Free Press Pick-ups Oh, What a Fall Was There! Seated today on the sidewalkThough cement, it cracked with ease, It would have been better, surely, To have fallen on my knees. Waiting For tit Initiation. A certain popular retail clerk on Main street has recently joined a fraternal order and now his friends are "framing up" against him. Just wait initiation night and see happens. The T.

Wis. local man is lamenting the that the Kansas City people are trying to eliminate the exceedingly pleasant odors which arise from the vicinity of the packing house. "We used to pay a nickel to ride across the river to the packing house district," said the Winfield man, "and get scent (cent) back and now they are trying to do away with the rebate." Lots of Pick Ups. "Lots of pick-ups today," said the smart caller this morning. "How do you know?" asked the girl porter, thinking of this column.

"Well, I assisted at one myself. She didn't look heavy, but I thought she weighed three hundred pounds as I assisted her to rise, and incidentally tried a keeping my feet on the pavement. And she wasn't the only one. The sights I've seen here he paused, and no one dared ask for particulars. It Sure Bucked.

Yep, we were late last night. It pains us to mention it today, and we wouldn't, only we want you to know what to blame. The wonder is that we got out at all, and you would have thought so if you had been around. You see, gentle reader, a press is a peculiar animal. Usually, in spite of the angry growl with which it goes at its work, it is quite gentle and fairly good tempered.

Occasionally, though, it has an off day, and then things do happen. Yesterday it sure bit the hand that fed it. Worse than that, it chawed and tore the papers and then threw them as far as it could. It made even the devil weep and tear his hair. And every man in the office from the boss up tried to fix the doggoned doflicker that was responsible for the fierce actions of the press.

"Until the next time we have some news that is big and are in a hurry to get out," said one reporter today.

Eckhart is on trial today in the district court. This is a suit for damages to have been caused by failure to exempt certain property under a writ of attachment. Taylor and Eckhart have figured in legal actions for several years, this being the third case to be threshed out. The damage asked is $1,600. Suit to Foreclose.

W. 0. Waymire has filed a suit to foreclose on a mortgage in the district court. The property in litigation is what is known as the "Big Orchard," near Udall. This land wat mortgaged by the owners, Lyman S.

Small Verdict in Crouse Case, The jury in the Crouse case returned a verdict at noon today, finding for the plaintiff in the sum of $400. Michael Crouse was. allowed $50 for loss of time and the remainder for personal injuries. The jury was out about five hours. The Milling company was eliminated from the suit yesterday and tins verdict is against Collinson alone.

In answering the special questions the jury showed that it considered the boy had taken reasonable care in crossing the street but had not looked towards the approaching, automobile. The jury did not consider that the evidence showed he had turned up his collar against the rain and stepped out directly in front of the car without looking about him, thus throwing all responsibility on himself. The accident happened about a year ago on North Summit street in Arkansas City. DIED IN WICHITA. Mrs.
