Mr. Schemerhorn notified the Ells worth authorities that he had an insane man from their oounty in his charge and asked them to oome after him but they ignored the request aud failed to call for him. Shade became violent Sunday and proceeded to smash np the jail.

After breaking the stove to pieces he went at the other furniture and by the time the jailers had overpowered him, the interior of the bastile looked like the scene of a recent oyolone.

Sheriff Swedenburg took him to Ellsworth and turned him over to the sheriff of that oounty. Since making the acquaintance of Marshal Sohemerhorn, Shade claims to have sold his invention of the perpetual motion machine to that officer for $5000.

COSTLY RATIFICATION. Cadets Celebrate a Foot Bali Game By Burning Straw Stacks. Five straw stacks on farms near the St.

John Military Sohool, were burned Saturday evening. On investigating one of the premises a letter belonging to a etudent of the academy was found, which led to the identification of three of the boys who took part in the affair and all confessed to burning the one Btaek on the Hamilton farm, but claimed to know nothing concerning the burning of the other stacks on near-by premises. The boys, it seemed, were ratifying the school's viotory in the foot ball game Saturday afternoon, and set fire to the straw stacks on the Hamilton farm. Other stacks belonging to Grant Beard, Jim Carruthers and Bryoe Muir were also burned. The stacks were valued all the way from $5 to 50, but as the three boys who confessed to the police yesterday could not be proven as having set fire to any other than the Hamilton straw stack, they were allowed to go if they would settle the affair with Mr.

Hamilton, which they promised to do. This little ratification meeting will cost the boys $60. Cot His Tongue. Fred Kirtland the 7-year-old son of 0. B.

Chas. Swieher in a letter in Mon day night's issue of your paper tried to defend his action in the recent foot ball game in which he was an official. The writer of this is a citizen of Salina and was an observer of that Thanksgiving game and is an admirer of manly sports and athletics. He has attended many games of foot ball in recent years but never witnessed such a laok of courtesy towards a crowd of spectators, as was shown by Mr. Swisher in Thursday's game.

One of the largest crowds that ev er witnessed a game here was in attendance and paid their money to see a game of foot ball, not a wrangle, and left in disgust. And this unpleasantness must all be laid to official Swisher as it occur red in the latter half of the game while he was referee. As proof of the faot, the first half was a clean game, free from any unpleasantness, and referee Motter's de cisions were never in question but accept ed by both teams. But early in the 2nd half it was demonstrated that the deois ions of Swisher were not accepted by the Militia and from true gentlemanly oourt esy to the spectators and to satisfy both teams he should have surrendered his place to another official. To the writer's personal knowledge three representative citizens of Salina approached official Swisher and asked him to retire and let the game proceed but he bluntly refused His decisions may have been proper from foot ball rules, the writer does not que tien that, but his action by refusing to let another official take his place was dis gusting and condemned by Salina's ath letio lovers'.

The game played Thanksgiving day was no real test because of the dissatisfaction created, and the citi zens ask, Bro. Swisher, that you step down and out of the game and let your football giants play the game and show us they can win without your assist ance. We are from Out of respect lor us don's go on the neid again to reieree a game tor a team toat you coach. A Cmzzs ass Obsxsvxb. Don't fail to hear Farland at the opera house December 7.
