and there are also whole communities
that are freaky. When a settlement
was finally effected with the CT editors
Maben looked the accounts all
over and denied only a few items that
were on the bills. He had certainly
been doing a big credit business at
that town. The settlement had an
agreement with County Attorney
Purcell, and Squire Cook that
Maben should be fined in the sum of
one dollar and costs. When all was
agreed, Claud Hardman, who repre-
sented the creditors, had Deputy
Sheriff Williams call over the phone
for Purcell and the Squire to come.
Soon they were all assembled in the
sheriff's office, the place where both
the justices of that city hold court.
Court was called in due form and
Maben was asked to plead, whereupon
Young entered a plea of guilty for
him, and the Squire read him lee
ture that was good all the way
through, and closed by tining him
dollar and costs. Snyder was soon
ready with his auto and they all ar
that night. There was still another
matter to adjust and that was that
the real name of Maben was, instead
of being Chas. ]. Maben, it was Geo.
H. Brown. His father was Geo. w.
Brown. a well-to-do citizen of Snyder,
Texas. When Brown arrived here he
felt very embarrassed over the situa-
tion he was in and met as few people
as possible, and made as little noise
as possible till he could get matters
adjusted. He never made a false pre-
tence to anyone, but he did not adj
vertise himself or his mission. He
said he wanted to take his son home
with him and give him a chance to
settle down and be the man he had
tried to make of him. He had never
been able to tell why it was that this
one of three sons that he had was the
disposition that he was. But he took
the true fatherly view of things and
said, sin spite of all the wrong the
boy has done, he is my son and l am
his father" Mr.. Brown spent good
many hours about this office last week
and we had some long visits with him,
and seldom have we ever met man
of more admirable characteristics
than he possessed. A fine looking fell
low, well educated, well posted on all
matters pertaining to both public

THE MABEN CASE


1t will be remembered that on the
22nd of January, Deputy Sheriff
Warren Williams, of Trego county,
came here and got Chas. Maben, who
had been arrested by Sheriff Gillian
on a telegram sent here by Williams.
Maben was charged with fraudulent
ly contracting a board bill at that
place, and going away between two
days without making settlement. He
was taken to Wa-Keeney and there
lodged in Jail. He was without means
with which to pay his debts, and
there was nothing to do but to apply
to his father at Snyder, Texas, for the
necessary funds to redeem the body of
the young man from the clutches of
the law. The Justices court at Wa
Keeney is presided over by one O. l..
Cook, formerly of Stockton. Many of
the older settlers here will remember
him. Cook now runs livery barn in
WaKeeney, and is doing veterinary
work all over Trego county; when he
was first elected it wasn't thought
he knew much law, but it is said
that when he tries case he puts on
a boiled shirt and presides with con-
siderable dignity. Nothing could be
done here till the Ready John Davis
could be secured from the parent at
Snyder, Texas. On Sunday, February
4th, when the father arrived here, he
employed F. E. Young to look after
the matter. On Monday, Young was
driven to Wa-Keeney by Geo. Wright
and an attempt at settlement of the
criminal action was made, and agree
ment about reached, when it was
learned that another hotel there had
claim against him also. and
if he was released on the charge
then against him, he would be arrest
ed before they could get him out of
town, so that the settlement in that
way had to be given up, and they re-
turned to Stockton, having learned
that the Indebtedness that the young
man had incurred was heavy, and
that a number of bills would have to
be paid before the matter could be
adjusted. Then the father had to tele-
graph to Texas for more money and
this required more time. But the
money got here and on Thursday
morning Young started again for Wa
Keeney, being carried by H. F. Sny-
der's auto. They arrived in WaKeeney
at noon, and went Immediately at
the work of settlement. BY four
o'lock. settlement of accounts ag
regating $685. II was made and the ac-
counts were settled on the basis of
forty per cent of their face. 1t seems
strange that community like Wa
Keeney would let fellow like Maben
go into debt to that amount and
have no security at all. There are men
here and probably there are in that
town, who have plenty of property
and are considered reliable, who
could not run such a lot of bills as
that. There are men who are freaky

He said his desire was to take his
son and his sons wife back to Texas
and see if there was enough left of
the boy to to make a man. He would
give him chance, and try and get
him to improve it. He didn't want the
boy to leave here any wrong impress
sions as to what and who he was, and
he had Young to go and get the Ii
cense, and call Judge Daugerty down
to his house, and there in the presence
of Young and the father of the groom,
the son and his wife were duly mar
ried under the groom,s real name,
and that evening they proceeded on
to Texas under the name of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo., III. Brown. Later in the
day some of the parties whom the
son owed got after him here and had
him placed under arrest twice for not
paying his debts. his father settled
the matter here up, and by train
time he was in shape to start. 1t was
truly a relief to the father to get
started home. He had not enjoyed
this trip, although he spoke in the
highest terms of the treatment that
the majority of the people he met
had accorded him here and told us he
never was treated finer than he was
by Mr.. Young, the president and
cashier of the National State Bank,
F. p. Raumaker and different
others he got acquainted with

Brown to Maben was explained in

ran over a boy on the street, and
thought for time he had killed him.
He was arrested and taken into court
and was badly scared. He dreaded to
have his people read in the papers
that he had got ten into trouble and
when asked what his name was he
gave a fictitious name, the first one
that came to his mind, and that
name was Chas.J Maben. 1t develop
ed that the boy was only stunned
and not hurt seriously. An attorney
was appointed for him and he came
clear of the charge of criminal ne
glect for running over the boy. He re-
MANNED there some time after this
and he was always afraid to let it be
known that Maben was not his real
name, for fear the court would grab
him again. Since that time he has al
ways gone by the name of Maben.-

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb 20---
Dealers without exception call todays
cattle market mean. Sales are I'M
even, but the situation finally settled
down to 10 to Is lower basis. which
applies to everything on the list. The
best sale of steers was at 81. rs today,
though it is not claimed that they are
as good as the eight dollar cattle yes
terday. Chicago and St. Louis regis
tered decline of % to 40 cents last
week, while sales here held up nearly
steady all week, and it is the effort
of buyers to put the local market on
more equitable basis as compared
with the Others that makes such slow
going today, besides the actual de-
cline. However, the markets named
were also 10 lower yesterday, which
justifies in degree the contention of
buyers here for reduction in price
Shippers are disappointed in the way
the stuff sells, most of them having
their hopes buoyed up to a point %
to IS cents above where statesmen are
able to land their cattle. Stockers
and feeders move slowly, at prices be-
low a quarter week ago, stock
steers at S4.25 to Sc; feeders $3.50 to
$3.50. Considerable middle grade
stock stuff is being shipped from
Chicago to Kansas City now, in an
effort to get nearer the pasture coun-
try. 1t sells at s4.25 to $50. Bulk
of the feed steers sell at Sc to ST;
native cows, 81 TO $40; heifers, 81 rs
to 1928: bulls, 1918 to 1915; calves,

BIG SUFFRAGE MOVE
WOMEN TO THE NUMBER OF
10000 MARCH THROUGH
GOTHAM STREETS.
PARADE is MAMMOTH AFFAIR
Feminine Cavalry, Trousered, Booted
and Spurred, Negresses and Chi
nese Amazons Are Some of the
Unique Features of Procession.

New York, May Elm the biggest
suffrage parade ever held in America,
10000 women marched from Washing
ton square to Carnegie hall Saturday
afternoon. Nearly every one of them
wore ascent hat adopted for the &C.
casion.
The most unusual feature of the
procession were Miss Annie Thinkers
squad of cavalry women in breeches,
boots and spurs; Mrs. Albert Plimp-
toms band of negresses and Miss Myr-
tie Jin's squad OF Chinese women.
Miss Tinker and her cavalcade of
equestriennes were mounted upon
beautifully caparisOned horses,
thoughtfully provided with binders.
This cavalry squad was comprised of
the flower Of New York suffrage, and
in its ranks were Miss Inez Mulhol-
land, Miss Mabel Lee, the Chinese suf-
ffagist; Mrs. Padding Farnum, the
sculptress; Mrs. William Bracher and
Mrs. Richard S. Chisholm. Theirs was
the only headdress not of the ascent
denomination; it was a three-cornered
black straw with tri-colored cock
ade in purple, green and white, and
cost almost SO cents. The ladies be-
gan to gather at Washington square
at three o'clock, and some three hours
later Mrs. Blatch gave the order to
march.

The new Pulitzer School of Journal

broader ground of the university pol

itantly succeeded as newsgatherers; a
certain conscientious persistency unit

has enabled them to find their way
where man might prove a mere i'm

| ALLEN IS SCORED
PROSECUTOR ARRAIGNS BANDIT
AS coLD-BLooDED MURDERER.
Lawyer for Slayer Declares Client Did
Not Shoot Until After He Had
Been Wounded.

Wytheville, Va, May 4.-Floyd Al
len, typical native of Virginia's isolat-
ed hills, probably for the first time in
his life, has arrived at realization of
the determination of the law when it
deals with the man who has taken
human life.
Six weeks ago, when he was found
kin took the law into their own hands
and worked their guns until four OF
their prosecutors and an innocent
spectator were dead.
At the opening of his trial Thursday
for the murder of Commonwealth AT.
torney William M. Foster, Allen,
propped up in an easy chair to allie.
viate the pain of his own wounds
heard new prosecutor thunderously
denounce him as the arch-conspirator
in one of the most atrocious crimes
in the history of the world.
j. c. Wysof, chief counsel for the
state, in his opening address charac
terized the Allen gang as ruffians, out
laws and cold-blooded assassins. He
laid great stress on the charge of con
spiracy.
The opening address of Attorney r
H. Willis for the defense was brief
He declared his client had been the
victim of gross exaggerations. He de
MED that Allen killed Miss Nancy
Ayers; it was the bullets of either
Clerk Dexter Goad or one of his dep
uties which killed her, he said. He
denied the existence of a conspiracy
and declared Allen did not draw his
own gun until after he had been shot
and then he drew it from his hiI
pocket, not from his vest pocket, be
meath the sweater.
Judge D. w. Bolen Of Hillsville
who had been Floyd Aliens counsel
took the witness chair and detailed
the shooting at the courthouse. He
declared that Claude Allen fired the
first shot.
S. B. Weddell, a former resident o.
Hillsville, said he saw Floyd Aller
there the day before the tragedy. AL
len told him that day, the witness de
clared: II will kill Bill Foster before

in favor of lifting the church ban from
dancing, card playing, gambling and
attendance at horse racing, theaters
and circuses.
In making this radical recommends

American people are too far advanced

A representative from Missouri Of

tary of Agriculture James Wilson and
virtually threatening to vote against

adopted by a vote of 544 to 241 after a
sharp fight on the floor of the conven-
ton. An effort was made to have it
referred to a special committee and
there was sharp debate before it
passed. The resolution was the out
