Postmaster Otto K. Benecke
of Brunswick got into trouble
Friday afternoon by assaulting
Clarence Martz, the 11.year. old
son of r. A. Martz of Brunswick,
with a stick. The Martz lad,
with number of 9th or boys,
was peeping through the fence
at the Brunswick and Prairie
Hill game of baseball, and all
the peppers were ordered awsy
by Otto K. Benecke who
was gate. keeper at the ball
grounds. The boys. with the e.
ception of Clarence Martz, obey.
ed orders, but Clarence declined
to travel and as a consequence
came in painful contact with a
stick in Benecke's hands. A
warrant was first sworn out by
r. A. Martz, the boys father,
before Police Judge w. !.
Dye for Benecke's arrest, but it
was afterward determined to
make it q state case, and another
warrant was issued by Justice j.
F. Agee and was served by Con.
stable A. L. Cord. The defend.
ants trial was set for yesterday,
but we had not learned the re-.
suit before going to press.

Prosecuting Attorney j. E.
Montgomery was in Sumner
Monday where he represented
the state in case wherein the
state of Missouri was plaintiff
and VIM. Cain was defendant.
The defendant was charged with
stealing a pig from Geo. w.
Hoxie, and was tried by a jury
in Justice F. M. Lewis court.
The jury failed to agree, stand
ing five for acquittai and one for
conviction. This was the second
trial, the first also t,rmin ating
in a hung jury, five of whom
were for conviction and one for
acquittal. A third trial will take
place next Monday. U. A. House
of Sumner and C. G. Bigger of
Laclede are Mr.. Cain 8 attorneys.
The pig in the case only weighs
about 18 or 20 pounds and is
causing a great deal of trouble
for "his size." His pigship is
now in charge of the constable
of Cunningham township and is
doing his best to keep cool not.
withstanding the beastly hot
weather and the still hotter legal
controversy that is being waged
over his rightful ownership.
