SOMEONE CATER" DEMPSEY.
Salinan Assaulted Following Robbery
and Fire.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 5.-Has Salina a
black hand society is a problem that
is causing considerable alarm in this
city.
W. H. Dempsey, who came here sew
eral months ago from Kansas City,
and is now attending the Wesleyan
university, was called to the front door
of his home and assaulted by two men
with clubs, and left in an unconscious
condition on the doorstep. Mrs.
Dempsey heard the noise and rushed
to the front door and found her pros
trate husband. He remained uncon-
scious until nearly noon, and declared
to the officers that he could identify
his assailants, and gave a description
of them.
Two weeks ago the Dempsey home
in the Wesleyan addition was robbed
and set on fire. What household
goods remained were ruined and the
family was left practically destitute.
The students at the university, and
people living in the neighborhood
raised sufficient money to start the
family to keeping house again.
Most of the stolen goods were found
in a barn in the Wesleyan addition,
and the officers were notified AL
though tracks in the snow gave the
officers some clew, it was not suffi-
cient to cause an arrest.
The. assault followed, and it has
aroused the people in the south part
of the city to some action, and it is
believed that the mystery will be
cleared in a day or two.

FEAR CATTLEMEN AT DODGE.
Settlers Oppose Opening Forestry
Reserve to Them.

Dodge City, Kan, Feb. 5.-Because

would again make western Kansas
counties a grazing place for their herds
the settlers there are opposed to having

open to settlement. That is the mes
sage Paul Rich, former member of the
legislature from Hamilton county,
brought to the government land office
at Dodge City. = II --4a--
The reserve comprises ninety thou
sand acres and the government has not
made a success of growing trees there.
Lately there have been rumors
that 1t is soon to be opened to
settlement But because the big cattle
owners drive the little ones out of
business and prevent the development
of the land by farmers the settlers
want the reserve maintained. as the
cattlemen cannot let their cattle Craze
for fear of trespassing upon the gov
eminent land. Therefore the counties
will protest against opening the reserve
although having the land on the tax
rolls would be of an advantage to the
taxpayers.

THE KINGS ENGLISH,
1t Is Abused and Tortured in Court
Petitions.

Either some of the Topeka attor-
neys, or some of their stenographers,
or perhaps both, are somewhat igno-
rant when ii comes to the use of the
Kings English. or at least papers filed
in the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court would signify that they are.
Some of the mistakes in English,
glaring as they are, are ludicrous in
the extreme.
A few days ago a suit was filed for
decree of divorce. Among other
things the man was charged with
Miss Conduct" either a brand new
offenSe, or else the name of new af-
finity. OF course it was plain what
was meant.
A recent petition contained 54 mis-
spelled words and nearly as many mis-
takes in grammar according to actual
count. The petition asked for set
ting aside of the bounds of wed =
dinglock," and charged that the de-
PENDANT had been "crooF' among other
things.
Some of the mistakes to be seen in
these petitions are plainly made in the
transcript from the stenographer's
notes, and are overlooked in reading
the petition. Such mistakes might
appear in the papers of almost any
attorney. But others are glaringly I'M
grammatical, and some of the petit
tions are so full of them that it is
worth the price of admission to read
