( h _ _ _ .L. . _ . _ Last Friday might a number of Falls City Odd Fellows attended the lodge at Salem and thereby hangs a tale. They returned about midnight and it seems that Vet Simanton was plodding thoughtfully . his way in the direction of Sunnysic1e when his attention was attracted by what I seemed to be the rapid discharge of fr . ! arms ri rht clown in the heart of the city. For a moment 1\lr. Simanton stood irr . solute and then the firing increased in rapid- ity and he imagined that all the banks in the city was being rob- bed simultaneously , or the prison- ers in the county jail had muti- nied , or in short , there wts "something doing. " His desire to be on the firing line where bullets were , whistling merrilly , lead him to turn and advance at double { quick , his pocket knife open in his hand. When he reached the business center of the city he learned to his great disappointment - appointment that the , explosions were caused by the exhaust of the gasoline engine in thc Tribune office. He there upon beat an orderly retreat and we don't know exactly how the story leaked out. Mrs E. E. Haskins , accom- panied by her sister , left Sunday for Michigan in response to a telegram announcing the serious illness ! ? of their mother. Mrs . Barbara Custer left Monday - day for a visit with her daughter , \lrs. Robt. Norton , of Colorado Springs. John Oswald has been confined to his home this week by an at- tack of in.l1ammatory rhnematism. r . . . - , . . , . . . . . . . . - . , c I - ' ; - - -dPfS " : - : pointed John C. Martin , . 'ji : 1 His Court Reporter. ; i ' ' - The charge was made during _ JI , the late judicial campaign that ; ; . the democratic party would re- .4 ward Mr. Martin : for hip service , . f and the prediction has proven ; ! corn'ct. Concerning this appointment : pointmettt true republicans will . 10 ' think that the reward is not too ' 1 ' ' great for the services performed. ; This late rcrwas certainly worthy 'J of his hirc. " The appointment of a repuhli- ' ' I canstcnographer by a democratic , ; judge , is , we believe , without ' ' . I precedent < in this or any other { ; ' 'I district. There arc in this end , . ' , of the district plenty of deserving young democrats to whom this ' appointment should logically 'I have gone , and the fact that such has not been its case cannot be ' . swallowed b\ . the honest demo- t crats . of the district without a n ; : : ii " 'I questIon. ; f The methods that were used to ' : elect Judge Kelhigar and the ' \ot' ' 'J subsetluent appointment of J. 'c , Martin . solves several mysteries 'i ' : . , : connected'withthe ' judicial com- paign and explains a whole lot of thing-so The tears shed for John { , . Burliegh' al may have been ; drawn forth by'.the sight of a vanishing job. Who knows ? Keep the judiciary pure ! ! ! William Wey of Gu'man , K.as. , 1 is in the city visiting his sister , : 1\Irs.
