INJUNCTION STOPS
 SHERIFF'S SALE

Tuscumbia. April s-(Special.)-A pe- culiar situation presented itself in Tus- cumbia Saturday afternoon when Sheriff Leggette engaged in a wholesale auc- tion of whisky and beer on the streets and was rapidly disposing of the liquor to the highest bidder when the auction was stopped by an order from Judge Charles P. Almon of the circuit court
 The liquor had been seized by the sheriff on an attachment issued against Tom Eastman and was ordered sold by a local magistrate to satisfy claims of rent made by the owner of prop erty occupied by Eastman. A lot of the liquor was sold before thesrestrain- ing order of Judge Almon arrived and the matter will probably be taken to the courts, members of the Colbert bar holding that the sheriff had right to sell the liquor despite the statewide laws.

 "rhe college Is seriously in need of more buildings, better buildings and bet ter equipment all around, and I am sure there are few local causes worthier oe aid. The campaign will be carried on this month, during which time subscrip- tionS may be sent to the campaign com mittee, of which pr. Branscomb Is the chairman.
 Pastors of all the various Methodist churches in the conference are actively engaged in the campaign and there can- not be any doubt that the requested fund will be secured"

the gathering of the crop. The com pany intends to get the shipments to the northern markets quicker than from other points, even if the fast limited passenger trains have to be used for the shipments.
 This shipment is the first that has been made from the south to northern mar kets of berries raised without shelter. The climatic conditions and the soil about Cuba are known to be very well adapted for the production of the berries. The fact that Cuba has beaten any other point to the market with strawberries during the past several seasons is very highly appreciated both by the people of that little city and the officials of the Queen and Crescent route.

HELD FOR woNfAN's DEATH.
Liberal Osteopath Said to Have Let
Woman Bleed to Death.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 21-Dr. Eu-
gene PelIette has been bound over by
Justice Woods, at Liberal. for trial in
the district court at Liberal on the
charge of manslaughter in the fourth
degree.
He is charged with causing the
death of Mrs. McNabney, a Liberal
woman. whom he was treating as an
osteopath. and who died following
childbirth.
The case will come to trial next
spring in the Seward county district
court and is likely to attract national
attention, for the trial will really be
a battle, it is expected, by the National
Osteopathic association against the
regular school of doctors, who. 1t is
charged, are instrumental in the prose-
cution of DR.. Pellette.
Physicians and the undertaken all
testified that the woman died from loss
of blood
The osteopathic physicians say the
proceeding is for the purpose of driv-
ing out the practice of osteopathic
treatment, and that the medical asso-
citation of regular school doctors are
behind the prosecution.

DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE.
w. o. Smith, Dead, Cremated snd
Buried, Asks for Horses.


Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 21.-The dead
has come to life. No more should the
crematory hold any terrcys for the llv-
ing; neither should burning strawheaps.
w. o. Smith the farm hand who had
been employed by Joseph Sha1ks, living
near Little River, and who had been
given up as dead and cremated In a hay
stack that burned near Sterling on No
vember %, is sound and we'll He drove
into the barnyard of Mr. Shanks and an
nounced that he had returned to stay.
After Mr.. Shanks had recovered from
his surprise, he ascertained that Smith
had been in Nebraska and that he was
ignorant of the report of his supposed
death
Smith expressed great surprise over tire
fact that anyone should believe him dead
and assured his friends that he never
was in better health
When Smith disappeared he wore a
sweater and other garments similar to
the fragments of those found on the dead
man and this, coupled with the fact that
he had a considerable sum of money
when last seen here, led to the theory
that he had been murdered, robbed and
his body burned for the purpose of de-
stroying traces of his identity
A peculiar happening coincidental with
the return of Smith, that the coro-
ner's Jury had just held adjourned
session and rendered a verdict to the eff
feet that the cremated man came TO his
death from burntfg and that his Identity
was to the Jury unknown.
