1T WAS MEAN TRICK
Chase Co. Man Says Officers Took His
Liquor and Drank 1t.

Certain Chase county officials may
face custer suits. They have been
charged with breaking the bone dry
law by confscating seventy-two pints
of whisky and then drinking the Ii
quor before the eyes of the man from
whom it was taken. S. n. Hawkes.,
assistant attorney general, returned
today from Chase county where he
has been taking dispositions in the
case.
j. II. Bone of Hutchinson, was al
rested while passing thru Cottonwood
Falls in an automobile, en- route from
Kansas City. Se1enty-two pints of
whisky were found in his machine, he
was tried and convicted and sentenced
to thirty days in Jail and given a 500
fine. That much everyone agrees
upon.
The sheriff has testified as has an
other official that the liquor was de-
stroyed after it had been confiscated.
Bone and others disagree and have
sworn in dispositions that certain Of
ficials drank part of the liquor and
invited friends in to drink up the
remainder of it. Bone wrote friends
in Topeka of the alleged insult of
having his liquor going down some
other fellows throat while he was
spending thirty days in Jail for bring
ing it in. The letter was turned over
to the attorney generals office

NeighbOrhOOd Row Over Right
Of-Way Truck Patch.
Russian Woman and Black
smith Go to Court.
BOTH MAKE ASSAULT CHARGE
Man Says She Threw SlOp on
Him From Behind.
Woman Asserts He Bumped
Her With WheeIbarrOW.

Ever since garden truck was Plant
ed there has been a neighborhood row
on down near Second and Branner
over the use of a piece of street rail-
way right-of-way and the row has
rea ched the courts. According to the
testimony introduced before Judge r.
NJ Lee the row has involved all sorts
of assaults from humping with a
wheelbarrow to throwing water and
brickbats.
Mrs Karpis, a Russian woman. and
John Vetter. a blacksmith, live neigh
bors and each claims to have been
given prior rights for the use of the
right-of-way. That is the basis of
their troubles. Officials of the street
re>ilway company went on the stand
and stated that as a matter of fact
neither party had been given any spe-
cific rights to the piece of ground.
Notwithstanding that Vetter has
been using it for garden and grass
land and Mrs. Karpis has been using
it as a chicken run. Vetter objected
to the chickens and on numerous oc-
casions the police have been called to
queH a small sized riot due to the
Karpis flock.
Used Tools for Weapons.
On one occasion, Vetter testified,
Mrs KarpiS threatened to cut his nose
off and otherwise damage him
When Mrs. Karpis took the stand
she got even for that bit of testimony.
She declared that she was out in the
alley with two buckets of water for
her chickens-one in each hand
hen Vetter came along with a wheel
barrow and scythe going to the right
of-way in dispute and that he slipped
up behind her with the one-wheeled
vehicle and bumped her.
She admitted then that she set
down one bucket of water and after
i taking careful aim let the contents of
the other bucket fly at Vetter and that
she was reaching for the other bucket
when something interviewed.
Vetter declared things didn't hap
| pen that way at all. He declared he
was out in the right-of-Way making
| hay when Mrs. Vetter slipped up be-
| hind him with the two buckets and
| threw the contents at him. However
| he gave it as his private opinion that
| the buckets contained slop and not
water for the chickens.
1t SmelIcd Awful.
'It smelled awful" he said
Before it hit your clothes or
| after?" asked Tinkham Veale, attor-
ney for the other side.
Vetter was certain the fluid smelled
| badly both before and after After the
! fluid was exhausted Vetter said Mrs
Karpis heaved brickbats at him, but
when he was asked to show cuts OF
| bruises he had none.
Anyway Vetter had Mrs. Karpis ar
rested and Judge Lee. after hearing
all the testimony took the case I'M
| der advisement and gave the parties a
| lecture. Whether that ends the case
! probably depends upon the future con-
| duct of Mr.. Vetter and Mrs. Karpis.

MEANING OF $1,000. OOO, 900.
Spent at a Dollar Minute, 1t Would
Last 1888 Years.

Americas war loan of s7,O0O,OOO,-
600 surpasses the powers of the mind
to grasp, Thomas F. Logan writes in
Leslie's. Spent at the rate of 81 a
minute it would take 1888 years to
dispose of the appropriation. Loaned
out at per cent, $13 could be spent
every second for an indefinite period
without touching the principal.
Converted into silver dollars, the
coined pieces laid end to end would
reach more than four times around
the earth at the equator. Piled on
top of one another, these silver dol
lars would extend nearly 500 miles in
the air. Made into dollar bills, they
would cover 1850 acres.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses of
the government less than half a CEN
fury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the gov
eminent for fully seven years, on the
basis of the annual expenditures for
the last decade.
Another and more cheerful way of
looking at the situation is that, great
as the loan is, the wealth of the
United States is such that it amounts
to the lending of 81 out of every $40
of our existing tangible resources. A
p-Iny a day saved by every inhabit-
ant would cancel the principal within
twenty years.
