GHOST TELLS HER
Mother of Boy Told of Ills
Treatment by Spirit.
School Teacher Upheld by
Court for whipping Boy.

Cherryvale, Kan, Jan. 3.-Miss
Ethel Barker, principal of the Cen
trail school, was acquitted of an as
sault charge which grew out of the
whipping she gave Raymond Higgins,
aged 8. 1t is understood that the
boys father, Albert Higgins, will bring
a damage suit against Miss Barker.
A. L. Billings. who assisted the county
attorney in the prosecution, is his at
torney.
The boy was pupil of Miss Elem
ing. She complained frequently OF
his misconduct including his profan-
ity.
The boy did not return to school
after the whipping and his parents
complained to the board of education.
The board investigated and upheld
Miss Barker. The parents then COM
planned to the police Judge who issued
Their action by the city attorney who
said the case must be prosecuted by
the county if at all. The state warrant
was issued.
Mothers Spirit I'm Case.
Mrs. Lillian Higgins, the mother,
startled the court by announcing that
her dead mothers spirit came to her
and told her of the boys whipping.
ut was half past eleven on the
Wednesday night after Raymond was
bed, that my dead mother came to
me and held up a card on which was
written: See what they have done
to my boys legs and when I asked
who, the words Ethel Barker ap-
peared on the card"
Continuing. she said, ST got up and
looked at Raymond then and found
his thighs solid black and blue to the
knees and broad black and blue stripes
across his legs from the knees. I
screamed until morning.
On cross-examination Mrs. Higgins
said she might have dreamed of her
mothers appearance but that she was
certain she was awake. She knew
Raymond had been punished but not
So severely, she said.

ner, who took up claim in Lincoln

Springs, Mo. Their first meeting
proved to be very eventfu1. At the
local probate court they were married
by Judge D. A. McCanless.
The bride wore a white gown and
although she stated tht 1t was her sec
ond matrimonial venture, she was a
bit nervous yet very, very happy. Mr..
Ittner also had been a groom before
and has raised one family.
He is striking example of man
hood, standing nearly SIX feet high,
straight as an arrow and with the fire
of manhood undimmed. She is a
sweet-faced woman and does not look
like one who has seen three score
years and five.
1--WE are going TO get out of the rest
of our lives all the happiness possible -
he said as he looked lovingly upon
Mrs. Ittner. q
They left the court house together,

Scott donned himself in his finest old
clothes, rolled up an extra pair of over
alls and attached the bundle to the
end of a stick, turned in all his money
to his friends for safe keeping and
started home. He lives at Cunningham,
distance of 65 miles from Wichita.

about two-thirds of the way and rode

Mr.. Scott found that It is an easy

Eureka Kan Ian. + I

Eureka, Kan, Jan. I, 1913.
To the Topeka State Journal:
An item appears in today's Journal
that has appeared in most of the
dailies during the last few days states
that H. B. Lapham of Lorton, Georgia,
a member of the Ninth Kansas cav
airy, had discovered through making
application for pension that no
member of the Ninth Kansas had ever
applied for a pension. Such foolish
ness is tommyrot, as we have a num-
Der of good men in Greenwood county
who were members of the celebrated
Ninth Kansas and are drawing their
pensions regularly and have been for
years. I name the following: T. c.
Williams, William Smethers, John
Henley and John H. Osborn, who is
now postmaster at the Dodge City Sol
diers' home. Judge Charles B. Graves
was a member of the Ninth and drew
a pension. Then again everybody
knows that every pensioner stands on
his own record in the matter of secur-
ing pension. Why do such foolish
items burden the pages of the news
papers is a mystery unless news is so
extremely scarce since election Yours
truly, j. NJ SMYTH.

sumptuous meal was the reward of that
effort. Again he was dummy, SYM
pathy and food were freely bestowed
upon him. The most novel plan was
to engage a farmer in long conversa-
ton on the Evils of the Protective
Tariff until the victim forgot his
scruples against feeding buns and in
vited him in to dinner.
Among other things Mr.. Scott finds
that a man who gets on a freight train
can ride about a mile before the con-
ductor will get around to put him off.
He met with better success when he
got on the blind baggage of a fast
passenger at Kingman and kept it until
he reached Cunningham.
