Lake Jan. 5 at 1 o'clock D. m. with

1t will be remembered that the
body of ex-banker Jess Arnot of
Glasgow was found pm top of a
rubbish pile in the basement half
burned up. Mrs. Arnot was later
accused of murder and sent to an
insane institution.
About investigation of this case
Joe Hooking had printed an edi-
torial in The Glasgow Courier of
Feb. IL, with the result that Eric
o. Evered, the investigator started
a $4,000 libel suit against Joe
Hooking, the editor.
Last week this libel suit was
decided on by the jury in favor of
Joe Hooking on all points. The
trial turned out to be an unusual
lively one. We quote the Courier:
The verdict was returned at
1854 Wednesday night, closing the
trial which began the preceding
Thursday morning and which was
characterized as one of the most
unique and bitterly fought in the
county's history.
Not only did the trial often
bring clashes between George
Hurd, Evered's attorney, and a
number of witnesses on the stand
but it resulted in two physical
encounters.
The first was Saturday when
James T. Shea accused in Evered's
reports of being the murderer Of
Jesse Arnot, attacked Evered.
Witnesses said Shea uttered no
threat as he jumped at E vered
just after the af7erq en- session Ct
court adjourned. Evered wa
thrown among chairs in the jury
box and his face was bruised. The
men were separated at once. Shea
was taken to the court chambers

HOLIDAY MEET
HELD AT FROD

Last Saturday farmers and the
business men packed the hall at
Froid to listen to the report Of
Carl McCabe, the Froid delegate
sent to the Farmers Conference at
Washington.
Many had snickered at the idea
of sending this delegate, but after
Carl got thru speaking these peo-
pie felt that Roosevelt county
should have sent a truckload in
stead of just one. Carl told how
this trip had opened his eyes, and
that he would not have missed it
for anything, how different it
would be if every farmer could see
what he had saw on this trip.
He told them about, the soup
lines, where soup not fit to eat
was handed out to starving chill
dren and grown ups. Told about
people everywhere living in mis-
cry and on miserable charity. He
praised the workers of Chicago for
the way they had treated the
farmers, praised them for being so
well organized that the police
hesitated in bucking up against
them.
The farmers conference was a
success and every delegate went
home determined to make their or
ganizatiOn an active and real live
one. But Carl also told the audi
enee not to have any confidence in
our Washington politicians, from
what he had ssen and heard of
them he was thoroughly Disguised
with the bunch and expected not
a thing from them.
