simple nature, only the relatives

Cases Against Eugene Randall and
John Jaeger Dismissed
Evidence costs Put On
The County

On Feb. 9th, Saturday night,
John Neuhouse. Who lives near AL
pha, on section l&-l377-1O4, was rob-
bed by unknown parties of about
SlGo. The robbery took place at
about II o'clock in the evening.
MIR. Neuhousc and his mother, who
lives with him, had retired, when
two masked mon entered the house.
They went into tie bedroom, held
up the occupants at the point of re-
voivers. went through the mans
pants, secured tho keys to a trunk
which contained SiC0 in currency
which they took together with what
change there was in the mans
pockets, and departed.
On the complaint Of Mr.. Neu-
house the states; attorney caused
the arrest of Eugene Randall and
John Jaeger, last Saturday and
their hearing took place yesterday
before Judge Heath, which resulted
in the two young men being dis
charged for lack of evidence.
Just why the states attorney had
these two men arrested is I, greater
mystery than the robbery itself.
1t is only another of his many
blunders which only result in put
ting a lot of costs on the county
unnecessarily. Mr.. Keohane had
no evidence against the young men
whatever, except that the COM
planning witness thought the rob-
bers' voices sounded like The voices
of the parties arrested and that
they were about the same size.
This is all the evidence the states
attorney had, while ca the other
hand the frs. named defendant
proved an absolute aiiloi by three
witnesses and had seven if neces-
sary, to prove that he was at an
other place a. the time Of the rob-
berry. After failing to make case
against M. Randall, whom the
justice discharged. and receiving
severe criticism Vi the defending
attorney for such "Eorse play
against innocent parties, Mr.. Keo-
hane moved to dismiss the other
defendant, admitting that he had
no case against him.
Mr.. keohane has never made
success of Il criminal case since
he has been states attorney, and
if he keeps on putting the county
to unnecessary expense, it will he
up to the county commissioners to
appoint him guardian to look
after his official acts, and to ap-
prove all county cases before action
is instituted. ii would be a big
saving to the county.
No clue as 10 who the guilty
parties are can be found, but it is
hoped that they may be apprchcnd-
ed and severely punished.

saw anything SO awful as the look in
that pixies eyes as it hung there.
Already Uncle Ashdod's boots were
slashed to strips and every blow of
the pixies tail cutting him to the bone,
while he hadn't seemed to make any
impression on the tail of the pike, and
he was giving himself up for lost.
He didn't have a knife or any sort of
weapon to aid him. And then, as a
sort of last resort, he took one hand
from the limb and tickled the pike In
the ribs.
Uncle Ashdod says he had never
heard that pixies were ticklish, but he
had never heard that they were not,
either, and when man is on the
verge of death he will try anything as
q last resort, so he thought he might
as well try tickling the pike as any
thing else.
Well, at first the pike seemed more
amused than anything else. 1t sort of
screwed up the corners of its mouth
and grinned, but in minute or two it
began to chuckle tnwardly. So Uncle
Ashdod kept right on tickling it. He
says it was the most weird thing he
ever saw in his life, to see that pike
chuckling away as If it was in the
best humor and at the same time
glaring at him hatefully with its eyes.
So he tickled 1t little harder and It
began to gasp between it's teeth but
it did not loosen its hold on his
beard in the least. So he tickled it
a little harder and said: "Ketchy-
ketchy-ketchy." Well, that was too
much for that pike. Its sides began
to heave and palpitate with laughter,
and its tail curled up and it tried to
throw its head back the way man
does when he hears an awfully good
one and is going to give a mighty
hearty laugh, and 1t began to gasp.
When that happened Uncle Ashdod
says he began to have hope. and he
pulled his finger back and sort Of
cork-screwed it toward the pike and
said:
Creepy mouse. creepy mouse.
tickely. tickely. tickely!"
At the last "tickely" he says he
dug his finger into the ribs of the
pike, and the pike seemed to simply
double all up with laughter and sud
denly 1t opened its mouth and shout
ed: "Ha! Ha! Hal" and turned blue
in the face and fell spang to tho
ground as dead as door-nail
Uncle Ashford says that of course
he hated to take life in that way, but
he was sort of forced to do it in
self-defense. asked him what he
really thought of the fight and he said
he was still too wrought up to say.
l asked him what he thought the pike
thought of a fight Of that kind, and
he said he guessed the pike liked
1t; he said the pike seemed tickled
to death

Secretary Gordon accepted re-elec-

Near by, in a big glass frame, lies the

An especially interesting feature of
the exercises was sham battle

fence shot down Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
Jamison, the father and mother of his
former wife, in cold blood.
Then he fired at her and missed. AS
she halted and begged for mercy, he
granted her request, and hitching up
team belonging to the dead Jamison
put his wife and baby in the buggy
and started on an all-night drive.
Probably he intended to kill them both
and then escape, but her pleadinps
were too much for even his blood
thirsty heart. for after driving until
late into the night he left her al the
home of friend, gave ner $40 for the
baby, and departed.
