A KANSAS DAY.

White clouds in great ieecy folds drifted
away over the blue deeps all through the
hours of yesterday, trailing in their wake
below pleasantly cooling shadows along
the landscape in ceaseless procession. The
day was warm, the breezes suggestive OF
rain and the emerald CLEAN and sheen of
trees and prairies deepened and strength
ened with the hours. There is only one
Kansas, and her climatic conditions bring
glories and revelations impossible of sea-
levels and never rivaled by mountain alti-
tudes. From a future higher civilization,
developed by these prairies, are to come
the poets of the continent. Perfection
will survive from the fttest of climatic
conditions no less in mental and physical
attachments than in the triumphs already
everywhere conceded to her soil.

vanished. He desires the EAGLE to express
to these musicians, whoever they may be,
the appreciation and gratitude of the par

A WILD STEER CREATES EXCITEMENT.

There were several car loads of wild
! steers unloaded at the stock yards
| Wednesday to be fed and watered, and in
reloading them an outer door of one of the
cars became unfastened and before it was
noticed five streers had slipped out. Three
of these were driven back into the yards
without much trouble while one of them
| is still at large, reported to have been seen
Yesterday few miles north of the city,
and the other one had to be killed.
It was this latter one that created
great deal of excitement, and from whose
mad charges several parties up in the
vicinity of the stock yards had very mar
row escapes. He first ran the yard en-
ployes into the yards, and then
started south looking for new
conuuests. A gentleman carrying
| his baby was chased into his
| house. which he reached none too soon, for
the wild animal was right at the door
when it was shut. There were several
narrow escapes of children, men and wo-
men from his fury. One, which was
laughable after the danger had passed,
was that of an old German lady who was
out hoeing in her garden. When she saw
the animal approaching she took brave
stand with hoe in hand and was going to
i defend her garden to the bitter end from
| the destructive trample OF his feet. 1t
| looked for few minutes as though this
| woman would surely be killed as the steer
had been wrought into such a fury by
being chased and was making for her with
a terrible rush.
One of the yard men, who was on
| horse, dashed up when the animal was
within only few feet OF where she stood,
and attracted its attention towards him
self and horse. The old lady, seeing the
danger at last, made haste TO get inside
| her house.
Jack Sharp. the yard-master. as soon as
as he saw how dangerous the steer was,
procured rife and at the corner of Fift-
| teenth and Fifth streets he put an end to
| is last stmpede, killing it with one shot.
| 1t was easy to see how much easier the
people near breathed when they they saw

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

An important and interesting case has
just been decided and disposed of by the
supreme court Of the state of Kansas.
it Is the case of Susan Miller VS.. the city
OF Wichita, an injunction suit to restrain
the city from opening Park street from
Lawrence avenue east to the alley. Messrs.
Colin & Brooks represent Mrs. Miller,
and City Attorney Wilson the city OF
Wichita. The case was tried in the COM
mon pleas court last year. The evidence
IN the case showed that j. z. Hilton IN
1872 dedicated the street TO the city. In
1874 Mrs. Miller got quit claim deed to
the north fifty feet from one Gilbert, but
for the south fifty feet she had no papers.
She fenced the entire 100 feet and lived
on the same from 1874 TO 1890. She built
nice house on the place. planted
trees and made other Improvements such
as preparing garden, lawns, and making
the place very attractive residence. She
occupied the place for over sixteen years
The law states that fifteen years adverse
possession gives the party title. That
was the proposition the plaintiff rested up
on and seemed very proper. The city held
that the statute oflimitations does not run
dSdlHSe MuAiSlpdi Col pOidtAOho SPOA
this question the different states differ,
some holding that the statute does run
against municipal corporations and Others
that it does not. At the time OF the trial
this was mooted question in Kansas, as
our supreme court had never passed upon
that point. However at the trial the court
of common pleas decided that the statute
of limitations does not run against munic-
ipal corporations and decided the case
in favor of the city. This was
that the city had right to open the street
and compel the plaintiff, Mrs. Miller, to
remove the house and all the improve
ments now upon the street. The plaintiff
filed a motion for new trial which was
overruled by the court. The plaintiff then
took the case to the supreme court Of the
state The case was set for April g. The
case was called and dismissed at the cost
of the plaintiff, so that the law now in
Kansas is, by the decision of the supreme
court, that the statute of limitation does
not run against municipal corpora
tions in respect to adverse posses
sions of streets. The decision appears to
work a severe hardship on Mrs. Miller.
The place is beautiful one, nicely i'm
proved and bears the signs of years of toll
spent upon improving the place in every
manner.
The city will insist upon its claim now
unless compromise can be effected IN
some way. The city desires TO open the
street from Lawrence to Topeka avenue,
and the decision of the supreme court
gives them 100 feet from Lawrence avenue
to the first alley east The city will prob
ably make Miller the proposition to give
the city so feet on Topeka avenue, in order
that the city may have so foot road from
Lawrence to Topeka, and the city will allow
Miller to continue to occupy the north so
feet of the 100 feet awarded them by the
supreme court.
This case is of great interest to all stu
ated in like manner and has been much
discussed both by the press and the public.
