About three weeks ago , Edward Schwarz tnis-ed a mure mid colt from his bunch and Is-K'in to Miake inquires for them. After considerable hunting the colt was found in a pasture a few miles northwest of town and it was re ported that the mare had been seen in the posNcssion of Frank Zerbst, a lad of about twenty years of age. Schwarz got out a wrrrant and placed it in the hands of feheritr Bartlett and together they went to the ranch of W. A. Bmelow on Sheep creek. There the boy and the horse were found. They were brought to Harrison and the pris oner tiikeu tafore Justice Sniuck for examination. County Attorney Guth rie apeared for the prosecution and W. O. Patterson for the defense. By agree ment the case was continued until Fri day and the court (ixe I he bond at three hundred dollars and as the prisoner was unable to furnish security he was remanded to jail. From wh.il cuo be learned the outlook is pretty good lor the youth making a trip over the road either to the reform school or the penitentiary, us he has ad mitted the taking of the annual. If he is guilty of the charge and will make that plea in court il would be the best for him and also lor the county if a special term of court can be held and the case disposed of ins'ead of waiting for the regular term of court in Novemlwr. School will begin next Monday. Hon. Norris Brown, of Keurney, came on Wednesday to hieak, but a number having gone from town lo the state fair, and llie day being rainy peo ple did not come in from the country, so no attempt was made to hold a meeting.

Superintendent Davis fne:m! to think that the writer has done him an injus tice in regard to the certillcates which have been under discussion for gome weeks for the reason that I he state 'superintendent tave it as his opinion i " that the certillcates are valid. The writer conlen Is to the contrary and has for his reasons the law which was quot ed in the columns, the iction of Mr. lavi 1HU4, and the opinions of good at torney, one of whom was so positive that he expressed himself as willing to stake his life that the courts would not sustain the state superintendent, and the recent decision of the United States su preme court has been referred to where in the statement was made that the duty of a public official was to endeavor to carry out the provisions of the law, not to seek ways to avoid the law. The writer does not believe that the honest, law-abiding people consider that any official i.s so high that it is out of the way to have acts which appear ille gal or irregular shown up or criticized, for a public odlcial is not a master but a servant of the people. Under tlie circumstances the matter can be discussed back and forth for an indefinite time without accomplishing a thing. In order to have matter deter mined the writer submits the following proposition: Let Superintendent Davis have a test case made on the validity of one of the certillcates in question. Let the case be submitted to the court on stipulation agreed to by Mr. Davis and the writer, that no delays r.eed occur, and a com plete showing 1m3 made to the court. If the (inal lecision sustains the action of Mr. Ixivis the writer will pay the costs in the case and publicly acknowledge his error, and if the courts hold that the contention of the writer was correct then Mr. i-iavis shall pay the costs and publicly acknowledge his error and make such restitution to the teachers as the finding of the court should direct. If that proposition is not fair and fur nishing the most certain way to deter mine who is right in the matter the writer is unable to formulate such an one. Look at This List of western cities: .
