TELEPHONE WARFARE.
Harrison phone Ordered Sold Under
Two Judgments by Judge Hazen.

Harrison Phone Ordered Sold Under
Two Judgments by Judge Hazen.
The property of what is commonly
called the Harrison Telephone company
in Topeka was ordered sold under two
judgments by Judge Hazen of the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon.
The company was interested in four
cases in the court yesterday afternoon.
The city Real Estate & Trust COM
pany as trustees conducted the suits
and two judgments against the com
pany were rendered, aggregating near
Iy $82, 900 on bonds and claims
Of this D. w. Nellis as trustee, gets
$40 900, and E. A. Roster gets nearly
ST.. 600.
1t was understood to be a perfectly
friendly suit and it is possible there
will be no sale even after the 80 days
stay granted yesterday by Judge Ha-
zen is is exhausted
AT any rate said Mr.. Tomlinson,
treasurer and manager Of the COM
pany, the business will so on exactly
the same"
The only contest was in regard to the
HOltOn toll line.
Just after the appointment of the re-
ceiver for the Harrison company, the
Missouri & Kansas company cut the
wire of the Harrison cOmpany's HOl-
ton toll saying that the builders of the
line, Rhinehart & Logan had sold it to
whom it was first sold, had failed to
pay for it.
This Judge Hazen said was a high
handed affair but that the NJ. & K.
company could have had the line, any
way.
The company that makes the Harri-
son phones asked judgment against the
Topeka company for SO, 900 yesterday
for old Harrison phones which it
claimed were purchased though after
wards taken out. The Topeka company
claimed to have simply had the instru-
ments on trial and had not bought
them. Judge Hazen sustained the To
pela company and the old and unsat-
isfactory telephones will not be paid

w. III. Chadwick Covers $4,000
Miles ON His Wheel.
Does If In Less Than Nineteen
Months.
WINS A $4,000 WAGER.
From British Columbia to the
Death Valley.
Rode In Every State In the
Union.

Chicago, July Civilian H. Chad
wick of Detroit won $4,000 yesterday
when he pedaled into Chicago on a BIZ
cycle and completed a ride of $4,000
miles in eighteen months and twenty
four days.
This beats previous records. Chad
wick has sampled the roads OF every
state in the union, visited two terr1tor-
les, touched Canadian SOIL as 1af as
Montreal, rode past the cOquettlSn
glances of Mexican sen"and dehed
chilling winds of British Columbia He
has ScOrched through Death Valley ana
had many narrow escapes.
For nearly two years he has been on
the wheel riding day and portion OF
the night when the man in the moon
helped him to see the roads. The trip
was one that proved a test to physical
endurance and perseverance. 1t re-
quired the swimming of nine streams,
when he strapped his saddle and rat1Ons
to his head and fOated the wheel across.
1t was attended with numerous headers
and a three weeks sickness in lone
ly hut in Manitoba among the Chlppe-
wa Indians, who nursed him back to
health. Adventures with tramps and a
ride for life in Wyoming amid a shower
of bullets were Incidental to the re-
markabIe journey, but Chadwick and
his wheel have reached Chicago safely
and ahead of time. The record and the
wager is his, and the cycling world is
wondering at the achievement.
Chadwick started from Detroit Janu-
airy l. 1895, when the snow was four and
one-half inches deep, and the there
mometer registered IA degrees below
zero. He cut off the tail of his over
coat, put on thick trousers and leg
gings. put a pair of mittens on his
hands and a cap down over his ears, and
then mounted his wheel to ride $4,000
miles in less than two years.
The man from Michigan, who has cap
tured the long distance record, is 29
years old and weighs 10 pounds.
Chadwick carried ratiOns for three
days at a time. His baggage could be
weighed in a pair of postal scales. All
the clothing he carried in the summer,
excepting the cycling suit he wore, was
two handkerchief, an extra change Of
undercIothes and a pair Of socks. He
did his own laundry work by the way
side, slept in deserted huts and barns,
and frequently spent the night under
trees.

Abilene, July 29.-HOn. W. l. Hayes OF
Clinton. Ia, and J. c. Murray of Ma
quoketa, in the same state, who nave
been in the city for two or three days
past, are here on business connected
with the claim Of George Niles watson
for possession Of the $5oOVOJ estate le1t
by Mott watson, who died q year or
two ago at AIaQuOketa, where he was
the weaIthiest citizen of the town
Mott Watson was a wealthy bachelor
and George Niles IS MS lllegltlLilat son.
though il was not until the death OF
the first wife of George A Niles of this
CITY that this fact was made known to
the young man. who had been taken, as
an infant by Mrs. Niles under con
tract with Watson to raise the child.
Judge Hayes says the fate of young
WatsOn's mother is wrapped in myS-
terry, for she disappeared from Maquo-
keta shortly after the birth of her son.
One line OF evidence indicates that she
returned a year or so afterwards and
then went to Chicago, where all trace OF
her was lost.
Young Watson bears a powerful facial
resemblance to Mott Watson, his re-
his father and never saw the son before
easily pick him out of a crowd by rea-
son of this resem blance.
Under the Iowa law an illegitimate
child can inherit from its father if he is
recognized in writing or by general re-
pute as such child. Such written &C
acknowledgements once existed but cannot
now be found, but witnesses are plenu-
full that Watson senior publicly ac-
knowledged paternity of the child
known for so many years as the son OF
George Niles of this city
The case is exciting general attention
in Iowa because of its romantic nature
and the large fortune involved. Former
supreme court rulings in cases almost
identical with this strengthen the belief
that the Abilene claimant will win
