ANOTHER CASE.
Mr.. John Davis, a lumber merchant OF
Wichita, entered complaint before the
Commissioners in which he charged the st.
Louis 4 San Francisco Company OF having
burdened him with excessive charges on
several car loads OF lumber which he ship
ped from Eureka Springs to Wichita, over
and above the amount he had agreed topay
per car load. but the commissioners failed
to find evidence sufficient to substautiate
Mr.. Davis grievances. On car billed to
carry $4,000 pounds he had carried 5000
pounds, and therefore the railroad company
had charged him . per cent. based upon
the amount paid per car for the 1900
pounds extra weight This the Board de-
cided to be just and equitable.

fact is that under the laws of the State cir
cumstances frequently arise where men
can collect large damages without deserv-
ing them, while in other cases those who
are most worthy of aid obtain absolutely
nothing under the law. The plan also
seems to be that while making fair settle

REPORT OF INDIAN COMMISSIONER.

The following is aportion OF Commission
er Prices report:
An amendment TO the law in reference 10
intruders, so as 10 punish by imprisonment
es well as by fine, is absolutely necessary.
An intruder without property has very
little fear Of fine. Notwithstanding his re-
peated expulsion from the Indian Terri
tory, Payne and his party Of Oklahoma col
onists have twice during the present year
made attempts at settlement in this coun.
try, requiring the military at the expense
OF the government TO effect their removal.
The commissioner gives a detailed &C.
count OF Payne's operations, and asks the
special attention of Congress TO be called
TO these aggressive movements on Indian
Territory lands, as illustrating the necessi-
ty for speedy aud effective legislation in re-
gard to trespassers.

Decision-This is petition signed by q
number of petitioners being in Benton
township, Butler county, and Payne town
ship, Sedgwick county, Kansas, the two
townships adjoining, asking that side
track and depot be established ut point
where the above named railroad crosses
the line dividing the two townships, at
which point town site has been laid out
and established. The petition was first adj
dressed to the railroad company with the
request and afterwards to the Board.
As soon rs opportunity offered. on the
23d Of October, 1883, the Board visited the
place where the depot was desired and met
the superintendent Of the railroad interest
and several OF the petitioners, at which
time both parties were given hearing.
Since then additional evidence has been re-
ceived from both parties.
From a consideration Of all the evidence,
we find the following to be the facts: Pre-
vious to the building Of this railroad by
the respondent company, a proposition
was submitted to the voters OF each town.

Sluss Elected by One Thousand.
NELSON ALL ELECTED

The tabulated returns, found elsewhere,
tell the result OF Tuesdays political fight in
Sedgwick county. II was in some respects
the hardest, most earnest fought battle, up.
on the part of true Republicans, ever wit
messed in the county. Every conceivable
element was combined and pitted againts
the party, backed by the saloon interest
which was organized to beat Murray Myers
and Henry Sluss. One OF the truest men,
in the person OF Murray Myers, that ever
drew a sword for his country, went down
before this combination, but he made a no.
BILE, unflinching fight and though he went
down, he went down with his colors flying,
with every true Republican regretting the
action OF the men OF whom better things
were hoped.

with mashed foot caused by railroad tie
falling on it.
N. Morgan, section laborer, Kingston,

A. BURNETT, switchman, Denison. Some

tated the amputation of his arm. The
operation was performed in Denison, Fri
day, and the man was incompetent to give
any particulars of the affair when re-
ceived at the hospital, SO great was his
suffering.

The Latest from Paulin.

Jacob Paulin. an account of whose ex.
ploits was recently published in the BAzoo,
has been heard from.
1t will be remembered that Psulin, who
was engaged in the saw mill and lumber
business, was accused of deserving his fami-
ly and running of with a young girl from
the vicinity of in Fairfield Benton county,
where his mill was located.
One of Mr.. Paulin's creditors followed
him to Logan county, ILL.,, where he has .
farm, located near Atlanta, in the county
mentioned. The creditor says that his de-
msnds were fully satisfied, and that Paulin
is living with his family on a good farm,
and apparently doing we'll. He denies in
toto the story of his elopement with the
girl from Fairfield, but fails to explain
why he left this vicinity, leaving number
of his creditors to hold the bag.

A Collision on the Railroad.

There was collision on the K. & I.
near EstiIl station, yesterday morning.
The excursion train from Moberly, in
charge of Conductor Jim Fleming, col
lided with north bound freight in charge
OF Conductor Frank Gerard. The full par.
ticulars of the sffair could not be learned
yesterday, but the reporter was assured
that no person was injured. The engineers
saw one another in time to avoid
q catastrophe, but not in time to prevent q
collision. The two trains had come al
most TO a stop when they touched, and the
result was only the derailment of three
freight cars.
Just where the fault lies is not known.
but the occurrence is of the most impor-
tant nature. The excursion train was
loaded with passengers coming to the Sc
dalia Exposition, and had the two engines
come together with force, the result would.
have been horrible in the extreme.

grounds yesterday, or, for that matter,
either day during the week, left it in such
frame of mind that next year they will
advise all their friends who have delayed
making the visit, not to miss their chance
of Sc ing the fair for a year BY failing to

fourth annual Exposition eclipsed all
former exhibitions, and it gives the BAzoo
