ing and rolling down the embankment.

ies as w ell as a broken rib and badly
bruised shoulder. Mrs. Whelan suffer
ed a severe wound in the head, a
sprained ankle, a bad contusion of the
eye and face as well as several scratch
es and bruises. Both women arrived

The Fidelity bank appreciates small
accounts. Do not carry the money
around in your pocket but put it in
your deposit at the bank each day and
check it out as needed. Men often
carry money in their pockets without
thinking of the benefit it would be to
the bank. If 100 men who carry $20
each in their pockets would all keep
this deposited and check as needed it
would mean $2,000 addstional of dol
lars deposits for the bank. There are
many thousands of dollars to-day in
the pockets and in the homes of our
friends that would be of value to the
bank and to the community if it were
deposited in the bank and put into
circulation in the community. Much
of this idle money is not purposely
withheld, but it is because these
friends have never thought of the
bank and community side of it. We
cordially invite you to carry an ac
count withjus however small it may
be. This will be of value to our
banks and of benefit to the the com
munity.

Find Skidmore Guilty.
The first round in the criminal pro
ceedings against the band of alleged
hog thieves at Atkinson resulted in a
victory for the state. The jury in the
case of Joseph Skidmore brought in a
verdict of guilty this evening, after
deliberating some four hours, asses
sing the value of the hogs stolen at
$80.
Skidmore, it appears from the evi
dence and the statement of one Wm.
Weller who was with the party at the
Ferguson ranch the night of February
25, was the instigator of the raid on
the Ferguson hog pen.
Four others are implicated in the
job, John Dibble, Frank McShane,
William Weller and Eoy Purnell.
Each of these defendants are to be
tried seperately, the arrangement
being to dispose of all four cases at the

ed for the state and E. E. Dickson for
the defense.

tucked the game away. Ewing has a
good team and, re-enforcrd, as they

Realistic Dreamer.
An intimate friend of a young mar
ried couple living in Pierce tells the
Gall editor the following good story on
the better half. Their life had been
the happiest ever since their marriage
several months ago, but a cloud had
married their perfect felicity. Then
one morning the young wife came
down to breakfast table morose and
wretched. She was snappish with
her husband. She would hardly speak
to him and for a long time she re
fused to explain her unwonted con
duct. Finally, though, the young
man insisted that lie be told why his
wife was treating him so badly, and
she looked up with tears in her eyes
and said: “John Smith, if I dream
again that you have kissed another
woman I won’t speak to you again as
long as I live! So there!”
