Court opened Monday with Judge
Westover on the bench and J. D.
Scott a ? reporter. Judge Harring
ton was expected here this week but
was holding court at Ainsworth ,
consequently he was relieved by
Judge Westover. The Judge is
looking as well as ever. There is
no time lost in disposal of cases
and only one case remains to be
heard today as we go to press and
that is a civil case in which the
county has no expense. Court
expenses have been unusually light
the past few years in Cherry Co.
Court adjourned today , Thurs
day evening. Pete Ladeaux was
sentenced to five years for horse
stealing. The Indinn who stole
Ben Hohson's horse plead gnilty
and was given one year. The
nvirro who plead guilty to stabbing
with intent to kill was given ono
year. Three other cases wore dis
missed without coming to trial.

"Roy rloober , a genial traveling
salesman , found himself without
an overcoat today noon when he
was ready to make a round of the
town. In place of his coat was
left a brand new overcoat that no
one claimed and Roy good natnred
ly put it on. Judge W. W. Wood
was absent minded at noon and
wore Roy's coat up to the court
house because it resembled a coat
he was in the habit of wearing but
whpn court adjourned the Judge
was fully at himself and couldn't
find his new coat , so thinking he
jhad boon so much wrapped up in
his case that he had forgotten his
coat , he sauntered down to the ho
tel as light hearted as a school boy
without : 'n overcoat. Rov was on
j
the lookout as the men filed in
fro'm court and spying Judge Wood
without an overcoat resolved that
t
he had found his man. Explana

got some Spanish Fl.at . ihV < d
Lnkp drug store and put some of
n into the water pail at school last
Thursday. Some of thp children
drink of the water and bpr-amc
very sick from the effects of it.
Others were warned by some who
knew that the water had been
"fixed , " not to drink of it. The
names given to us of the boys who
perpetrated this deed were Syl
vester Hagen , young Ammon , the
school teacher's boy , and young
Wagner , son of Win. Wagner.
The daughters of Edward Lewis ,
John Whillans and Mr. Young ,
each drank of the water and be
came sick. A girl by the name-of
Parks saw the boys put the stuff
into the water and young Rberhart
was asked by these boys to pur
chase Spanish Fly for them , but
refused and told his sister not to
drink the water at school nor to
take any of the boys' candy. The
VVhillans girl took a piece of the
candy but it didn't look jrood an-1
she threw it away. It is stated
that the boys have had the Spanish
Fly several weeks. Wp are in
formed that two of these boys put
in ten cents each and the other
purchased it at the drugstore.
The citizens of Wood lake are very
much incensed over the affair and
are anxious to have the offenders
punished to guard against future
outrages and to provide for the
afety of their children at school.
It is the duties of our officers to
:0ok : into this matter and to prose-
: ute the guilty ones.
