From the Kansas City, Kan. Gazette.
There is being erected in the Union
Pacific yards. near the Union Pacific ice
house, new buildings for an enterprise
that promises to be Of considerable value
to the city, not alone in itself SO much as
in what it will bring with It.
The new building is being erected BY
the Pinsch Gas company and will be
used for gas plant where the company
will manufacture gas for use on the
sleeping cars that run from this point
The cars will be fitted up with appliances
for lighting by gas and will also be ar
ranged SO that when charged here the
supply will usually last the cars for the
round trip. The company handles a
number of coaches and sleepers through
its Offices here. and the demand for gas
for all of these will be very large.
The plant is well under wav and will
be completed and ready for work inside
OF thirty days.
1t is definitely known, also, that the
works Of the Baker Car Heater company
will also be located in the Union Pacific
yards at an early date. In fact, the
contractors have already taken out a
permit for the erection OF their build
inga There will be two buildings, To-
Gated on the south side of the Union
Pacific tracks, between the outhouses
and the Union Pacific elevator. These
shops will employ regularly about
twenty five hands.
There is also a rumor that the Pull
man company will locate its repair shops
in this city and work them in connec-
ton with tho other new enterprises
spoken of. II this report be true, it
means the location here OF very large
and important plant that will be valu-
able addition to the city and will viz
tually make it Pullman's western head
quarters.
r F. Wilson. of Chicago, q contractor,
won his suit in the federal court against
the city of Wichita for $4,000. Three
years ago Wilson Was given a contract
to pave Douglas avenue. the city's main
thoroughfare, with patent pavement
known as Jasperite, which has since
proved to be utterly worthless. The
pavement began breaking up even before
the work was completed and tho city re-
fused to pay for it. The city engineer,
however, had certified that three INSTALL
ments of the work had been done
according to contract, and his report
had been accepted by the council. and
on this showing Judge Williams gave
Contractor Wilson a verdict.
Sedan special: Charles Tabor and .
young man by the name of Basinger,
about Is years of age, who lives six
miles west of here. got into dispute
over some tools with which they were
fixing the hiS hway. Tabor became en-
ragged, and seemingly without any
provocation drew his revolver and fred
twice at Basinger. The second shot
took effect, killing him instantly. Much
indignation is expressed here, as Bas-
niger was peaceful fellow and there
was no real provoca:ion for the murder.

newspaper man. who still claims Kansas

ness manager Of the Knoxville Tenn.

World. Recently he has accepted tho

talent in his line and has q successful
future before him. The Kansas boys
are being favorably heard from in all
directions.
