Suits for Damage

Elmer Rule brought suit in the
district court on Monday against
Joseph Phillips of this township,

for bodily PAIN and $25o for men
tai anguish.

count of a suit on attachment
brought by the company against
him. He won the'suit inthe district
court and in.the supreme court, land

sistlng the wrongful attachment.

A Fatal Accident

Clyde Campbell, the IA year old
son of John Campbell and wife,
residing between Lake City and
Sun City, was thrown from a
horse and killed last Wednesday
morning.
Clyde and a smaller brother
drove out to the pasture in the
morning to feed the cattle oil cake.
They took saddle horse with them
and at the feeding place Clyde got
on the horse and went to gather up
the cattle, the younger brother re-
naming with the team. After be-
ing out of sight some little time,
the horse was seen going across the
pasture some distance away, by
the smaller boy, without a rider
and upon going into a ravine he
found Clyde lying on the ground
but apparently still living. He
fastened to the house and told his
father of the accident and MIR.
Campbell and one of his men hur.
riedly drove over to the scene only
to find Clyde beyond assistance.
He was breathing his last when
they reached him and lived proba-
bly, only a minute after they came.
An examination of the body re.
vealed that his neck was broken
and that he was also kicked yery
hard in the breast by the horse.
The accident having taken place
IN the ravine, it is not known how
he was thrown. The horse was
not regarded as bad horse.
The funeral was held on Thurs
day. A short service was held at
the residence, but on account of
Mrs. Campbelrs sickness the great
er portion of the services were held
in the M. E. church at Lake CITY.
Rev. Timmons of that city con.
Quoted them. 1t was one of the
largest funerals ever held in that
vicinity. The people of the com
munity came from every home to
otter sympathy to Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell in the sudden and awful
shock which invaded their house
hold.
Clyde Campbell was more than
an average boy. He was very
bright Intellectually, dutiful and
obedient at home and a favorite
among his young friends. He was
a member of the common school
graduating class of 1909 and at.
tended commencement exercises in
this city June I4th. He will be
missed very sadly not only by the
family but by others who knew
and loved him, as we'll.
In a poment of this kind it is
difficult to find words that express
the feelings of the heart. The par
entS and other members of the fam
lily have a grief that is hard to
bear IN this sad ordeal.
The Index sympathizes deeply
with them.

Fine Refused

1t is rare that nan is denied the
privilege of pleading guilty in
court but that IS what happened tc
Mayor Skinner last Wednesday
morning. He went before Police
Judge Kidd and surrendered him
self and entered plea of guilty to
violating the speed ordinance but
Judge Kidd sternly refused to as
sesS fine on the ground that no
complaint had been made.
Mr.. Skinner made a fast drive on
Walnut street in his car Tuesday
evening and a close friend called
him up that night advising him to
beat a complaint to police court,
which the mayor did.
A day later City Attorney Tinch-
er came to his chiefs aid and by
a strong plea persuaded Judge Kidd
to accept nominal fine from the
mayor.
We think this was emlnently
proper. When a mans conscience
hurts he is entitled to relief.
The city attorney says there are
Others to whom invitations are
liable to be issued. 1t is fair to say
IN Mayor SINNERS case, the threat
ening condition of the clouds and
an unqualified command o'hurry, -
given by his better half, were the
elements that caused him to exceed
the speed limit.

The Western States Shows which
held Carnival in this city last week
is good clean company and there
was absolutely nothing objection
able to anything that took place
on the grounds. The leading at
traction, of course, was the merry
go-round and it was patronized, as
the bills stated, by children from
8 to 90, and even at more tender
and more advanced. ages. The
real good entertainments were
given by the moving picture COM
pany. They were excellent.
Travelling companies are more or
less in disrepute but we see no
room to criticise this carnival COM
pany.
Miss Wilhelmine Weber and her
father, sister and father of Mrs.
Emma Rankin of this city, arrived
from Clifton, Indiana, last We'd
nesday to make this city their per-
manent home. Miss Weber has
been employed to teach in the sec.
ond and third grades of our city
schools next term-the room made
vacant by Miss Maude English's
resignation. She has had a great
deal of experience in school work
and comes very highly recommend
ded. The people of Medicine
Lodge are glad for the privilege of
extending a welcome greeting to
Miss Weber and her father.
Barney Bristow who at one time
was one of the very small boys in
Medicine Lodge and left with his
parents before growing much
larger, has recently become stock
holder in the B. & B. Chemical
Company of Denver, Colorado.
The company specializes on prep
aration advertised as "Clean-O-
Spray" and the slogan is, 1t cleans
everything but guilty conscience.
Otto Southworth of this city re-
ceived a very interesting letter
from Barney last week and the
general tone of it indicates that he
is doing exceedingly well. There
is only about years difference in
their ages and in their young boy
hood days they were intimate
"chums.'

The county commissioners met
in adjourned session at the county
clerks Office Monday. The State
Tax Commission, not having pass
ed on any of the matters affecting
this county, there was little bust
ness to do. The only official busi-
ness transacted by the board was
to raise the valuation of the Badger
Lumber Company of this city from
$1,000 to $14,6oo. Manager Ewalt
appealed from the boards decision
and the matter will be disposed of
by the state commission in regular
order.
Sheriff Mathews arrested 7. M.
Billingsly in Pratt county last
Thursday and held him until Mon
day for the sheriff at Holden, Ok
lahoma. Billingsly was wanted
to answer to charge of obtaining
money under false pretense. He
says he is innocent and claims his
arrest is spite work. When Sher.
iff Mathews received the message
to arrest Billingsly he was near
Kiowa, this county, but he could
not locate him before he got into
Pratt county. A deputy sheriff
arrived from Holden and took the
prisoner back Monday and Billings
ly went with the officer without
demanding a requisition and seem
ed confident of establishing his in
nocence. He is man about 90
years of age and has a good ap-
pearance.
According to a recent decision
of the attorney general, brewers
and liquor dealers outside of the
state of Kansas may ship liquor to
Kansas towns and deliver it to
customers. In large cities this
amounts to the same thing as open
saloons. In such cities as Wichita,
Leavenworth, Topeka and Kansas
City, it is stated that beer wagons
will start after July 5th, provided
the Curtis bill now pending in
congress does not pass. which is
not thought likely to pass. This
bill prohibits the shipment of in
toxicating liquor into prohibition
states, but if it fails, under the at
torney generals opinion, beer and
whisky may be delivered from house
to house on customers order.
This is good news to the Boozer
family and it will make the en-
forcement of the law harder.

Association.

~HE senior minister from Hills.
boro rose to his feet. At once
something in his manner held
the regard Of every member
of that large, black coated audience.
He coughed slightly behind his two ex-
tended forefngers. The attention of
every minister was riveted.
Dear brethren''-his voice was low
and purring, yet it carried to the far
thest alcoves-"dear brethren of this
conference Of the Methodist church in
Canada, assembled here in this city.
find it is my painful duty to lay before
you certain matter-a certain matter
regarding my junior colleague, whom
it is your intention to ordain tomor-
row."
The young Rev. Allan Grey, seated
halfway down the aisle, Strengthened
in his pew and waited. ''And, breth-
rem" went on the memorable voice, lit
is only the great love l bear this grand
old Methodist church that compels me
to make mention of this grievous thing
"As you are all aware, young min
lister during the time Of his probation
does not marry. And l am sorry to
say that it is commonly reported at
Hillsboro that my young colleague was
secretly married a short time ago."
The young minister referred to was
about to spring to his feet when an
old clergyman sitting beside him laid
hand firmly but kindly on his Shout
der. Much against his inclinations he
yielded to the look in the older mans
face and remained sitting.
II have expected that the young
man himself would acquaint you with
the fact" continued that even voice,
'but since he still passes himself as
single man duty compels me to speak"
He paused, looking at the reverend
gray haired president
At last, noticing his glance, that gen:
tleman rose hastily to his feet, as
though his mind had been on other
things. He took his glasses from the
front of his coat and polished and ad-
justed them carefully. And what
says the young brother from Hills
boro?" He put the question in an in
dulgent tone.
The young Rev. Allan Grey remain
ed sitting, silent, his face white, his
eyes bent on the seat in front of him.
The audience waited, breathless. An
tncipient cough was strangled in the
gallery.
The shrewd old benevolent face of
the president crinkled into a reminis-
cent smile. "Well. well!'' he chuckled
visibly; then he sobered to kindly
earnestness. ."Now;, brethren. you
have heard. and you are all aware
that at our discretion we may over
look this misdemeanor and still receive
the young brother into the conference.
Since the years of his probation were
so nearly finished l should strongly
advise that we be kindly lenient with
him. Brethren, what say you?"
The senior minister from Hillsboro
was instantly on his feet He held
out long arm. Again the attention
Of every man was riFeted. Brethren,
had hoped to be spared any further
