A Novel Legal Method.

A novel method of getting rid Of men
In possession has been discovered by an
impecunious lady living in the Rue
Thiers in Paris In an unguarded mo-
ment she opsned the door to the men,
who had been watching their opportu-
nifty for some days. Finding what she
had done, she tried to frighten the men
by making a parade of legal learning.
There were severe penalties, she said,
for taking possession without securing
the attendance of the local police COM
missary The hailifs only laughed at
this, whereupon the lady went out to
complain, as she said, to the police and
locked them in her fat.
Shortly afterward she returned with
two policemen and said: ARREST these
men. They have broken into my place. !"
1t was in vain that the poor wretches
declared that they were honest brokers'
men Possibly their looks were suspi-
cious. AT all events, the policemen, while
muttering something about ''having
heard that sort of thing before, " march
ed them off to the police station. Ar
irving there, they were soon released
on production of evidence of their iden-
tity. The men contemplate an action for
false Imprisonment, but meanwhile they
have to devise fresh means to secure an
entry to the place from which they were
SO unceremoniously elected.

TIE BATTLE IS ON
Between the Topeka Water Company and
the City.

Between the Topeka Water Company and
the City.
The city of Topeka at last resents the
imposition of the Topeka Water compa-
nay and suit was filed today in the
United States district court by City At
torney TilIotson to compel the water
company to comply with the terms of its
contract with the city or quit business.
Judge Foster has set the case for hear
ing next Monday
Some time ago the council refused to
order the payment of the semi annual
hydrant rental amounting to $1,000
Since then nothing has been done,
but the receiver of the company has
talked of compromising the trouble with
the city. 1t was apparent that nothing
would be done Oy the company, so City
Attorney Tillotson commenced the pre-
sent suit, which will bring matters to a
climax. and the city will know whether
1t has any rights under its contract with
the water company.
The suit is brought on the strength of
the tests of the fire pressure and the
purity of the water furnished by the
company, which were made several
AAOAbAc cSOs IL W oS 1OUuO bAab 0AtAO0S IA
the company had contracted to furnish
adequate fire pressure, that provision of
the contract is being continually violated,
and the pressure is sadly deficient. 1t
was also found by chemical analysis
that the clause in the contract which
says they will furnish ''Dure, wholesome
water" is meaningless, and that the
water furnished is of such a quality that
the chemist in his report pronounces it
deleterious to the public health"
"In consideration of the facts as found
existing in the conduct of the water COM
pany, the city attorney asks that the court
compel the company to comply with the
terms Of the contract with the city. He
also asks that fair and equitable rates
for water service be fixed by the court
The city attorney asks that if it is
found impossible or impracticable for
the water company to comply with the
terms of the contract that the court may
order the contract cancelled.
If the contract with the city is cam
celled the city will not be required to
pay the $4,000 annual hydrant rental
until new contract is made. 1t is
doubtful if new contract which would
be satisfactory eau ever be made.
The plans for the new works are
nearly finished and may be ready to be
presented to the council at the next
meeting.

INTERNATIONAL DIFFICULTIES.
The Italians Killed at WaIsenberE Were
Not NaturaIiZed.


WALsENBURG, Colo, March 13-The
United States may have an International
complication on its hands as the result
of the mob violence here last night in
which five Italians who were believed to
have been unnaturalized, were killed.
After the attack on the wagon party last
evening as described ia the Associated
Press dispatches last night all was COM
paratively quiet until soon after mid
night.
About that time seven or eight men
wearing masks, knocked at the door of
the jail where Lorenzo Danino, who was
charged by the Italians with having
struck the blow that killed Hixon on Sun
day. and the Italian wounded in the wag-
on attack, were confined. In answer to a
question, the men said O'Malley, the
sheriff wanted to enter. As soon as the door
was opened the guard found guns in their
faces.
Part Of the masked men then went to
the cell where the two Itilians were con-
fined and fred eight or ten shots. Each
prisoner received four or five bullets
One died instantly, but the other lived
short time in great agony. No trace has
yet been found of the three Italians who
were taken from the wagon, though
they we're killed beyond a doubt The
list of dead and missing is:
Joseph Welsby, driver of the wagon,
Lorenzo Danino, Pete Jocobiny, Antonio
Gobotto, Stansilo Vittano, Francisco Roc
cetto.
The other five suspects had been re-
leased from custody before the mob
arose. Some fears were enter
tanned at Rouse last night that the
Italians who there outnumber the Amer
leans, and other nationalities might rise
up and attack their neighbors in revenge.
Nothing of the sort happened, nor is it
much anticipated, but the feeling is so
intense that should an uprising occur
the Italians would be exterminated.
