Sold Mortgaged Property and Lands in Jail. O. H. Beebe, sixty-five or seventy years of age and-an old soldier, liv- i ilea west of town, has got. ten himself into a serious scrape by attempting to defraud his creditors, by selling a pair of mules which he, had mortgaged to Cannon & Weiner. Mr. Beebe sold the mules to Robert Pierson at Rich Hill for $135 andleft the county. Mr. Pierson,as soon as he learned he had bought mortgaged property, swore out @ warrant for the arrest of Beebe. The warrant was placed in the hands of Sheriff Smith, who in a few days located his man at Manhatten, Kansas. Sheriff Smith took a train, and arriving in the Kansas town, found his man at the home of his daughter about six miles in the country. Sheriff Smith told the old man what he wanted, and Beebe returned with him without the trouble of requisition papers, They arrived home Saturday night, and Beebe was locked in jail. It is learned since his arrest that The case of the State against Rice for killing Butler, set-for trial Tues- day was postponed on application of the defense until the June term of court. A special jury had been sub- penaed by the sheriff, and the State was ready for trial, but absent wit- nesses on the part of the defense it was claimed could not be gotten here, and the case went over. Judge J. W. McFadden favored us with a business call on Saturday, and had his dates set ahead. Judge McFadden has presided at only one term of court, but gave promise of shaking up the dry bones. He is one of our best business men and will make a Presiding Judge second to none the county ever had. A Central Protective Association was organized in Passaic last week. That is a step in the right direction It more lodges were organized, there Beebe had multiplied mortgages on would be less crime.
