Belle Boyd was dead. In the days OF
my buyhood regarded this woman
AS Il heroine who WAS entitled TO a
very high place in the history OF her
country.
Belle Boyd was IL Virginian OF good
family. She was nn ardent COnfcdcr-

ginning OF our civil war she went to
work 10 aid the cause OF her friends.
She carried dispatches and did the
work Of a spy until the Federal au.

time and again, but her ready wit and
wUmAnly destinations made 1t easy for
her TO escape without serious punish

fearless. Frequently she took midnight
rides In localities which were con
sidcrcd unsafe for the bOldcst men.
More than once rude Federal soldiers
arrested her ana scarchcd her person
Tor dispatches, but she generally dis
appointed them. When she could not
destroy the documents she carried she
swallowed them.
After she had made hcrs0lf famous
as a Confederate spy she visited At

COurtcSlcs from our best people. AT
that time we had only one thea

An Important Case.

Action has been commenced in
the district court against the bonds
men of EXEC. Treas. Geo. w.
Wiley, to recover s3,861.14, with
interest at per cent from the nth
day of Oct, 1898. The books
of the treasurer's office were examin-
ed last summer and showed a deficit
of that amount. Action was begun
against Mr.. Wiley for embezzlement
and defaulcation. The case will
come up at the next sitting of court
at this place.
We regret that these gentleman
are called upon to pay shortage
for a man in whom they had the
utmost confidence when they signed
his bond. 1t certainly makes man
feel that he will not sign any more
bonds, and causes him to lose con-
fidence in mankind generally.

Mr.. John c. Fry left again for his
home in Larned Saturday. Mr.. Fry
has been engaged by Ex-County
Treasurer Wiley, presumably for the
purpose of making an examination
of the books used by Mr.. Wiley
when county treasurer, said examin-
alton to be used in his defense. Ii
seems to US that Mr.. Wiley is going
to needless expense, as the examina-
ton of these books by twenty ex-
perts would be of no value, only for
convenience and reference. The
books themselves are the evidence,
and by them Mr.. Wiley must stand
or fall. If the books are all right
and everything is straight, he ought
to be thoroughly able and competent
to explain them to the satisfaction
of any court or jury. He made the
record and should be able to explain
it. If man is afraid of his own
record, how on earth can he expect
any one else to have confidence in
it?
