W. H. Lowder of New Home town- ship, was in Butler Monday meeting friends. Mr. Lowder, who is a can- didate for the Democratic nomination for judge of the southern district, isa gentleman of exceptional ability and is well posted regarding county af- fairs. While conservative in his views, he is broad minded, courteous and most accomodating, and there i 8 probably no man in the southern dis+| trict who would give the duties of the office more careful, conscientious con- sideration. He belongs to no clique or political faction, but all his life has worked for the best insterests of his party. He hasa host of friends through out the county who will take great pleasure in giving him their loyal, un- swerving support: Wilson’s Mexican Policy. Below is one of the greatest tri- butes to a man we have ever read. It| is from the pen of William Allen| White, the great Republican editor of Kansas. It deals with President Wil- son and his Mexican policy, this way: “How well he seems to have ‘man- aged it—this whole sordid business of going to war; how-fair he has been; how infinitely gentle and kind. No bluster, no threats, no snicker of anticipated, no licking of the nation’s chop’s—just a simple-souled, brave, soft hearted, hard-headed man. It is sad enough to go into war of any kind at any time; but it is less sad to go knowing that every honorable means has been taken to keep away from war. And this consolation Pres- ident Wilson has given us by his wise, forbearing Christian attitude at- titude before the provocation of a foe mad, desperate and foolish. The good God, who knows all and watches over all, and sees all, and directs all, was in our hearts deeper than we knew when as a nation we chose this great serene soul to lead us.’’—-Dex- ter Messenger. SHEEP AND ‘WOOL. The advocates of a high protective tariffin this part of the State who have so industriously prophesied an- nihilation of the sheep and wool in- dustry may as well draw in their horns. Their arguments have been refuted and their wailings set - at naught. Spring lambs sold in Butler this week at from $7.25 to $7.35, the high- est prices within the memory of the writer and possibly the highest price on record. It might be well to add that wool is five cents higher than last year. Take Notice. All brothers and their families and friends-are askea to attend the Mem- orial Decoration Day of K. of P.

The | The paper was given the man and he wrote a note. “Now, let me have a drink_of-the best whiskey you have in stock, ” said the stranger.

SHEAD CASE OPENS. ° Taking of State's Testimony Began Wednesday. Eleven Farmers and One Carpenter on Jury. The first witnesses for the State in the trial of John Shead, charged with the killing -of Constable Sam Queen at Rich Hill were heard Wed- nesday and in all probability another day will be required for the State to get in all its testimony. The opening gun in the case was fired the latter part of last week when the defense filed a motion to disquali- fy the sheriff. The motion was over- ruled by the court and the sheriff sixty men in addition to the Pom Bian panel. Monday and Tuesday were taken up in qualifying twelve men and the following gentlemen were finally selected. E. A. Porter, Deer Creek, farmer. Ed Hunt, East Boone, farmer. A. W. Shay, Lone Oak, farmer. W. T. Miller, Summit, farmer. R. D. Reeder, Deer Creek, retired farmer. U. G. Blankenship, Grand River, farmer. W. J. Middleton, Mingo, farmer. T. K. Staley, Mingo, farmer. H. A. Harrison, Grand River, far- mer. J. H. Thompson, Mingo, carpenter. J. E. Owens, Grand River, farmer. A. C. Abbott, Shawnee, farmer. The actual taking of testimony was not begun until Wednesday morning when the first of the witnesses were called to the stand. The prosecution ;has made out a strong” case against Shead. - Just what line of defense Shead’s attorneys will make remains to be Seen as no hint of what they will at- |tempt to establish has been made public. The defense made no state- ment at the opening of the case, but made later. i Witnesses for the State testified Wednesday that Dale Jones, Queen’s prisoner: who was liberated when Queen was killed was an associate of Shead; that Shead and Jones were the parties who abandoned the Hor-. ton automobile near Rich Hill, for the theft of which Jones was under ar- rest when Queen was killed; that Shead in a conversation admitted that he and Jones were in Hume togéthér® when Jones was arrested; that Shead was in Rich Hill on the day tl at Queen was killed. A number of witnesses testified as to the whereabouts of the two men both before and after the shooting. Two witnesses who were on the car when Queen was killed stated that they belived Shead to be the man who did the shooting. The history of the case is as fol- lows: On Sunday night, November 23d, 1913, Constable Sam Queen boarded the forth bound Missouri Pacific pas- senger at Rich Hill, having in custody Dale Jones whom he had arrested in Hume upon a charge of stealing C. H. Horton’s automobile. When the train stopped in the north end of the yards at Rich Hill, a man got on the front of the smoker and ordering Queen to throw up his -hands, shot him, Queen dying several days later. Thé man who did the shooting and Jones, escaped. Suspicion pointed to Shead'and he. was arrested some time afterward in Kansas City. Jones was recaptured later and is now in | jail here. M. E.
