3D. 1900 Nicholas Shockman, of Cot
feyville, was given judgment by
the district court against the M. K.
& T. railroad for $1,000 for the loss
of an arm. The case has been fought
through the supreme court two or
three times, but the lower court was
finally sustained and an execution was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Pruttt

days ago, since which time the rail-
road has INDUCED in many dilatory

purpose of settling up the judgment.
Instead of transacting the bushes
with the sheriff's Office he went into
around among the papers and after
figuring awhile he wrote a check for
$9,0S1 and left, saying he guessed
that was all I'VE" owed. He did not
even take a receipt for the check. 1t

concerned the matter is still in his
hands.
He wrote the general attorney of
the railroad, T. n. Sedgwick, at Par
sons, this morning and told him that
he must send man here to settle the
claim The sheriff says that if the
matter is not settled satisfactorily by
the railroad company he will go to
Coffeyville and seize a train or other
property sufficient to cover the claim.

Cherryvale, was absent from her
school half a day this week and sat in
the county Jail here. wearing a pair of
handouts. Miss White was visiting
the court house and Jail with a, party
of friends, when Clayton Axton, a
young man in the party, playfully
snapped a pair of handouts on her
wrists 1t happened that they were
the only handouts in the Jail for
which the jailer had no key The
deputy sheriff, who had the key, had
gone to Havana.
The young woman had to wear the
handouts until the jailer could manu-
facture a key which would unlock
them. She wore them two hours, and
during that time was an attraction
of a curious throng of visitors, who
thought her a criminal awaiting
transportation to a more secure jail.
