SURPRISED"

The ladies of the Presbyterian
Aid society and their husbands
met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emerson L. Brown and at 3 o'clock
Monday evening went in body
and took Mr.. and Mrs. Ciewell
somewhat by surprise. These good
people are leaving Holly this week
to make their home in Syracuse,
Kan. The ladies wished to express
their appreciation for the excellent
service Mrs. Clewell has rendered in
the Aid as president FOR two terms,
also serving as Sunday school sup
crintendent.
In few well chosen words Mrs.
Wright, on behalf of the Aid Socie-
ty. presented her with a beautiful
Colorado souvenir spoon, which
pleased her exceedingly, the latter
thanking the donors in few very
appropriate remarks.
I Some very interesting games were
INDUCED in after which the ladies
served delicious pineapple ice and
waters. All fingered until almost
midnight, enjoying the evening
and reluctant to say good bye to
those friends who will long be re-
membered in Holly. There were
about thirty present.

TWO TYPES
Note the Difference

There is type OF man who de
rives more pleasure from pulling
down than in building up; in
saying the unkind thing, rather
than the kind: the sort of man
who goes gladly forty miles out of
his way If he thinks he can put
one over" 1t takes peculiar
mental construction to gloat in
Knocking sort of self-hypnO
sis which makes the knocker think
he is doing himself good by doing
another fellow harm. The knocker
believes that others like to hear
his tale, that others take his story
at his face value. But note the
consistent knocker. He is seldom
in business for himself; or, If he
is, he hardly ever stays there.
When he gets job, he doesn't
hold it; when he has a friend, he
loses him. He has to buy for cash
for the knocker has no credit. No
body trusts him, nobody believes
him. The knocker does a lot of
harm, but in the long run, it is
only to himself. The man who
knocks is always among the down
and-outs, the has,beens, the never
tO-bes. The successful man ignores
the knocker. He is too busy do
ing things La Junta Tribune.

BY CARELESS CAR DRIVER.

AS Mrs. Charles Wilson and son
Frank, residing at the bottom of
Whites hill, were coming to Lancas-
ter, Monday evening at about six
o'clock their one horse rig was struck
by an automobile going west on the
Beeto'yn road. Mrs. Wilson states
that the car was on the wrong side
of the road and did not turn or SLOW
up.
The rig was struck or grazed on the
left side the shafts being broken and
the rear axle smashed. Both parties
were thrown to the ground, Mrs. Will
son receiving painful if not severe in
juries. Frank. was unhurt
There were three people in the car
which was a Ford, man and two
women
The rear light was not lit and the
front lights showed but dimly. Mr.
Wilson feels quite indignant over the
matter and offers a reward of SIS for
information as to the identity of the

OUR COMMUNITY TREE
NOW BEING MADE
TO INSURE ANOTHER POPULAR
CELEBRATION OF XMAS EVE.

At meeting called at the city hall
last Friday evening arrangements
were made for the observance of
Christmas by means of the Community
Christmas tree and appropriate exer-
cises. While the meeting was not
largely attended, there seems to be no
question that the people of the COM
munity want and expect this Christ
mas tree. The city council appro-
priated one hundred dollars for this
purpose. 1t is planned to keep the
expenses within this amount.
Mr.. Angus of the Lancaster Light &
Power company has again donated the
material necessary for lighting the
tree. Harvey Orion donates his serv-
ices in the labor necessary to the in
stallation of this lighting system on
the tree. 1t is hoped that all others
who may be called upon will as will
ingly donate their services

dered is still with me, and I have puz-
zled over the question of what action
[ should take upon this motion. It
seems to me upon the trial that there
was another reasonable hypothesis
arising from the evidence to account
for the death of Mrs. KuhI other than
that her husband caused her death. !
thought that it was as likely that her
death was caused by being knocked
down twice by bull as that it was
caused by a blow or blows from the
husband which left no external marks
whatever, that the one was as proba-
BILE as the other. The doctors who
made the post norton examination
testified positively that there were no
external marks of injury upon her to
account for the death. They SO re-
ported to the district attorney. He
then advised them to return to where
the body was and make a thorough
autopsy. They dld so, and found
that, although there were no marks
that would account for her death, that
skull the left temporal muscle showed
evidence Of having been injured by
violence, that on the opposite side OF
the skull hemorrhage had set in at
the lower part Of the brain, and that
this hemorrhage was the cause Of
Mrs. Kuhl's death. They found upon
a thorough examination of the body
that there were on each hip two black
and blue discOlorations, the one more
than the other.
1t is evident that the jury in one i'm
pOrtant particular entirely discredited
the testimony Of the defendant and
OF his son, who was II years of age
at the time of the death of his moth
er and had enter ed his thirteenth wear
at the time of the trial. The testi-
mony shows that Mrs. Kuhl had gone
to the pasture adjoining the milking
yard to drive into the yard the milk
COWS. With them there was a HoI-
stein hOrnless bull. The defendant
had owned this animal for several
months. 1t seems that he ran with
the COWS in the pasture all the sum
mer, and that when the COWS were
driven toward the milk yard he would
follow. 1t became necessary when the
gate of the milking yard was thrown
open for the COWS to come in that he
be kept out. Apparently Mrs. Kuhl
had gone down to this yard between
5 and o'clock. The defendant testi-
fed that he was blowing that after
noon in one Of the fields of his farm
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-12-13

and that when he came to the house
he found his wife had gone to milk
the COWS and he went down to assist
her. Their son Clarence had been
away that afternoon at a picnic. When
he returned to the home that evening
he found his father and mother both
away from the house, and he went
down to the milking yard to assist.
When they got through milking, the
three Of them returned to the house.
Mrs. Kuhl carried one bucket of milk
and Clarence says that she seemed
weaker than usual as she had to put
the bucket down and rest once or
twice before reaching the house. He
further said her face seemed flushed.
When she got to the home she went
to the kitchen and prepared the sup
per. Clarence testifies that while she
was there, he went out on the kitchen
porch and washed his face, and that
while he was doing so his mother told
him that the bull had knocked her
down twice. The defendant testifies
that on his coming to her in the milk
ing yard that evening his wife told
him the same thing. Both of these
persons were examined at the prelim-
mary examination something about a
year and half before the trial and
upon cross examination it appeared
that Clarence did not tell at that ex-
animation that his mother had made
the statement above referred to him.
The theory of the State was that this
was made-up story and that the bow
had been drilled to repeat what the
father would say. During the trial
Of the case | gave great attention to
the boys testimony in order to form
an opinion IS to whether what he said
was reliable or not.
He looked to me like a bright, in
telligent boy who was trying to tell
the truth, but in this imp vrtant par
ticular 1 could not say 1 feel entire
confidence that he did so. Upon this
alleged statement of the wife and
mother the defense in the case was
grounded.
The state produced no eye witness as
to how the injury occurred. There
was no eye witness. They introduced
Mr.. Andrews, farmer living not far
from the Kuhl's, who testified that
that evening when being by a school

man swearing and then a woman

this to happen, but it is certain that
the next session will be shortened

aged 80 years, months and days.
Deceased was born in South Lancas-

life had been spent here, where every
one knew him as faithful friend At
the age of 81 years, he went to Hen

Interment took place at Boice Prairie

session four months as compared
with the last two sessions, which
were not far differ ent than those Of
former years, the saving for employees
would be $42,700. Legislative printing
averages about $40 a day. Cutting off
that for four months can easily be es-
timated at $4,000, the combined saw
ing being about 100000.
The legislative employees staff also
is being revised, in the belief that
certain positions can be abolished.
1t is almost certain that a saving
Of from $1,000 to $4,000 can be
made in this way. Naturally, to bring
this about, there must be less politics
in the legislature, and more of an in
clination to get down to business dur
ing the first month of the session than
has been the practice in former years.
