her because she is a southern woman.
Mrs. Webb's defense is that she did
not know the check was worthless.

Webb. it is alleged drew a check for
$50, testified that Mrs. Webb had no

county, city or other municipality,
shall be paid any witness fees in any
court within their Jurisdiction
The policemen objected to this al
legged law, and were told by legal au-
thority that it was no good So the
police officers claimed their fees in
district court as usual, and then drew
lots to see who should make a test
case. The lot fell to Judkins, who, al
though he left the city service for a
better position. did not fail in his
agreement. BY his attorney he
brought suit in two test cases. one for
IS cents a witness fee in the case of
the state against E. c. Oliver, a crimi-
nal case tried in the court of Topeka,
and another suit against the city for a
witness fee of $50 in the appealed
case of the city of Topeka against Sim
Watts, charged with selling liquor.
1t has been agreed that these two
little cases will be driven to a climax,
for the possible benefit of several city
policemen. many of whom hold larger
witness claims than does Judkins. the
plaintiff. All claims, should the officers
win will go back to May p. 1907
when the act of legislature became eff
fective.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Three Of the Chi

Zimmerman, Ed Reulbach and Johnny
Evers, are among the 300 hitters in the
batting averages of the league the past

this week. Their work with the bat
this season has astonished the fans,
particularly that of Evers. who has
been meeting the ball with great sue
cess. He has surpassed his average of
last year so far that one would be in
clined to think he was an entirely new
player. His average at this time last
season was .241 and now it Is .305. The
same stands for the pitcher, who had a
mark of .140 in 1907 and now is credited
with 1908. Reulbach Just increased his
average recently, as he has made seven
