In the circuit court last week the case of Thomas McComb against W. and resulted, after a very hard fought legal battle, in a verdict for the plaintiff, McComb. the case has been tried, the persist- ency with which it has been contest- the case, this has been one of the most remarkable civil cases ever tried in the courts of this county- The suit was brought upon a note executed by Ben Funk with M. J. Funk and W. C. Foster as sureties to Thomas McComb for £300, dated in 1886, with interest from date at the rate of ten per cent per annum. The interest was kept paid until about 1890 or 1891. The Funke left Bates county shortly after that and in 1893 suit was brought against Mr. Foster on the note, by Mr. Mo- Comb through 8. W. Dooley, as bis attorney. The firet trial resulted in a ver- dict for Foster, but upon appeal to the Court of Appeals the judgment was reversed and the cause remand- C. Foster was tried for the fifth | time before a jury in this county, In respect to the number of times} ed, and the number of lawyers in| | New Fire Chief. i At a meeting of the city council | Tuesday night, the nomination of | ly. L. Johnson for chief of the fire department, made by Mayor Clardy, was promptly confirmed. The new | chief has been a member of the fire ———— since its organization, | | and has always taken an enthusias- tic part. In the selection of Mr.) Johnson we believe the mayor has | made a most satisfactory appoint ment both to the members of the! company as well as the general pub-| lic, and his long service with the department certainly gives him the |necessary qualifications demanded in the discharge of the duties of the important office to which he has been called. Mr. Johnson is dep | uty postmaster and one of Butler's! most popular young men, and we! believe the community in which he has been raised will be proud to see him thus honored. As the new chief is a protege of this office the Trius is especially proud to see him be- come a useful and honored citizen. Bad Wreck, Three hilled. which has taken place in years with ed for new trial. Upon the second trial a verdict was again returned for defendant and again an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals where the judgment was again reversed. Then there were two trials in each of which the jury failed to agree. The county has no better man than Mr. Moles. The Rich Hill Review says C. C. McGennis, of that place, has pur- chased 400 head of 3 year old Pan- handle cattle, which will arrive about the tenth of April by special train. They will be put on pasture We understand the city officials propose to test the ordinance against the sale of cigarette papers with packages of tobacco. If the town ordinances cannot be enforced, it is useless to go to the expense of pass- ing and publishing them. If they are good they ought to be respected. J. B. March, who has been in the mercantile business in this city for several months, has boxed the rem- nant of his stock and we understand has decided to open a law office in Rockville. Mr. March is a graduate of the State University law depart. ment, is a bright young man and no doubt will do well in his profession at Rockville. The Ties wishes him success. Squire J. M. Hogan, of Adrian, gave the Tivgs a pleasant call Mon day and renewed. The Squire is one of Adrian’s most prominent citizens- He has held the office of Justice of the Peace for two successive terms, and last week was renominated by the democratic conyention for the third time. He has made a good and eompetent officer and will receive the full support of his party and be elected. The sale of the personal property of the estate of the late John Hoag- land, will take place at the residence of deceased, near Nyhart, March 23d. There isa large list of prop- erty to be sold, among which are 425 head of cattle, a lot of hoge, horses and mules, hay, corn and farm implements of all kinds. The sale will be one of the largest ever held in the county. At the populist township conven: tion held im this city last Saturday the following ticket was nominated. Trustee J. F. Meredith; Collector, W. T. Cole; Clerk and Assessor, J. P. McKee; Constable, C. W. Silvers; Justices, James Drysdale, T. N. Ervin, James Mosteller; Members of the township board, J. J. McKee, J. R. Baum. Tuesday the republicans held a township convention and nominated the follewing ticket. Collector, Walter Anderson, Assessor, John Deviney; Constable, Thoe. Evilsizer. | Francisco Brothers represented the defendant from the start and after the second reversal Mesers. W. L. Jarrott of Harrisonville, and Thon. W. Silvers of Butler, were called into the case by Foster and Mesers. Graves & Clark and Smith & Thurman for plaintiff, McComb, but prior to the last trial Mr. Dooley withdrew from the case, because, as we learn, of a misunderstanding with his client, Mr. McComb. After a trial lasting through Thursday and Friday the jury, as has been said, found a verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. McComb, and it is needless to say that he and his at- torneys are justly proud of their victory. We understand that tke judgment and costs will amount te nearly $2,000. The probabilities are that Mr. Fors ter will now take an appeal. An Illegal Tax. In ita effect upon the interests of tax payers of the country in general no case that has been tried ia the courts of this county recently is of so much importance as that of Jas. M. Williams against W. R. Farn ham, township collector of Hudson township, which grows out of the excessive levy of taxes made by the county court and township boards of Hudson township. In this State forty cents on the hundred dollars assessed valuation is the constitutional limit of taxes for county and township. For the year 1896 there was levied by the county court for eounty purposes thirty five cents on the hundred dol- lars and by the township board in Hudson township, ten cents for township tax and fifteen for road tax, making in all sixty cents instead of forty, as required by law. Mr. Williams paid his road tax, school and state tax and tendered to the collector enough money in addi- tion to his road tax to make forty cents on the one hundred dollars of his assessment, but the collector re- fused to take it, claiming that if there was any illegal assessment it was in the road tax and that Mr. Williams must still pay his forty cents cn the hundred dollars, which he refused to do and brought suit against the collector to restrain him from collecting the excese, paying into court what he claimed was due. Mr. Williams was represented by Smith & Thurman and Mr. Farn- ham by Mr. John Gilbreath of Ap-| pleton City.

Notice.—22 ealiber rifles made to | the Mo. Pacific railroad, occurred Monday night, two miles south of Hiawatha, Kansas. The accident was caused by the engine running into five head of horses. All the horses were kilied and the destruction of the entire train, with the exception of the sleeping car, was complete. The engine went about 75 yards after leaving the rails before it went iuto the ditch, and when it eiruck the ground, was turned end over end and the tender thrown on the opposite side of the track. The bag- gage and smoking cars and the first coach were completely wrecked. There were sixty-five passengers on the train beside the crew. The emoking car landed on top of the engine and most of the passengers in this car were badly scalded from escaping steam. The engineer, fireman and travel ing salesman were killed outright ani several passengers were more or less injured. Some of them may die. Criminal Court. Stella Martin,the notorious weman who was indicted by the grand jury for keeping a bawdy house,was plac- ed on trial Tuesday. After several witnesses had testified for the state and given most damaging evideace against her, she stopped further proceedings by arising and pleading quilty and threw herself on the mercy of the court, realizing that the evidence against her was so over- whelming that conviction was certain Judge Lay fined her $200 dollars, failing to pay which she was sent to jail for two months. Prosecuting Attorney Clark deserves great credit for his zeal and untizing efforts in bringing this notorious and long of- fending character to justice, and we congratulate him on his success in landing her behind the bars. No conyiction which has ever been se cured here has beer more heartily indorsed and appreicated by our people. Steila Martin has been a} standing disgrace and public bumil- | iation to the town for years,and now that she has been given her deserts and placed behind the bars, others of her class may as well giye Bates ing the law has passed. ment now means aconviction.

St. Joseph, Mo., March 14— “Either give me the whisky or I'll drink this,” exclaimed young Frank Lewis, as he stood before the bar of asaloon this afternoon holding a small phial in his hand and address ing the bar tender, who had asked him to pay for a round of drinks. The bartender did not see fit to for- give the account and young Lewis poured the contents of the three ounces of carbolic acid down hie throat. The bartender tried to pre- vent him, and some of the acid was spilled on his hands, burning them ina horrible manner. Lewis was carried into the police station, where he died in a few moments in horri- ble agony. His father resides at King City, Mo., and is one of the wealthy business men of this place.
