History Still Kinked.

The Lime Springs Sun claims to set
more type1 than any otherl Howard
county newspaper. For the purpose
of keeping history right we wish to
contradict that. The New Era leads
all Howard county newspapers in that
respect. We believe the Sun comes
second sometimes. Our columns are
set solid, with no leads even between
the locals while the Sun Is loaded to
beat the band. But you are getting
OUT a good paper Zook, better than
the town deserves considering the
support given it by the business men.
-Elma New Era.
Last weeks new Era contained 1851
inches home set matter, including
display heads, paid readers etc. The
two issues of the PLAIN DEALER for
last week contained 25S inches of like
matter, and we are not proud Of the
amount either as rush of job work
prevented US from setting up much
more than two-thirds of our usual
amount.

ON CHARGE or EXTORT|ON
First Case Of This Nature Ever In
Court in This County.
The AMOUNT TAKEN WAS 500
~.
lanes Mason Taken to the Home for Ia
curables Thursday Morning cass 10
@*
the Police Court.

@. A. Sehar II. n resident of this
county near Jones Spring. was ar
rested Wednesday evening by Consta-
BILE Lemen on the charge of extort-
ing money to the amount of 500 from
CLAW Basore. also resident of that
neichborhood. The charge Is u crimi-
nal offense, and II proven the pris-
oner is liable to term of from TO 8
years in the penitentiarv. He was
given "A hearinK Friday morning at
10 o'clock before Justice Roberts.
The plaintiff says that he was
hired 10 haul bark ON the mountain,
and in a mistake took the bark Of
Scharff instead of that for which Ito
was sent. He meet SchaFf on the
road, who accused him OF stealing
and said that If he would give him
$500 he would drop the matter. After
discussion, they COMPROMISED at
500, I for which he gave him re-
ceipt..
He IL said to be very ignorant. and
thought that he might bs arrested
on the charge of theft. After the oc-
curanee on the mountain. he spoke
to some of his friends about tho
matter, and they advised him to have
the arrest made. which he did. This
is the plaintiffs story of the affair.
The statement made bv this accused
is quite different in every respect.
He said that Soharff was la the habit
CT stealing his bark, as we'll as that
OF Others. and that they had endeavor-
ed number of times TO catch him
but were unable until last wees. He
said that the receipt was given for
the bark, but limited that its
value was not 800. Other resi-
dents of that neirhborhood oorrobora-
ted the statement made by the &C
cused. The decision will nave to be
made by the evidence of the wit
nasses. There beinga number on both
sides, and the case will no doubt be
very interesting.
| This is the first case OF this nature
that has been in the court in this city
for the last ID years at least, II ever
before that time. One of the ju s.
tice's. who has been in the business
for number of years saws that ii is
the first that he knows of.
