From wednesdays Daily,

After celebrating more than "a
hours the jury in the case of State
of Kansas against Roy Startzman,
charged with the theft of chickens
belonging to Daniel McBeth found
Startzman guilty Of grand larceny.
The sentence is from one to hve
years in the state penitcntiary. The
case probably will be appealed.
The case of Cora Swader against
the Kansas Flour Mills company for
$40, 900 damages went to the jury
for the third time today
The case of NOrthcutt against the
Union Pacific railroad came up be-
fore court was dismissed this even
ing. Bruce Barnett of Kansas City,
who represented Northcutt in the
two previous trails, was here for the
trial today as was 7. NJ. Lillard OF
Topeka who is retained with Hurd
& Hurd by the Union Pacific.
Northcutt was injured in 1917
while employed as brakeman ON the
Union Pacific road through this
county. On his regular run to Sa-
lima his foot was crushed while he
attempted to uncouple two freight
cars as the train was switching at
Solomon. Northcutt alleges that he
was obliged to step between the cars
to separate them owing to defec-
tive coupler. The railroad company
bases it's defense ON the fact that |,
has approved appliances ON its cars
and that the employees are instruct
ed never to step between the cars III

COURT, CROWDED
CHICKEN THEFT TRIAL DRAWS
BIGGEST CROWD IN YEARS
Roy Startxman Charged With Hav-
Ing Stolen zoo Fowls From
Daniel McBeth

The largest crowd which has filled
the court rooms for several years
made it hot and stuffy today while
long list of Witnesses testified in
the case of the State of Kansas
against Roy Startzman. Startzmah
is charged with having stolen chick
ems belonging to Daniel McBeth who
lives south of town. Hot men in
their working clothes and a scatter
ing of interested women filed the
seats in the court room or stood
around the wall. There were humOr-
GUS incidents in the examination Of
witnesses which gave frequent occa-
sion for the passing of a litter
through the crowd.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon exam
nation Of the witnesses for the
plaintiff had just been finished. The
testimony brought out the fact that
Mr.. McBeth had raised about 500
chickens each spring for several
years only to have hundred or
more stolen. A bull dog which had
protected the premises for a while
was poisoned and a few days later
the theft of the 200 chickens was
made, of which this charge against
Mr.. Startzman is the outcome. The
evidence against the defendant is
circumstantial and one the identifi-
cation Of some chickens he sold as
those which belonged to Mr.. McBeth
will probably hinge the decision in
the case.

BURTON FLAYS THE PRESS

Non-Partisan League

About $50 farmers attended the
Non Partisan league meeting at
Lindsborg last night. Former Sena-

has been no split in the league and
that the farmers will show the poll
ticians of the state that the organi-
cation Is no corpse. He stated that
the farmers should organize for the
same reason that doctors, lawyers
and wholesale merchants have their
non partisan organizations such as
the state medical association, the
state bar association and the whole
sale grocers' association. Fred Fra

most of his time in showing how
high freight rates are reducing the

that IL the league would get con-

cleverest musical comedy that has

weeks engagement last night at the
Bungalow Theatre. These clever
youngsters. all of whom are late of
the original postonians. who last
year made a Southern tour for the
Schuberts Of New York, are nothing
less than little wonders.
The way they handle practically
every musical instrument from a
bass violin to the flute. and the way
they put over their songs and
dancing numbers have all the ear
marks of big Time" Especial men
ton should be made of the @Silver
%Saxophone Sextette," a feature alone
that was decidedly clever. They open
their program with a selection from
one of the standard operas, followed
by the late popular numbers, both
vocal and instrumental. A special set
ting, together with novelty lighting
eff cts go to make the attractions
one of the best seen here this
season.

FOR TODAY ONLY MILDRED
HARRIS cHAPLAlN's COMEDY

In the perturbation of "Old Dad
the Eleanor Hallowell Abbott story,
starring Mildred Harris Chaplin, il
developed that Charlie Chaplin is not
the only member of the Chaplin
family who has the ability to ex-
tract laughs, according to the state
ment of Louis 3. Mayer, Mrs. Chap
Inns manager.
In choosing a director Mr.. Mayer
picked Lloyd %Ingraham, who, besides
being somewhat funny himself, has
a reputation for producing success
full comedies.
"Old Dad" is not a comedy in
any sense, however. But. Mr.. Ingra-
ham discovered that Mrs. Chaplin's
sense of humor is 0 fthe keenest
sort. Consequently he injected just
enough comical situations to keep
the story from becoming too heavy
and to permit the charming little
blond star to show her hitherto hid
den talent.
Mildred is going to stick with the
serious-minded drama, but that isn't
going to keep her from developing
a humorous situation every once in
a while, according to Mr.. Mayer.
