WITNESS WINCES
IN CITY COURT

It happened in the municipal courl
not many moons ago.
Two prisoners stood before the bar
Of justice, facing charges of drunken
ness and reckless driving. Believing
themselves not guilty as charged in
the information they had each de-
manded a trial, secured a continuance,
and deposited cash bonds for their
later appearances.
And then. like unto the man who
went forth into the highways and by
ways and hedges and bitches and side
streets and alleys hunting up guests
Tor the Dutch lunch, these prisoner
at the bar Jared forth from the city's
justice mill in an effort to locate some
one who would be willing to appear
IN open court and state upon oath that
neither nor both the said defendants
had driven recklessly or imbibed mot
wisely but too wellp
At last the man was found. He was
a citizen of Grady county, tried and
true. He had seen the two defendants
The afternoon before as they were
driving along the city's outlying
streets seemingly homeward bound
And he had nct noticed that they were

for whom we searcheth. Come thou
with us to justice dispensary of the
city and tell unto the police judge the
story thou hast impaired unto us. Tell
him. we pray thee, that thou sawest
us on yester' cen and noted that We
did persuade our auto mule wagons
countryward with due decorum'
And the witness hailed also he
came with the defendants as re-
quested,
And the cases were called for trial
and the defendants did put the wit
ness on the stand and did seek to aues-
ton him and draw from him the story
he was willing to tell. But
What do you knew about ,ats
case?o queried the Judge in tohgs Of
awesome thunder and grave import.
Then the witness waxed afraid and
did tremble and shake in his boots
and did dream dire visions Of prison
cells and road gangs and bread and
water.
And thus trembling and dreaming
he did commune with himself and say
unto himself; possibly, discretion is
the better part Of valor and forgetful-
ness the quintessence Of discretion,
so, in quavering tones, 81 don't know
anything about it, your honor
"Then what the devil are you doing
here? Why are you here wasting the
time of the court? Answer the ques-
tion. repeat the query What the
devil are you here for?'"
Then it was that one of the defend
ants stepped into the breach as his
own attorney and sought to appear as
party in court.
'Let me explain, your honor, what
we desire to prove by this witness,
said the attorney in fact, who was also
defendant post facto.'
You shut upr admonished the
court when we desire TO hear from
YOU we will advise you of that fact

police force that he would, without

the officer had in former years huskcd

loads of corn per day for six days in

willing to make concession to the

consideration.
Representatives of the Rushville,

will attend the meeting here Sunday

the circuit. Officers will be elected
and a committee appointed to draft

WEATHER TO DECIDE
POLO SEASONS FATE

Whether or not polo is ended for
the season is matter Of speculation
right now said Mr.. Gaar today
Weather will have great deal to
do with 1t. There is no use to try
and stage polo If the weather gets
better but If nasty weather should
set in then probably we will stage
more games. We had planned on play
ing Sox Quigley's team against the
A. s. M. the winner of that game to
play Muncie or Indianapolis. Mum
Ole would hardly prove drawing
card even with new goal tender as
from past performances on the local
floor they do not seem to have the
necessary strength. Indianapolis
would be the best proposition but
they will come only on the terms
