ORDEREDTo Get Out and He ObeysspmPromptly.trwPreston Gilbert Receives a Note ofWarning and Concludes toAccept.rsRIt begins to look as tbough White I Caps were a good thing after all—tlwhen they are regulated by a class of men with level heads. A case Id' \ wherein the public at large thinks I sthey acted right came to the Record man this week and the information5given us was as follows:There is a family living about 2| miles northeast of Rosedale namedGilbert, consisting of the father,dr1mother, three sons and two daugh-ters. The old folks are said to be*It very hard working people and are1respected by their neighbors,—but1our informant does not say much on-1lv for one of the boys—J. S. He isan excellent fellow they say.rOn November 7, Preston, one of]dythe boys, was beatiug a horse forisome cause or other and his father,aged 72, tried to argue him out ofit. This angered the sou and he turned with curses on the old manand threatened to beat him in theoritifidsame manner he did the horse if hedidn’t keep his mouth shut. The old man still insisted on his desisting and Preston was as good as hisword, thumping the aged man unmercifully, blackiug his eyes, andwound up by driving the old mantileoff the place, not even allowing himtime to get his clothing or a cent ofmoney.The neighbors didu’t find it outfor several days, but the facts fiual-ie | ly leaked out and on the 17th a Whitem Cap notice fell into Preslon Gilbert’sLauds notifying him to get out ofthe commtnity or he would be given a dose of the White Cap law. Pres-o,ofton didn’t like this, so it is said, anda-ilimade direful threats against the people he termed his persecutors. Heattried hard to get a revolver, but noerone would lend him one. After au.few days he concluded it would besafer to migrate—and he did.n- The Bentiment of the peop’e inh- that neighborhood is strong againstis, Preston Gilliert. Many assert that8 he should have been given a featheryed coat before he had time to get out ofmb the community, but probably it is it- better the wav it is.is- A man that will beat bis poor oldfather surely can’t amount to a greatupas-deal and will benefit no localitv inwhich he may turn up.| V Wiun Winn, the Lucerne elevator men, have completed their grain iaa I dump and now everything is handled 3ar with neatness and dispatch. Theirer' [ prices are right, too. Bring in your m-tliegrain
