WILL GET A new TRIAL
PAULSON CASE COMES BACK
FOR A NEW TRIAL.
EVIDENCE WAS insufficient
Supreme Court Holds That the
Evidence Against Paulson was
Insult cient to Justify the
Verdict and Return the
Case to the Circuit Court
for a New Trial.

About a year ago this county was
thrown into a state of considerable
excitement by the trial and conviction
of A. G. Paulson, who had been the
deputy county treasurer under l.. l..
Butler for two years. The monies in a
certain fund sent here by the state had
never been turned rel and Paulson
was accused, tried and convicted of the
theft and sentenced to one year in the
~penitentiary.
Mr., Paulson stoutly protested his
innocence, and his friends, after hear
ing the evidence, were also convinced
that'he was not guilty, and an appeal
bond was given and Attorneys Sears q
Potter took the case before the supreme
court upon the grounds that the evil
dence was not sufficient to convict.
The decision of the supreme court,
which was announced yesterday, may
be a surprise to the jurors in the case,
but nearly all of those who were pres
ent at the trial were unable to under
stand how a verdict was rendered
against Paulson in the first place.
Our friendship for MIR. Paulson is
well known, and we certainly take
great pleasure in congratulating him
upon the decision Of the court.

1t looks very much as though Wau-
bay might soon be supplied with cleo
trio lights. Wednesday Messrs. Boyle
and Weller, Of Webster, were in town
and consulted with our trustees regard
ing the matter of obtaining a franchise
for the building of a plant here. A
general idea of their plans was given
verbally to the board, and it was
arranged that they were to appear at
the next meeting Of the Commercial
Club prepared to give full detail in the
way of written specifications, etc.
Waubay now has a population Of
between eight and nine hundred, and
we do not know why she cannot support
a good plant. We hope that satisfac-
tory arrangements will be made with
these gentlemen so that they will come
here and give Us a long felt want.

A Bad Smashup

While driving to town last Monday,
Henry Thesis had a close call from
what might have been a serious acct
dent. He vas a short distance west of
his fathers place when the bolster to
his sleigh slipped off, allowing the box
to fall 70 the ground, at the same time
throwing him into a fence alongside of
the road. AS it happened he struck
luckily, the wire catching him across
his back. and in this position, he was
dragged until the team was stopped.
His sheep lined coat was torn clear
through, as was his vest underneath.
But aside from this and a bruised body,
he escaped without injury.-Waubay

tai association. Rev. Carl Knoll, pres
ant president of the hospital associa-
ton, and DR.. Herman Dreschler, sup
erintendent of the hospital, assert that
a total of SIS, 900 is missing.
Rev. Lebahn's home had been watched
for several days, but when the officers
were given a warrant to serve they
could not find him in the house or any
where in the vicinity. He was finally
located in a distant part Of the city and
was Immediately arrested. The hos
pital authorities state that Lebahn
admitted his shortage to them a couple
of weeks ago, and promised to make
it up, but he failed to do so, and when
they learned that he was making prep
arations to leave the city they decided
to turn the matter over to the police.
Lebahn denies the shortage and says
be will fight the case vigorously, but
The evidence against him appears
pretty strong.
