In debute, while the Plultsmoufh
squad did not win the pennant,
yet, the arguments advanced by
the debaters were excellent, and
in the contest at Weeping Water,
which was very close, Professor
Fogg staled that the argument of
John Kliner llallslroin was good
enough to go against any of the
debaters in the league.
And in taking a retrospect of
tho High school work for the year,
Principal Larson and the other
members of the faculty, as well as
Superintendent Abbott, are to be
congratulated on the excellent
things accomplished.

nearly a week, wherein Davis was
charged with !ir.t degree murder

named Strong, was sent to the
penitentiary from Cass county.

James Robertson's office discloses
that Davis was arraigned in the
court December 22, IS) 10, with a
co-defendant, Charles Peabody,
and both pleaded guilty to utter
ing a forged check of $5.90 on the
First National bank of Platts
mouth, with the name of Herman
Leefers, a prominent near-by
farmer, attached. The prisoners
were sentenced by Judge Travis
to a term of live years in the
penitentiary, and were taken to
the slate prison December 28,
1910.
The negro, Strong, was sent up

negro's throat before the guards
or anyone could prevent, and the
colored man died before reach
ing his cell.
In Ihe trial Davis pleaded self
defense, and the jury took his
version of the affair and on the
first, ballot more than half of Ihe
jury voted for acquittal and a few
ballots were taken before all voted
the same way. Since bis acquittal
members of the jury have in
terested themselves in his behalf
and a omve is on find, to pardon
Dav is. He was born in New Mex
ico; both his parents are dead.
His frank, open countenance and
manner on the trial and the youth
of (he accused won Ihe confidence
of the jury and caused some of
them to lake his case up with the
trial judge.
A special from Lincoln, under
dale of May 21, in reference to the
above case, says: Members of
the jury which tried Tom Davis,
Cuss county prisoner, who was
accused of murdering John SI rong
at the slate prison March 29 and
who after hearing Ihe evidence
in the case freed him from any
guilt, are now making a movement
to secure his pardon by the gov
ernor. '
Two of the members applied at
the office of Judge Stewart today
for information as to means of
laying the matter before the state
board of pardons. Other mem
bers of the jury will co-operate
vvilh them. Davis is but 22 years
old and is understood . to have
made an unusually favorable im
pression upon attorneys and
spectators who were attendants
at his trial.

Abe Branson Seriously Injured on
Missouri Pacific Tracks Near
Weeping Water.
Last Thursday morning as Abe
liransnu was coming up the rail
road track to work, he stepped off
of one track on which a freight
was beaded east, and then step
ped over to another track. This
was in the cut at the edge of
town, and it so happened that the
noise of the freight drowned the
noise of .the passenger; at any
rate, when he turned around to
look the passenger train was with
in six feet of him, and before he
could help himself, the train
helped him off.
The cow-catcher caught his
limbs at the ankle and his hip and
one side struck the engine. He
rolled off forty feet and struck on
his face and bead. There were
bruises on his body, fractured
ribs, a large abrasion on his fore
head and a severely wrenched
back. He was taken to Dr. Hun
gale's office for treatment. His
recovery will be slow. Weeping

Keep Your Dogs Tied.
Once in a while a court de
cision is loaded with horse sense
as well as law. A man in western
Kanass kept a fool dog that ran
out and barked at passing teams.
One day it scared a horse, which
ran away and seriously injured
the driver. The latter brought
suit for damages against the dog
owner and was awarded a sub
stantial sum. The case was
carried to the supreme court, and
that august tribunal sustained
the lower court, holding that the
man who keeps a savage or bark
ing dog is responsible for any
trouble it causes.

Entertainment at Busche Home.
From Saturday's Dally.
The Past Chiefs of the Degree
of Honor lodge had been invited
to iii'jet with Mrs. J. H. Busche,
near Cedar Creek yesterday. They
also had been invited to come
early in the morning and spend
tin; entire day. Consequently, as
early as 8 o'clock the ladies met
at the Streight & Streight's and
L. H. Kgenberger , stores, where
they chartered carryalls and drove
to the Ilusche home. Upon their
arrival there they were soon made
to feel at home and were enter
tained in a most delightful man
ner. At the noon hour they were
invited to the dining room, where
an elegant dinner awaited. It was
a dinner which Mrs. Husche only
knows best how to prepare and
one which the guests could not
fail to do ample justice. The aft
ernoon hours were devoted to a
social time, games and the like,
interspersed with a walk about
the farm. Before the departure
of the guests the hostess invited
them to partake of a delicious
supper, after which the ladies
made the return trip. We have it
confidentially from one of Ihe
ladies who was present that for
downright enjoyment this oc
casion was the best that she has
participated in for some time.
There were fourteen ladies in at
tendance. Poor Old Burlington!
