Edwin London, who came to
this city during the Hump boom
and opened up dry goods store
and later on moved to Seattle
where he established q department
store, has been having troubles Of
his own the past several weeks. 1t
seems he accused young lady Of

through an error. the young lady
took it to London's to effect an ex-
change. The following Clipping
from the Seattle Times tells Of the
outcome of the affair:

please Miss Christiansen and under.
standing her mother to say it had
been purchased at London's she
took it to that store. There, she
said, London and the clerks denied
that it had been purchased in that
establishment. Miss Christensen
said London snatched it from her
shoulders and declared it had been
stolen and that he ought to call the
police. The young lady testified
that she later learned from her
mother that the fur had been bought
at another store. Upon learning
this, she said London gave it back
to her and sngerly told her she
should not have lied about her
name and address. London denied
that he was angry and said he
wished to keep the fur until he
satisfied himself that none of his
clerks had sold it without giving
the company credit. In an inter-
view he said he had made no refer
ence to the police during his talk
to Miss Christiansen. His council

tention TO raise the price, hereafter
the losses and leaks in the way OF

must meet their wholesale bills,
pay their rents, clerk hire,

and city license with cash. These
expenses cannot be met with
promises or long time notes.
With the object Of overcoming
some Of the obstacles, hereafter

VIII Send Children to School

J. w. Crook, Of Kooskia, was
brought before Judge Fulton the
last OF the week to explain why
he did not have his children at.
tend the public schools as the law
compelled. He was little short on
reasonable and lawful excuses and
the court desided b fine OF about
500 would be justice in the mat.
ter and assessed him that amount.
However, upon the promise that
he would see that they attended
hereafter, the fine was suspended.
It's good policy to keep the s'kids'
in school. A man without an ed.
ucation goes into the battle badly
handicapped nowadays.

ANENT TDUDW|LSON
Saloon Keeper Pleads Guilty to
Simple Assault.
HAD ROW WITH CONSTABLE
Court Fines him 500 for the
Little Act

'Dud" Wilson, former
Grangeville saloon keeper who
got in trouble with Q constable
over at Vollmer this spring, was
assessed . fine Of 800 in the Neg
Perce County court last week az
the following clipping from pap
or Of that town indicates:
"In the district court yesterday,
D. B. Wilson Withdrew his former
plea Of not guilty to the charge OF
assaulting Constable Simmons Of
Voilmer with . deadly weapon
and entered . plea Of guilty to
simple assault, when be was fined
u 90 by Judge Steele. The fine
was paid. The change of plea was
consented TO by the state. Mr..
Wilson had been held TO the dis.
trict court on the more serious
charge and whom the change Of plea
was offered yesterday both Atty.
Geo. w. Tannahill and County
Attorney Daniel Needham made .
statement to the court. These
statements show that there were
mitigating circumstances which
clouded in doubt the proposition
- to whether q conviction might
have been secured on the previous
charge. Wilson and Simmons had
become involved in . quarrel at
Vollmer and II was charged Wilson
struck Simmons with revolver.
The evidence Of the defense at the
preliminary examination was that
while Wilson had displayed re-
volver, he used only his hand in
striking the blow"

A WAY TO PAVE THE SQUARE
Mckinney Finds a Way for the Sc.
luton Of This Problem.

Mckinney has found a way of SOL
wing the problem of paving the pub
, lie square of that city, and the work
of putting down vitrified brick is
now in progress. The matter had
been agitated there for a long time
and when the prospects for securing
this much needed improvement
looked rather gloomy the county
commissioners came to the relief of
the project. The commissioners went
to the tax rolls and ascertained the
amount the taxpayers residing inside
the corporation were paying into the
county road and bridge fund. An ap-
preparation covering this amount
was then made by the commission
ers for the purpose of paving the
square. All the other details were
then soon arranged The material
has been purchased and this week
the actual work of putting down the
brick was commenced
Conditions which existed in Nc
Kinney lay be found in every in
corporated town in Texas For sew
eral years past the road and bridge
fund of Ellis county has ranged any
where from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
is estimated that taxpayers living in
side Incorporate limits of this city
pay annually about one-sixth of this
tax, Not one cent of it is expended
inside the city and very little of it
anywhere near the city. The taxable
valuation of property in Waxahachie
amounts to about 100000 annu-
ally Some times the amount is less.
some times greater. The road and
bridge levy for the county this year
is ten cents, five cents less than last
year. The amount thus derived would
make nice start toward paving the
square. This is matter that should
| receive the consideration of every
citizen of Waxahachie
