CAN'T BUILD SUGAR MILL

A County or Township Can't Go Into Such
Business Says Judge Williams.
The case against Mission township for
payment of the liability under the double
liability clause of stockholders in corpo-
rations was decided by Judge Williams
at the recent session of the United States
district court at Fort Scott in favor of the
township.
Several years ago the township voted
$751; 900 in bonds to the aid of the Topeka
sugar works which were located in that
township. In exchange for the bonds
the township was given $4,000 of stock
IN the company. The company became
bankrupt and Wilson S. Dodge, q cred
itor, brought suit against the township
under the double liability clause in the
state law The case was prepared for
Dodge by David Martin, who is now
chief justice, and attracted a great deal
OF attention. Goddard & Valentine were
the attorneys for the township
BY agreement the case was tried
at Fort Scott instead of Tone
ka, and Judge Williams decided
that the double liability law is uncon-
stitutional as far as it applies to town
ships or cities and that the township had
no right to go into the sugar business bv
subscribing for stock in the concern.
The decision makes the bonds invalid
and Mission township will not even have
to pay the amount of the bonds voted.
1t also decides the much mooted CUES
ton OF whether townships may erect
mills or carry on any other business.

AT INDIANOLA AGAIN.
TheMysterious Diggers Have Been
at Work Once More.
A BOX TAKEN OUT OF THE EARTH

Near the Place Where the Iron Pot
and DemijOhn Were FOund-1nter-
est Revived i'm the Matter.
The people at Iadianola are kicking
themselves in their vexation. it is all
about the treasure find which has been
the talk of the north part of the county
for two weeks.
After it was discovered that something
had been found by unknown men who
dug around the old tree stump on the
Phillips farm in the night, the place at
once became the center of interest and
it was visited by hundreds of people who
looked with curious eyes at the places
where the iron pot and demijohn had
rested for years in mother earth.
Then the excitement quieted down,
and though the find was discussed in all
its phases, interest in the place where
the discovery was made, gradually died
out No one dreamed that there was
anything more to be found or the ground
might have been turned up to the depth
of ten feet
Just about the time the people were
finding something else to talk about,
some one happened to visit the place.
1t was last Saturday, and the visitor was

a fresh excavation had been made. He
would not have been more excited if he
had discovered gold mine, and he rushed
to the nearest house and told what he
had seen.
A crowd soon gathered and it was then
found that someone had tunneled from
where the demijohn had been taken out
of the ground, several feet and box had
evidently been found. It was easy to see
that box more than foot square had
been taken from the place at the end OF
the tunnel That was all the men dis
covered and every one of them had some
thing to say about how easy it would
have been for them to have found the
box themselves.
No strangers have been seen in the
neighborhood since the first digging had
been done and the last discovery has only
served to deepen the mystery surround
ing the whole affair. 1t is surmised that
the people who first found the iron POI
and demijohn only waited until the ex
element quoted down to continue their
search and that in the meantime they
hid what they had already found in q
safe place.
w. W. Phillips, who owns the place
where the digging has been done, wen
out to his farm today and he will make 6
thorough investi cation.

Military Band Its st. Joseph Trip.
Jackson's military band of twenty
seven pieces returned last night from st.
Joseph where they played three days
for the state meeting of the Missouri
knights of Pythias, colored. They gave
q concert at the Masonic Temple Thurs
day evening to 1900 people.
At Atchison Wednesday morning the
band stopped and played and took din
ner at a restaurant Mark Owens, one of
the drummers, went against a piece of
Atchison beefsteak tougher than the av-
erage Atchison citizen, and actually dis
located his jaw. A physician had to be
called before he could close his mouth.
Later on the train went of and left the
band on the platform in the middle OF a
piece, and had to be stopped for them.
The Atchison Globe says of this occur
renee:
That irrepressible colored band from
Topeka, which marched up and down
Commercial street yesterday, came down
from St Joe with the excursionists, filed
out upon the platform when the train
stopped and began playing a quickstep.
The noise drowned the all aboard of

the tune the Santa Fe commenced pull

Mansfield DeMoss Fined 500 for Selling
Liquor-One Other Case.
In the police court today Mansfield
DeMoss. a colored man who is better
known as "Manse" for short, was fined
800 for selling liquor. 1t was proved
to Judge Ferry's satisfaction that DeMoss
was the general manager of a flourish
ing young joint in the neighborhood of
the Missouri Pacific junction. "Manse"
was defended by Judge Ferry's prede-
cessor. J. S. Ensminger. He appealed
the case to the district court
"Manse" is a familiar figure about
town. He used to draw beer at Nick
ChiIds' joint. In some respects he would
make an admirable policeman. He
rarely says anything and he peers into
the face of everyone he meets with a
searching look more becoming to an
officer than a citizen.
The only other case in court today was
that of Lawrence johnson, a colored
man, charged with peddling without a
license. His case was continued.
