Certainly more like q romance, and an old
fashioned one at that, reads the sketch Of
the life OF Mrs. E. Champion, widow Of
George Champion, who lives at No. IS Mel
rose Avenue, Elgin, III. Mrs. Champion
who is a second cousin Of the Rt. Hon. John
Bright, NJ. p, Is now In her Send year.
Her husband, George Champion, was an
English merchantmen and ship owner, who
made trips TO all the distant countries Of the
earth. In about the year 1s42 he made his
last voyage and was wrecked with all on
board In terrible storm OF the coast OF
Africa His partner and Mrs. Champion
succeeded In getting the ship back to Eng
land and when 1t was sold and all debts paid
the subject OF this sketch started life once
land, with two shillings in money and four
small children.
A little business was started and with the
aid Of the children she made and sold fancy
work. After few years the Oldest son came
TO America and in 1854 sent for mother and
remaining children. The little business was
sold, and with light hearts and happy
thoughts the little family sailed away; but
sad fate again seemed to follow this good
woman. During the time taken for the voy-
age the son In America was taken Ill and
died and the termination Of the voyage was
mingled with the most terrible sorrow In
stead of anticipated joyfulness. This brave
woman did not turn back, she started for
the West and after visiting friends few
days In other parts of Illinois located in
Elgin.
Again the fancy work business was
started, after q few years the little store
was purchased. A building was built and
paid for, but again cruel fate was not salts
fed, fire, the great destroyer, in one night
leveled to the ground this building and all
was complete loss, and the excitement
brought on nervous prostration and this,
brave woman never left her bed, then on
commencing to get around was so weak and
Frustrated that at different times she fell
and broke both arms
Sixteen months ago after twenty years of
suffering she read in the Ei0ia Daily Netcs,
testimony OF many aged people who had
been benefited by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
from such reliable people, many of whom
she knew prompted her to try them and her
words are here quoted:
81 think DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People wonderful remedy. They
have certainly made me better and stronger
than have been for years. My whole nerv-
Gus system for years has been toned up

have added years to my life and although
can neverhope to be a perfectly well woman
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
will make the last years OF my life better
and happier"

BILLY MORAN Is FREE
John Davis Thought lie Took Shot in the
Right.

Day before yesterday John Davis,
county attorney dismissed the case Of
the state VS.. Billy Moran of Cheney
and informed the prosecuting witness
that he ought TO be glad that he was
alive.
The prosecuting witness is named
Walter Browning, and it appears that
he was high roller with the fair sex.
Billy Moran has two fair daughters
named Emma and Ida and some time
ago Walter Browning escorted them
to a dance Instead Of bringing them
home ait a seaSonable hour as a cultur-
ed young man ought TO do he drove
them towTds their parental residence
about O'Clock in the morning. While
the girls went in to their fathers home
he waited outside 50 that he would be
ready to defend them in case their
father offered to chastise them. That
is exactly what Billy Moran proceeded
to do when his daughters entered over
his threshold and they ran out to Wal
ter for protection and the old man took
after them. Walter was a man OF
some chivalry and he kept the old man
at bay Mr.. Moran then returned 10
his house, took down his fOwling piece
from the nail on the wall and took a
shot at Mr.. Browning. For this Mr..
Browning had him arrested.

1T sUsTAINs THE WIDOW
Supreme Court Renders a Decision in the
Fry Case in Favor of the Sons Wife.

SbpHcihe court henuers Dcclstoh III ING
Fry Case in Favor Of the sons Wife.
Yesterday Judge Wall received a tel
egram from the clerk of the supreme
court announcing that the case Of Sam
uel Fry, ct al VS.. Daniel Fry, ct al.
had been affirmed by that court. This
is the ending OF a very interesting and
quite important case that was tried be-
fore the district court Of this county in
1890, and the questions of law involved
makes 1t doubly interesting to the Ie-
gal profession. A brief statement Of
the case is as follows:
Samuel Fry, the father Of Albert Fry
deceased, had agreed with his son to
give him a quarter section of land if he,
the son, would improve and cultivate
the land and assist in paying therefor.
In accordance with the contract the son
had made valuable and lasting improv-
ments before mis- death. Soon after he
died Samuel Fry by subterfuge gained
possession Of the land and held it
against the sons widow and minor child
The case was tried and a verdict rem
dered against the widow. A new
trial was granted and the case more
forcibly presented with better results
and the jury found for the widow and
against Samuel Fry. From this judg-
ment the case was appealed TO the su-
preme court where 1t has since been
pending.
At the trial in the lower court it was
one of the most holly contested cases
that was tried before Judge Reed.
Judge Wall represented the widow and
minor son, while Harris and VermiliOn
appeared for the plaintiff. The land
involved is a valuable farm in the east
ern part of Sedgwick county, and as
a result Of the sons industry was in a
high state of cultivation.
Particulars of the decision could not
be obtained but the fact that the low
er court has been affirmed restores to
the widow the farm together with "a
large sum las damages given for the
detention of the place.
The effect of this decision finally de-
cideS the controversy that real proper
ty can be transferred by parol gift,
when the donee enters the premises
and makes lasting and valuable i'm
provements thereon
Nearly the entire neighborhood will
congratulate the widow on the success
full termination of her suit, as she had
the sympathy Of all who were acquain-
ted with the facts in the case.

SENT TO WICHITA
SUPREME COURT SAYS TELEPHONE
CASE WILL BE TRIED HERE

Superintendent Chipchase's Case Tried on
Writ of Habeas Corpus in November
Wherein He Asked to be Released From
Custody for Violating an Unlawful Or
dinance was Decided Yesterday and
Sent Here for TriaI-City Attorney De-
clares This is Verdict as TO the Valid
ity of License Ordinance.
The supreme court yesterday gave a
decision in the telephone case of this city
in which they refuse to discharge Super
in tendent Chipchase from custody, upon
the motion filed and argued in the ha-
'beas corpus case, and have decided that
the case must be tried upon its merits
at Wichita.
1t will be remembered that the city
council passed an ordinance requiring
that the telephone company Of this city
should pay a certain license tax before
operating their telephones, and also pro-
vided a penalty for each day that the
company conducted business without
paying such license.
The question came up frequently in
the council and several propositions
were made which We're rejected by the
council, and the time Of operation of the
ordinance was established and the same
took effect.
Mr.. Chipchase, by instructions from
his company, refused 10 pay the
license and was arrested as provided in
the license ordinance. He refused to
give bond, and for day or two was
constructive prisoner. While he was
thus deprived(0 Of his liberty, c. V.
Ferguson appeared before the supreme
court and secured a writ of habeas cor
pus.
The case was brought before the court
in November, when it was argued by
the attorneys. The telephone company
alleging that the ordinance was unlaw-
full and contrary to the interstate COM
merce law; that the city had no juris-
diction outside Of its corporation, and as
the business of the company extended
not only beyond the incorporated limits
but also beyond the boundary of the
state that the city was requiring a tax
upon a business over which they had no
jurisdiction, and a large number of al
legged irregularities.
The city of Wichita alleged that it had
the same right to levy a tax upon the
company as the state had a right to levy
a tax upon a railroad company which
extended beyond the state.
The arguments We're submitted in No
venber, but the court did not make
known its decision until yesterday. The
city attorney declares that the decision
is a victory for the position assumed by
the city council, but the attorney for
Mr. Chipchase was not seen as to his
views of the decision, and whether it is
a victory or not for either side the Eagle
does not attempt to say.
Mr.. Chipchase was called up by phone,
last night and asked as 10 what We're
his views as to the purpOrt Of the de-
cision. He said he had just returned TO
Wichita and had not heard the decision,
and when the dispatch was read to him
said he was not prepared to make any
q SIN tarroent in refaraDcea IN the case.
