they for him. At least they seem to
follow him off when he happens
around the roost at night. Heap has
stood their prosecutions for some
time in silence, simply taking them
up to Barkley's poultry establishment
and having them confined. Finally
it became so annoying that Heap
could stand it no longer and laid In a
before Police Judge Herod
and had about a dozen of the trouble
some chickens locked up IN the
criminal cage. The judge heard the
case very patiently and listened to
Heaps complaint and condemned the
chickens, but somehow in rendering i
his decision he got Heaps name mix
ed up in it and the neighbors came in
and carried off their unruly chickens
and Heap seems to be in for a short
term of board at Sheriff Jockeys
celebrated hosiery. Heap is a
young colored boy of the town, who
wears good clothes, sings like a lark
and always has money to spend. Heap
is to be pitied. He has some good
qualities, but like Topsy, he had no
bringing up-he just groWe1. If
Heaps father had sworn off a few
years before he did and taken little
care of his family, Heap would haze
been different boy. There is still
chance for Heap. He can make d
man of himself yet if he but try, and
we hope to see him do it.
On last Monday afternoon as a
gentleman, who does not disire hls
name used, was passing near the resi-
d,uce Of Sam Ross, In the south part 1
town, he was suddenly attacked by a
dog that was evidently mad. AS the
gentleman had nothing to protect
himself but an umbrella and the dog
sprang at his throat he shot the UNI
brella at him and the beast caught it
with his teeth but in moment ran
off in another direction when he at
tackled and bit a horse and two or
three dogs before he was killed. One
of the dogs bitten was Mr.. Ross dog
and he was also killed. The dogs
known TO have been bitten by this mad
dog have all been killed, but still
there may be many dogs bitten and
the only safe way is to kill the dogs.
One human life is Of more worth than
all the useless dogs in Chanute. There
was no question about the dog being
mad as the gentleman that was at
tackled aud others that saw the dog
will testify. Let the dogs die. They
are of 70 use.
On our return from Erie, last Tues
day, we found box of most luscious
and mommoth strawberries our table,
with the name of A. f. Taylor at
tached. Well, that do beat all, we
knew Mr.. Taylor to be one of the very
best and most successful farmers in
the county, but did not know he was
an expert IN berry raising. Come to
think the matter over, we will wager
our last years straw hat that Mrs.
Taylor bossed the berry patch.
G. e. Carroll of Thayer, is in
trouble. He induced a man to in
dorse note with him, representing
to his victim that he was we'll fixed
in worldly goods and had a large es-
tate in expectancy. 1t finally develop
ed that he had nothing. Mr.. Carroll
now boards with Sheriff Yockey. He
don't object so much to the board
that is furnished him, but does kick
on the apartments to which he is as
signed.
Elder Chambers of carleton, deliver
ed most excellent Memorial sermon

point and from the heart. His ser
mon received marked attention and
was we'll received by the audience.

long they have got old. We mean
The potatoes.
