For instance, we notice in one of the Kansas City dailies where Judge Phillips sustained a demurrer toa petition asking for damages re- sulting from a person being killed by | a railway collision, because the per- ‘gon was killed instantly. He would have to linger along several days in ; mental agony before the railroad eompany would be liable. Such nice distinctions are what is bringing the law into disrepute and the courts within the range of eriticism. Seems to us that life tenue of office is not what it was intended to be any way, and we will not be surprised at its abolition some of these days. The newsy correspondent from here for the Free Press, says that Billy Findley has 120 geese which he aims to keep awhile so as to get the feathers, and adds that it looks a lit- tle suspicious. Well now if Gretch- en suggests an early marriage for William we will assure her that he will have to ‘‘produce the feathers in court” before any of us will be- lieve it. Should it prove a success however, in his case, we will look for Sol Al Shaffer and Herman Heinburg | to have one of the biggest droves of | geese ever seen in these parts. In fact if geese could be kept in Butler we wouldn’t be surprised at Billy Morrison, Stewart Atcheson, Ed Dal- ton, Andy Deacon, John Francisco, Joe Graves and J Fletcher Smith all having big droves. Only one dan- ger gentlemen, they are death on any thing green. 8. Hume Items. | Township collector Jos Smith was in town Saturday raking in the shek- els from our people.
