JUDGE BEGLEY HELD A
A BRIEF SESSION OF
DISTRICT COURT FRIDAY
"A rough house" is what spectators
at the house night session were
treated to Friday night. The osteo
paths and chiropractic regulation bills
were before tha house and all the
trouble was stirred up when op
ponents, few in number, tried to ad
journ to prevent consideration of the
bill. The house refused, and Peterson
of Lancaster started a filbuster which
raised a commotion, says the Lincom
Journal.
Members received an illustration of
what chiropractic can do for a person
when Kime of Cass made a speech,
his maiden effort, in which he explain
ed that, he had been on his back, the
chiropractors had come to him and
nelped him. In fact Mr. Kime made
several speeches which few could
hear, and had never tried to do be
fore he had been sick, and the chiro-
prators had treated him.
Kime Marten HKe a fcnot lrom a
gun when Hoffmeister jumped on
Frank Edgerton, attorney-lobbyist for
the chiropractors, declaring that this
gentleman could well afford to stay on
the job another day for his pay, and
pointing out that he was at the mo
ment on the floor. Mr. Kime took
exception to the remni-ks and made
a long speech to Hoffmeister, the
tones of his voice reaching only those
nearest-him, but the gestures being
very loud. Occasional remarks drift
ed out far enough to be caught. lie
considered that gratitude was the
finest thing in the world, and that Mr.
Edgerton and those who waited cn
him had been extremely fair. Mr.
Kime made other speeches, each short
and almost inaudible.

Ve have leceived a number of in-
q'drics from out in the country as to

The district court yesterday at its
c:;sion passed on a number of mat
ters, and in the case of Cass County
s. Carroll D. Quinton, case No. 6427,
die court found for the plaintiff in the
um of ?i.'l.G3, with interest from
late at 7 per cent. A motion of de-
'endant for a new trial was overruled,
as well as a motion of plaintiff to in-
rease amount of judgment. The costs
of the case will be divided equally,
each one paying their share.
In the case of William Dunn, et al.
vs. Eva Elliott, et al., on motion of
defendant, the court ordered the ten
ant on the farm under question, Dixie
Kirkpaif ick, to pay into the court all
rents due and owing within ten days,
