In drug store the other day Mr..
Waggener suggested a coon hunt to a
number of young men who were stand
ing around and they laughed at HIM
He said he was in earnest, but they
questioned his veracity. They said they
would meet him at the drug store cor
ner at o'clock that night and go IN
quest of the big game. Til be on
hand" he answered, land I'll furnish
the hounQs.'' The men chuckled. They
were sure Mr. Waggener was blufhng
but for some reason the bunch appear
ed on the corner at the appointed time.
1t was a minute or two past the time
set and the fellows were laughing at
the idea that Bale would show up.
Hes a great big buffer" said one.
Worse than that came back anoth-
er. Next time he makes me miss a
date with my girl he will know all
about it, growled the third Here he
comes,'' said the fourth, lets run. J"
I am going to be just as game as
Waggeuer," another said, and he wait
ed on the corner for B. P. "A nice
lot of fellows they are snorted Bale,
as he saw fellows running away.
They're afraid to go out in the woods
after dark he said.
True to his promise Mr.. Waggener
had the hounds and he had Ed Kouns,
a colored man. their owner, along to
coach them. Mark Waggener was
along. Mr.. Watts was the only mem
Der of the party that arranged the
hunt, to stick. The little party, led
by B. p, went out to the home of Frank
Harwi to coax him to so, but Frank
declared he had to stay at home and
take care of the baby. He was one of
the fellows who had promised to go.

coon and possum hunter. John Rater-
man and Arthur Lukens were others
who had entered into the agreement
to go hunting.
Waggener carried out his agreement,
as any honorable lawyer will do, and
with Mr.. Watts. Mark Waggener and
Ed Kouns hunted until 1920 o'clock.
One possum was captured and this was
given to Mr.. Kouns who furnished the
hounds. Waggener has served notice
on the manager of his farm to allow
no traitors to pass its gates without a
special permit from him.

viding for a certain drainage ditch in
Oberlin. Because, she alleged, it would
create a mudhole and unSanitary con-
ditions in front of her home. Miss
Georgia Randall took a spade and
filled up the ditch. She was arrested:
Before the trial Miss Randall told
Police Judge Leak that she did fill up
the ditch and would do it again, If
necessary.
Because of this, a change of venue
was taken to Justice Mahanna's court.
After three days of wrangling by law
yers, she was found guilty and fined
IS. She appealed to the district court
and for five days now the case has
been proceeding. First, arguments
made against the validity of the ordi-
nance were made, and this contention
having been lost the jury now is being
impaneled for the trial of Miss Ran
dali on the appeal.
Nearly all of Oberlin's lawyers are
engaged in the case, and if Miss Ran
dali loses the case may go to the su-
preme court on appeal. Meantime the
costs are piling up.

HEGSSIAN FLY IN WHEAT.
Leavenworth County Agent Warns
Farmer About Planting.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 16.-Not-
withstanding the fact that P. H. Ross,
the county agent, has warned farmers
repeatedly about sowing wheat with
out first taking the precaution of
disking out the volunteer growth,
many are neglecting to do so. AS a
consequence their fields probably will
be badly damaged by Hessian flies. If
the flies are killed in the egg form
when they do no damage the loss to
the wheat will be cut to the minimum
from that source.
Walter McAlexander, a well known
farmer of Delaware township, has re-
ported that he made an inspection of
the volunteer wheat in a field and
found the stalks covered with fly eggs.
He counted as many as Is eggs on
one stalk.
ST found a great many of the eggs, -
said Mr.. McAlexander. 1.-The vol
unteer wheat was fairly covered with
them. I then decided that I must disk
the entire field if I hoped to get rid
IF them. I have noticed that a num-
Der of farmers are sowing before disk
ing out the volunteer growth. I think
it a good plan to give another warning
to those who have not sown-'
