Ed Jinings, a prominent Sunday
school worker in Topeka and member
of a good family, was fined $40 by Judge
Pollock late Monday afternoon on a
charge of sending obscene letters
through the mail. 1t seems that jim
ings had been worked up to such a fe-
yer heat over the jealousy of his lady
love, coy country girl that he wrote
her very intimate letters-in fact some
of them were threatening in their man
cause and also of relations with him
which would spoil her standing with
Steady No. 2. Judge Pollock decided
that the love lorn Jinings was guilty
without a doubt and the small fine was
imposed.

According to Judge Pollock it isn't as
bad to use water in milk as formalde-
~
dealers who relied upon the windmill
for their large supplies only received
a release of S. from their person last
evening. AS stated in last nights
State Journal the victims using for
|maldehyde were fined $25. The court
realized about $3.50 from the fines.
Considerable time was wasted argu-
ing over the masters report concern
ing the amount of insurance to be al
lowed for the Crawford opera house
fire which occurred in September
three years ago. The insurance men
say that the $4,000 asked for by the
policy holders in the case is out
rageous and they refused to pay for
it. AS result the policy holders
to the circuit court. Suit for a re-
covery of the original amount was
asked for. Nothing has been done
but listen to argume nts-the case will
De continue
One of the few criminal cases to
be taken up by the district court and
tried will be found wanting. George
Bruce concerned in case No. 1916,
who was scheduled to fight the United
States for robbing postoffice, is a
happy man today. The case against
him was dismissed on account of the
non-appearance of the only witness
subpoenaed. The witness left the
state.
