Seneca, Kansas 1914 "Alderman Frank S. Bland, representing the Second Ward in Seneca, was arraigned before Justice Larimer Thursday afternoon of last week and pleaded guilty to a charge of using vile and indecent language and otherwise disturbing the peace of W. H. Bevard, an agent who had called at the Bland home for the purpose of delivering and collecting for certain mop-sticks that be h id previously sold to Mrs. Bland. Judge Larimer fined Bland $2.50 and costs, amounting to $9.75. While making change, Bevard asserts that Bland came out into the . kitchen and told him that his brushes or mops were bum. or words to that and not worth the half he asked for them. By degrees the Councilman lashed himself into a blind fury and directed a tirade of abuse against the agent, using vile epithets the least of which is considered the fighting word in polite society. Mrs. Bland, it is said remonstrated with her irate husband and Bevard says that she told him that she guessed that she could do what she pleased with her own money. Bevard took his case to Deputy Attorney Schrempp, who referred him to City Attorney Bald."
