Was Honored Today for Delivery to
Officers of Alfred Shobe.

For the first time in the history of
the state, the governor has received a
requisition from the Indian territory
for a prisoner under arrest in this

1t is quite common for Kansas
criminals to escape to the territory
and to be sent for under an executive
warrant, but tire reversal of the order
is without precedent. The territory
requisition is drawn by Judge Charles
w Raymond, of Muskogee. and is for
Alfred Shobe. who is charged with
stealing 1920 from Rosie Shobe. Shobe
is held by the sheriff of Montgomery
county.

DoUGHERTY WANTS HIS PAY.
Appeals to Supreme Court for Aid i'm
Collecting $75.

Robert Dougherty, superintendent
of the waterworks plant at Newton,
has mandamused the mayor of New
ton, CASTOR Boyd, in the supreme court
to get his salary for July. The writ
was issued Thursday at Garden City
by Justice Henry F. Mason, and the
papers have just been received by the
clerk of the supreme court. The writ
is made returnable September Is.
Nothing is shown by the petition as
to the reason for which Mayor Boyd
refused to sign Dougherty's pay check,
amounting to SIS. 1t seems likely that
there is a political row at the bottom
of it.

When I was a boy on the old plantation,
Down by the deep bayou,
The fairest spot Of all creation
Under the arching blue.
When the wind came over the cotton and
corn
To the long slim loop I'd spring,
With brown feet bare and hat brim
torn.
And swing in the grapevine swing.
Swinging in the grapevine swing,
Laughing where the wild birds sing
dream and I sigh
For the days gone by
Swinging IN the grapevine swing.
Out DER the water lilies. bonnie and
bright;
Back to the moss grown trees.
I shouted and laughed with heart as
As a wild rose tossed by the breeze.

Swinging ir the grapevine swing
I'm weary at noon. I'm weary at night.
I'm fretted and sore OF heart.
And care is sowing my locks with white
As went through the fevered mart;
I'm tired OF the world with It's pride and
pomp.
And fame seems a worthless thing;
I'd barter it all for one days romp
