Trot' without being disorderly jury de-
cided in a test case in Wildwood

quittal by singing the Objectionable song
himself and letting Miss Williams dance

Justice Bradley's complaint was the
elimination of neighbours quarrel.

the judges house and began dancing and
singing her own accompaniment, the
judge thrust his head out of the window,
and, after denouncing the girls conduct,
ordered her away. She refused, and JUS

Miss Williams, when arragned, pleaded
not guilty and demanded a jury trial A

This One Would Have
Been Soft for Sherlocko.

Atlanta has one great bugaboo. ac-
cording TO the police. 1t is a simple,
old-time, porch climbing burglary. And it
has not taken a Sherlock Holmes to prove
that all is not burglary that seems to be.
One recent case is a very striking il
Illustration.
Remson King, well known young law
yer was out calling the other night AS
the hour grew late members of the party
began to tell spooky stories.
This is not much fun for me-" joked
Mr.. King, as he started home my
folks are all away and | am staying in
the house alone"
The next day he told story of an
unpleasant coincidence. When he en-
tered his home on Peachtree street he
was surprised to find that the lights
were on upstairs He was certain he
heard a noise like some one walking
Then the lights went out.
Convinced that there was a burglar in
the house, he rushed across the street to
telephone the police, for he was unarmed.
Two policemen came flying on motor
cycles More surprising than ever the
lights were on when the officers and Mr..
King entered the house. But there was
no burglar to be found. An investiga-
ton revealed an-open window in the sun
parlor and one of the rooms upstairs was
somewhat disarranged.
The neighbor who heard the story
next day solved the mystery. He said
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany was to blame for it all. They al
lowed the lights to go out on one cir
cult for about ten minutes that night He
said it was easy to find an open window
and a disarranged room in any Peachtree
home on any night.

Never Enter Your

Walter Taylor. the city clerk. told
an interesting story today of a hap
penlng during his newspaper life.

corner one night talking to a policeman.

cried. Come quick"
Mr.. Taylor and the policeman both
had pistols and hurried to the scene.
The man pointed out an open win
dow. The policeman went in first and
Walter Taylor followed. As they en-
tered the dark room they could hear
heavy breathing. The policeman struck
a match.

and the policeman shouted in unison

"Reassured that he was not going to
be shot, one of the young men walled

"U-n-c-l-e B-i-l-l-y!"
Uncle Billy came charging in from
an adjoining room clad in night shirt
Throw up your hands," commanded
Walter Taylor as he covered Uncle

He had recovered his composure In
few minutes, however, and then he
began to rage. But he still held his
hands above his head.

FOR BLANKET SEWER ORDINANCE

Upon motion of Nation and Hedeen
the city attorney and the water and
sewer committee we're instructed by
the council to work over the second
sewer ordinance which was recently
placed on first reading with view to
including the bond issue proposition
or TO provide a new ordinance if
necessary. The action was taken as
a result of the statement of city
attorney S G. Brown who called
attention TO the fact that neither of
the two ordinances concerned with
the sewer in the north part Of the
city make provision for a bond issue
which would be essential to the
financing of the sewer construction.
The ordinance designating the new
sewer district has been passed but a
second one which contemplated
making provision for charging the
cost of the sewer outlet to the city
in general had progressed only as far
as the first reading. The two sep
arate ordinances had been introduced
in accordance with the opinion of the
prevlons city attorney that that was
the proper method Of procedure.

cient to enable it to require the

fore the city is willing to give a quit

DID SOME TALL RUNNING

Ifyou heard ripping noise about
4 o'clock Sunday afternoon it was
probably that caused by the speed
with which members of a crap shoot
ing party at the fair grounds tore
through the atmosphere when Chief
of Police Swartz appeared among
them. The dice throwers had no
warning of his coming and he natur-
ally expected that they would sub
nit to arrest without question. In
fact they did not question but threw
heel dust in3his eyes in manner
that was most marvellous. Chief
Swartz by previous experience knew
that negroes were nimblc footed but
he was somewhat surprised to see
them outrun Bullets.

ERIE PLAYERS HAD COLD FEET

And now comes the explanation
from Erie that the fearful catastrophe
which befell their high school basket
ball team here Friday night was worse
that it properly should have been be-
cause three of the regular team had
contracted cold feet and were unwilling
to go up against Chanute. The Erie
players who did contest have no
complaint to make of their treatment
here but there seems to be a feeling
that those who feared to face the
music should be barred from taking
any more part in high school ath-
letics this year.
While the boys were losing here
the Erie high school girls were win
ming at home from lola with a Al to 0
score. No wonder that the lola girls
declined to give particulars when
they passed through Chanute
Saturday.

Candidates Will
Hire no Carriages
Voters at Primary and Spring
Elections Are Not to
Be Coddled.

1t seemed to be the consensus oi
opinion of the candidates for office
under the commission form OF
government who were present at the
mass meeting at the city hall Fri
day night that they should provide
no carriages or automobiles to haul
voters either to the primary or the
regular election In April. The
proposition was stated by ]. M.
Allen, chairman of the meeting,
and no candidate opposed it. The
idea was that as the polls would be
open from 7 a. m. to 7 o'clock in
the evening there would be ample
time for any laborer to vote with
out being helped by candidate.
Citizens not sufficiently interested
in the city's welfare to vote unless
given a free ride are not to be en-.
couraged.
A Aresolution introduced by ]. W.
Lapham and H. w. 10y concerning
further legislation for commission
form of government elections was
adopted without dissent. 1t stated
the wish of the Citizens League that
the representatives of Neosho coun-
ty to the state Legislature next year
be instructed to work for a law
whereby primary may be held In
cities of the second class in connec-
ton with commission form = of
government elections. The reso-
luton also declared in favor of a
recall for officers in second class
cities.
The principal address of the
evening was by w. N. Hudson or
the merits of the commission form
of government and the character
needed for the men who hold office
under 1t. Col. S. G.. Isett also
spoke. The following candidates
also made brief remarks: H. W.
10y, ]. w. Lapham, ]. c. Penny,
N. E. Wood, Geo. Yockey, C. G.
Wood and c. M. Manley.
1t was determined that each OF
the candidates be assessed S.
to be collected by the finance
committee of the league before
me primary. The money is
to be used for the necessary
expenses and any remainder in the
fund would be returned to the
candidates pro rata. Friends of
commission government are to be
urged to register.

FOR new CEMETERY ROAD

Chairman Stewart of the cemetery
committee asked the council Monday
evening for instructions for his com
mittee to have a rock road running
north and south constructed in the
cemetery. He stated that j, F..
Byers who had contracted the build
ing of the east and west road through
the grounds at 35 cents yard would
make the sane price for the new
road contemplated. Though recog.
nizlng the price as low the council
men adopted Nations motion that
the cemetery committee be author
lied to proceed by the usual method
Of advertising for bids for the road
constr uction. Stewart stated in re-
ply to inquiries that the fountain
built by the Ladies Cemetery Assocl-
alton is upon the route Of the con-
templated road and that the cemetery
fund has sufficient money for the
road construction.

Would Draw Trade
Away from Chanute
Success Of Allen County Peti
ton Calculated to Hurt
Business Here.

Capt. T. ]. Stewart of Humboldt
is circulating a petition to the
county commissioners of Allen
County asking that the west end of
Cottage Grove township be detached
and added to Humboldt township
which adjoins it on the north. The
first named township is contiguous
with Neosho county and is long In
its east and west dimension. If the
plan succeeds the property owners
in the southwest corner of Allen
county will expect to secure the
rich resources of Humboldt town
ship in building good rock road!
south from the town of Humboldt,
Though Chanute is in genera
way interested in having all roads
in this part of the state improved
this petition and its possible results
is calculated to have an adverse
effect upon the trade interests of
this city. The people of Humboldt
recognize the competition of Cha
mute merchants for the trade of the
farmers in the south part of Allen
county and they also recognize the
Importance of good roads in defect
ing the trade to their own city. If
this community bestirs itself and
secures rock roads between Chanute
and the Allen coipty line the
improvements in me territory
adjacent to Humboldt will be
good thing for the merchants here.
If however nothing is done Hum
boldt stands a good chance Of
securing the bulk of the trade
between the two towns.
