German was counted out in the fourth
round. The first two rounds were de-

very evenly matched. German got in

German landing a hard right on

WICHITA AND Ell PAso RAILWAY.

just at this time probably no independ-
ent line of railway can be built out OF
Wichita which will be of so much benefit
to- the live stock, jobbing and manufactur-
ing interests of this city as the Wichita
aud Fl Paso railway. and to the country
and cities through which it viii pass its
value cannot be estimated. 1t means to
al that country the opening of a new and
more direct market at less expense and the
marketing OF their food products in less
time than any other line which can or may
be built.
When the large storage elevators are
erected in this city it will give to the farm
ers and shippers along that line the same
advantages that all other farmers and
shippers will have on all other railway
lines radiating from this city. The build
ing of this line will bring Norwich, Run
nymede, Harper and the other towns in
closer business relations with this city,
and as Wichita incre sses and deyelODeS, 50
will they be given new impetus. 1t is
hoped that the day is not far distant when

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
In the Case OF Champion Hartford Invest
ment Company.

A case which is of great interest to all
loan companies and holders of Kansas real
estate securities was decided yesterday by
the supreme court.
It is the case of Julia Champion VS.. the
Hartford Investment company from Sedg-
wick county. and the question involved Is
as to the statutes of an unguaranteed in
terest coupon in the hands of loan com
many which has advanced money upon 1t
aud to which the coupon has been deliv-
cred uncancelled The plaintiff contends
that the transaction amounted to virtual
payment and extinguiShment OF the
coupon so far as the plaintiff was con-
cerned and that if the holder of 1t Is en-
titled to any share at all in the
mortgage security its claim IS second
and subordinate TO that of the hold
er Of the principal note. In other words
that the coupons is only a second lien
upon the mortgaged property. On the
other hand, the defendant contends, and
the district court of Sedgwick county So
held. that the holder OF the coupon IS en-
titled TO pro rate share of the mortgage
security. 1t makes all the difference IN
the world. for if the principal note must
first be paid in full out Of the proceeds OF
the mort gagged property, the coupon Is
practically worthless
Many loan companies which have been
helping out the farmers by advancing in
tereSt on the coupons, especially IN south
ern Kansas, are much interested in the
case: for IL the uucanceled coupons held by
them are only second liens, they are 10 all
intenls and purposes in the majority oil
cases. of no value whatever. and the cap
ital inves ed in them Is practically wiped
out.
The supreme court affirmed the decision
of the lower court and holds As follows:
The title of interest coupons passes
from hand to hand by mere delivery where
the owner of a note. with interest coupons
attached. secured by mortgage upon real
estate, which he has purchased from an in
vestment company engaged in making
loans in this state and selling them 70 par
ties in other states tsuch note and mort
gage being endorsed and transferred 10 the
owner without recourse') receives the
money on the first coupon falling due,
from the investment company but not AZ
the bank or Office where the note and IN
terest coupon are payable, with notice that
il ! the custom of the company TO advance
the interest on loans sold by il, when the
interest falls due, whether the same has
been paid by the borrower or not, the
transaction is presumptiyeiy transfer OF
an assignment OF the coupon and not a
payment or exringishment thereof. In the
absence of an express agreement or con
trolling equity 10 the contrary, the assign
ment of one Of a number of coupon interest
notes secured by a mortgage carries with
il pro rata share Of the security.
