WILL THIS CAUSE WAR.
Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 20.-At meet
ing of the board of county commiss-
toner's yesterday County Surveyor ].
w. Reagan informed the board that
after careful investigation he had dis
covered that the boundary line between
Kansas and Missouri, which is also
the eastern boundary Of this county
is nearly half mile too far vast and
that a strip Of land half a mile wide
and comprising 1000 acres now suppos-
ed to be in Missouri. really belongs to
Kansas. The information was a COM
plete surprise TO the commissioners,
but as Surveyor Reagan had the office
figures to back his statement, they ac-
cepted 1t as correct.
The matter was carefully considered
and upon motion it was decided to re-
fer the perplexing question to Congress

peka, will file tomorrow in the United
States supreme court motion to ad-
vance the Kansas mortgage redemption
case. Under the rules of the court,
no remarks will be allowed on the mer-

the court that the attorney for the de-
PENDANT, z. a. McMath, formerly OF
Topeka, but now of Dallas, has agreed
that the case shall be advanced to April

made to have NIcMath revise his con-

advanced on the conditions named "a
Their than have il take its turn. which
would leave it pending in the supreme
court for about four years.
The court cannot pass upon the mo-
ton to advance the case before Satur-
day next, Indeed, it often happens
that such matters hang UP in the court
for weeks and months and j. will be re
marl<able if it is passed upon in a week
The motion 10 advance the case will
be set forth as follows: I'VE ask the
advancement of this case because the
last decision, rendered therein by the
supreme court of the state of Kansas af-
fects the interest of many thousands OF
persons residing within the state of
Kansas, and a great number of people
residing elsewhere: because Ii involves
and affects property amounting TO
many millions of dollars, unsettles
great numbers of titles TO real property
and will be productive of a vast amount
Of litigation. in IT'S far reaching re-
suits it is of vast public concern"
