Squire Trozeil had an assault and battery case from Fair Oaks Thursday night, the prosecuting witnesses being Wm. V. Tolley and against George Lambert, charging him with jerking, pulling and pushing one Bertha A. Tolley, witnesses wife. The prisoner was acquitted. The trouble arose over some wagon wheels. There are upwards of forty case of typhoid fever in and about Goodland, and it is thought by some that the epidemic has been caused from drinking red lemonade at the Wallace circus, which showed there recently. The water ÜBed in making the lemonade is said to have been brought there in tanks from their last show stand. The Herald says, however, that the alleys and vacant lots in the town need cleaning up badly, which might perhaps account for the cases in town but'would hardly apply to those in the sorrounding country. Thus far no deaths have occurred, we understand.
