lowing letter is published exactly as
it was written to the county squire:
Dear Sir: In behalf of the South Side
Debating club I will take the liberty in
writing and asking you a question. One
side says that you can issue a mari iage
license and have 1t suppressed from the
public or keep it from the papers and the
other side says the reverse. AS we can
not com to an agreement, it was left to
a vote to write to you and take your an
sTtr as final. Hoping You will reply with
our request we remain.
Yours Respectfully,
SOUTH SIDE DEBATING CLUB.
Justice Greensfelder replied that liz
censes were issued by the recorder OF

twenty-five calibre rifle. The two men
went across a field to intercept the

Leary, at the same time springing be-
hind his companion, using him as a
shield Niegenfind fired his remain
ing five shots without effect. Then
Leary and Borum poured fusillade of
shots into him until he fell. He was
brought to Winside and doctors are
attending him. They believe he will
live, although he is unconscious.

provocation, killed his divorced wife
and her father and wounded his
mother-in.law and his sisterin-law.
He escaped and sent back word he
would finish the rest of the family be-.
