today on the alleged ground of pre-
Judice by a juror. shown during the
trial He was charged with killing
John Titus and came UP for sentence
this morning
Your honor" said Curtin. Il demand
a new trial The trial I had was not
fair. for Juror Moulthrop was pre-
judiced against me. 1 heard him say
Il am against ANY man who smokes
cigarettes. Whenever I see a man
smoking cigarettes I feel like strik-
ing them from his teeth Your honor
was standing close beside Moulthrop
when he said that and I was smoking
a cigarette. He was surely prejudiced
against me-"

passed restricting the refiliing of ply

Our pure drug laws should not sbe
administered by the state board Of
health. but by the state board of phar

The dance given Tuesday even
ing by the Washburn Jr. Band
was decided success in every
sense of the word. There was Il
good crowd in attendance both
from town and Underwood. The
boys had decorated the hall very
prettily with green twigs and ever
green's making it look like bowe-
ry. They had worked hard all
week selling tickets and the money
over their expenses will be spent
for uniforms. The members of
the band are progressing rapidly
in their music as was shown by
the open air concert given before
the dance. It is hoped that their
interest in the band will not lag on
account of the departure of Mr..
Landdeck, their director, who has
done SO much for them.
