DOUGLASS Shoots OranaO in Hip

James M. Douglass, an en-
ploye of the S. P. bridge gang,
punctured Jose Orange Monday
with a 30-40 rifle, putting a shot
in Orango's hip. Douglass, as a
result of his act, now rests in the
county Jail and will be brought
up before the present grand jury.
In the preliminary trial it was
brought to evidence that the de-
fendant went to Orango's house
with some washing and display
ed dissatisfaction at not being
asked to have a seat. The man
of the house appeared on the
scene, ordering Douglas away
and flourishing a monkey wrench.
In a short time Douglas reap
peared and as Orange left his
honse, it is alleged, he let him
have shot from his ri fle. Lodg-
ing in Orango's hip the bullet
did no damage to speak of.
In giving his testimony Doug
lass stated he intended to shoot
what he believed to be an auto
matte (the monkey wrench) from
the hand of Orange, but missed
his aim. Judge Marsalis admit
ted he certainly did miss his aim,
and gave him over to the grand
jury to recover his eyesight.

they were patrons of itinerant
medicine peddlers. This county,
which is mentioned because it is
one Of the best counties of the
state, has ten fair-sized towns.
Yet during the 12-month period
preceding the time when the out
of-the-state buying test was
made, eight of these ten towns
lost in population, the county
seat being one of the losing num-
Der. These figures may bear no
relation to each other, but here
is one fact the Kansas communi-
ty builder should not overlook:
Every dollar spent in a business
way helps business in some
body's town. Every dollar spent
in a business way helps some
body's town to grow. And here
is another fact to be remem-
bered: The boy follows the dol
lar. The father buys in the city
to save money. The boy goes to
the city to make money. The
community loses the dolIar-and
it loses the boy. Without the
dollar-without the boy-the
home community can not grow
and prosper. Kansas men and
Kansas women who love their
homes-who love their boys
should think on these things.
