The supreme court on April 3rd ov-
erruled the motion of the Iowa bank
for rehearing in the case in which
our cane growers are interested and
the state auditor, after consultation
with the attorney general, sent ST $751;
so to Judge Funk on the 4th to be dis
tributed among the different farmers
who had their vouchers made out and
sworn to. The remaining portion of
the appropriation is to be divided
among twelve different parties and it
will be sent as soon as those to whom
it is due make out their papers in legal
form. The money is paid through
Judge Funk by consent of the cane
growers. Once more we congratulate
our farmers on their partial victory.

w. W. Cook will become proprietor of
a large newspaper somewhere in the
Big Seventh. All of this is to take
place in consequence of trade which

er of 200 acres of land near this city
and Mr.. Cook became he possessor
of the Legate printing plant at Leaven-

Through the agency of E. Jameson, the
job and newspaper plant of James F.
Legate was today traded to WV Cook
of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, for 1900
acres of lard near that town. Mr.
Cook is vice president of a bank at

in the big Seventh district.
The Legate printing plant is at pres

out, but he intimated to a reporter
that tho material would probably be
moved from Leavenworth and a news
paper started somewhere in the Seventh

Asked if he intended to move on his
newly acquired farm, Mr.. Legate said:
You bet your sweet life" He was
probably joking about it.
