Dawson and Attorney Hessin as to
when the case shall come up, the
date for the trial will be set.
The company's answer denies the
charges that there was anything ir-

should hold. The answer says, in

The principal address this morn

to the occasion and was we'll re-
ceived. President Butcher named his
address Toms Teacher" The
president has a son, Tom, and he

any time the superintendent knows
just where he is as to weight and
quality. So accurately are these
machines made that even the frac-

It will take force OF about one

The plant will be run to full ca
pacity until harvest, night shifts

to make enough twine for the Kan

be sold at price below that of trust
twine and will as usual have the
effect of keeping down prices to the
wheat growers. With new up to date

the twine will be equal to the best

a technical error made in counting
up the points of the two debates

Chapman was victor in the debates
by one-half of one point. The error
was discovered and Abilene declar-
ed winner by point. Abilene will

The Abilene lads were outplsyed
