 District attorney Henry F. Ashurst was up from the county seat Thursday shaking hands with friends and transacting business in connection with his office.
 Mir. F. o. Poison is reported on the sick list this week and was con fined to his bed on Thursday. We hope nothing serious will develop and that he may soon be able to be at his post of duty again.
 Owing to reduction of force at the Santa Fe depot, Mir. P. B. Par sons. night clerk. left Friday for Iowa where he. expects to locate permanently and will engage in the snme capacity with some road there.

 The new school house flag which was ordered some time ago by the school trustees. was received by school clerk Mir. F. w. Smith last week and it is certainly a beauty. The flag measures 8x12 feet and now floats with pride from the top of the school house spire. The pur- chase of this flag was made neces- sary by the worn out condition of the old one. having withstood many hard storms and winds rem dering it almost useless for further service.
 Mir. Wm. Mccoy. of the firm of Grove & Mccoy. was taken to Los Angeles few days ago quite i'll with grip, which had developed into rheumatism upon his depar- ture. We hope the California change will prove beneficial to his present condition and wish for him speedy recovery.

To be sued for $4,000 damages
as the result of her recent search
warrant escapade is now the lot Of
Mrs Mabel Warner, whose melodra-
matte career has attracted much at
tention during the past two years.
Today two damage suits were filed
against Mrs. Warner, her husband,
Sherman Warner, Joe Craddick, the
detective, Earl Reynolds and Fred
Gerberding, who constituted the
searching party that operated in Wes-
ton not long ago. The suits are
brought by Mrs. Nora Watt and Mrs.
caroline Phillips and were filed by
Judge James A. Fee.
The two complaints are identical
and they set forth that without prob
able cause the defendants caused
search warrant to be issued and that
Following the same the ladies were
subjected to a search of their per-
sops' much to their deep indignation,
humiliation, injury and annoyance.
ii is claimed that the search was
inspired with a malicious intent and
for the purpose of causing the plain
tiffs humiliation and that the entire
proceeding was taken without the
defendants having probable cause for
their action.
Mrs. Warner and Craddick are
now charged with the criminal Of
fense of having maliciously secured
