The usually quiet, industrious and
prosperous little town of MarQuand
has decided TO get into the hmelieht
by having her city attorney consider
ably beaten and two of her citizens
lodged in the county bastile in this
city. The story as related here came
to us piecemeal and il may or may
not be correct. But as il was given
to us We give it to you. 1t seems
that Judge Rauls was appointed
city attorney recently and one of
his duties was to gather up various
and sundry poll and other taxes and
place them subject to the check of
the aforesaid city. The judge be-
lieves in doing whatever he does
with his whole might, and so sued
Adolph Crook and c. M. Kelly and
got their taxes This did not exactly
suit them and they laid in wait and
gave the judge considerable beat
ing. Then It was that Sheriff Sharp
landed them in jail here to await
the action of the circuit court.
Crook gave bond early in the week
and Kelley yesterday or today, SO
both may spend Xmas at home.
This in brief is the way the story
came to us.
