this point has ever come squarely

the last sitting of the circuit
court. The main statement Of
facts was agreed to by both sides.
Judge Fort allowed the oounssl
for both sides to argue the points
of law and cite authorities an en-
tire day. After the argument he
decided that the sale Of the G. o.
D. package took place when the
money was paid over to the sx-

signed did not pass from the con-

his nose; and concluded it was
time to "do something for it," re-

looked around in the pantry aud
found a bottle Of liniment which
he applied twice q day for sew

his nose got no better rapidly,
but instead began to assume gig

consulted his wife about the mat

had been doing for it, and he told
her he had been using that linim-

While working in a field near
his home, five miles south of
Fordland, in Webster county, a
few days ago, Jerome Terrell
found $500 in gold near the

The case of the State of Mis-

News Herald came up for pre-

and from reading of the evidence
as given by the Joplin Globe it
looked like the accused dyna-
miters were conspicuously in
the back ground, while Mr.. Bur-
ton, the editor of the News
Herald, held the center of the
stage. He said that there had
been a deep dyed plot to drive
him out of Joplin and laid all OF
his troubles to Gilbert Barbee,
but he could not prove anything
except that Mr.. Barbee had said
to Mr.. Murphy, the president Of
the News Herald, and Mr.. MUIR

that Mr.. Burton was q menace to
the city of Joplin. 1t was fur

Relying on tae promises of Mr.. Ell
