rss Jury Made no Mistake IN sizing U
the witnesses
When first located in the city OF
Wichita says Governor stanley. \
WAS called on by a rather nice appear.
INK man who wanted me to defend him.
He had been arrested for horse
stealing. I asked him what his line OF
defense was and he said that he Ia
tended to prove an alibi Then he call
ed in a half-dozen or more good look
ing and well dressed men, as dress
went in that early day. They told me-
just what they would swear to and i
decided the defense was perfect In
deed, after l had heard the stories OF
these witnesses it seemd to me to be an
outrage that my client should have
been arrested at ALL Judge Sluss was
the prosecuting attorney and when the
day Of my clients trial came OH was
confident Sluss. It seemed to me. didn't
make very strong case for the state.
Then put on my witnesses who swore
one after another that my man wasn't
in the neighborhood where the crime
was committed at the time. Sluss did
MT even cross-examine my witnesses
and l supposed that he had given up
all hope Of conviction. After the testi-
mony and charge OF the court to the
jury. I proposed to submit the case
without argument "AI right" said
Sluss. 4 am willing to do that" was
feeling jubIlant and thought my client
had cinch, but in about Is minutes
the jury returned and to my utter as
tonishment announced a verdict OF
guilty. They were all agreed. it seem
ed, on the first ballot After the YER
dict had been rendered and the jury
discharged I asked one OF the jurymen
how in the world they arrived at a
verdict Of guilty in the face Of the
testimony I had introduced. "Oh, all
the jury know them witnesses Of
yours. We lnow'd they were all liars
and hoss thieves themselves"

WONDERFUL BILL In EQUITY IN THE
FEDERAL COURT.
j.. C. Cromwell and william Garrett
File a S~uit-Other Cases in the
Local Courts.

j. c. Cromwell and William Garrett, Of
Cleveland, o., lave fled a bill in the Fed
eral Court against Burton II. Gedge, Of
Anderson. asking an injunction against his
use of a patent rod-reel. The plaintiffs al
lege that their patent was granted in 1899
and Gedge's in 1901. They allege he is now
claiming the exclusive use of it.
A bill in equity is a wonderful
In this one your orators" appeal to
your honors' with a profusion of verbiage
to prevent the patent infringement. The
invention at first blush appears to be a
fighting reel. This, of course, interested
inquiry. Five pages of your orators and
your honors' do not remove this convic-
ton, but neither do they strengthen II.
Then come exhibits "A" and "B." One is
of the letters patent granted to the plain
tiffs; the other is those granted to the de-
PENDANT. The most careful and searching
reading of the Patent Office phraseology
fails to reassure that the rod-reel has any
connection with piscatorial pastime. Like
wise the drawings; they are either for a
mill or an engine, according to the I'M
skilled and untutored reporter. A careful
study of the bill, the drawings and the
specific description separately and together
fails to reveal whether the reel is for use
on a hosting derrick or a fly pole.
But there Is confidence in the court.
Judge Baker is a disciple of Walton. your
orators and your honors'' will not throw
dust in his eyes. If it is a fishing reel he
will know IL.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
BAD NO HEC TO GOOD
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.
Prices Firm ard Steady and I'm Some
Cases Higher-Grain Markets
Light, but in Very Good Tone.

Despite the unfavorable weather the last
day or two trade with the wholesale houses
the present week has been the best they
ever enjoyed The low rates brought many
merchants to the city, and they spent some
time buying goods from the large local
stocks. Especially was this true with the
dry goods houses, which seem to have
p~rofted most. but the boot and shoe mer-
chants, the druggists and confectioners,
and, in fact, every line of trade. were more
or less benefited, and as usual when mer-
chants are busy changes in values were
few. The produce markets are growing
stronger daily. The older produce men DO
not recollect a year when prices of poultry,
eggs and butter have ruled as high and for
so long a period as during the present year.
Storage eggs are now offered on the mar
ket, so short is the supply, and butter is
very firm at the recent advance. Fat,
healthy poultry is a fast mover at the pre-
vailing figures. Leather is in stronger po-
sition, and hides are firmer, but not quota
bly, changed. Provisions. despite the high
range of prices, are moving very freely In
a domestic way, but export trade Is light.
Iron and hardware merchants are very
busy. Prices are. firm at the range of some
time past, this being another market which
has ruled firm and steady for many months.
Other lines begin to show the usual fall ac-
tiyity.
