THE SNAKE LEET.

Ed Eldridge and Postmastner Jewett's
boy went out to the farm and caught an
owl and bull snake. When they came
home they measured the snake around
and found that a cage they had ou hand
would hold him. When they had turned
their backs the snake disgorged four
gopbers and stole his way out the bars
with ease. When they returned to the
cage they found the four gophers impris-
oned in it, but no snake. They thought
the snake was some kind of a witch that
turned himself into the gophers and did
not know any better till Judge Jewett.
who is well versed in the tricks of the bull
snake, explained matters to them.

CATTLE INTERESTS.

Mr.. Weden, a prominent stock man of
Clark county, was in the city last night.
He stated that the stock interests of west
ern Kansas are in a highly prosperous con-
dition, with splendid outlook for the
future. The grass, he says, has grown
wonderfully during the past two or three
weeks and is putting flesh on the cattle
rapidly. He thinks that western Kansas
will gradually become a grazing country.
He says it is a splendid cattle country and
It's broad acres of prairie will be more
valuable to the state for pasturage than
for agricultural purposes.

Somewhat of an alteration arose last
night when farmer who lives near the
city preparatory to going home went to
look for his horse and buggy and found
them put up at an adjoining barn by the
police.
The mare is a sorrel and was hitched to
a top buggy. A colt WAS with her. She
was standing near the corner of Douglas
and Topeka avenues and had been stand
ing there for some time.
The colt would run up and down the
street so that the mother in her excite
ment reared uD and got straddle Of the
hitching place.
The seat of the buggy was soaked, for
the owner had let the top remain down.
La this condition the outfit WAS found
by the police and placed in the barn. After
great deal of auiboling the owner paid
the 80 cents and departed

laent with reference to the case.
Whereas, Heretofore, o. ID. Barnes, as
nlaintiff, commenced in this court an
action against John A. Doran, as county
treasurer. the city of Wichita, Kansas.
and ". a. Carvin. as county clerk OF
Sedgwick county, Kansas, aud that also
Henry Schweiter has, as plaintiff, also com
menced in this court an action against the
said defendants, just mentioned, TO re-
strain and enjoin them from the coliec-
tion of certain special assessments and
lakes as set forth in their said petitions.
.And whereas, Said actions have been
submitted to the court upon agreed state
ment of facts filed respectively in each

thereon.
And whereas, It is the intention of the
parties against whom judgment may be
rendered in said action, TO appeal there
from to the supreme court OF the state OF

The court.
Now. therefore, in consideration of saw
ing labor and the expenditure of time

Judge Reeds opinion covered the sub
ject thoroughly and was SO long that 1T
made thirty-one type written pages, suffi-
cient TO fill six columns of this paper. In
Vulnerable authorities were quoted and
the work of looking up those authorities
caused the judge to burn the midnight oil
Oh many occasions
The case will be taken to the supreme
court on appeal.
Judge Reed thinks that his decision will
be sustained by the supreme court in

passed in the next legislature enabling the

preventive defects.

lican, who WAS burned out in January,
lost his barn by fire day before yesterday.
The fire took place al o'clock in the

that some tramp slept in it and in lighting
his pipe, set the place on fire The family
horse WAS got out by a scratch but his
cart and bass boat and fishing tackle and a
large amount OF slowed household effects
went up in the smoke. This is the third
