Hoover Kerr was here Tuesday and placed under arrest Robert and Gussie Booth upon the complaint of Robert Beam an, who alleges that the boys beat him up last Friday in a hand to hand encounter, the trouble being the old dispute over the alleged libelling of the Booth boys' sister, Miss Creta last winter when she taught in the Beaman district.

The Iola Register of Tuesday evening gives the following as the statement made by Joe, Beaman to County Attorney Taylor Monday evening when warrerits were sworn out for the arrest of Robert and Guss Booth, charging then with assault with intent to kill: L. "When they met in the road near Bronson, Gus and: Bob Booth drove my brother from his buggy. He edged off to the side of the road and grasped a club to defend himself for he knew what was coming. One of the Booth boys drew a revolver and levied it at my brother's head. Get the pitchfork and go after 'I'll keep him quiet while you do it!" Booth struck my brother and ordered him to beat it down the road.

Brother's horse had become frightened during the fray and run away. He told the Booth boys that he would not turn back but would try to catch his horse. Then; they threw stones at him. Brother found his arm broken in two places and backed up against the fence, faint and helpless, and begged his assailants to finish their work. Then he iell over in a stupor from which held hot a-rouse until carried to the home of friends.

His assailants must have kicked him while he was prostrate on the ground for; two ribs were broken." 1' "The attack was without pro-voction," J. Li. Beaman told the attorney, "and after beating Bob all up they left him along the roadside unconscious. The Booths drove on into Bronson and told about the fight. Friends went out and gave Bob relief just i Jin time." "This is the story, in substance, as related by Beaman.

The Booths may have an entirely different story to tell. It will be for the courts to sift the evidence and determine the facts. "Robert Beaman's condition is not believed to be tho it was rep orted today that he was suffering much pain." Our Stony Point correspondent also gives an account of the affair in this issue. Robert Booth refused to discuss the matter with a Pilot reporter. Wednesday's Register quoted Booths' lawyer as saying that the Booths would have nothing to say of the case, but that the assault was provoked forcedlup-on Robert Booth and that Gus did noi touch him.

Also that neither of the boys had a revol- nnrr itiolrnTAiiin say turkwoise. "Well, let's go to the jeweler and ask him." "Right" "In order to settle a wager," said Swagger to the jeweler, "would you mind telling me if the' correct pronunciation of the stone in this ring is turkeze or turkwoise?" The jeweler took the ring and examined it carefully. "The correct pronunciation," he said, "is glass." Tit-Bits. Other Things.
