FARMER KILLED VALUABLE DOG

A valuable bulldog belonging to
John Camac mistook the buggy of
O. f. Rowland, who lives four and
a half miles north of Chanute, for
that of his master Saturday after
noon and thereby got into trouble
which resulted in its death. The
buggies were hitched near together
on South Highland just south of
Main street. When Rowland put a
package in his own buggy about S
o'clock in the afternoon preparatory
to driving home he found the dog
in possession.
Stories of the incident do not
agree as to whether the dog showed
fight or whether Rowland's attack
on it was entirely without provoca-
ton. 1t seems certain however that
without attempting to remove the
dog peaceably he secured bar of
iron from the Airing blacksmith
shop and struck the dog a blow
which crushed its skull and broke
its back.
Chief Swartz in the police office
heard the disturbance, and with
Patrolman Irwin promptly went to
the street. The officers seeing that
there was no chance for the dog to
recover from the blow, dragged the
animal to the rear of the city hall
where a shot put it out of its mis-
cry. Mr.. Camac considered his dog
an excellent watch dog and was
much put out at Rowland's hasty
and extreme action.

Instruct Railroads
To Make Refund
Commerce Commission Up
holds Claim Of Chanute
Refining Company.

l., l.. MARCEL has received WORD
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered that the Santa
Fe, C. B. & Q. and Missouri Paci-
fic railroads make reparatlon for
freight overcharges on oil shipped
by the Chanute Refining Co. from
Chanute to Falls City, Nebraska.
A total of $7a2 oS is the amount
which the railroads are instructed to
refund. The contention made by
Mr.. MARCEL when he appeared be-
fore the commission at Cleveland,
Ohio, on August 4, 1911 was thai
the railroads were not justified in
increasing the rate on oil shipments
from Chanute to Nebraska points
from II to 22 cents per hundred
In its finding the Commission not
only ordered the refund but estab-
lshed 22 cents as the permanent
rate between Chanute and Falls
City.
The claim just allowed strength
ems the case which the Refining Co
has filed for reparation and refunn
of charges on shipments between
Chanute and Beatrice, Nebr.
This claim was also presented to
the commission at Cleveland by
Mr.. MARCEL in person. This latter
hearing was on December 4, 1911
and action on the same is not ex-
pected for about 90 days.

Magendley Guilty
On One Count
Jury Failed to Convict Him
on Charge Of Sell
ing Whiskey.

In the state case against J. w.
Magendley for the violation of the
prohibitory liquor law which occu-
pied the attention of the district
court at Erie all day Thursday the
jury found him guilty on one count of
maintaining nuisance but failed to
convict him of selling whiskey
Nine counts had been filed against
him on the latter charge and the
states witnesses testified to having
bought whiskey from Magendley by
the drink and by the bottle. The
defendant however on his behalf
denied his guilt and stuck to his
statement and the jury failed to be-
lieve that he had ever sold any
liquor
Magendley was arrested by the
Chanute police on December 20 at
his place of business over a Main
street store. At the time he was
under a $500 bond to appear in
February for the violation of law
as charged him in complaint filed
in justice court at the time of his
arrest on the evening of the first of
last July. His case naturally should
have come up at the October term
of the district court as he had waived
appearance in the justice court on
the complaint of July I. His case
had however been continued from
the October until the February
term of district court. Upon Ma
gendley'S arrest in December his
surety withdrew the $500 bond and
he had been in the county jail since
that time.

Resolutions Read
But Not Voted On
School Board Postponed Deci-
sion on Request for Bond
Issue Election.

A resolution looking toward the
holding of an election to determine
concerning the. voting of bonds for
he erection of high school build
ing was offered at special meeting
of the school board Monday even
ing ny DR.. w. E. Royster, and a
motion for Its adoption made by
him and seconded by Chapple.
The proposition was discussed by
tn. members, all being present ex-
cept DAVIS, but no vote on the mo-
ton uad bee II laken when the mo-
ton for aoj urnment was made by
Conne.l and seconded by Tomlin-
IN. rne next meeting of the
hool boaru will be its regular
monthly session on Monday
March 4.
The resolution stated 1t to be the
judgment of the school board of
District No. composed of Cha
mute and the school territory at
tached thereto, that it is necessary
that the district be provided with a
suitable hlgn school building and
ounds, the same not to exceed the
estimated cost of $4,000. 1t
stated that the proper and suitable
location for SAID building is tract
of land described as lots one to nine
inclusive in block 9, Alliance addi-
tion to Cnanute, and that it is nee.
essary to issue bonds as provided by
law In a sum not to exceed SIS, 900.
The resolution requested that the
mayor call an election for the pur-
pose of submitting to the qualified
electors of city and school district
the question of issuing the bonds
that the sense of the voters
may be determined concerning the
same. According to the resolution
the bonds would bear not 10 exceed
S percent interest and would be
payable not more than 20 years
from their date, and should be sold
at not less than their par value. 1t
directed the president and clerk to
notify the mayor of the boards
action and request and that it is the
desire of the board that the election
be held Tuesday April a.
Connell stated that he would be
unable to attend the meeting for
members of school boards at the
Southeast Kansas Teachers Associ
alton in Independence, the latter
part of next week. The board
selected Pres. Swank as his substi-
tute but as he indicated that he
could not go it is probable that
only Royster and Tomlinson will
represent Chanute at the school
board conference.
