The case otH. E. Stone against the First National Bank was on trial before a jury in Judge Ray's court 3-esterday. Stone owed the bank money and presented a check - of $232 at the bank to be cashed.

Quite a stir was created in town Sunday night by the report that tramps had attempted to hold up a farmer north of the river, and that the farmer had shot and killed one of the tramps. Investigation proved the story incorrect, but brought out the following incident: A farmer named Butterfield, living in Cox precinct, was coming to town with a wagon, and when north of town met two boys named Gutherless and Pitt man who asked Butterfield for a ride into town. Having on a heavy load the latter refused, whereupon the boys be came abusive and told Butterfield that if he would get 011 1 of the wagon they would fight him. Butterfield started to get out and at the same time picked up a shotgun he had in the wagon. The boys ran, and when the latter were about forty yards awa' Butterfield fired at them. Three shot hitPittman, two entering his right arm and one the lobe of his ear. Butterfied came into town and reported the occurence to the officers, and not knowing whether he had seriously wounded the boys, was very much excited. Sheriff Miller went out to look up the boys and found Pittman on the road enroute to town. He was brought to jail by the sheriff and a doctor rendered the little medical aid necessary.
