FIRST OF ITS KIND.
Irrigation Litigation of Which
There May Be More
IN KANSAS IN YEARS TO COME.

One Farmer in Finney County to be
Arrested Tor Using Moro Than His
supply OF Water.
w. II. FAINT, a farmer living near Gar
den City is about to feel the force of the
law under which Debs was arrested for
interfering with the operation of rail-
road in the hands of receivers of the
United States court.
FAINT did not interfere with the oper-
alton of a railroad but he had the tenn
Gritty to take more than his share of water
from an irrigation ditch which is in
charge of T. E Dewey as receiver for the
United States court.
FAINT and his neighbor, John Gilmore,
both have farms on one of the lateral
supply bitches of the Kansas canal
owned by the Garden City Irrigation
company. They had trouble and Pant
damned up the lateral ditch and pre-
vented the water flowing farther than his
farm to get even with Gilmore. He and
Gilmore then had fist fight and both
were arrested. The other farmers living
on the lateral ditch, who were affected
by Pants action also objected, and today
Senator Milt Brown, acting as attorney
for the receiver of the ditch filed papers
in the United States court requiring Pant
to appear before Judge Foster, and show
reason why he should not be punished
for contempt for interfering with the
operation of the ditch, which is in the
hands of the court

CLOSING UP IT'S DEAL.
The Belmont Morgan Syndicate Will Soon
Finish Its Contract.

CHICAGO, June ga special from
New York says: 1t is rumored in fnan-
cial circles that the Belmont Morgan
syndicate is closing up its transactions
with the government; that the balance
of the bonds sold on European account
will soon be delivered in London and
that the mem bers of the syndicate would
then receive from the managers thereof
their share of the profits of the transact
ton.
According to members of the syndi-
cate, however, the rumor is little pre-
mature, as the syndicate has still good
deal of gold to import under its contract
with the government, but they said SO
we'll had the syndicate managers done
their work there would in little while
be no obstacle to the closing up of the
syndicate accounts.
If the contract were to be carried out
literally the syndicate would yet have to
import $16,813,000 more gold, but it is
thought the secretary of the treasury
may have consented to certain modifica-
tions of the contract in the interest both
of the government and syndicate.
The acceptance by the treasury of a
deposit of gold, amounting to $40, 49,,
O00 on account of the foreign
portion of the bonds, is believed
to have been done in connection
with and in fulhllment of the clause
of the contract requiring the
syndicate as far as possible to maintain
the gold reserve and prevent exporta-
ton of gold during the life of the con-
tract.
That deposit, it is said, was simply a
clearing transaction; a large order of
gold for Austria was filed in London
instead of in this country through Mr..
Morgan's effort, In this way the syndicate
prevented an expectation of gold and all
the bad effects thereof and was saved the
necessity of importing gold to make up
the deficiency. They did it by selling
sterling bills freely when exchange was
high.

RAID THAT FAILED.
A Detail of Police Make a Water-haul
Sunday Afternoon.

A Detail of Police Make a Watsr-haul
Sunday Afternoon.
Some man with a depraved sense of
humor played mean trick on the Tope-
ka police Sunday afternoon. A tele-
phone message announced that there
was big crap game in progress in the
stone barn on the alley bounded by Kan :
sas avenue, Quincy, Seventh and Eighth
streets.
Captain Gardiner called to Sergeant
Donovan to follow him and they were
reinforced on the way by Officers Gaines
and Purcell. The officers divided and
the barn was approached stealthily from
every direction. The charge was made
simultaneously. There was some dis
appointment when it was found that the
only occupant of the barn was an old
man diligently currying a horse. He
politely told the police that it was a
false alarm, and that he does not tolerate
crap games in his barn.
The officers think they know who it
was who put up the job Their suspi-
cions are strengthened by the fact that
the person in question is gleefully tell
ing the story to everyone he meets.

A WOODEN MILL IN TOWN.
Wm.AppIeyard Suggests Starting It in the
Old Kansas Packing House.

Wm.AppIeyard Suggests Starting It in the
Old Kansas Packing House.
William Appleyard has not given up
the wooden mill project The machinery
has been taken from the cars and stored
in the old Kansas packing house at the
foot of Madison street There is now
over $1,000 of freight and storage bill
against it and there is no settlement of
the controversy in sight The big new
wooden mill building stands in Oakland
unused while the small boys are amusing
themselves throwing stones through its
windows.
Mr.. Appleyard has given up hope of
settlement of the difficulty with the
company, and he does not think that the
machinery will ever be put into the
building. but he says that the place
where the machinery is stored would be
an excellent place to start wooden mill.
He says that it would require a small ex-
penditure of money to get the building
in shape, but the location would be excel
lent and there is already a switch built
to the place.
Mr. Appleyard says that the wooden
mill at Independence, Mo, is a success,
and he is sure the Topeka mill would be
if it could be started.

A Little Story About Mr.. Hanks of Wyan-
dotte and a Stuffed Whale.
A Topeka politician tells this story on
Bill Hanks who has lately been made
deputy fish warden for Wyandotte
county.
Bill knows his business and is careful
of it. Nothing escapes his eagle eyes
and if there is fish on his side of the
river in the county that he isn't per-
sonally acquainted with, the fish is GER
tainly not highly aristocratic one.
The other day Bill was sailing down
Minnesota avenue in Kansas City, Kan
sas, when he suddenly found himself
confronted by an immense banner adj
vertising a monster stuffed whale that
WAS on exhibition in the empty store
room.
"Hello," said Bill, II must look into
this"
He was stopped at the door by a
greasy-looking man who demanded ten
cents.

Everybody pays that who gets in

"Not much; 1 DON'T" said Bill; 81

of this county," and in he went.

Whitt1esey johnson Couldn't Tell Wheth-
err His Cow Had Horns or Not.
Whittlesey johnson has great deal OF
trouble. Last week Mrs. johnson began
suit against him for divorce. Then Mr..
johnson undertook to sell COW at auc-
ton and sold the wrong cow. If he had
been sober the mistake would probably
not have occurred. Mr. Johnson owns
what is described as "muley COW" that
was pat through the dehorning process
when she was young
His neighbor had a COW answering the
same description, member of the house
of Holstein, only its horns had been al
lowed to take their normal growth With
this exception the COWS were very much
alike.
johnson sold che COW at Sixth and
Quincy streets for $50, under the impress
sion that it was his animal Its real
owner appeared just as the purchaser
was about to lead her away, and endeav-
ored to convince Johnson that he had
sold the wrong COW. Johnson is said to
have been so intoxicated he couldn't tell
whether the cow had horns or not. Then
the purchaser thought he was getting
the worst of the argument and he took
hand in it. There is no telling where
the discussion would have ended had not
Officer Gaines happened along just then.
He took in the situation and returned
the COW to her rightful owner. johnson
was arrested for being drunk and was
fined So co.

HIS STORY IN NEW GUISE.

W. c. Campbell Has Some Difficulty Recog-
nizing One of His Efforts.
W. c. Campbsll has had an experience
which he considers we're disagreeable.
Ar. Campbell is a we'll known story
writer, and his Imagination carries him
often into the realms of fancy.
Last fall he wrote a story on hypnot-
ism, which was published at the time.
He did not intend that it should be taken
as true: 1t was simply a story.
MI. campbell had almost forgotten the
publication, and he was considerably
startled when in Kansas City paper last
Sunday he found his story under a Tope-
ks date line, published as news It had
been revamped, but the points were the
same as before published, and worse than
all, he was given as authority for the
story.
Mr.. Campbell is now wondering wheth-
or his friends will consider him the cham
pion liaE.
