Younger," said Mr. Crittenden, "he
told me he was getting old and that
he wanted to come home to die. He
said whiskey was the cause of the
murder, lie warned the boys not to
touch liquor, but they wouldn't listen
to him and it was those who drank
whiskey who did the killing."

THE GREAT CATTLE SHOW
Lafayette wlil be Represented at Kan
sas City Keit Week.
The big cattle show takes place at
Kansas City next week and the
prospects are that it will be the ban
ner exhibit of that up-to-date cattle
town. Three distinct breeds are to
be represented Herefords, Short
horns and Gallowavs. this beinp the
first display made by breeders of the
latter at a Kansas City show.
Special prizes have been offered in
all three divisions but are more liberal
for the Shorthorns than for Herefords
and Galloways. However, there is
nothing stingy about prizes in any
of the rings.
Heretofore Hereford breeders have
selected judges from among breeders
of other families of cattle but this
year they concluded to make their
selections at home, so to speak, on the
theory that a Hereford breeder knows
more about a Hereford animal than a
breeder of Shorthorns or Galloways.
The judges are Thomas Mortimer,
Madison, Neb.; John Scharbauer,
CRIMINAL COURT.
No Grand Jury Proceedings up' u
Friday.
The criminal court convened Mon

but for the first time it the history of

cost saving moves were made possible

of the meeting were very satisfactory
