played trophy IN the form of CORY
human finger. Who owned the finger is
uncertain, but Mr.. Beard thinks it be-
longed to postmaster at one OF the
way stations. Early In the morning q
door in the mail car was observed to DO
open, and when Beard attempted to
close it he found the finger in the jam
OF the door. He then recalled that g
postmaster at one of the stations had
fumbled about tho door after throwing
in the mail sack, but as no cutlery was
made he paid no attention to him. He
thinks the finger must have been his.

Topeka Capital: j. s. Collins OF this
city has sold the Swinburne ranch, the
price paid being S165,54825, an aver
age price of $13 per acre. The ranch con-
tanned about 1910 acres. twas sold to
seventeen different men, the smallest
purchaser taking 100 acres and the
largest purchaser 1887 acres, each taking
a deed direct from the owners for his
purchase, thus dividing the land at this
time among the respective purchasers
some of whom will subdivide their pur-
cnases into still smaller tracts. This is
the most important sale ever made in
this section of the state, as it will at
once add at least 20 tax payers to both
Shawnee and Jackson counties. Judge
M. L. Hayward of Nebraska City was
the largest purchaser and in addition tc
him the larger purchasers were Frank
P. Bradley, U. S. marshal of Iowa, the
Hon. Thomas Bowman, ex-Congressmar
of Iowa, now postmaster at Council
. Bluffs, his nephew. e. b. Bowman, jr.
Geo. W. Cable of Davenport, Iowa
Anthony Burdick, president of the Dav,
EXPORT Savings bank, Clinton Orcutt
capitalist, Oliver A. Kimmel, o. N. Mel
{ son and eight others. The Swinburn(
ranch was owned by DIR. John Swinburn(
, of Albany, who died some five years age
and left it to his wife, who also died
leaving it to eight heirs some three years
ago. The ranch is we'll known not only
in this part of Kansas but in the east al
ono of the finest tracts of land in ont
' body in the entire west. 1t is a very de
sirable purchase at $13 an acre, but {
t good sale for the present depressed times
