So hero gees: September 19, Tom Frlekos wanted us to find him a girl. Wo went out looking for one, but wo didn't find any. September 21 Tom camo to my houso Just as I was getting ready for bed and he asked mo to go and find Parker so wo coulif ko out and look for girls. Tom and I went down to where Parker roomed. Tom stayed down stairs whllo I went up and got Par ker. Wo came down and wo found Tom waiting for us. Wo went to the danco hall, but we didn't get any girls. Tom and I went homo and wo left Parker there. September 22, Bert Cummlngs, Parker and myself left tho Hotel Mod ford at 8 o'clock. Tho three of us went to, tho Oreck pool room. Par ker and I played a gamo of pool. Whllo wo were playing pool Ocorgo came In with a watermelon and ho aBkcd mo If I had a knlfo. I gare him my knife. Then I went ahead with tho gamo. Parker and I got through playing and we went over to tho park to get a drink and a lit tle fresh air, and we took our scat on tho second bench from tho church. After we were there about five min utes Tom camo over, aud he said: "Boys, let us look for a girl," and wo told him wo wero going to bed In a little while, for wo had to get up, early In the morning. He said: "Come and let us meet a nico girl." Wo said, "all right," and wo went. After wo Btarted to go ho said wo muBt get George, for ho wanted to go, too. So I went and got George while Parker and Tom went down drape street, and they said for me to come back and go down Grape street, and they would bo waiting for us. George and I did go down Grape street and we found Tom and Parker at the end of South Grape. From thero we went on Front street, and we kept on till we got to the depot. Then George wanted to get a water melon and Tom gave him 10 cents, and George went to get the melon while us three walked slow up to the depot and waited till George got back and Tom said wo had better go to tho box factory, that would be a good place, and we did. Then Tom wanted somo whisky, so Parker said he would go and get some. Tom asked him where was he going to get it, but Parker said he could get It all right, and he went ufter t. Whllo Parker was going Tom and Ocorgo got fighting about some money about a board bill, and George wouldn't pay It, and the first thing I knew about It Tom bit George over the head with a gas plpo and COUNTY OFFICIALS SEEKING INCREASES IN THEIR SALARIES Newly elected official? of Jackson county have, iwtitioned tlio Jnekon county delegation to introduce bill increnvlnc nlnrie.

George went down and Tom was still hitting George after he was down. Then Tom sworo at him In Greek. Then ho went through George's clothes. When ho started to search tho clothes I started to run, and as I went to tho track I saw Parker com ing back with tho whisky, and I stayed thero and waited for him, and I told Parker what had happened, and lie asked mo what was tho mat ter and I told him, and Parker didn't bollevo me, and we both ran over thero and wo found Tom pulling George underneath tho box factory. Then Parker said, "What was the matter, Tom?" and Tom said: "Ho would not pay mo tho bill," and Par ker said to me, "Let us get out of hero, Mike, for tho first thing wo know they will arrest us. Thoy will be thinking that wo killed this fel low, so let us get out of here." And as wo started to go Tom put that watch In my pocket und $7 and ho told mo to give him tho watch back tho next day, and I was broken down so I didn't think anything about tho watch till I got homo, and I found out that I had tho watch and tho $7, and I gave my wlfo CO cents out of It and I told her that I won It play ing poker.
