DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS.
The criminal case of the State
against Udey went to the jury last
Thursday afternoon at about 4 o’clock
and the jury returned a verdict of
not guilty about 10 o’clock that night
and the defendant was discharged.
A jury was then empaneled in the
second criminal case of the State vs.
Frederick A. Benjamin, ch”. -ged with
shooting and injuring some horses
-’longing to Patrick Kennedy, a
neighbor. The State introduced tes
timony tending to show that on the
morning the offense was alleged to
have occurred, Kennedy was called
up over the ’phone by Benjamin and
was told his horses were in his corn
fodder pile. Kennedy sent his son
after them and on driving them dis
covered that four of them had been
tilled with shot, two of the horses
afterwards went blind in one eye as
a result of it. Kennedy tracked his
horses to the pile of corn fodder and
about thirty yards of it, discovered
spots of blood in the snow. The de
fendant denied having shot at them,
and he was corroborated by the tes
timony of his wife. The jury re
turned a verdict of not guilty.
The case of the Lexington National
Bank of Lexington, Tennessee vs.
Grimes, Brothers and Bogart, was the
next case. The defendants, in 1917,
were engaged in the mercantile busi
ness at Chambers, and a firm styled
the Partin Manufacturing Company
undertook and agreed to put on a
saj£ TdT tltgftt 5ft TffilTftft prISt?
to be given away, among them an
automobile. The defendant signed
six notes of $150.00 each as a con
sideration for the Partin people
putting on the sales contest. The
Partin people failed to send advance
agents as they agreed and failed to
send the automobile. The Tennessee
Bank claims to have purchased the
notes in good faith and was there
fore an innocent holder. The evi
dence was conflicting as to the in
dorsement on the notes, and the jury
found in favor of the defendant.
Court adjourned Saturday afternoon
until Monday morning and most of
the jurymen had an opportunity to go
home for Sunday, returning Monday
morning at 10 o’clock.
I he first case Monday morning was
Gottchalk ^s. Holt County. This case
grows out of a claim filed by the
plaintiff against the county for labor
done on a bridge over Cottonwood
gulch, located north of Stuart. There
are several claims against the county
for labor and material in the con
struction of this bridge which have
been rejected by the County Board,
and they have been consolidated or
rather it has been agreed that a de
cision in one case may decide all the
others. The County Board has em
ployed J. J. Harrington to try the
case for the county, while Mr. J. A.
Donohoe represents the claimant as
sisted by J. I). Cronin and I). L. Jou
venat. There is a nice law question in
this case. Under the law, the County
Board is required to advertise for bids
for the building of bridges that cost
more than five hundred dollars. In
this particular instance, no bids were
advertised for, and Henry Bausch,
then a member of the Board from the
district where this bridge is located,,
went ahead and built the bridge.
When the bridge was completed and
the claims filed, the Board discovered
they could not legally pay them, so
they were all rejected, except a few
claims, and they are up in district
court for adjustment. —
The fact that the board of super
visors allowed some of the claims
proved to be a Very im
portant factor in the case, as the
plaintiff claims that this was a ratifi
cation of the acts of Supervisor
Bausch. This chijm on the part of
Judge Dickson, as he instructed the
jury that if they found that the Board
had allowed some of the claims aris
ing out of this transaction, and at the
time they did so, they knew Bausch
had exceeded his authority, then they
should find for the plaintiff. The jury
were sent out Wednesday TTOfrttrtg Sttd i
returned a verdict after dinner onj
Wednesday finding in favor of the!
plaintiff and allowed his claim which
amounted to $181.30.
The case of Decker vs. Udey, a suit
over the rent of a farm, was then
called and was occupying the attention
of the court as we go to press. Court
adjourned Wednesday evening until
Friday morning to allow the jurors to
go home for Thanksgiving.

During the past week there has
been many losses among cattle from

Calves are very susceptible and
frequently affected, the disease often
taking an acute form with a sudden
onset (characterized by mental difcu
turbance, excitability and show a
staggering gait, accompanied by
bawling and rolling of the eyeballs,
followed by death within a short
time. Other cases show a loss of ap
petite, difficulty in swallowing and
quickened heavy breathing. Symp
toms of pluero-pneumonia may be
present, as many cases are affected in
this manner. The connective tissues
beneath the skin may become dis
tended with a jelly-like fluid or ex
udate, causing swelling of the throat,
neck or legs. Saliva will be noticed
dripping from the mouth. There may
be a bloody discharge from the nose.
Diarrhoea is frequently present and
the discharge is streaked with blood.
There is a rapid loss of flesh. In
acute cases death generally results in
from one to seven days. In chronic
cases th”5 animal may live three or
four months. They show progressive
lass of flesh, bloody urine, persistent
diarrhoea and sometimes partial par
alysis especially of the hind quarters.
The animal remains down and soon
dies.

II Budget Plan will bring/
the New Edison this XinasP
%
npHIS is the time of the year when our Budget
Plan is most helpful. You ought to come in
right away and find out what it can do for you.
;■ i
In the first place, it will put a New Edison beside
your Christmas tree, (how the family will rejoice!)
In the second place, it will stretch your Christmas
dollar so that you’ll hardly feel the purchase.
The Budget Plan treats the New Edison as an
essential of life, such as a home, and arranges
payments on the sound “time” principle. It com
bines modem business practice with thrift. '
This way of treating a dollar actually makes it go
farther. Let us explain how the Budget Plan
brings the longed-for New Edison for what an'
I extremely ordinary gift would cost,—and makes
1921 thrift pay for the balance.
