State of Kansas vs. Henry Lister.
Hays City Star Sentinel, 2J.
Our readers will remember that on or
about the 7th of last July, Henry Lister
filed a complaint before S. W. Humph
reys, against Valentine Hopkins, charg
ing the said Hopkins with outraging
May Lester. A warrant was placed hi
the hands of Wm. Burk, a deputy sheriff,
who asked the complaining witness to
accompany him to point out the party
accused of the offense. It seems that
both Lister and Deputy Sheriff Burk
started, each armed with a revolver, and
when they reached the point on Chestnut
street, near Kidder's livery stable, Hop
kins was seen crossing the street, when
Burk commanded him to halt two or
three times, after which Heury Lister
shot at and wounded the said Hopkins,
from the effect of which he (Hopkins)
died on the 9th day of August. Henry
Lister was arrested on the charge of mur
der and committed without bail.
The case was called for hearing
Wednesday of last week, when a special
venire of one hundred and twenty-five
jurymen was issued, out of "which number
a jury or twelve was empaneled on
Thursday morning.
The state was represented by County
Attorney Howard, assisted by J. C.Leahy
and D. C. Nellis, while the defense was
ably conducted and every inch of ground
contended for. The evidence was con
cluded Friday evening and the argu
ments made on Saturday. The case was
given to the jury at four o'clock Saturday
afternoon. The-jnry remained locked up
until Jtlonday morning, at "which iime
they informed the Judge that there was
no probability of their agreeing upon a
verdict, when they weie discharged.
Henry Lister entered into a bond of $500
for his appearace at tho next term of the
District Court and was allowed to go on
his way rejoicing. When we hope this
ends the case we believe we expiess the
sentiment of a very largo majority of the
tax-payers of Ellis county.

These figures show an increase in the
volume of business which is highly satis

number of cars forwarded. This slight
falling off is due to the fact that but few
cattle were shipped to market the past
season.
C. A. Beavers informs us that he sold
a farm three miles north of town some
time ago to C. H. Aylworth, of Johnson
county, Iowa, and that he received a let

stating that he expected to be here in
about three weeks with his family. Mr.
Aylworth will bring a good stock of farm
ing implements, horses, cattle, etc, and
mil farm on quite a large scale. These
are the kind of men that will build up a
country, and do more toward making our
county "blossom like the rose" than any
other, and we will welcome them here.
