THE JUSTICE COURTS.

Joseph Kennedy, an itinerant UNI
brella repair man is lodged in the
county bastile, awaiting trial. Ken
nedy visited the city of Hazel Green
Wednesday, and, it is alleged, watched
Mrs. Mary Harmon, milliner, count
the sum of $25 and place it in the till
in her store. Mrs. Harmon was called
away for a minute and upon her re-
turn she found the money missing.
1t is claimed that witnesses saw Ken
nedy go into the shop during Mrs.
Harmon'S absence. Kennedy was
traced to Galena and brought back
from there by Sheriff Frank He'll. He
waived preliminary examination and
was bound over to the circuit court in
bonds of $1,000 on a charge of grand
larceny. AS he was unable to pay
this sum he accompanied Mr.. He'll to
his hotel
Ed Sabinson and Mrs. Nettie Glass
brenner, both of Boscobel, were
brought to Lancaster on September
20, by Constable Wilson Henry, on a
charge of adultery, preferred by the
husband of the woman, Fred Glass
brenner. Their preliminary eXamina-
ton was had on Monday of this week
before Justice Burrows in the sheriff.
room at the court house. The evidence
was of sufficient nature to warrant
their being held for trial at the cir
cult court this term. Mrs. Glassbren-
ner was bound over for the sum OF
$500 which she was able to furnish,
and obtained her release until her
trial. Sabinson was put under $1,000
bonds, and being unable to provide the
stipulated sum, he will be confined
in the county Jail until his case is
called.

LANCASTER BOYS
PLAY DARLINGTON
Last Saturdays Football Game
Results in Zero Score.
Local Eleven Makes Remarkable
Showing Against Old Team-Min-
eraI Point Here Saturday.

Lancaster high school played Darl-
ington Saturday, and aside from dem
onstrating possibilities of having
first-class football team some time in
the future, also showed that there is
no use or sense in accepting defeat
until one has really been defeated.
The boys played Darlington to finish
and neither side was able to score at
all at all. The game started promptly
at 3 O'Clock and the two halves lasted
until about 4 o'clock. The last two
quarters were played in fifteen minu-
ties each, owing to rain and darkness.
Darlington kicked off to Lancaster's
2O-yard line in the first quarter, the
ball being carried by Lancaster back
to the center of the field, reaching to
within ten yards of the Darlington
goal line. The play was mostly in
Darlington territory. No score.
First quarter, second half. Lancas-
ter kicked off. Quarter played in cen
ter of field, neither side gaining the
advantage. No score.
Second quarter, second half. Darl-
ington carried ball to within ten yards
of Lancaster goal. Lancaster held
for downs Ball carried over ten yard
line. In last two minutes of play
Lancaster carried ball back twenty
yards by aggressive masse play. No
score.
Darlington proved superior in end
runs and interference. Lancaster on
line plunging and impregnable line.
Ralph Orion of the Lancaster team,
made the longest run of the game in
first half when he carried the ball
thirty yards. The visiting team was
treated royalty and the officials were
extremely fair in all their decisions.

TWELVE FOOT CORN.

William Shimmin, who resides in
South Lancaster, has been telling the
Herald man about some wonderful
corn growing upon his farm and the
other day a sample of this corn arriv-
ed. The stalk is over eleven feet in
length, and four feet from the root it
is five inches in circumference. 1t
has three ears two of which are eXcep-
tionally large, all of them more than
six feet from the ground. There are
four more ears that would have prob
ably developed in a more favorable
season. Mr.. Shimmin is tall man,

LIVINGSTON FAIR
DRAWS DANDY CROWD
Horse and Cattle Judging Big
Feature of Day.
Typical Home Affair Free to All and
Worthy of Supporter Course
1t Rained..

Livingston generally manages to
pull off a successful fair once year,
and this time was no exception. They
call it a high school fair principally
we suppose because it is held on the
high school grounds and partially be-
cause Mr. Wiseman, the principal of
of the schools superintends things.
But everybody goes and they all pull
to make it a success. There are some
mysterious things about the Livings-
ton fair. One is that they make no
charge of any kind for seeing their
exhibits and entertainment, and an
other is that they offer most hand
some premiums for the prize winners.
How they do it and manage to get
such a splendid array of fine cattle,
horses, poultry and art exhibits, is too
deep for an ordinary newspaper man.
But they do and we have bunch that
they are bunch of boosters who want
what they want when they want it and
then just naturally go and get it.
A delay at the start, blowout on
our trusty car and a good samaritan
act pulling a baseball player and his
lady friend out of the mud at Anna
ton, delayed the county superintend-
ent and his passenger so that we ar.
rived at Livingston quite a little be-
hind time to see everything. Just
about the time we were getting really
interested and acquainted, it began to
thunder and big rain drops commenced
falling at such rate that the party
got a case of cold feet and we
started for home. About half way
back the rain stopped, the sun came
out and the laugh was on us. But
there were others.
There wasn't any carnival company
at the Livingston fair or any Midway.
No horse racing or anything of excit-
ing or hectic interest. But everything
that was shown was home product
and the atmosphere was healthy and
bracing. Ping Livingston stood at
the gate looking after the traffic and
welcoming everybody with that genial
smile and warn handshake of his. Pinz
took us over and showed us a cab
bage that must have been three feet
across and weighing thirty-five lbs.
They raise other things besides fine
stock at Livingston.
Mr. George G. Humphreys, of the
University of Wisconsin, judged the
splendid array of cattle and horses.
Mr.. Humphreys evidently knows his
business and he was tickled to have
such a fine lot of animals to work on.
Everything at Livingston comes
from the surrounding territory and be-
speaks something of the fine farming
country in that vicinity. One gentle
man, Mr. G.. Fl. Thomas, exhibited a
half Norman and half Shire mare
which has won first prize for three
years successfully, including the
three-year-old this year. There were
ten mares in the three-year-old class
alone which gives some idea of the
amount of stock exhibited. We had
hoped to be able to give the list OF
prize winners, but Mr.. Wiseman was
unable to get it compiled in time for
this weeks issue.

Mrs. Ebaugh received word the
first of the week telling of the death
of her sister, Mrs. Summer at her
home in Ohio. The deceased was
we'll known in Malta, having lived
here for number of years. The
funeral services were conducted
Monday. Mrs. Ebaugh has the
sympathy of her large circle of ac-
quaintances in her bereavement.
The attorney general has ruled
that the law requires all women who
register to tell their exact age. The
new law enacted by the legislature
removes any doubt in the matter by
requiring explicitly that the elector
at the time of registration must tell
his or her exact age. Some have
supposed that the women could COM
ply with the law by simply taking
their oath that they were over 2l
years of age. That will not, suffice
now.
