KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July 5.-The

and injuries to others. The dead are :
Henry Hoover, killed by a thrown

out to celebrate. A sham duel was
proposed and few shots were fired
when Peterson fell and an investigation
revealed that one of the wads had pene.

sin such large enterprises" he said,
"there is always bound to be some delay
from litigation, and l think thus far the
delay has been comparatively slight. AS
far as we have progressed we have acted
directly under the decisions of the Court.
Before the bonds were issued we
had them passed upon by the highest
Court in the State and their legality
placed beyond dispute. Today those bonds
are as good as gold and they will always
be 80. 1t has been ON this plan that all of
the work connected with the Boulevard
has been doue. Where the remotest
doubt has existed concerning any fact,
nothing has been done until the doubt
has been banished. That Is the reason 30
much care has been exercised in the
examination of titles to property before
Commissioners OF Condemnation have
been required to pass upon the land"
