| fore Judge Foster, begun yesterday afternoon;
| 4 f. Mct'ay administrator upon the estate OF
Frank ID. Webster sues Carlos l. Greeley anu
| Henry Willard, Receivers OF the Kansas fa-
cific road for $1,000 damages for the kllllng OF
| Webster some time ago. Ii will be re1nem-
bered that in December, $50, Frank MeDs'er, 81,
| am express agent on that road, was killed IN
| an accident near Hays City, the cause being
| the breaking of an axle at "A bridge, the train
| pIunging through. Webster was struck by
| the safe upon the head, being killed instant
w. One point of the controversy Is the es-
| tablishment of the claim of the woman who
/ says she was webster's wife, the defense
| striving 10 prove that she is not and never
has been. The case is an interesting one IN
all of its details, and Is attracting great ue''
| of attention. Several witnesses we've exam
| ined yesterday afternoon, and the case VIII
| be continued to-day.
