Tired of Restraint.

Mrs. F. Zirka called at the sheriff 8
Office yesterday to induce him to bring
back runaway boy, who was last heard
from at Mosier. Jim is IL years old, an
incorrigible who attended school here
in very desultory manner-the choice
being the school or taking care of some
smaller brothers and sisters, while his
mother helped to replenish the -four
barrel by the various methods open to
her. But Jim, tired of both pursuits,
believed he could do better by pursuing
his own way in life, unhindered by an
impertinent maternal solicitude. He
wanted to work while until he saved
up thousand dollars and then retire on
an income. Consequently he trudged
off toward Portland last week and got
as far as Mosier, where he was held by a
family at that place until his folks
could be heard from. The sheriff is in
Portland, but it is likely on his return
he will stop off at the present way point
of Jim's career and ingloriously bring
him back.

Cases Brought in Several Federal
Courts Of New York.

New York Dec. 5.-The World this
morning says
A test case has been brought in each
of the several federal courts OF New
York to test the liabilities Of n0u-resi-

The law Of Kansas provides that stock
holders shall be responsible to the
amount Of their stock, and it remains to
be seen Of this obligation within the
state can be made binding upon those
resident in other states
The amount involved i'm the present
suits is nearly $50 900. but the ultimate
results OF the actions viii determine the
ownership of many millions in New
y ork state alone, and more or less in all
the eastern states. The suits are
brought by the National Bank of Com
merce of Kansas City against 20 New
