"I want to accept that challenge, " he said, after it had been put. int i words on the floor by Webster cf Hurt county.

Snow declared that under the pres ent law a man is innocent until he is guilty, but under this law a man is made guilty until he proves him self innocent. Rodman and Snow both charged that this was the first time that an appropriation by the-stato legislature was used to lobby for a bill at the next, session. They charged that of the appropriation that was innoentr ly iii-jde by the la1 1 legislature a sum of $15,000 had Leon u:;ed t propagandize the Mate and lobby the censorship biil through the leg islature. .Wcraen Stay Till End.

Omaha doctor convicted of the charge of an unlawful operation in the death of Miss h Aver, a tweuiv Mar obi girl fnni Hayes Center, has had briefs :':!e! in supreme court in support of his r la im that he is entitled to a new tri .'. The girl soueht the aid of the phvsician as the re-ult of relations v:'h F. W. Alexander, her allianced : nd against the bitter's advice. She ol i-'cted to niarrvirtg because she wi hed to take training for nursing : nd de: ired that he linisii his school. Vhe testimony was that t'ey called cn a do. ; or in Omaha who refused ? do v. hat the girl asked, but gave b.er an cilice room number in the tame building where she might sc U!': the aid she lirsired. Fields ob jects. to this testimony having been i dmit'ted on the ground that it is hearsay. The doctor insists that he has dis covered evidence since, the trial that the girl "n 1.-1 been operated upon be fore she came to him. These are af fidavits from women who claim to have talked with the girl before she went to the doctor ;ind who were told by her that she bad herself .'ought to relieve lor condition. nother ground relied upon is the ; dr.i-sion by the lower court of the testimony of Dr. Strickland, who gave the anaesthetic to the Ayer girl, that he acted in the same capacity for Fields tit other curetment operations. Th:--. i: as-erted to have been highly prejudicial. Strickland's testimony was instrumental in causing the con vietion, as lie said he gave the ether th.- night the state charges. Fields .ays it was the next day. The doctor's counsel also charges as error of the lower corrt the permis ien given the jury, after it had been out for a number of hours, to have ac s to the letter written by the girl to Alexander, telling him of what i was about to do.

M-JS-M-M-M-I-IK-M- ELMWOOD Leader-Echo 41 On Saturday Mrs. Lodge Caygill who was taken very sick with ap pendicitis was taken to Lincoln, where she underwent an operation Monday. The operation was success ful and at the present time she is getting along nicely. Henry Clapp, Jr.. purchased some fine spotted Poland China brood sows at the O. J. May hog sale held at Rennet t. He purchased four of them and they are of the very best nglish breeding strains. Henry has decided to specialize in the spotted Pol amis and we predict big success for him. On 1 uesday morning Henry Bragg received word from Louisville that be was grandpa again, a fine little daughter having been born on Mon day evening to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stohlinan. No wonder Henry had a big rmile on his face Tuesday. Mrs. Stohlman was formerly Letlie Bragg. The Kim wood mill and elevator will be in operation again March 7 an I will handle grain and flour and mill feeds. They will mill the "Gui de:! Gate" and have also adopted a new brand to be known as "The Pri.le of Elmwood." They will use what is known as fowl sack. The new repairs to the big engine are being put in this week and the mill j will be in operation at once. The Kunz Brothers took charge of the Long garage, which they recent ly purchased and are-ready to look after all business in their line. They will have a complete repair depart ment and aside from this are to handle the excellent Ruick line of autos. The garage has been thor oughly completed and is indeed a fine one. Mr. Long will remain in Elmwood, but has not made known what he intends doing. evening for Haxtuni. Colorado, to look after some business matters and dispose of some personal property. This will be a difficult trip for Mrs. Carter as it will be hard for her to go back to the home she left some two and a half months ago under such trying circumstances. Mrs. Hattie Dufneld received the sad news Tuesday night of the death of her little granddaughter, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Wynn of Shelby, Iowa. The little girl was just learning to walk and was pull ing the baby buggy walking back wards and backed into a pan of hot water which the mother was goine to use to scrub the floor with. The pan of water was in an adjoining room ,and the child backed right through the door and was so badly scalded she died next day. Our fire boys have their new fire truck ready for business, that is, it is complete with the "exception of a coat of paint. The fellows are cer tainly deserving of much credit in their efforts to equip themselves with this modern fire fighting ap paratus with their limited financial aid. They became tired of pulling the chemical engine and hose cart by hand so they planned the new lire truck and bought a Ford ton truck which they have had over hauled and a body built suitable to carry the chemical engine and the hose reel and necessary tools and equipment. The cost of the truck, body, etc., amounts to approximate ly $345, besides what work and ma terial has "been donated by the fir-! company boys and others. The bos took up a subscription among citi zens of the town and raised from this source some $2S5. which leavej a balance of $(!0 that should be taken care of at once by people of thu town and community. KETUEKS TO HEE H0M3 Miss Lillian Murphy, who has been quite ill at the hospital in Omaha for the past several weeks has shown very satisfactory progress and was able to return home Saturday and will remain here during her recu peration from her illness.
