Sensational Court Scenes

The case of the State VS.. Gray
was called on the l 9Th before Justice
Petefsh. County Attorney Bodle
filed a motion to compel Attorneys
Painter and Griggs to submit to him
what evidence they had in their pos
session, or he would haye the case
dismissed. The matter was argued
by all the Attorneys during which
there was some very sensational
features. Attorneys Griggs and
Painter attack Judge Bodle person
ally and charged him with neglect
of official duty and being in collusion
with the defendant. Mr.. Painter
made about a FIVE or ten minute
speech and wound up with some
thing about good wives and good
mothers which drew loud applause
from one side of the house. Judge
Petehsh had to rap vigorously for
order. During the speech some
mention was made of the Attorney
General by Painter, who seemed
to have reported that Bodle was not
doing his duty, whereupon, Bodle
informed Painter, before the court
and audience that he had informed
the Attorney General that he Paint
er) was an infamous fabricator.
Judge Bodle closed the argument
with some very sarcastic remarks to
both of his co-counsel. charging
that they were carrying on ma
licious prosecution and that Mr..
Griggs had accepted money from
three of the defendants and promised
to have the cases dismissed and did
have two of them dismissed. Mr..
Griggs repeatedly interrupted the
Judge by stating that the charges
were absolutely false. 1t was quite
exciting all afternoon but the wind
works batteries were the only ones
brought into action and as the decks
were cleared for action Immediately
after dinner all the principals had
clean sweep and riddled each other
from stem to stern. After the smoke
of this furious bombardment of each
others works, they all three went
out together for a friendly consulta-
ton and probably to ascertain the
amount of damage done each other.
On Wednesday morning motion
was made by the defense to dis
charge the jury drawn by ex-Justice
Smith on the ground that he had no
authority. This motion was sus-
tained and new venire drawn.
The attorneys began in the same
manner as on the previous afternoon
and for a time looked as though
there might be serious trouble be-
tween Co. Atty. Bodle and Mr..
Griggs. Each attorney then pledg-
ed himself to refrain from all per-
sonal insinuations and to demean
themselves properly before the court.
We are sorry to reportsuch scenes
as the above as this case could be
tried in a manner that would not
bring degradation upon the legal
profession and it would be much
better for both prosecution and de-
fense as well.

Some of the surrounding counties
are becoming alarmed over vista
ton of the Hessian fly, which they
say has already appeared in the
wheat fields. Last year it did con-
siderable damage in Mcpherson
county. The best remedy is close
pasturing. The fly lays its eggs in
the fall on the leaves, which hatch
out the pest in the spring that does
the damage. By close pasturing
these eggs are destroyed and the
chances for the brood destroyed.
Pasture your wheat and you have
your crop safe from the fly. 1t is
the only remedy known.-Kingman

Story of Man Who Cultivated Nice
 Diaposition

''Do you see that woman going out? said the man in the dry goods house whose business it is to make things all right" with dissatisfied customers She's only one of 'em. I have a score or more every day She's kicking about dress. We've altered it twice, and she still thinks it doesn't quite fit her iii the back. It's hard job to look pleasant and be perennialIy agreeable, and I never knew but one man who l could do it. He was the complaint man in a big store-a friend of mine and he held the place for twenty years. He never failed to say the right thing and was the most perfect jolly that ever was. He knaW how to com- pliment woman as to form and com pleXion in a way that never was equal ed. His smile was the envy of all the saiesmen in the place. It had a win ming sweetness about it that was sim- ply irresistible and never failed to van quish the most desperate kicker. One day an uncle of my friend died and left him 10000. A few moments after the news reached my friend an old pa tron of the store came ina woman who for years had been noted as 6 kicker, but whom it had been my friends duty and pleasure to make sat- isfied with her purchases. She had bonnet in her hand and was kicking about the shape, the trimmings and everything in way that was calcu- lated to carry terror to the stoutest heart. 'So,' said my friend, you don't like this bonnet. You don't like any thing about it. We'll, I don't blame you. It don't suit you In any way, and 1t can't be made to suit you. Of course 1t can't. And there's no bonnet on earth that can be made to suit such pig-faced, disagreeable woman as you are, anyway, He had repressed his natural feeling for twenty years, but the worm that had been trodden upon through two decades turned at last He then put on his hat, and the place that had known him so long knew him no more forever. ..-Ex.
