A Killing at Springyaie.

In an alteration between Jim Johnson
otherwise known as three-hngered John
son) and Emil Thomas just across the
county line near Springvale, Pratt county;
the former was killed by the latter last
Saturday.
Johnson and Thomas mad been enc
mics for year or more. They are neigh
bors. On Saturday Thomas crossed
Johnson land on his way to his own
field to drill wheat, and according to the
friends Of Thomas, Johnson approached
him and ordered him not to cross his
land. Thomas replied that he would
comply and that it should be the last
time he would trespass. Johnson fol-
lowed him and when they came to a
fence corner hit Thomas over the head
and shoulders with club, bruising him
considerably. Thomas struck back with
his FIST and struck Johnson under the jaw
The blow broke the jaw-bone and rup-
tured the jugular vein from the effects Of
which Johnson died within an hour. AZ
ter striking the blow Thomas went his
way not knowing that johnson was hurt.
Mrs. Johnson noticed her husband strug-
Cling after Thomas had left him and ran
from the house to his assistance. The
father of Thomas also came about the
same time and learning Johnsons condi-
ton hurried to his son and told him what
he had done. The young man at once
unhitched and went to his victim to hno
: that he was dying. The officers at Pratt
were notified and after they arrived and
an inquest was held, Emil Thomas went
to Pratt, gave himself up to the authori
ties and gave bond of $4,000 for hi
appearance for trial in the district court ir
that county.
Emil is brother Of J. E. Thomas o
Turkey Creek, republican candidate 70
county superintendent, and brother-n
law Of Jim Thomas Of this city. Thos'
who know him here say he is a peacea
bic young man and never molests any on
without provocation. They claim ais
that Johnson has always been quar-
relsome, disagreeable character and wa
> entirely to blame.
, We have not heard the other side c
the story, # there is another side. Tn
fact that the Pratt authorizes are holdin
Mr.. Thomas seems to indicate that ther
are some facts which have thus far no
leaked out here.
The dead man leaves a family. H
was about thrty-6ve years old. Thoma
is about twenty-one ahd is unmarried
He lives with his parents who are sal
to be almost PROSTATE on account Of tn
great misfortune.

Damage Suits Dismissed.

The libel suit broguht against the In
dex by Henry ]. Bolerjack Of the Yel-
lowstone IN Oklahoma, to recover $4,000
alleged damages on account Of an article
published in relation to the White larceny
case, last February, was dismissed at the
opening Of court Monday on motion Of
Noble & Tmcher, attorneys for plaintiff.
1t was the sensible thing to do. The
Index explained the matter at the time
the suit was brought. The writer got
Mr.. Bolerjack's name confused with that
Of another witness in reviewing the testi-
mony and he became indignant and
brought suit. There never was any
doubt as to the final outcome but we
would rather not have such luxuries to
contend with. However. we are glad
that Mr.. Bolerjack and his friends came
to their senses and acted gentlemanly IN
the matter.
The other big damage suit on the
docket. Emma Myers VS.. Dr.. J. H.
Donovan, was also dismissed. There
was even less excuse for this suit than the
one against the Index. Dr.. Donovan
treated the plaintiff husband IN his sick
ness but without success. He lost his
case as all doctors often do. but he did
his best. The suit was brought on the
theory that he failed to do his duty but
the plaintiff could not even get start IN
producing evidence. Everybody sym
pathized with Mrs. Myers IN her
great misfortme but the suit was very
strongly condemned. We are glad the
matter has been dropped and hope that
