DEFERRED UNTIL JAN. 7 Petition of Withdrawers To Have Names Replaced on Petition, Filed- Walkertown Petition, A. contest before the county connissioners at the court house today over the question of whether or not the Devon-Mapleton road shall he built. under the new fedcral aid petition, ended this afternoon in a draw. lotgely as the result of the filing of a petition with the commissioners, after the opponents of the road had gathered, asking that certain names which had been withdrawn from the road petition bo replaced thereon.

The purpose of the mecting today was to make a final decision Alon tho sufficiency or insufficiency petition. of the Devon-Mapleton The law provides that such a petition. to be sufficient, must contain the names of at least 51 property owners in the benefit district, owning at least 35 per cent of the land. There is a period after the filing of a petition during which signers may withdraw their names if they so desire. Opponents of the project have heen working to secure the withdrawal of names, and announced recently that they had managed to effect the withdrawal of sufficient land and names to defeat the petition.

they probably had. Ent the filing. during the meeting. 'of a petition containing the names of 11 persons, 375 acres the benefit district. asking to have their names replaced on the petition, threw the meeting into confusion.

The opponents of the road claimed the withdrawers had. 110 right to put their names back onto the petition, and the propoInents countered with the argument that they had more right, since their names had originally theen on the petition. Another petition signed by a number of persons, asking that their names be replaced on the petition, is now ready according to report, but was not filed today. The result was that there were some heated arguments and no do- cision as to the sufficiency of tre petition, the meeting finally ending with a decision to bring the matter up again at the meeting of the commissioners on January 7, next, at 1:30 p. m.

Just as the opponents of the Devon-Mapleton road left the commissioners' room, a petition was filed asking for the building of the Walkertown road. This would extend from the Evergreen cemetery road, just south of the cemetery, six miles west and south. GRANTED TWO DIVORCES. And a Decree Was Refused the Harrises Saturday- Mrs. Bo.

linger Had Asked Alimony. Two divorces were granted and one was refused in district court! Saturday, afternoon. G. H. Bolinger was granted a divorce from his wife, Stella E.

Bolinger, on ground of gross neglect, and later in the day Edith Turner was granted a divorce from Grover C. Turner, en the ground of abandonment. Mrs. Turner was also given the custody of the five minor children. Relative to the Bolinger it was mistakenly stated in the Tribune Saturday evening that Mrs.

Bolinger had filed a petition' for divorce, and that her husband had filed an answer and cross petition. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Bolinger filed only a suit for alimony, and did not ask a divorce decree. Afterward, her husband filed suit for divorce, and it was to him that the court granted the decree. Mrs.

Susie E. Harris and EdHarris were refused a decree." She had filed suit first, and her husband later filed -a cross petition. In refusing a decree. Judge Gates expressed the opinion that Mrs. Harris "had been discrete," and that Mr.

Harris was "an old crank." START ROAD TO CHANUTE. New That Petition Six Miles Filed Be Yesterday Built--Lee Payne's Salary Raised. The county commissioners at their meeting yesterday afternoon received and placed on file a petition asking for the paving, with bituminous macadam, of six miles on the Fort Scott-Walkertown road, extending westward from the green cemetery road.

Commisioners Edmundson and Clary voted for the raise, and Commissioner Macon against it. Undersheriff George Hessong yes. terday arrested Robert.

His preliminary hearing was set for next Monday in Judge Jay's His bond was fixed at $500. but, as he was unable to give bond, he was remanded to jail.

Mrs. McIntyre and the child. it is understood, are now with her parents, who are residents of the Pawnee neighborhood. Sherman Abbott, 17-year-old boy, was arrested vesterday afternoon by Chief of Police Hoy on the charge of being drunk and driving car while intoxicated. He pleadlea guilty to both charges in police court this morning and was given a fine of $25 for being drunk and fine of $50 and a pail sentence of 60 days for driving a car while intoxicated; ARLENE SCOTT HELD GIRL, CHARGED WITH MURDER IS BOUND OVER.

SHROUDED IN MYSTERY Investigators Baffled in Efforts To Bring to Light Facts of Kill. ing of Mrs. Ella Scott. Mound City, Dec. Sherlock Homes, that.

famous detective of fiction, was never involved in a plot shrouded in deeper mystery than that which surrounds the murder of Mrs. Elenore. Scott at LaCygne, in this county, one night last June. Kansas has had murder cases that have created more general interest the murder of Mrs. Scott.

because she was unknown outside the county in which she had lived from her childhood. But in all the annals of crime, in this state a murderer never has covered his tracks so cleverly. John Ellison Scott, husband of the slain woman, is held on the charge of having committed the niece, was bound over yesterday murder, and Arlene, Scott, her by a justice of the peace for trial on the charge of being an accesgory. Yet. little light has been thrown 011 the murder itself.

Public sentiment still is divided in the county. Scott still has friends who publicly and vehemently proclaim his, innocence and the public is not yet ready to entertain the revolting, thought that Arlene Scott, not long out of high school, and who was teach-! ing her first term of public school at the time of her arrest, had either knowledge or part in the murder. I Mrs. Scott was shot twice the night of June 19, 1923. Not only may the case go down in the criminal history of the state as the most mysterious, but it may become known as presentting new problems in criminal procedure.

But for one act--that Mr. Scott himself and that of the young girl who now stands with him under the shadow of the law -there is little doubt Scott would have been acquitted of the crime at the September term of court here, and the case would have ended in the mysterv that now covers it. But a month after Scott was arrested he visited Arlene Scott at Pittsburg, where she still was attending the teachers' training college. Scott's explanation that he was distracted. discouraged and ill: that he thought only of a visit with one who knew him and sympathized with him, presented satisfactory statement as far as his friends are concerned But the state has seized the incident to build up about Arlene.

Scott the motive to prove the suspicion it entertains that Scott murdered his wife. When Scott was arrested two days after the murder on the charge of committing the crime, the officers, had little to justify the accusation. Scott was arrested. 08 a matter of fact. more as the result of "deduction" than of anv evidence obtained.

Gossip had connected the name of Scott with that of his wife's niece. When Scott visited her in Pittsburg and took her to a hotel, gossip became a basis for evidence. From the time revelation was made public sentiment, began to divide, whereas, before, public sentiment was almost unanimous on the side of Scott. At the first trial the jury agreed on the evidence against Scott, standing eight to four for acquittal. Then the county pealed for aid.

It asked Charies B. Griffith, attorney general, to help in the case. Griffith made an investigation personally in LaCygne. He acted quickly, and when he struck, struck hard He caused the arrest of Arlene Scott as an accessory, charging her jointly with Scott. with the murder.

Behind the arrest of Arlene Scott, the people believe, there is a legal move only to find another way to unfold the evidence the officers believe exists against Scott. Sufficient evidence was introduced against the young girl to cause Justice of the Peace Ed R. Smith, himself, an old-time: court officer, to hold her for trial on the murder charge. It is understood Scott's attorneys, who also are Miss Scott's attorneys, will go to the supreme court immediately and ask for a writ of habeas copus. The Scott defense fought evey inch of way against the holding of Arlene, Scott and the attorney general fought as hard to have her held.

It was an extraordinary legal battle for a simple preliminary hearing. That adds to the mystery of the case, for there was the inpression at all times, in overy move, that the attorneys for Arlene Scott were fighting to save Scott, and that the state was waging i its fight, not to convict the girl, but to draw an invisible net tighter about the man. From the public viewpoint, there still remains grave doubt as to who murdered Mrs. Scott. Little evidence was introduced against Mr.

Scott at the last hearing that was not placed before the jury at the first trial except for the unfolding the account by Arlene Scott of that Pitts-1 burg incident. Mound City, Dec. 1. -Arlene Scott was held for trial for the murder of her aunt. Mrs.

Elenore Scott, jointly with Ellison Scott, by Justice. Ed. R. Smith, at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing this afternoon. Arlene Scott's bond was fixed at: $5.000, and Ellison Scott's at $10.000.

The trial of the case will be December 17. at Mound City. The state continued to build un its case. against Ellison Scott and Arlene Scott this morning. Eight witnesses were examined.

The evidence was old, having been on introduced in former trials. The state, however, through the grilling of witnesses by Charles B. Griffith, attorney general who has taken personal charge of the case, apparently has succeeded in gaining some new testimony from the witnesses. This is particularly true of the testimony of Clyde McCullough of LaCygne. McCullough was a friend of Scott and worked for him in the grocery store.

McCullough testified Scott had confided to him before the murder that he owned a 25-caliber revolver. Mrs. Scott was killed with a 32-caliber bullet. The r'evolver with which she was killed, never has been found. Scott has said he had no such revolver.

McCullough said that after the murder he told the people of LaCygne preparing to send Scott. for the bloodhounds to trail the murdered. "They need not do that," Scott replied to McCullough. "They will not find anything." These features of McCul lough's testimony evidently were a surprise to the defense. "Why didn't you tell this story of the gun and the bloodhounds before this," demanded Charles Trinkle, one of the defense attorneys.

"Nobody asked me about it," replied McCullough. Velma Frances Strahl, an year-old girl, testified, that the second night after the murder Arlene Scott stopped in Scott's room to say good night, and re. mained some time. This testi mony was corroborated by Marie Carnagy, aunt of Velma Strahl, at whose home Scott stayed several days after the murder, County Attorney W. W.

Edeburn testified that the day after the murder he suggested to Scott that the cistern at the Scott house be drained in a search fo rthe revolver. "Oh that won't do any good, the revolver is not in there," Scott replied, according to Edeburn. Sheriff Ellington testified that Arlene Scott had confessed 10 him of having been intimate with Ellison Scott and that their relations had existed a year. The defense hammered the Ellington statement in an attempt to show that the sheriff had obtained this confession by threats. The trial in which Ellison Scott is.

charged with the murder of his wife, Elenore Scott, and Arlene Scott is charged with being an accessory, has created wide interest in Linn county. The Scott family is one of the oldest in the county, dating back into the territorial days of Kansas. Tragedy, romance and history are involved to deepen pubinterest in the case. The murder of Mrs. Scott on the night of June 19, 1923, was a shock to the people of LaCygne and a throughout all the northern part of Linn county, because not only Ellison Scott, but Mrs.

Scott who was known as Ella Holt to almost everyone in that part of the county, where the family was well known. The young couple lived at LaCygne, where they owned a grocery and meat Before engaging in the operation of the store the young people had lived on a farm. So far as known to the friends, the marriage was an ideal match. No thought of discord was suspected when Ella Scott was murdered, no one in LaCygne thought. to blame Ellison Scott.

Then came the officers and a search of the property, and a search for tracks of the person who fired the two fatal shots that killed Mrs. Scott. There were conferences and theories, and a testing of clews. in the effort to pick up the thread that might unravel the mystery. No such thread could be found, then came the question.

"Who could have killed this woman, unless it was the one person that was with her, Ellison Scott?" MANY HIGH PRODUCERS. Report For Testing Ass'n No. One Shows High Herds and High Cows For Two Months. Mr. Leonard S.

of the Bible. This la a story of the beginnings of the Christian church 19 found in the fifth book of the New Testament which written by Dr. Luke to his friend Theophilus and is known to us The Acts. Luke takes up the story, where the, Gospels leave off tells of the struggles of the Apostles in organizing a new church and how, thru bitter, or persecution Jesus Christ they carried outside the of Jerusalem to tar. scattered nations.

After Pontocost- the' disciples, were full of enthusiasm. who had displayed the white feath-. er and a yellow streak. became a fearless chief of the little band and stood before the courts defied them. Peter John were easily the leaders worked toand gether.

Together they performed wonders and together they were arrested and thrown into prison. Together they were brought before the Jewish courts and told to quit stirring up hatred and strife and together they defied the courts a told their persecutors plainly that nothing could stop them from proclaiming Christ and Ilim crucifi and threw into the teeth of the Sanhedrin the charge that in killing Jesus they committed core than murder. Things quieted down in Jerusa lem for awhile. Churches, were organized and James, brother of Jesus became the head of the church, if he was a Presbyterian ho was called c. Moderator.

I'he church organized from nothing. Thoro was no precedent and much of the Jewish method of organization was used. The membership which flocked to the new church was from the poorer classes. It had no standing religiously rolitically in Jerusalem and the Romans paid little attention to Jew or Christian. At the time of Peatecost 3.000 were added to the churca rolls, this was probably not in one day, but over a period.

This number vas multiplied and then persecution began in earnest. The church had grown so strong that the original apostles found their time occupied in preaching and asked for help: Seven men were appointed and 'ordained 10 take care of the poor and probably to care of the offerings and to expend the church money. We in these days call them Deacons. There were two most notable men among the seven, one was Stephen and the other Philip. The lesson text deals.

with Philip. Stephen had been killed, first Christian martyr, Saul standing by and watching it done. Then Saul received special commission to wipe out these bands of Christains and sought them everywhere until prisons were filled. This sent the Christians to the Mission ary fields and spread Christianity to the wide world. Remember this when you suffer hardships and presecution.

"There is no progress without opposition." The Christian church would probably have died at the beginning, but for the persecution which kit ed Stephen and sent Philip and I others preaching and organizing everywhere. Philip's first mission was to Samaria. The Jews did not like the; Samaritans and would have stop. ped the preaching to them but for the recollection of Jesus in Sa- pounds of butter fat.

The report for the month of November of Elbert Stacy, official tester for Bourbon County Cow Testing Association No. 2 reports that during the month he tested a total of 259 cows, with an average. production for each cow of 441: rounds of milk, and 18.63 pounds of butter fat.

The report shows that the highherd average was that of Chester Johnston, his 9 Grade steins and pure bred Jerseys having averaged 702 pounds of milk, and 29.26 pounds of fat.

So when they heard or Philip's great revival in Samaria they sent Peter and John down to sea about it. and to give it their sanction and thus make it entirely adthodov. There were church dissentions then as now.

The great controversy was the reception of Gentiles into the Christian church. Most of the Christians were Jews and they were not all sure that Jesus came to save anybody but the Jews. They had no New Testament, these let ters been written. Wnat they preached was from their own personal experience with Jesus. They may have had some writings of but we know of nothing authentic.

They had no organization. they had no creed. When the Ethiopian asked why he should not be baptized Philip simply got. out of the chariot and tized him. He did not ask him if he believed in the virgin birth, or the immaculate conception.

Creeds were invented and attached to the Christian church long after it was organized. Jesus never wrote 2. creed, never demanded adherence to doctrinal points, in fact, never declared any doctrinal points. He told of God and His won drous love, of the joy of doing! things for others, of the life of 1 service and of the blessings 10 humanity and promised us a. iov-.

This is the Old Time Religion I would like instead of having two hundred different denominations of protestantism, the first of which was a protest against the things which had been attached to the simple doctrines taught by Jesus.
