see that the man Welch who shot
tour people at the fair grounds, one OF
them an innocent bystander and the
other three with evident intent to kill,
has been released on $1,000 bonds, to
appear for trial before the district
court this fall. This may be justice,
II may be policy, and il may be all
right. As one citizen Of Great Bend
who has the good name OF the town
al heart, and one also who wants to
see the innocent protected al all times,
| want to say that every good citizen,
as well as the city and county officers
owe il 10 the public TO see that the
man who went into a crowd of peo-
pie and endangered the lives Of all is
prosecuted TO the full limit Of the law.
There should be no compromise, and
no favoritism. Not persecution, but
prosecution such as the seriousness
Of the case demands.

Under "BOstins'" Shadow.

Arkansas will have to step down
and out as a horrible example" Of
illiteracy if this thing keeps up. A
village has be, n found in Maine
where no school has been kept, where
onlv one boy in the district knows the
name of the President of the United
States, only one who had ever heard
of the Spanish American war, and
only one knew of the war between
Japan and Russia. Maine IS in New
England, TOO, and almost under the
shadow Of "Bosling."

Those who went to Riverside park

Hinsdale settle with Keene for the

the score stood IA TO in their favor.
Mccormick was found for seven hits

allowing six hits in two innings.
Keene scored six runs In the second
