on good roads, but the land named,
you unjustifiably took from me, as a
public highway, was no benefit to
the public or to me, but to J. B. Car
penter only. You endeavor in your
article to leave the impression with
the tax payers that / was paid for my
land; you know / was paid nothing
for this or for the 160-rod strip a mile
north and was of no benefit to the
public or to me as public highway.
The truth is, you allowed me no dam
ages nor did you allow me anything
for removing 240 rods of practical
ly new fence. In fact, l did not Eek
pect damages or just remuneration at
your hand so was not disappointed.
No one could expect fair, just, hon.

You were member of the Board in

ten your dirty work. 1t reads as fol-
lows: "Now, therefore; be it known
that the Board of County Commis-
sioners of Trego county, Kansas, will
not allow damages in any case for
roads, unless it is necessary to detour
from the section lines and in cases
satisfactory adjustment will be made
believe that a fair-minded, law-abid-
ing citizen and commissioner would
procure the adoption of such a reSolu-
tion as that? 1t is well known, Mr..
King, how you spent the county's
money in case of this kind, lawing
and fighting Mr.. Cross, and in the
end paid the claim, the costs in the
case and a good sized fee to an attor-
ney to support that rotten resolu-
tiOn.
Mr.. King, you say: Regarding IL
legal practices on roads, there are
none. The commissioners we're never
in the position Mr.. Hutzel claims
they were." Tax payers, you have
read in former article what | said
concerning this matter. [ have not
miSrepreSented any thing; j am not
trying to mislead or deceive you; don't
need to do so; not while there are on
hands so many facts, so much truth.
And l am anxious for Mr.. King or
any other citizen or tax payer to
point out any false statement l have
made, but first be sure that it is
false and do not do like Mr.. King has
done.

tice of any kind was served upon me
and there is no affidavit or evidence
of service on file in the Office of coun-
ty clerk. How do you like the truth,

you all that the same feeling is cher

you all that the same feeling is cher
ished by me toward you.
But it is pleasure for me to know
that / am leaving the business of
Trego county in the hands of two
capable and honorable men, namely:
f. B. Walker and John McNaughton,
who are assisted by one of the most
able and honorable men that ever
filled the office of county clerk. In
our boyhood days / found him to be
an honest and upright gentleman,
possessed of a spirit of progressive
ness not often found in youth. Dur
ing my association with him since he
came to Trego county, and during
the time that l have served on the
Board of Commissioners with him as
Clerk, have found him to be always
the same.
desire also to express my sincere
respect for the ex-member of the
Board of Commissioners of this
county, whom L served with for two
years and can most earnestly say that
my respect for w. E. King is such
that can scarcely formulate words
to convey my thoughts.
AS public servant, the people of
Trego county can scarcely estimate
the worth of Mr.. King. I always
found him standing for that which
was right regardless of f-What the re-
suits might be, the cleanliness and
man as he, is seldom given it's true
value, and only best known and rea-.
liZed by those closely associated with
him. L regret that it is necessary for
me to resign at this time, for there
lationS and associations of the Board
have always been pleasant and 1 shall
always look back on the past two
years with pleasant remembrance al
though some of our experiences have
been unpleasant and knotty, there
was never time that the best judg-
ment was not exercised by all to the
best of our ability.
In conclusion, I must bid our
friend, Mr.. Hutzel, goodbye Well,
Mr. HutZel,t have been living around
this country over 25 years and / have
never known any good to come from
you by way of deed or action but /
am like the Irishman that was kicked
by the jackass. / just consider the
source and let it go.

NAIL SACK STOLEN
Taken From Truck at Depot Tuesday
Night-Slit Sack Found About Nile
East of Ellis

As the night man at the depot was
getting his express and mail ready for
train No. 102 on Tuesday night the
mail pouch containing the letters and
registered mail was stolen.
The train was due in about ten
he did not discover the loss until he
went to load the mail into the mail
car.
The postal authorities and officials
of the railroad were notified and off,
GERS arrived the next day and have
been investigating but we do not
know whether they have discovered
any clues or not.
A young man by the name of
Moore who lives southeast of Ellis
saw the mail pouch laying beside the
road as he came into town WedneS-
day morning and notified the officers
who went out and got it. 1t was
found about mile east of town near
the cemetery. The tie strap had been
cut in two and the mail emptied on
the ground. There were two regis
tered packages in the pouch and these
were the only pieces of mail taken,
the rest of the letters were tied in
bundles just as they left the post
Office the evening before.
One of the registered packages con-
tanned quite large sum of currency
which was being sent by one of the
banks here to a bank in Kansas City:
the other register was smaller pack
age and was of smaller value.

port or not--ElliS Headlight

.PROHIS ARE GETTING In
SHAPE FOR BATTLE
WhiSkGy Fight Promised This
Summer

Atlanta, Ga, May 19.-The an
nouncement made a day or two ago
that the local optionists of the state
were quietly organizing for a cam
paign befofe the coming Legislature
is confirmed by statements from off
GERS Of the Anti-saloon League, who
are at work trying to get funds to
carry on their warfare.
1t is conceded here by all the in
terests that the liquor men will intro
duce a local option bill at the leg.sla-
tive session which opens the latter
part of next month.
The anti-sa'loon people are prepar-
ing to ask the legislature for repeal
of the near-beer law, a bill to regu-
late locker clubs rigidly and change
the word Intoxicating" to alcohol
ic" in the prohibition bill,
The liquor men will take the stand
that the anti-saloon league people, not
satisfied with letting we'll enough alone
want to make the flaw more drastic that
many former prohibitionists are now
changing sides. The anti-prohibition-
lists, therefore, are preparing to make
the fight of their lives in the warfare
that the anti-saloon league is preci-
pita'ing.
The local optionists VIII argue fur
Their that the law as j. now stands is
quite unsatisfactory. The locker clubs
in Atlanta, which have a large mem
bership among the most progressive
and influential business men of the
community, are in some instances, lin
ing up on the local option side.

week.

Will be Mr.. F. G. Oliver division de-

who will be accompanied by Mrs.

Roberts and Miss Roberts.
The party Will leave for Rome either
Monday night or Tuesday, the date Of
departure not having yet ben decided
upon definitely. Elaborate prepare
tons have ben made by the people OF
the Hill City" for the entertainment
of the large number of visitors who
VIII attend the annual session of this
venerable and popular secret order.
1t would be the plan Of the local del
egation to invite the Grand Lodge 20
meet in Americus next were it not for
the fact that to entertain the large
crowd of delegates would tax the hos
pitably little too much of the people
of Americas.
