The BOEHSTLER IDEA

The Boerstler idea is not a scien-.
tific evolution but rather a means
of solving the chicken problem in
Chanute. B. f. Boer'tler, residing
at 1913 South Central avenue, has
plead guilty to the murder of two
chickens. He furthermore states
that it S not his first offense in this
line. He has confessed all to the
police and is waiting for the owners
of the deceased fowls to swear out
a complaint and then ne in tuIn will
arrest the owners of the fowls.
Mr.. Boerstler resided on farm 'fp1
forty years before coming to { 4.e
ute and he insists that if the pos, c
are unable to stop the lndlscrinjt a'e
meanderings of chickens over Inc
adjoining lots and premises of a.. il
owners that he will do what he an
in a small way to relieve the sl.pA
ton. The slaughter took place al
1906 north Santa Fc avenue, wuerc
he owns rental property and on
which place he has been trying to
get start of grass which be claims
has been retarded bI the transsres
slons Of wayv'a d fowls. Wnen the
Boerstler idea becomes generally
known it is more than likely that its
inventor will be greatly IN demand
all over town.

TO FlCRT Road TAX

\ notice distributed during the
past two weeks over the city, under
the direction Of Street Commission
er reads something ike the follow
ing; You are hereby notified that
your Road Tax Of So. 90 for the year
1911 is past due and must be paid
at the City Clerks Office and unless
said tax is paid a complaint will be
filed against, you in police todrt. "
The notice or rather the effect of the
notice came to, a head Monday night
in Labor Hall when a mass meeting
of laboring men from all parts of
the city was held. The hail was
loade% to the gunwaleS with stand
ing room at u premium. The meet
was solidIy united on the PROPOSE
ton to fight the road tax Law to the
limit and a committee was appointed
composed of Chairman Boyse,
Reese and Egan, to secure counsel,
or at least determine the expense
necessary to secure sufficient legal
talent to carry the case to salts
factory termination. George Harp
was made chairman Of the meeting
Monday night and W. J. arling was
made secretary. A meeting was
called for next Monday night when
in all probability a permanent Or
ganization will be effected.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the fifty cent Zee be collected
from as many as cared to contribute
for the purpose of securing counsel
and that the very first case brought
into court be made a test case
whether the defendant he White,
black, green or yellow over a
hundred names were signed Monday
night, each agreeing to contribute
fifty cents. 1t is expected that the
fund will reach a hundto1 dollars
within a few days

the Road Tax law in seve-7l munic-
ipalities throughout the eastern part
of the state.

ANOTHER PEPPER

Another Jack the pepper made
his appearance Friday night at ten

frightened the lady of the house by
peeping in at the bath room window.
The matter was telephoned to the

that she would be given permission
to shoot the intruder in the lower

AIRED IN COURT

The case of A. E. Jones and Mrs.
MARITIME residing in the ten hundred
block an North Lincoln, and their
families and friends aired their
grievance Monday morning in police
court. A. E. Jones, who has been
resident of Chanute since 1871,
on Saturday afternoon Swore out a
complaint charging Mrs. Martinez
his next door neighbor with dis
turbance.
The disturbance charge was that
the Mexican woman had hit his
twenty months old son in the head
with clod, rendering him uncon7
scious. The evidence showed that
it was a common accurranCe to toss
whiskey bottles, tin cans and brick
bats across the fence at each other
in the ten hundred block. The evi-
dence was so conflicting that city
attorney Evans threw up his hands
and begged Judge Wilfong to un-
ravel it if he could. The chic
witness, little girl twelve years ole
cried so loudly that the attorney
could hardly be heard, while Mrs.
Jones could not wait to tell her side
of the controversy, and kept speak
ing up in meeting until she was re
primanded. The mexican woman
was represented by colored man,
her next door neighbor who was her
interpreter, and who was also a wit
ness for the defense. Judge Wilfong
assessed the cost, two and half up
to the defendant and told her that if
she was arrested again he would
collect the ten dollars.
