before he could interfere. Chapelle,
who was in Kansas City, got wind Of
the scheme, and frustrated it. Last
evening. when the shades of night
were falling, two deputy sheriffs put

Queer Mistake About Decision in the
Pigg Case.

Tom Humphreys. the Republican
candidate for county attorney, didn't
win his supreme court lawsuit after
all.
This disclosure, made today, is one
OF the jokes of the campaign. Evidently
Mr.. Humphrey has been having fun
at the expense of the newspapers and
the public.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Humphreys political adverSaries
charged that he has never handled
any important lawsuits. and was not
qualified to take care of the big cases

tion was working in good shape, the
Associated Press sent out a dispatch
from Washington that the supreme
court of the United States had denied
the petition of the International Text
Book company for a rehearing in the
Bob Pigg case. Pig owed the Inter
national $50 for set of books in a
correspondence course, and refused to
pay on the ground that the company
had no right to do business in Kan
sas because it had no Kansas charter
Humphreys represented Pigg in the
case. and the Associated Press dis
patch indicated that he had won his
case in the highest court in the land.
Mr.. Humphreys at once issued
statement in which he said:

results. He found that some one had
attempted to burn a building owned
by Mrs. Z. Snyder, using regular fire
bug methods without success. There
is no fire department in the village of
Dover, and the building would have
been q total loss, had the incendiary
used more skill and less malice. The
building, which is occupied by lodge
hall above, and a blacksmith shop and
furniture store below. was fixed for
an early morning blowout. pop
bottle full of kerosene was suspended
from the door knob, a pile of trash
stacked around the bottle. and slow
fuse attached-probably for the pur-
pose of making a long run and a good
alibi Alas for the fire-bug, the game
worked properly up-rto tho bottle.
Then the kerosene exploded. and blew
the combustibie material out of sight.
The bottle was too thick. and did not
explode at the right time.
Dover residents are greatly worked
up over the attempt. An attempt was
made last April to burn the same
building. The Doverites are at loss

1t turns out now that the Pigg case

Mr.. Humphreys of course knew that it

he was shrewd enough to lay the re-

newspapers that printed the Associat-

The clerk of the United States SUI
