Farm Machinery Business Change.

The deal which was in progress of
completion when we went to press
last week, for the purchase by HI.
Engbretson of the Purdy & Jerviss
stock and business in farm machinery
has been successfully closed, and Mr.
Engbretson is in the harness again in
his old place, after an absence of four
or five years. The reason for the sale
was the poor health of Mr.. Purdy,
which prevented him from giving the
business the attention he desired.
The many friends of Mr.. Engbretson
will be pleased to learn that he is
again doing business at the same old
stand where he was for so many years
He will doubtless enjoy the same
liberal patronage that was accorded
him before.

Hit by Stray Bullet.

Last Sunday M. H. Merrill was
walking near the twin bridges north
of Curtin's addition, when stray shot
fired by some one short distance
away struck him in the side, but
fortunately it went through a thick
memorandum book which he carried
in his pocket, and lodged in his cloth
ing. He considers it quite fortunate
that he was not nearer the person who
fired the shot, and that it struck the
book in his pocket.

versal suffrage and NJ. Demblen, a So
cialist. shouted, 1--WE are betrayed"

Affects Thirty Convicts.

Topeka, April 9.-About thirty con-
vcts in the state penitentiary are
affected by the decision of the supreme
court in the Norton murder case from
Cherokee county. The court held that
Norton was not legally tried because
the court of common pleas, now de-
funct, was an unconstitutional court.
About thirty other convicts were sent
to prison by that court and are still
there. The court will no doubt order
the warden to turn them back to the
sheriff of Cherokee county for trial in
the district court.
