An Explanation.

In recent issue of this paper
we gave a brief account of the
Jess Lanham case in which we re-
cited the number of times he was
released and not held for trial.
The third time the case was before
w. T. Miles, Justice of the Peace of
Fowler twp. where it was dismissed
at the request of Co. Atty. Selvidge.
Mr.. Miles was requested by the
County Attorney to dismiss the
case, as the docket will show. Our
article was not definite and left the
impression that Mr.. Miles released
him the same as E. D. Smith and
Mrs. Painter which was not the
case, and we do not desire anyone
to get the impression that Billie
Miles turned Jess Lanham loose,
for he did not. The case has been
dragging along for considerable
time and Selvidge, no doubt, was
under the impression, that no one
would appear. and at the last time
it was set for hearing no one ap-
peared, taking everything into con-
sideration there was nothing else to

Struck Wafer.

A good well has been secured al
depth of 100 feet at the city well
on the northeast corner ofthe square.
1t will be completed and in good
working order in few days more.
The committee is at work figuring
on Iooo-barrel tank which will be
erected at once and Meade will soon
have a water works system. They
are also figuring on piping the water
to each corner of the square. The
well is the best in this part of the
county. The water rises to within
80 feet of the top of the ground and
throws out about 80 gallons per
minute. 1t is daisy and no mis-
take. We are now assured of an
abundance of water.
The well was sunk by Tom Hotz
assisted by Alex Tripod, and was
begun less than a week ago.

The Old SoIdiers' Reunion.

The Fair and Driving Park asso
citation decided at meeting held OF
Tuesday night that no races or othel
outside attractions would be arrang
ed for the four days during the re-
union here, September to S, and II
is evident from the attractions in the
way of prominent men and speakers
secured, that no extras will be need
ed to draw a crowd to Dodge City
at that time.
One of the late additions to the
list of prominent men secured is
General Fred Funston, who has ac-
cepted an invitation to address the
veterans of Western Kansas, and
who will be here at least one day of the
week. In fact from present appear
ances every body will be in Dodge
City during the reunion, and they
will make no mistake in coming, as
there will certainly be ga time"
The large posters which soon will
be sent over the country announcing
the event will bear as speakers upon
the different days the following: Cen
eral Fred Funston, Senator James H.
Berry of Arkansas, Congressman
Chester 1. Long, w. J. Bailey, Gov.
Stanley, Chas. Curtis, Senator w.
A. Harris, Chas. F. Scott, General
Wilder S. Metcalf, w. H. Craddock,
Vernon J. Rose, T. A. Noftzger,
Fred Dumont Smith and others
The department commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic, H. c.
Loomis, will be here, also the de-
partment president of the Woman's
Relief Corps, Emma E. Porter, and
he preside mt of the Ladies of the
G. A. R., Mary Stanley. The de-
partment colonel of the Sons of Vet
Grams, T. R. Longshore, will also
attend.
A committee from the reunion as
sociation met Tuesday night with the
board of directors of the park asso-
citation. 1t was represented that the
reunion program had grown to such
proportions that it would occupy the
the entire time during the four days
of the meeting and that any side is
sue that might be arranged would
necessarily detract from the reunion.
The committee from the reunion as
sociation was assured that no ar
rangement would be made which
would interfere iu any way with the
pleasure of the veterans. The old
soldiers will have full charge of the
city park, fair grounds and as much
land in all directions as they can
utilize. The meeting promises to be
a big affair and everyone at this
place will help to make it success
in all ways.-Dodge City Globe

skin from his right leg from the ankle
to the hip. breaking the leg and bruis.
ing his back, and from which injuries
he claimed to have been crippled for
life, and to have been prevented from
following his vocation as carpenter.
The plaintiff showed that the clamp
usel on the shaft was an unusual and
crude one, and that by reason of the
poor light in that part of the mill and
the rapidity of the revolving clamps,
the plaintiff was prevented from ac-
quainting himself with the dangers of

contributory negligence of the plaintiff

under the state of the pleadings and
the defendants case was limited to an
effort to show that the clamp used was
the ordinary clamp used about such
machinery, and that the place in which
the plaintiff was sent to work was rea-
sonably safe and was an ordinary
hazard assumed by such an employ,
