Appealed to a Higher Court.

Col. Ike Boulware, of Galloway
county, a famous criminal lawyer in
his day, was once employed to defend
a case in which the charge was par
ticularly odious and unpopular; so
much so, indeed, that on the night be-
fore the case was to be called for
trial, mob broke into the jail, took
Col. Boulware's client out, and
hanged him to tree in front of the
court house. 1t was in old Judge
Burkhardt's circuit. Next morning
Col. Boulware appeared in court and
solemnly announced: IF your hon
or please, my, client has taken a
change of venue, and the case is now
beyond the jurisdiction of this court. :"
But Judge Burkhardt replied: THE
court thinks that the proceeding has
been improperly designated by coun-
sci. Col. Boulware your client has
not taken a change of venue; he has
taken al, appeal to a higher court. -

Draft boards have to listen to all
sorts of kicks from registrants who
think they have not been given the
proper classification, but the Henry
county board listened to a plumb new
kick last week. A travelling man
named Nichols, who was a man of
family, was placed in Class No. 2.
He appeared before the board and de-
manded that he be placed in Class I.
His wife was with him and signed an
affidavit waving her claims to his
exemption. The board is hoping for
a few more kicks of the same kind.

If anyone thinks that they have
hard luck, read what happened to a
Barton county man and cheer up.
Some years ago he was struck by
lightning. Later he was bitten by a
mad dog and had to take the Pasteur
treatment. He was beaten up by a
party of motorists that he had
stopped to help and during the row
his car was stolen. He had an en-
counter with hold-ups trying to rob
his stable. He was arrested charged
with stealing automobile tires. While
awaiting trial his house was dyna-
mited. Was convicted of stealing the
tires and sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary. Was paroled by the
judge on condition that he join the
army. While driving a team to a
grinding machine they became fright
ened and he was thrown into the
grinder and his right hand so badly
damaged that he could not get into
the army. The judge revoked his
parole and sent him to the pen, where
