OUR MOTTO: JUSTICE WHEREVER IT MAY LEAD.
WATTS & WORTMAN BECOME
VICTIM.
A man. who gave his name us
Meyers, liit Elizabeth last Sunday,
and in need of money, and not desir
ing to sweat for same, forged a check
on the Stock Growers Uank at Kiowa
and presented the check to Watts
j & Wortman, who in their unsus- i
pecting way, cashed it.
After a short while, considering
i the stories the stranger told, the
J boys suspicloned him to be crooked, 1
and reported the action to Mayor *
Wet more, who corailed the man. 1
After a short Interview, It was ’
deemed best to take him to Kiowa,
where he was turned over to the 1
County Sheriff.
The check cnahed, amounted to 1
$ 10.00, and ull but twenty cents was *
refunded to the firm who cashed It. *
The sum of ten dollars not being 1
enough to commltt the man to a
sentence, after his trial, ending with ‘
a severe repremand, lie was turned 1
loose.

THIS PRINTER IS SEEKING A JOB

Missouri, a newspaper office received
an order for some public sale bills l
from a prominent farmer living near
Sikeston. The order was given on
June 29, and the work was promised
for June 30, 1919.
June 30 being the lust day before
the prolonged Prohibition drought.
iHe printer decided he would take
one "botch,”in honor of the occasion.
One glass brought free company, and
the wine flowed freely for many
moments. Suddenly the printer re
membered of his public sale job he
had promised for that day. He
hastened to the printery and set type
with both hands. His legs slightly
wobbly but his head as clear as a
bell. He set the job, read the proof,
and printed the bills, and wrapped
them up, preparatory to delivery.
The farmer called for his Job, paid
his bill, and started tacking up his
bills.
This IS what he found on the blls:
“Twenty-Jive cows broke to work,
41 head of cultivators, coming in
soon, 10 head of shoveling hoars with
, scoops by side; 8 piano mares; 120
rods of canvass belting, better than
new; De Laval cow, with ice cream
attachment; McCormick binder in
foal; Poland China bob-sled due to
