh-
losis, and it is his opinion that a quar-
antine should be established.
The commissioners have not taken
the matter up officially, but the mem
bers individually favor the establish
ment of a quarantine against Illinois
cattle at this time.

Rehearing Granted.

The court of appeals has granted a
rehearing in the suit of John c. Doug
lass against Isaac Lieberman, a tax
title suit from LeaVenwOrth. The reason
for the rehearing is that the defendant
knew nothing about the case until he
received notice that the court had rem
dered a judgment against him. Through
an oversight the court officials did not
notice that the plaintiff had not served
notice of the appeal on the defendant,
and when the plaintiff appeared to ar
que the case the court understood that
the defendant would make no defense
Judge Hook was the defendants at
torney before he went on the federal
bench. and it was upon an affidavit
made by him that a rehearing was

which will face the bunch of white
