None Are Killed

Lawrenceburg. Tenn, Nov. IA
b. Cole and his 7-year-old daughter,
of Buforo's Station, Giles County. AND
Mrs. Cole, of Waynesboro. a sister OF
Mrs. DIR. j. C. Taylor. of this place.
came very near losing their lives to-
day. They were on their way to visit
Mrs. Taylor in buggy drawn by two
horses. and had reached the railroad
crossing, one mile north of here just
as the horses stepped on the crossing
Mr.. Cole noticed the rapidly-apprcach-
ing south bound passenger train, but
before he could clear the track the
engine struck the horses, killing one
instantly, completely demolishlng the
buggy and throwing the occupants TO
the ground.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cole escaped unhurt,
but the little girl was badly bruised.
The train came to a standstill as quick
possible and the party were taken
on board and brought to the city.
Medical aid was Immediately sum-
moned, and il was found that the girl
had very ugly wound behind the ear
and several slight bruises on her body.
No bones appeared to have been
broken, but a second examination
will be made, as the child was so
badly frightened and crying so pitt
fully the physicians deferred further
examination until she became quiet.
1t is the opinion of the physicians that
no bones are broken and no serious
internal injuries were inflicted.

A Contest Case Filed.

county clerk has filed a contest with
the Probate. Judge, asking that the
Certificate of election issued to D..
p Wysong for county clerk be set
aside, and he be declared the regularly
elected clerk.
The petition of the contestor al
leges that at the recent election a
number of votes were rejected by the
election bords in the various town
ships, which should have been count
ed, and which would have elected
Wehrle had they been counted.
These ballots all contained a cross
mark In the square opposite ''no
nomination" for Judge of the 31st
Judicial district, on the Democratic
ticket. This the boards held in
validated the whole ballot, and did
not count them for any of the candi-
dates. In this manner Wehrle was
deprived of the necessary number of
votes to elect him. We don't think
there is anyone in Meade county
doubts this part of petition in the
contest case. Neither do we believe
anyone in Meade County doubts
but that Frank Wehrle received a
majority of the votes of Meade Co.
for the Office of county clerk.
The only object of his filing con-
test is to determine the matter wheth-
er the will of the majority of the
people can be defeated by a mere
technicality in the law; whether,
thirty or forty voters can be practi-
cally disfranchised by the mere mark
ing of cross mark in a square on
the ballot where there is ''no NOM
ination" If Mr.. Wehrle had been
beaten by majority of the votes he
would simply step down and out
without saying a word. But as the
condition is entirely different, he did
receive majority of the votes cast
and it is duty he owes not only to
himself but to all the men of this
county who voted for him to test the
matter and see if their will is to be
defeated by ballot law which dis
franchises them if they do not mark
it exactly according to the letter of
said law.
Heretofore, it has been held by
the Supreme Court that the intent
Ion of the voter should govern the
counting of all ballots and has been
so Decided by that tribunal, but
what decision will be rendered under
the present law is the question to be
decided. No case of this kind has
been before that body under the pres
ent law, and decision is awaited
with interest all over Kansas.
Since the above case was filed be-
fore Judge jenkins, he has appoint
ed Mr.. John H. Ellis, of Mertilla,
and Mr.. R. A. Harper, of this city,
as associate Judges to constitute the
contest court. F. G.. Hamilton has
been appointed clerk of the court.
The law provides that the county
clerk shall act in this capacity, but
as he is party to the suit in this
case, Mr.. Hamilton was appointed.
The case mas been set for December
~.

Two boys were recently playing
by the railroad track, and as young
sters are wont, fell to discussing the
relative merits of their respective
pets. Now the Elder boy had dog
that was. supposed to be about the
hardest proposition to go up against
of any cur in the community. He
assumed a lordly air of superiority
over the other members of the
canine, as well as the feline
species of the town, and had
for long time been considered in
vincible. The younger boy had
badger that was not so slow when it
came to performing stunts in the
prize ring. So the two were match
ed for a contest to the finish, and
the owners, being shy of filthy lucre,
but genuine sports nevertheless, wag-
cred their hats on the outcome.
In the first round the dog assumed
the offensive and rushed the badger
all over the ring, finally forcing him
to the ropes where he rallied and
delivered telling upper cut on dogs
maxillary. Second round, badger
still on the defensive succeeded in
avoiding dogs terrific rushes by
clever lodging, and landed lightly
several times, finally getting home a
heavy right in the solar plexus.
Third round, considerable fiddling
was INDUCED by both sides; dog
found badge with left hook which
was responded to by jab from
badges right; clinch followed in
which fouls were dealt by both sides
and they were warned by the ref
cree. Fourth round, dog appeared
groggy and was bleeding profusely
but still game; badge was fresh but
wary; badge fddled and watched
for an opening; dog landed on badges
neck; badge refused to break away,
or recognize time when called; all
scientific principles were lost sight
of in a grand rough and tumble, and
they .'fit and fit and fit". And fin
ally as the setting sun burst through
a cloud of roseate splendor, and Iris
spred her rainbowed wings and few
on her message to Minerva, dogs
second threw up the sponge and the
scrap was awarded to badge; and
the dog, bleeding and bruised, limp
ed out of the ring with dropping mar
rative, detected demense, hole in
the side of his head where an optic
had once sparkled, and leaving be-
hind hair enough to stuff mattress,
he seemed to think that he had been
entirely out classed; and as his own
er wended his way hOmeward, bare
headed through the driving rain he
found but littles consolation in the
biblical assurance that the rain falls
equally on the just and the unjust.
