County Seat Nctes
On Thursday J udgeEoofbourrow
instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict of not guilty as to Sam
Houston and Vesta Ferneau, on
the grounds that there was 110
evidence to corroborate the testi-
mony of Harrison While, the al-
leged accomplice on whose testi-
mony the prosecution was force'd
to rely for hope of a conviction.
All the defendants in the Smith
murder case have now been set free
ar.d punishment of the crime is im-
possible. On December 2, 1907 at
his home a few miles from Palace
in what is now the southeastern
corner of Harper county, EdSmith
a farmer, husband of Mary Smith,
received a death blow. Shortly
thereafter a rope was placed about
his r.eck and wound around the
horn of a saddle, and the corpse
was dragged a half mile or so away
to a remote spot in the corn field,
there to be left until it might be
discovered. Who struck the death
blow and who rode the saddle to
which the corpse was attached and
who conceived the diabolical plot
of which these acts were the con
summation will probably never be
known but to those who were im-
plicated.

"Do you think that our country will
ever succeed in getting rid of graft- |
®rg?"
"Yes," answered Senator Sorghum.
"There will be a time when grafters
are unheard of. But it will be due to
the change that is constantly going
on in our vocabularly. There will he
a new word that means the same
thing."
Valuable Canine.
"Henry," 6aid Mrs. Peck, "Mr. (
Smith's dog came very near biting mo

ened and it's up to you to do some-
thing about it."
"I will, my dear," replied Peck. "I'll
see Smith the first thing in the morn-
ing, and if he doesn't ask too much for
the dog I'll buy him."
A Strong Hint.
