st. Joseph, Mo-, June "a A jury

at the instance OF Gambler Tor per-
hitting his chickens to run as large
and was fined Ia she police court.
King admitted that she action had
been Suggested by the former
prosecution. Gambler made no at
tempt to disprove the allegations OF
the state. He admitted he had work,
ed Sunday, but explained inextenua-
tion that his work In "a shoe factory
left him no time In which TO do odd
Jobs about his home on work days His
attorneys argued that the law under
which his client was being prosecuted
was Survivor OF the blue laws" and
thatit was obsolete. The jury which
returned the verdict waived Its claim
to fees.
"In returning this verdict SAID
the foreman, 1--WE are carrying out

Courthouse justices say that this
waving OF fees on the part Of jury

THE DRAINAGE WORK.
Five Big Boats Are Now Max.
ing the Dirt Fly in Bates
County.

Rich Hill Review.
With five big dredge boats work
ing night and day, Sunday and all II
now begins to look as though Bates
county would soon have "sure
enough" drainage ditch. The Papin-
Vile boat, the largest OF the bunch,
began work the latter part of last
week and has already excsvsted
three or four hundred feet OF the big
ditch. This large boat has but three
miles to dig to complete It's part oil
the work, but being located on the
east end Of the drainage district,
where the ditch Is 80 much wider and
deeper shan the west half, IL proba-
bly, has more dirt to move than the
other boats have. Electric lights
have just been installed on this
drsdge, which simpli6es the matter
OF working at night.
The surveyors who are mapping
out the route for the main ditch are
now working just north OF this city,
and boarding In town. Their part OF
the work will soon be completed.
The dredge boats are now located
as follows:
The big boat about hall a mile
southeast OF Papinville, one about a
mileesst OF Athol, and the remaining
three near Nyhart, two working on
the main ditch and one ON a lateral.

The Teacher Used a Knifa.

New Haven, Conn June 81 The
commencement exercises at the Ches.
hire school were marred by knowl-
edge of the fact that one oithe fourth
form boys, Tolbert Freeman, oil
Medfleld, Mass, was suffering from
three knife wounds inflicted by T. j.
Edmonds, OF New York, q teacher Of
English and graduate OF Yale last
year.
Some Of the boys tried to haze Mr.
Edmonds and a sharp fight followed,
In which Freeman received bis
wounds. The father oiFreeman said
that no action would be taken what
ever the outcome, as he felt convinc
ed the wounds were accidentally In
tiicted.
