May Drop Case Here.
Bimboo engaged lawyers and, foi-
lowing his arraignment in Justice
EPeek's court, where he pleaded not
guilty, change of venue was taken
Ito Justice Millard's court. NO ar
rangements had been made UP to noon
TO hear the case. and it is likely that

RAccording to the girl the last ohehse
under the charge was committed eight
pr ten miles south of Eldora. Which
would bring the case under the jurls-
diction OF Hardin county. A charge OF
kidnapping will not hold because that
