KIENE TOLD HIM
1t Was About Silly Lies That He
Had Promised Appointments.
Met Opponent and Showed Him
Folly of His Ways.

L. l. Kiene, Republican nominee for
sheriff of Shawnee county, has stead
tasty refused to appoint his assist
ants before he is elected himself
At primary time groundless reports
concerning the officers Mr.. Kiene hao
selected were rife All of these stories
We're tracked to the doors of Sheriff
Norton's friends.
The Republican nominee repeatedly
denied the charges, but did not lose
his temper. Now, as election approach
es, the stories start again, and appar-
emily originate with Schlichter, Mr..
Kienes Democratic opponent.
One day this week, Mr.. Kfene, saun-
tering down Kansas avenue, noddinS
to an acquaintance at every other
step, encountered Mr.. Schlichter.
@'Schlichter,' said he, Il hear you
are appointing all my officers, even my
deputies for me. L believe you have
named w. R. Eaton, J. B. Stahl, and
Herman Ericsson. How about it?
think you're unwise. You're not leaV-
ing anything for me to do after cleo
ton. 1 might want to appoint
one or two myself. Then there's anoth
er point; suppose I wanted to make
you ndersheriff-why, I couldn't do
it, for you already have my under
sheriff named"
Mr.. Schlichter grinned feebly ard
walked away. The rumors are not so
loud or so numerous as they were q
week ago.

city of Usage City and the Freedom
Engineering company, was returned in
the second division of the district
court late yesterday afternoon in the
suit for damages for personal injuries
to his wife brought by Charles J.
Howard. The arguments in the case
were finished shortly before noon yes

damaged in that he had been put to
considerable expense through his
wife's injuries, and also that her Grip
piled condition deprived him of the
comfort he might have taken in her
services and society. Mrs. Howard
fell into an open ditch, constructed for
the waterworks mains, breaking and
badly bruising her ankle. Damages
in the sum of $4,000 were asked. A
suit by Mrs. Howard for herself re-
suited in verdict in her favor, re-

SUES STORAGE co.
Mrs. Schulz Files One for Goods Lost
in Merchants Transfer Fire.

Charging negligence in failing to pro-
vide against fires, and in failing to pro-
vide proper facilities for fighting fires,
Mrs. A. L. Shull has filed suit against
Clarence Skinner and Harry Gayhart,
operating as the Merchants Transfer &
Storage company, for the alleged value
of household goods stored in the build
ing at the time of the recent fire. Judg-
ment in the sum of 81 ,147 is asked.
The petition alleges that the furni-
ture was stored October 5, and charges
that every possible precaution should
have been taken to prevent fire, and
that such precautions were not taken.
The case involves the liability of a
storage company for goods stored, and
presents an interesting situation.
