While Playing Basket Ball.

A serious accident occurred on the
school grounds Thursday of last
week when Guy Patterson, a seventh
grade boy, received a broken arm
while playing basket ball. Young
Patterson was trying to intercept a
bali that was being passed from one
player to another of the opposing
team, when he fell upon his arm
breaking it near the wrist. He was
immediately taken to DR.. Arceneaux,
who reduced the fractured member.
We are glad to be able to note that
he is able to attend school this week,
although he is not, taking part in
anymore basket ball games at pres
ent.

Justices Court.

Judge Russel's court was the scene
OF more than usual interest Monday
afternoon, when, for a time, eases
came in so rapidly before His Honor
as to make the average briefleSs law
yer green with envy, could he have
seen it.
The first case was that OF Mr.. Merit
Morrill,, charged by Marshall Andrew
Louviere, Of interfering with the mar.
shall in making an arrest. Mr.. Nor
riIl plead mot guilty." while from
the evidence submitted, the judge
found him guilty and bound him over
on an appearance bond OF $4,000.
Mr.. r. NJ. Gray was the next to ap'
pear before His Honor, charged by
John Wausman with striking one
Ezeb Louviere on the head with a
Winchester shot gun. Mr.. Gray ad-
mitted that he struck Mr.. Louviere, as
charged, but furnished evidence to
show that he was acting as deputy
marshall at the time and was also
acting in self defense. The case
against him was dismissed by the
court. Mr.. Gray Immediately swore
out warrant for the arrest OF Mr..
Wausmap, charging him with inter
fering with the making Of an arrest,
and upon the taking of the evidence,
he was bound over to the district
court under an appearance bond OF
$4,000.
These cases all grew out of some
difficulties that occurred on the street
Saturday night, when, as near as we
can learn. there was too much OF

Mayor A. Y. Jones sustained quite
a serious loss Saturday mOrling by
having q valuable mich COW shot and
killed. The COW was in the pasture
lust east Of Mr.. Jones house, having
been turned out in the morning, after
having been MIXED. About 10 O'Clock
in the morning some Of the neighbors
in passing, noticed that she was dead
Mr.. Jones was informed, and upon
investigation found that she had been
shot in the head by shot gun with
about number four shot. Mr.. Jones
does not know whether to attribute
his loss to carelessness on the part OF
amature hunters, or to the wllfuI
destruction of property.

The Lawrence, Kansas. Daily Gaz
cite conveys the information that an
egg buyer of Emporia, Kansas has
lust been fined $lO0G0 and cost for
selling ancient eggs. Now what do
YOU think of that? The man who has
eggs of any kind to sell in Welsh is
the ladies favorite and is claSSed
among the great benefactors OF his
country. We douht if William Allen
White of the Emporia, Gazette is as
patriotic on the egg question as jim
Craig of Ravne, else this would never

the erection of two story dwelling,

Disastrous COnflagration Narrowl,
Ayerted,

What might have been the most
disastrous fire that Welsh has ever
experienced was narrowly averted
Thursday evening. but the COO! head.
edness and courage of two young
boys. About 8 30 in the evening, a
fire was discovered in Desire Heberts
barber shop, located in the rear of
the Welsh Furniture Store. Harry
Hutchins and Clay Robcheaux, who
we're in the hamburger stand across
the street, and discovered that the lamp
which Mr.. Hebert, supposed he had px.
tIngnished upon leaving his shop
nearly an hour previous, had explod-
ed, and the flames from the burning
oil were reaching upward nearly to
the ceiling. After trying the door
and finding that they could not gain
entrance there the boys broke through
& large rear window, Harry going in
and Selling the burning lamp carried
it to the window where it was quickly
transferred to the street. BY the time
a crowd had begun gathering, the
boys had whipped out the remaining
fire that was occasioned by the burn
ing oil. The property damage was
but slight, but had the fire occurred a
little later the probability is that the
whole of the business section of the
city would have been in ashes before
morning. Young Hutchins, who was
slightly burned upon the hands by
the burning oil was presented with
five dollar bill, by Mr.. Miller, the
owner of the building. While the
other boy doubtless was as deserving,
yet be received no reward, and was
even refused a free hair cut by the
barber in whose shop the fire occurred.
