Phelps Verdict
to Be Cut Down
Judge Sears Reduces Judgment from
$16,666 to $10,000-Bergers
Says He Will Appeal.

Reduction Of the verdict of S1e,e66 to SO,
900 in the case Of Frank N. Phelps against
j. w. Bergers for alienation OF a wife's af-
fections, failed to satisfy BerRers when
Judge Sears made tho order in district
court Saturday, and Bergers gave notice OF
appeal to the supreme court In reducing
the verdict Judge Sears criticized Phelps
for his attitude toward his wife during The
months that preceded the beginning Of his
suits against her for divorce and against
Bergers for damages.
In the circumstances" said the court,
ut appears to me that the verdict is ex-
cessive There can be no doubt that the
plaintiff has suffered and therefore there
can be no question but that he is entitled
to recover; but it appears that the plain
tiff did not act as he should have acted
when be became suspicious OF his wife and
the defendant. She was a young woman,
fun Of sentiment 1t appears that when he
became suspicious and set about to over
hear conversations that would confirm his
fears and heard them there was no word
Of caution or advice given the woman.
There we're no steps taken to protect her or
the home from the danger that threatened
There was no word OF warning given the
wife nor the other"
Bergers was siven twenty days TO perfect
his appeal to the supreme court.

Res ent Dupliclty
Probing Into His Methods DisolOses
How He Deceived Candidates
at Primary.

BRADSHAW, Neb.. oct S-Cspecisl.)-
Many friends Of c. A. Gilbert recent DEM
ooraho candidate for nomination Of con-
gresham. feel like resenung the action OF
B #. Good, who took advantage not only
Of Mr.. Gilbert but also Candidates Bailey.
Mains and Miller. II seems that there was
a sort OF gentlenen's agreement between
Good and one or two OF the candidates,
and according 20 a statement OF a well
known and prominent democrat Good led
tho other candidates on the democratic
ticket TO believe that he would not make a
canvass, but would let the democrats OF
this district exercise their rights and
preference. The democrats not only In
York. but throughout the district, who
learned Of this implied agreement sup
pored that Good would this time stay good.
1t was the same old story Of the many
political turns and schemes played by Good
In years past Now a number Of demo-
Gratis have expressed themselves that Coed
took undue advantage Of the other candi-
dates when just few days before the
primary he made whirlwind still hunt
campaign for the nomination, thereby TAX
ing advantage Of the other candidates.
A prominent minister OF York, speaking
Of Judge Goods candidacy for Judge Of the
district court In this district, when he was
running against F. G. Power Of York, said:
The members OF the ministerial temper
ance organization Of this district whose
officers principally i've at York, will not
again become the dupes Of this man Good.
In that campaign Good managed to get the
endorsement Of the Ministerial Temperance
lecgue and at the same time he played fast
and loose with the saloonmen. and not
only was endorsed by the saloon element,
but displayed in temperance localities the
letter of endorsement from the Temperance
Ministerial league, signed by one or more
officers, ministers living here in York, The
temperance workers o. York county have
become wise and when Mr.. Good comes
around with that I am Good calling at
tenuon to his record in calling the grand
jury at York which investigated and found
indictments against q few who sold liquor,
the temperance people know of the asso-
citation of Good with the liquor element"
In this district Good has been able in
each campaign for district judge to work
both temperance and liquor elements, but
from now on the voters are wise, and while
he has been able to get the good will of
both elements, something at this election
will make Mr. Good understand that the
people may be fooled onoe or twice but
no. all the time
The republicans say that II IL not neoes-
sary to investigate Goods political methods
because so many Of his former friends will

ANOTHER MAN GONE WRONG

r. c. Pollock of the firm of Pol
lock & Hamiin, who recently opened
a cleaning and pressing parlor in the
Boyle building. has apparently joined
the ranks of those who get all they
can and keep all they get.
Pollock came to town about a
month ago, and being good looking
and genial and what our Hebrew fri
ends would term well spoken he
formed many pleasant acquaintance
in a short time, and went into bust
ness with his friend Mr.. Hamlin, who
furnished most of the working capital
on which they commenced. They both
had access to the bank book for bust
ness expenses and at first things all
went well, but it appears that Pollock
went in debt for everything he could
and kept placing coins down in the
deepest recesses of his trousers. He
bought clothing on time, borrowed
money from good fellows about town,
went in debt for meal tickets and 9TH
er things. and frequently borrowed
wearing apparel from Hamlin.
Thursday, the 9th. he went to Po-
SoeSlio, email oNSl vi an vi
the bank, telephoned Hamlin to fix
it and that he would be up the next
day, drew other checks and cashed
them. went on to Salt Lake City
wearing Hamlin's fine summer over
coat, drew another check for $40
which he cashed at the Kenyon hotel
and two other ones for $40 a piece
that he had cashed at different places
in Salt Lake City and at present is
out of sight.
1t appears that he worked every
body he could before leaving here,
and if you are not on the list it
proves that you were not easy or
that he did not happen to think of
any scheme by which he could touch
you.
His parents live at Bradford, Penn
sylvania, and he had been trying to
get dad to send him some money
but failed. His kilograms fit so per-
fectly the story that has been going
the rounds about some other fellow
that we repeat it here. He framed
his request in verse and sent it by
wire as follows.
blue,
Please send me fifty, just wire it
through.
But the old man was something of
a poet himself, and he responded:
Some skies are blue and some are
pink,
= send you fifty, don't think.
Mr.. Hamlin is still conducting bus
mess at the same stand, is honoring
all proper bills due from the firm
of Pollock & Hamlin. and is looking
for man to go to work for him on
a salary. Hamlin is sorry to have
been "stung' and sorry to have been
associated with anyone who stung
others about town. but until Pollock
is found and brought back to face
the charges there is nothing stirring.

Taylor street machine that will be
greatly appreciated by gasoline users,
especially automobile owners and peo-
pie using gasoline for fuel purposes.
The machine automatically draws the
gasoline from an underground tank,
measures, and filters it before deliver

the purchaser to secure gasoline that
is entirely free from water or other
impurities. The machine has two
two faucets, one for filling cans and
one that is equipped with a hose that
can be attached to automobile tanks
outside the warehouse, thus elminat-
ing any loss by spilling or overflow
ing the tank. The machine represents
an investment of $3.50 but it's value
to gasoline users can hardly be esti-
mated in dollars and cents.

suited in failure that affects all the
interests of the valley directly or in

of a permanent committee to consist
of both farmers and dealers, whose
work it should be to gather informa-
ton and make recommendation for
plans by which farmers may be
brought to producing more uni
form potato, and by which dealers
and producers can cooperate on
more friendly and mutually advantag-
eous basis for marketing the crops
and holding their place in the mar
ket.
A committee of five was appointed,
consisting of Byrd Trego, of Black
