YESTERDAYS RUNAWAY.

E. D. Mayhem, driving a horse belonging
to the United Sash and Door company,
yesterday morning met with an exciting
and what might have been disastrous
accident. He was driving west on Douglas
and when crossing Market. 10 avoid run
ming over little child and colliding with
another buggy, ne drew his horse up some
what. A farmer driving north, crossing
Douglas, ran into the vehicle driven by Mr..
Mayhem and upset it. The occupant was
OF course thrown out. but was on his feet
again in an instant. Tue horse started,
dragging the buggy. fat on its side, past
the front of Billings store, Mi Mahew
holding to the lines, although the horse
was going pretty fast. Mr. B. f. Rowlee sat
in his carriage just in front of Luttrell's, his
horse facing the east. Mr.. Maphew's horse
pulled his buggy right under the feet of
Mr. Rowlee's horse For moment there
was IL bad mixture of horses and buggies.
Mr. Mathew got out OF the scrap with
badly SCARED horse and buggy, and Mr..
Rowlee with broken buggy and badly
frightened horse. 1t was narrow escape
from perileus accident.

JUSTICE COURT,

The gambling case of the State of Kan
sas against John Jennings which was on
trial yesterday forenoon before Judge
Tucker and jury resulted in a verdict of
guilty. the jury arriving at verdict upon
the first ballot. This is the case prosecut-
ed by complaint sworn to by Mrs. Agnew,
in which Senator Bentley appeared for the
prosecution and Joseph E. Henley repre-
scented the defense. The principal witness
was young man named William A.
Agnew, who was minor at the time of
the gambling. The case WAS prosecuted
with considerable vigor and some little
strife arose between counsel and some of
the witnesses.
When the verdict was rendered The Judge
assessed fine OF $50 against the defend
ant, he was sent to Jail for nonpayment of
the same and Senator Bentley walked
down town with broad smile "What's
that" said he later Oh when message
came to Kim that Joe Henley had appli ed
for writ of habaes corpus in the probate
court to get Jennings released. Both
members of the firm went to defend the
action of the jury and Justice Tucker, but
without avail, for Justice Stratton granted
the writ and Jennings was liberated. The
writ was applied for on the grounds that
Justice Tucker had no jurisdiction over
the case. 1t appears that the complaint
was made under section 239 of the crimes
act, and under this the penalty may be
made 81, 600, whereas justice of the peace
has no jurisdiction in cases where the
penalty for crime may be more than $500

LOST HIS EYE.

The little eight-year-old son Of Mr..
Chas Smith, who lives near the watch
factory, met with very painful accident
Sunday last which resulted in the loss OF
an eye. He was playing with some per-
cussion caps used in the toy pistols. He
was exploding these with stones when a
piece flew up and struck him in the cor
ner of the left eye, going, DR.. Hamilton
thinks, entirely through the bail and
lodging in the socket. Up to yesterday
morning the eye had swollen to frightfui
proportions. The father took the little
sufferer to DR.. Hamilton, who. with the as
sIstance of DR.. Davis. took the eye out. 1t
caused the most excrucating pain, and
was dreadful loss to the little fellow.
At last accounts he was resting comfort

that the Americans bear an extremely

THE MISSOURI RIVER SCHEME.

Our present freight rates impose burdens
upon every citizen of Kansas west OF her
eastern boundary; they add to the cost OF
every article shipped into the state; they
reduce the price of every pound or bushei
shipped out of the state; they discourage
immi gration; they give US an unequal
start in the race for commercial suprem-
acy; they make it to the interest OF the
farmer, merchant or manufactures to To-
cate on the Missouri side OF an imaginary
line, which imposes no natural penalties;
they have robbed the people of Kansas of
millions of good, hard earned dollars.

A FINE DAIRY.

Butler county with her almost innumer-
able springs and streams is, or shonld be
the paradise for dairymen, and it is in
fact. W. j. Mendenhall whose place is in
the suburbs of Ell Dorado is one of the
most successful dairymen of that county.
He milks seventy-fve Holstein cows, fat
spotted beauties that produce oceans of
the whitest milk and cream. He supplies
several of the ice cream men and hotels of
Wichita daily by the Missouri Pacific
railroad and from the appearance of his
complete establishment and accessories we
should say that he could supply many
more.

The trees around the new Episcopal
church have been trimmed recently, a fact
which adds materially to the looks OF the
building and its surrounding. The church
is now one of the handsomest eGificss in

a pretty name. "The new stone church"
is hardly appropriate for such handsome
building, nor is it suggestive enough for
an Episcopal church.
