SHERIFF ARRESTED MARSHAL.
City Official Started Trouble at a Con
cordia Dance.

Concordia, Kan, Nov. 13.-There
was a dance down in the store room
recently occupied by Courville & Com
pany's furniture store. For some rea-
son not yet revealed, Charley Bentley,
city marshal, thought the merry
cancers ought to be dispersed and
sent to their peaceful abodes. He
made no bones about it, and went
there with the intention of starting
something-and he did. He made a
few remarks, right off the reel, as soon
cc he landed on the scene, that were
Lot ladylike, to say the least. He got
into an alteration with John Price
nd he forthwith invited John on the
outside, where they would settle the
controversy, catch weights. catch-as-

On the street they passed few up
percuts, left arm jolts, and straight
arm pokes, until Sheriff Dunnuck and
his deputy, Charley Nelson, inter-
fered and declared it a draw. 1t is
said that the city marshal was mental
v irresponsible for his conduct. He
was arrested the following morning on

Sheriff Dunnuck, and brought into po-
l: ce court on the charge of disturbing
the peace. 1t is said that he was not

o. b. ToWNE TO RETIRE.
VIII Relinquish Editorship of Oberlin
Times December 1.

Oberlin, Kan, Nov. 80. B.
ToWne. who has had the editorial
management of the Times for the last
year, will retire from the paper
December 1. It is understood Lester
Parker will assume the management.
The paper will remain Republican in
politics.
The reason Of this move on the part
of Mr.. Towne is due to the fact that
the climate doesn't agree with the
health of his wife. Under his
editorial management Mr.. Towne has
given Oberlin and Decatur county a
good healthy newspaper. He likes
Kansas. and in all probability will re-
main in the state. He has made a
host of friends since he located in
Oberlin who regret to see him leave.
The Oberlin Times is one of the
of the state. The change will not in
any way effect the general policy of
the paper. The Times is now % years
old, and has at all times boosted for
Oberlin. Decatur county and north
west Kansas.
Mr.. Towne who will retire from the
editorial management of the Times, is
well known in the state, having been
an instructor in Washburn college
from1902 to 1907. Since then he has
been actively engaged in newspaper
work in central Kansas, and for the
last year has published and edited
the Times. Mr.. Towne has also made
good name for himself as cam
paign speaker for both state and ma
tional committees, and at the Kansas
day banquet in January, 1907, he was
one of the speakers.
