Will Wynian called at the house this afternoon and made the Miss Resale Murray Says She Will Sue the Chanute Sun fur Llbe1. In bis account of the basketball game Friday, between the Chanute and Parsons high school teams, tho reporter for the Chanute Tribune got gay at the expense of Miss lies-sle Murray, the center for the Parsons team. Tho reporter probably thought it was funny, but when the Chanute Tribune Publishing company Is called upon by the courts to dig ui) $20,000 damages as the result of his libeling Miss Murray, lie wuu i muia 11 hu mini. titu that's what Miss Murray ia Just now contemplating. She says that every thing that reporter said about her was a mean lie, except one, and as) she doesn't sfty what that is, it wast probably that she "is generally lu a very happy mood." Tho Sun called Mr.

Horbert Cav-eness, editor of the Tribune, over the phone this morning and asked him what he was going to do about, it. He hadn't even rend the article which appeared In bis paper, hut he intimated that if Miss Murray had beeii libeled and the Tribune was sued for $20,000, be would make the reporter reimburse the Tribune. If Miss Murray secures a judgment for $20,000, that reporter will' bo up against it, but Mr. Cavuness will probably let hint pay back the money lu Installments, mid in that case, if he Is receiving $15 week, he couldn't bo exiected to pay more than $ii a week on the Judgment, and in this case ho would liquidate in about SO years, providing tin- judgment did not draw interest, and in that case he would have to live a few years longer, and the proper thing Tor the Tribune to do would be tb secure an Injunction restraining him Ir.im dying of old ago until the judgment was paid. Of course, this is only speculation, and the Sun hopes that the Tribune will do the honorable tiling lu thU matter and it will be settled out of court.

Miss Murray Is one of the most cliurming high school girls in this part or tho state, and while she would probably kick against an unjust ruling or an umpire, she wouldn't kick anybody in the back, as was alleged by the Tribune reporter. The Sun tenders Its good offices to Miss Murray and Mr. CavnneBs In an amicable settlemCSr if this complication, and holies that w'heh they meet each other they can see how nicely it can be arranged. Mr. Cav- auess Is one of the nicest old bache lor editors in the state, and the Sun has often tried t.j have him see the error of his way.
