KAT zANJAMMER
STUNTS DON'T GO

Hans unit Fritz unit Gus unit a
couple of more of dose kind of
Caucasians-6fe of dem in all vas
very scairt Tuesday, ven dey vas
beckoned before der Justice of der
Peace, and toldt that dem Katzan-
jammer businesses is copyrighted
by dose funny papers, They were
also told that it would be best for
them, to get wise" to the fact,
even though yOung) that it is no
use to try to jolly the Law.
For some time it has been very
evident that the peaceful little
city of Liberal held some boys;
school boys, who were very mis-
chievious. Strange isn't itl Who
would think that LIBERAL would
have any bad boys9
For about the same length of
time that it has been apparant
that Liberal was the home of some
naughty, mean boys, it has been
noticed that little things disappear
ed from here and there. Also
it was noted that certain persons
we're acting with much disregard
for public property. They were
spotted. They we're watched.
They we're repremanded, but all
to no avail. They went a little
too far, however, when they went
out to the fair grounds, wherein
the citizens of Liberal have spent
thousands of dollars, and there
they got disgustingly gay. They
shot into the buildings; shooting
one door entirely off, we under
stand. They built large fire
close to a building and then went
away and left it.
Five white-faced and sincere
kids" signed a little agreement,
with the County Attorney, sOme-
thing as follows, Tuesday after
noon: e
First: l will not use tobacco in
10 any form, nor violate that law,
except in the privacy of my home
and by consent OF my parents.
Second: l will not accept any
intoxicating liquor, except from
Z my parents and in my home. |
will not. purchase any from any
I one.
Third: l will not commit any
depredations on property, or build
3 dangerous fires. All of these are
. to be abided by for one year.
) If they are caught breaking any
: part of this agreement they are to
( 70 to the reformatory without any
! ado, and Mr. Commons says that
| they sure will 90 if caught.
They will report to the proper
$ officials every once in a while.
Q Rememberl 1t is no use to try
t to jolly the Law.

THINKS WHAT'S HIS
BELONGS TO HIM

A search and seizure warrant was
issued out of he justice court Sat-
urday. The officers went to the
Waters Feed yard, south of the track
and, tucked snugly away in stall,
were three big juicy gallons of booze.
And now tucked snugly away in a
stall-a steel stalls a man.
Yes, he even went so far as to
get strangely angry and lament with
walls woeful that the county had
swiped his booze. He thinks the
world of justice is topsy turvy.
"Swipe mans property, and then
arrest him and perhaps send him to
the penitentiary for it," The very
idea. Just like running over a
man with an automobile, then get
ting out and kick him couple OF
cracks on the pants for getting in the
way. "'Crool World!'"
He did not know the idiosyncracies
of the law; he did not know when
he Indignantly claimed the booze
that the law states that liquor loses
its value as private property wher
stored in public place of business
not in connection with private res.
