Sensational Action Against the Santa
Fe Railroad.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 5.-Westcrn
railroad circles have a sensation in a
second receivership for the Santa Fe.
The road and equipment in Kansas
was this afternoon placed in control
OF State Senator Charles f. johnson
OF Oskaloosa, Kansas. Judge Louis
II. Myers OF the First district this
afternoon at Oslzaloosa made the ap-
pointment and ordered him to take
charge Of the property Of the Santa
re Railroad company in Kansas.
The property consists Of nearly 500
miles Of railroad, together with de-
pots, Office buildings, real estate aud
other property.
The action which resulted in the
rcceivership is brought under the
Kansas law Of 1884,. which provides
that no corporation, more than 20
per cent OF whose capital stock is
owned by aliens shall acquire real cs-
