Alfalfa Mill at Lake City

The alfalfa mill at Lake CITY is now
assured and work is in rapid progress
The people who are behind this enter
prise met with many obstacles but they
surmounted them and are to be compE-
mented.
Lake City is an ideal place for a mill.
1t is In fine alfalfa and stock country
and will do well.
One Of the first men to take hold Of
the proposition was Dave Freemyer Of
the Lake State Bank and he was one
of the few who kept working when 9TH
ers gave up. 1t is certainly a source Of
satisfaction to him to know that his time,
energy and labors have been rewarded
There is this to say about the business
pushers Of Lake-they never surrender
but always do things.

Hdzeiton Items.

Since that big rain last week we have
almost forgotten about the long dr., spell.
We understand that L. P. Graves has
resigned as member Of the school
board. Here is a chance for some fel-
low to gel glory without salary.
Lee Robinson got his arm bro ken a
few days ago; then he, was pretty badly
bitten by dog and just to keep things
moving he next sprained one Of his ankles.
All this happened within about week.
Mrs. w. H. Robinson was pretty
badly burned Saturday while working
with gasoline stove. The burns are
not thought to be serious. Her face
was scorched and her eyebrows burned
off. She had very narrow escape.
L. M. Lambeth drove his machine
to Kiowa one day last week and it went
along just like it was broke double and
single until returning home in crossing
the river bridge. The "critter' SHE'D at
crack in the bridge and wouldn't move
a peg. Dale Rugg finally hitched onto
it and dragged it over the crack. L. M.
is sure getting the worth of his money
out Of that machine.
We learn that some Of our people are
disposed to blame the county attorney
for the dismissal Of the Anderson case.
To Put them right and let the blame rest
where it should we want to say that we
did it on our own motion without asking
the consent Of any man. We told the
county attorney after the trial that if it
was hung jury we would dismiss the
case. So you can jump onto the court
and not the county attorney.
After the fifth attempt to try the An
derson case it was finally disposed Of last
week. MIR. Anderson was charged with
killing and selling for food an animal hav-
ing big jaw. A jury composed of ten
men heard the trial and after due de-
liberation three Of them could not make
up their minds that MIR. Anderson was
guilty and it was hung jury. The case
was dismissed by the court and we want
to make few remarks on the subject.
Without saying as to whether MIR. An
derson is guilty or not,we betray no secret
in saying that had the whole community
been summoned and sat as jurors in the
case the per cent in favor Of not guilty
would not have been perhaps as great as
was the jury that tried the case. 1t may
be presumed by some that the case was
dismissed on account Of sympathy for
the defendant, but we want to disabuse
your minds Of this presumption, for while
we have no personal prejudice against
MIR. Anderson we have an abiding and
Interchangeable prejudice against any man
who will kill and sell to the people an
animal that would create the least sus-
picion.He should be prosecuted to the full
extent Of the law. The only reason this
case was dismissed is the fact that MIR.
Anderson has paid dearly already and
no doubt has sufficient experince along
this line Of the meat business that will
cause him to be more careful. Mr..
Anderson has no one to blame but HIM
self. He was not forced to take any
such chances for there are certainly plenty
Of good cattle around here for butcherng
purposes without taking any chances.
We trust that this trial will be sufficient
warning to others that our people want
their food as pure as possible.
