HE ISN'T A CONVICT
Topeka BootIegger Takes Exception to
Headline in the Paper.

Just a mistake in placing emphasis
on the wrong syllable by certain To-
peka man brought about lot of un-
necessary anger, near-trouble and de-
mands for retraction- 1t all happened
over a little story in Saturday night
State Journal which was headed.
Convict Boot1egger."
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
people in Topeka read that head as
it was intended, but one of the hun
dredths'' happened to be the man
vitality concerned in the story.
This man came to the office Monday
noon with a marked copy of the Of
Tending paper. He asserted that the
paper grossly misrep presented and
libeled him in that heading. The
story itself stated that this was his
first offense against the laws of Kan
sas. but that heading was damaging
to his reputation as respectable bust
ness man. And he added that he was
not convict No time was allowed
for explanation, so the State Journal
takes this opportunity to present the
other side.
There was no intention to call any
one a convict, and if the highly in
dignant business man would place the
emphasis on the last syllable of that
first word he might read the heading
differently.
Verify, the way of the newspaper
scribe is Strewn with thorns and his
pathway beSet with perils.

Meanwhile an agreement was redcIleu

required by law. The money has beer,
placed in a separate fund, deposited
in the banks and draws three per

In the answers filed by the deteh-
dant oil companies, i has been held,
generally, that the fees charged for
Inspection are largely in excess OF the
actual and necessary cost of MAINTAIN
ing the department and OF lnspectins
the oil, and for this reason the tax is
a general revenue producing medium
for the state in violation of the Un1tedil
States constitution and the state con-
stitution of Kansas. 1t is held that
the object of the law is to tax the OIL
men for the support of the general
revenue fund of the state.

Noltimier Pupils Show Ability

In spite of the inclement weather Of
last Thursday evening, large num-
Der of Noltimier folks came out to en-
joy the recital of Miss Koenig's piano
pupils and the presentation of the play
let, Ruth, the Moabitess.' A number
of the musical selections had to be
omitted on account OF sickness among
the pupils, but those that were render
ed, reflected great credit on Miss Koe-
nig's excellent instruction.
This was the second time Ruth
was presented, the first time being at
the Little Country Theatre in Fargo,
in 1914. Miss Cornelia Schroeder took
the part of Ruth and her Interpretation
Of this character was wonderful. The
remainder Of the cast was chosen from
among the High school pupils and
these rendered their respective parts
very well indeed.
This playlet is the pork of Professor
Abbie L. Simmons. While it is not by
any means the strongest of Miss Sim
mons plays, it shows her splendid
ability as writer.
Ruth is the second of series OF
high class plays that will be presented
this winter at the Noltimier school.

Unique Ceremony Of Christmas Carols Is
Sung at the Community Christmas Tree

Valley City was probably the only
city in the northwest where COM
munity Christmas tree, located at the
intersection Of two main thorough
fares, was the scene of an interesting
procedure on Christmas eve.
About a thousand people gathered
at 80 to hold holiday exercises and
partici late in the innovation of sing
ing carols at public Christmas tree.
The tree was decorated and shown
respondent with cOlOred lights, and
under the direction of Dean Wood
hams, of the Normal school, the audi
ence Joined in a rehearsal of such
carols as 20 Come, All Ye Faithful"
"Hark! the Herald Angels Sing,''
"Honly Night" and while Shepherds
Watched" After a few trials to get
familiarity of the music the assembly
took up the refrain and sang them
over and over with fervor and spirit.
Singing carols in the open is beau
tiful custom, and while it is practiced
to large extent in the cities by small
groups of people, it is something new
and fine to find it can be done in the
community way. The climate has
much to do with the success of such
an event. North Dakotas climate
gives the occasion such a Christ
MASSEY" setting, when everything
CLEANS and glitters, that the ancient
custom of carol singing seems to come
to you out of the past, and the whole
outdoor resembles mighty cathedral.
1t is hoped this community custom
will prevail year in and year out. It
can be enlarged upon, and after the
community exercises small groups Of
singers can be sent over every street:
in the city.
Every citizen should become inter-
ested in this unique holiday observ-
ance, and before another year rolls
around, let the program committee
know the carols you like best-let
them know that you approve of it.
and that it will have your encourage
ment.

Three Are Shot
Near Medina

Jamestown, Dec. 28.-Three persons
were seriously wounded in murder
Gus assault near Medina and one man
is in Jail awaiting the outcome Of the
injuries.
The injured are Fred Hins, Mrs.
Fred Hins and Zelda Hins.
The prisoner is John Muller.
Small hopes are entertained for the
recovery of Mr. Hins and his son,
though there is a good chance for the
recovery Of Mrs. Hins, shot in the face
and one leg. The injured are in Park
view hospital. =
The shooting scrape occurred about
4 p. m. at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Hins, four miles southwest Of
Medina. 1t appears that there has
been some talk of improper conduct
between Muller and his sister, but the
real culprit is said to have been one
of the Hins boys. The two families are
close neighbors and on Christmas day
young Muller went over to the Hins
farm and was spending the afternoon
with Zelda. During the afternoon it is
said the boys quarreled in the barn
and Muller drew his gun and shot
Zelda Hins in the head.
The father, out at the we'll, heard
the shooting and ran into the barn,
and Muller shot him through the body
and cheek.
Mrs. Hins heard the commotion and
came running upon the scene, and she
was shot down by Muller, also.
Muller then deliberately walked to
the phone and called up Drs. Girrish
& Artz in Jamestown and told them
there was some work for them to do
and they hurried to the scene to render
medical aid.
The victims of the shooting were
brought into jamestown and taken to
the hospital.
The Hins boy, who was supposed to
have been the one Muller was after,
escaped.
Drs. Garrish & Artz operated upon
Fred and Zelda Hins and they enter
tain small hopes for the recovery of
either father or son. The boy was shot
behind the ear, the bullet entering the
skull and coming out on the opposite
side. The father was shot in the body
just above the kidneys and also in the
back of the neck.
Mrs. Hins was shot in the face and
one leg.
John Muller is only 10 years of age
and has been a friend and neighbor
of the Hins family for a long time,
living only three miles from them. He
is in the county Jail now awaiting fur
Their developments and the recovery or
death of the injured members of the
