F. W. SPENCER WINS
AN IMPORTANT SUIT

In July, 1912, Mrs. Olive E. Hunt,
wife of Spencer s. Hunt, commenced
suit in the circuit court of this
county. The defendants in the suit
were F, w. Spencer, the we'll known
hardware merchant, and Spencer S.
Hunt, husband OF the plaintiff. The
suit was brought for the purpose of
cancelling a note and mortgage for
$17OO executed by Mr., and Mrs. Hunt
in favor of Mr.. Spencer. In her COM
plant Mrs. Hunt charged that the
note and mortgage had been obtained
without consideration and that she
had been deceived and misled into
signing the same, She also charged
that her husband was under duress
and that really the crime of COM
pounding a felony had been committed
In obtaining the note and mortgage.
Spencer anskered to the effect that
S. S. Hunt had entered his employ as
a salesman and continued in such en-
ploy for year or theTeabouts and
during that time had continuously en-
bezzled moneys from Mr.. Spencer's
store, beginning his peculations on
the very first day Of his employment
when he took 81 or more, and ending
on the last day, when he took about
$25, and the answer further showed
that Mr.. Spencer did not wish to act
hastily, and that for that reason de-
ferred taking any action against Hunt
until he had first obtained absolute
proof Of his guilt and that when Hunt
was confronted with the proof against
him he freely confessed that he had
stolen many hundreds Of dollars from
Mr.. Spencer, The amount misap-
propriated was finally determined at
the sum Of $34OO and Hunt settled
this by giving his check for $1,000 and
executing the note and mortgage for
the remaining $17OO.
Before making any settlement of
the civil debt with Hunt, Mr.. Spencer
was careful to consult with the sheriff
and also the Deputy District Attorney
so as to avoid any appearance even of
violating the law. Mr.. Spencer was
well assured by both of those officers
that he would have a right to settle
his civil debt against Hunt and then
Hunt was told very distinctly that if
he would settle the civil debt he need
not thereby expect any immunity from
criminal proceedings and no promise
or hope was held out by Mr.. Spencer
or any of the officers to Hunt that
he would not be prosecuted.
The suit was tried before Judge
William Galloway in December and
the parties filed exhaustive briefs.
The judge took the suit under advise
ment and day or two ago announced
his decision in favor of defendant
Spencer on all points. Judge Gallo
way was particularly careful to an
nounce definitely that the settlement
made with Hunt was free and clear of
any doubt or suspicion of wrong do
ing and that certainly no compound
ing Of felony had been committed or
was even thought Of by any Of the
parties to the transaction, but on the
contrary throughout the whole pro
ceeding Mr., Spencer had conducted
himself strictly within the law and
without any desire to be unnecessar-
lily harsh or severe upon anyone.
This is a signal victory for Mr..
Spencer and It leaves the note and
free and clear Of any taint
of illegality.

Backed off the Map

Washington, March 1s.-When vii.

Of state, little did an enthusiastic pop.

another quality in the versatile Ne.
braskan. 1t has, however. And today
when Bryan is not barricading himself
against callers "paying their re.
spects" with application for a Job of
some kind folded in their pockets) the
secretary is giving free.fOr.all exhi.
bition of "silence," to which the
speechlessness of the clam is a mighty
roar.
Everybody knew that Philander C.
Knox, Bryan 8 predecessor, was silent
person, He exuded it. But when Bry.
an was named as his successor every.
body in the newspaper world perked up.
There would surely be some news, with
the Nebraskan on the job.
The second or third day after he had
been sworn in, troop of enthusiastic
correspondents were admitted to his
presence.

"But, Mr.. Secretary" one CORE.

The ncxt interview went like this:
"Mr. Secretary, how about Mexico?"
"Ah," Bryan replied earnestly.
You have heard of the Mudfog pa.
pers, where the correspondent wired in

Tells His Weight.
Thereupon he turned and greeted
Senator Tillman with much eclat.
Finally, after a week of it, the cor.
respondents got desperate, One of them
asked Bryan how much he weighed
With the diplomatic trait strong in
him, the secretary answered.: "Tom
Reed said mo man over 200 pounds is
a gentleman and I'm 90 or "a pounds
over being a gentleman. "
Then he said when he got a new
house, had his riding horse shipped
bought n new hat, or something like
that he would "bulletin" the fact to
the press.
But nevertheless, and notwithstand
ing the fact that the silver.tongued or.
ator won't talk, Mr., Bryan is certainly
on the job at the state department. He
