the Cabin TEACHER
ASSAULT CASE

above case will place the matter in
its true light before the public.
On the morning Of Oct. .29th, the
teacher, Mr.. Tanning having dis
missed school at the noon hour,
told Master J. ]. McKenna to re-
main in. locking al the door of the
building. Mr.. Tanning approached
the boy while quietly seated at
his desk, with cleat of an old
desk, about fourteen inches long
and four inches wide (seasoned
wood. The boy thought the
teacher was about to raise a
window near him and support it by
this stick. To his establishment
and surprise. the teacher being
behind him, grabbed him and
struck him three terrific blows
with this cleat on the head, break
ing the stick in splinters and
telling the boy. While on the floor,
the teacher attempted to choke the
boy and, tore a handful. of hair
from his head.
The marks of this choking ap-
peared on the boys neck for five
days, as can s,be easily proven by
independent witnesses. The boy
on reaching home. presented a
pitiable sight. Having related his
brutal treatment. his two half.
brothers naturally went and asked
the teacher his reason for infiictirg
such barbarous punishment worthy
no doubt Of a Bashi Bazouk teacher
in Turkish school
The McKenns boys found Mr..
flaming seated at his desk as they
entered the school and asked for an
explanation. The tea cher replied:
II am master of this school and
it doesn't make any difference tn
you how many marks l put on
him."
Hot words followed and Dan Nc
/ Kenna lifted the teacher to his feet
and the row started. Tanning was
f1oored and on rising received a
few more blows. 1t is untrue to
say he was rendered insensible.
Here Tom McKelna, Junior,
interfered, and stopped the fight
receiving vicious blow for his
pains. Dan McKenna. was arrested
and charged with assault and
battery. The teacher was arrested
on warrant sworn to by the
mother of the boy on a similar
charge.
Mr.. Dan McKenna on the advice
of his lawyer. Attorney CarvilIe,
plead guilty and though q young
man of most exemplary character,
never appearing in a Court OF
Justice before,was mulcted IN a fine
of one hundred dollars, fine con.
sidered by all level-headed citizens
of Carlin as absolutely exorbitant.
Now comes the strange part of
the case. The learned t?) Judge,
who by he way has been relegated
by the vote of the Justice loving
citizens Of Carlin ito stick to his
shoe last" without hearing title
of evidence in the ease against
Tanning, the imported New York
teacher, dismissed it. On what
grounds? Was there ever seer
such travesty Of Jsutice? 1t
would have been legal and within
the Office Of District Attorney
Dysart to ask to have the case
his case, against Teacher Tanning
dismissed, If he thought there was
not sufficient evidence to support
it. But Mr.. Dysart is silent, he
is evidently given no chance to
start his case against Tanning by
this Judge who clearly comes into
Court with his decision cut and dry
before hearing an tote Of the case.
perhaps the learned(?) Judge

was still suffering from the crush
ing defeat he received at the polls
two days before. Truly the did

Rev. DR.. Blayney reviewed the
history of Princeton university and
told why Wilson severed connection
with that institution. He also cited
instances of the good work Wilson
has done as governor of New Jer-

by saying the Democrats had picked
the best man of their party as their
presidential candidate when they
selected Wilson and that the Demo-

year would be a "chump."
Mrs. Ursula Young sang two pat

CALL FARNERs'
{ ATTENTION TO WEED SEED.

The Kansas Flour Mills Co. wants
to call your attention TO the neces-
sity OF seeing to II that the man who
does your threshihg keeps a weed
screen IN his separator and takes
the weed seed out Of the wheat.
There has been so much wheat the
last few years that contained weed
seed that grain Journals and grain
merchants say that n there is not
something done to stop II they will
will be compelled to put in a system
OF dockage similar to what is used
in the northwest.
We do hope that nothing Of that
kind will be attempted. and II the
farmers will use the necessary pre-
caution this talk can be stopped In
a single year, just as the evil OF
allowing so much rye to grow In
wheat was stopped In so short a
time.
It will all depend on yonr ability
to compel your thresher to use pro-
per screens, which. of course. les
sons your threshing cost Just to that
extend OF what he cleans out Of
the wheat.
According to the rulings OF the
attorney general of the state OF
Kansas shipments can be confiscat-
ed where there is mixture Of for
eign matter in the wheat.
1t is to your interest and to our
interest to see to 1t that men who
operate threshing machines take the
weed seed out of the wheat and we
can stop this agitation this year
about using a system of dockage
such as they have in the spring wheat
country. We have understood that
such system is very unsatisfactory
to the farmer.
