Judge Hutchinson Winds Up November
Term Of District coVt and De-
parts for Ida Grove.
CHARTER OAK CASE is ENDED
Pautsch Bros. Are Awarded Verdict
Against observation-disclosures
Sentenced 20 Fenitentiary.

Tie district court closed the Novem.
ber term the latter part OF last week,
Judge Hutchinson leaving here Friday
evening in order to be prepared to
open the Ida Grove term Monday of
this week.
The case of Pautsch Bros VS. Stein
kueller, tried during the term by a
jury. was decided in favor OF the plain
tiff. This was an action brought on
Il prOmissory note.
The case OF Lester Sutton & Sons
vs The J. p. Auto Co. came up for
trial the latter part of the previous
week and was concluded on Monday
last, the jury returning verdict In
favor of the defendant. This case
grew out of a transaction whereby the
CammerOn Car Co.. an automobile
manufacturing concern at Atica, o..
was IN need of money and applied to
the bank of Lester Sutton 4 Sons of
that place for aid. and not being able
to furnish other security it proposed
to turn over to the bank as security
some cars which were unfinished and
which could not be finished until the
) bank furnished the money to the COM
nany for that purpose. After the mon
ey was furnished the cars were COM
pleted and three of them sent to Char
ter Oak to the ]. p. Auto Co, being
consigned by the Cameron Car Co.
TO Lester Sutton 4 Sons. The bill OF
lading with sight draft attached was
sent to the First National Bank of
Charter Oak by Lester Sutton e Sons
for collection. While the cars were in
the possession of the railway company
they were injured to some extent and
the J. p. Auto Co. declined to accept
them. They then said they would &C.
ccpt them il they could be handled on
commission and this was agreed upon
and the cars were turned over into the
possession of the j. p. Auto Co.. and
have been held by them ever since
that time. When the auto company
would neither pay for the cars or dc.
liver them back, suit was accordingly
brought, but the jury concluded the
cars were not worth anything and rem.
dered. q, verdict, in favor Of the defend.
ant. IPhe plaintiff was handicapped
by reason Of the fact that it was a
banking institution in Ohio. while the
defendants lived here. 1t is almost

developed that his sermons were rare

the far east, the southland and Chi

city and mission churches. He was u
man of excellent education and this
was reflected in his sermons. which

GREAT YEAR IN TRAINING WORK
 ID bE CLOSED

feature of the Temne Normal school system which rightly occupies prominent place in all plans for the growth and general advancement of this great educational plant, is the training school. Beginning with kin dergarten work. and running through primary. intermediate and grammar grades. the school is conducted under the supervision of well trained and thoroughly competent critic teachers, who supervise the teaching corp of seniors. There is a double advantage in the system. first that the child nev- CT has a lesson presented in a faulty manner. Each days work in fact each lesson taught must be carefully plan ned by the senior and presented to the critic teacher for approval. then the work is done under the patient guid- ance of this same critic, thus assuIlug the child a lesson presented as only expert instructors would handle the work
 The second advantage is that each senior goes out prepared with a full years experience for teaching. This ac- counts for the popularity of Tempe graduates and the ease with which in the past those holding diplomas from this institution have been able to find lucrative positions. The training school, including the rural school. enrolled this year 135 boys and 172 girls.
 The following seventeen graduate from the eighth grade at the close of the present term:
 Bert Allen Beulah Bloys. Gertrude Goldman. Nettie Bowen, Alta Cook, Ada Hand, Gertrude Hamlet, Frieda Matthews. Pauline Pringle, Maude Saylor Emma Shahan, Ronald Teiter. Lucille Vance Frances Webb, Margaret Webb, Iral White.

JOHNSON
 NUT FORGOTTEN

Tempe Normal, together with it's hundreds j. alumni, and the host of students and friends who remember with sincere affection the kindly gen. tleman who had for so long been as sociated with the school as a member of the teaching body, was most sin cerely grieVed when the grim reaper removed from active duty Prof J. L. Johnson, teacher of vocal music.
 Mr, Johnson had ever been an earn est and enthusiastic believer in the ultimate destiny of the school and had given himself unstintedly to the development of the department which came under his care. His clear teach ing methods, so well adapted to the needs i the future teachers have found active results in the voice de- velopment of thousands of school children over the state. His ever ready sympathy, and yet his constant demand that his students put their best into the work. succeeded in bringing to high point of efficiency, those under his instruction. Tempe normal misses Prof. Johnson, misses his steady cooperation, his cautious ly given counsel and perhaps misses most of all the clear bell like tenor that rang through the halls like a clarion call to the duty of higher and nobler living. Farewell, good friend Well may We believe that in some fairer cline, your voice attuned even to sweeter note, may ring in har mony with the music Of the celestial sphere, and furnish inspiration to even greater deeds of love.
