                  April 28, 1911
                  THE COOLEY PRELIMINARY
                  The News was in error in last week’s issue when it stated that 
                  Chas. COOLEY had waived preliminary examination. The 
                  preliminary had only been postponed, and was heard in Justice 
                  TESTERMAN’s court last Monday. He was charged with felonious 
                  assault on the person of Henry HALL. The prosecution was 
                  conducted by Judge FULKERSON, and W.D. MORSE looked after the 
                  interest of the defendant. When the evidence was all in, the 
                  court found him guilty of simple assault, and fixed his fine 
                  at $5.00 and costs. A complaint was also filed against COOLEY 
                  for carrying concealed weapons, to which he plead guilty, and 
                  was fined $25.00 and cost, which he paid.
                  ANOTHER DRUG STORE
                  Fairland is soon to have another drug store. Dr. SMITH has 
                  formed a partnership with Mr. R.M. FINKE of Quapaw, a young 
                  pharmacist, formerly of Miami, and they will open a stock of 
                  drugs in the Smith building.
