Heintz and Pollock k Oa -Saturday last Charles Immick, stealing hie employer's cnarged with horse,' Creston township, this county, was arraigned in Justice Curtis' court for preliminary examination. Be entered a plea of not guilty, waived examination and was bound over to the district court in the sum of $400, in defanlt of which he was committed to jail. He denies his name and when naked what his real name was said be, didn't believe anyone could tell what it was. It has since been learned that the Kilpatrick family at Madison were his foster parents. The Gny C. Barnum case came up for hearing ia the district coart Wednes dsy last and occupied the attention of the court for two days. The case is well known to most of our readers, in which Mr. Barnum resists by appeal the appointment of a guardian, the appoint ment having been made by the county court last summer on the grounds of insanity and extreme old age, the com missioners of insanity later pronouncing Mr. Barnum of sound mind. After the examination of numerous witnesses pro and con the jury rendered a verdict to the effect that they believed Mr. Barnum to be of Bound mind bnt incapable of looking after his large property interests. The first concert of the winter given by the City Band Friday evening was one of the beat if not the very best from a musical point of view they ever gave. The attendance was not as large aa on previous occasions, the holiday rush doubtless keeping many from attending. The vocal solos by Misses Ethel Galley and Bird Dodds were artistically ren dered and touched the hearts of their bearers, and both responded to encores with-second numbers. The band under the directorship of Mr. E. 0. Hocken- tberger is 'making perceptible progress and their rendition of ""The Haunted House,'' "The Blue and Gray Patrol" and Indian War Dance" showed good train ing. We hope the band will be more fortunate in the selection of a date for their next performance. The school board at their meeting Friday evening elected Prof. W. M. Kern of David City, superintendent of our city schools, to fill the place of the late Prof. Williams. The board feel con fident they have made a good selection, as all who know Prof. Kern, recommend him very highly. He is a graduate of the Indiana State University, has taken advanced work in the Chicago Univer sity, has a life certificate in Nebraska and has had twelve years' experience in teaching, seven of which has been as superintendent in David City where he has given general satisfaction. Prof. Kern is 34 years old and has no family. He will be remembered by many who met him last year during the county in stitute while he was teaching. Prof. Kern is an active member of the Chris tian church in David City. The board have asked him to begin his work here on the 7th of January, the beginning of the next term. Em. J. Potts, a former.Columbus boy away back in the TOs, first establishing himself here in the job printing business and afterwards the publisher of the Independent arrived in the city Monday .evening and will remain several days renewing old acquaintances. "Pottsy," as he was then familiarly called, is look ing in excellent health, and to see his pleasant face brings to mind many happy incidents of the early'daya when he was the manager and leading comedian of our local dramatic club, making merry all who attended their performances. Mr. Potts is now traveling in the interest of the Denver Chemical Manufacturing Coof New York, introducing "Anti phlogietine," a remedy fast gaining pop- 1-alarity among the medical profession. Dr. Elmer A. Sheets, another former Columbus boy, is the originator of the remedy and interested in the manufac ture and sale and is sure he has some thing that will prove a blessing to humanity as well ss remunerative to himanlf The large crowd of people who weathered the storm Saturday night to hear the Stephenson String Quartette aad Wallace Bruce Amsbary in his read ings at the opera house were well repaid, aa the entertainment throughout was bae of the very best that has ever visited oar city. Every number on the program was encored and kindly responded to by the artists. The quartette "Slavonic Daace," the violia solos "Hungarian Dance," by Elsie Stephenson and "Music of the Birds" by Leila Stophensoa were rendered faultlessly and showed that .the performers have perfect control of tlMiriaetrumeuts aad pat a fine inter pretation on the mania The cello solo, "Elfintaae" by Clara Stephenson also "damn us special mention, and very much pleased the large audience.
