Drew Gun to Defend a Sack of Chickens.

Ayr, were arraigned in Justice Mock's court Monday charged with drawing a gun on Randolph Wright, Alex Waltbach and one of the Halstead boys Sunday morning.

Waltbach testified at the trial that he had a lot of chickens stolen a few days before, and on Sunday morning had invited Wright to accompany him on a little expedition in search of _ the same. _ They had crossed the field in the direction of the place where the Austrians lived, and as they approached the road the

Austrians drew a gun and demanded them to hold up their hands. The Austrians testified that one of them had been in Rensselaer Saturday night and the other at Mt.

They could not explain why they drew a gun on the two men in defense of some chickens which they claimed they had found, so Judge Mock put two and two together and imposed the tine as above noted.— Kentland Enterprise,

HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

Remington’s fine new Carnegie library is about completed. It is a very handsome building and is a credit to the town. Ephriam Sell, an old citizen and for many years a well known business man of Kentland, died at his home in that city -Monday, aged 61 years.

The following persons, candidates for nomination before the March .primary, failed to file their itemized statements of expenses as required by the Corrupt Practice Act and were certified to. by the clerk of the circuit court to Prosecuting Attorney Brockway for prosecution: Thomas J. Melvin,, Lincoln M. Fraser, Charles G. Carlson, Charles C. Dawson, Fern W. Kerr, John W. Duncan. Sidney L. Chaffee and R. W. Hufford.—Monticello Herald. The political downfall of Charles Murphy in the district was followed more quickly than one would have expected by his complete elimination from official life. It is not strange, because Mr. Murphy’s political philosophy was "quick returns, and let the future take care of itself.” Any promise he could make today to get results was quickly made, it did not matter whgt would have happened tomorrow. He broke into Benton county affairs by promising to make Mike Duffy a congressman, and by the lure of post office and other promised jobs built up a following who have been willing to trade advantages to Murphy at any and all times. He proposed to cast Benton county’s vote in all conventions where it would do Murphy the most good. If necessary he did not hesitate to put over an Infamous job like throwing pail of the Benton county delegation out of the state convention two years ago, nor to have our chairman break his pledges as at Kentland three weeks ago. Murphy is out, and should be a warning to would-be bosses. Murphy tactics may win for a time, but they lead to eventual political ruin.—Benton Review.
