WAITS I3 YEARS.
Long and Interesting Law Suit
of Sam Wickery
A wellington Man Run Over By
Stage,
GIVEN A JUDGMENT.
I. d. BOwersock Then Attaches
the Money on a Claim.
Now Judge Brunette Finds Gen
orally For Wiekery.

wellington. July 3.-Thirteen years
ago next month Samuel Wickery OF
Sumner county was run over by an
omnibus belonging to the Southwestern
Stage coropany in Caldwell. On August
13. 1883. he brought suit against Henry
TisdaIe of Lawrence, the owner of the
omnibus line, and on June 2, 1883. re-
covered judgment for $4,000, interest
and costs.
Mr. Tisda1e is we'll known here and
the bus line in this city is owned by
him. When Wickery came to enforce
his judgment by levy, J. D. BOwersOck
of Lawrence appeared and claimed
everything under a chattel mortgage
He repleVined the property, but JudS-
ment was given against him Bow
ersOck appealed and the case was re
manded by the appellate court The
case came up again this term and
WicEery'S attorneys set up an entirely
neWE4elairn-in Kansas Jurisprudence.
Ihey set up claim that the prop
erty in controversy had deprecated
and asked for personal judgment
against BOwersock for the amount of
depreciation, as well as return of the
property. The case was tried without
a jury and yesterday Judge Burnette
rendered a decision as follows:
He found from the evidence that
BowersOck's chattel mortgage was
fraudulent and void; that it was given
by Tisda1es ana taken by BOwersOck for
the express and only purpose of de-
frauding Tisdale's creditors and that
BowersOck had never taken possession
of the property as owner, mortgage or
otherwise. lie further finds that this
property has deprecated 81, 225 in value
since it was levied upon and that in
addition to having the property sold to
satisfy his judgment against TiSdale,
1Vickery is also entitled to a judgment
for this 81. 225 against BOwersock. The
questions of law upon which this per
sonal judgment against BOwersOck is
based are entirely new to Kansas law
and all the probabilities are the case
will be again appealed to the supreme
court.

PATCHEN'S DAY.
The Kansas PAGER Won Over
Gentry Easily.
Took Two Straight Heats In
2:O5 1-2 and 2:O6 ga.
GENTRY A FAVORITE
But the Bay Flew In the Air
Just Before the Wire.
Six Thousand Persons Saw the
Great Contest.

Chicago, July yesterday afternoon
at Washington park Joe Patchen- re
peated his performance at the track
last August when he humbled the pride
of John r. Gentry. This match, their
first meeting in 1896, was a two-heat
affair, and Patchen won in straight
heats decfsiValy That the public likes
two heats as we'll as three, if not better,
was attested by the attendance. Six
thousand people saw the race. Boln
horses were enthusiastically received
on their appearance
Gentry's supporters lost heart when
he failed promptly to improve his ad-
vantage in the start When his sup
posed superior condition, as shown by
the mile in 2:O312 last week. Gentry
should, they argued, get away from
Patchen at the very outset He did not
All the way around to the far turn
Patchen led, the most of the time by
length. There however, Andrews
sent his charge along and the crowd
became enthusiastic.
Before they were well Strengthened
out for home, Gentry was on even
terms, but the big black drew steadily
away again until near the eighth pole,
where Andrews began to drive, and in
a few strides Gentry was head and head
with the big fellow, and the crowd
shouted Gentry wins" but suddenly,
the bay horse faltered and then went
into the air, and Patchen went under
the wire an easy winner.
The time by quarters was: 3215; 1903;
1876; 2.O51A. The conditions We're pretty
favorable for good time, the track be-
ing very fast and the weather hot but
a brisk breeze up the stretch had some
effect.
The crowd anticipated that Gentry
would not break the next heat. The
black at once set out the pace, and the
majority of old hOrsemen present, OBJ
serving the action of each horse, con-
cluded long before this heat was finish
ed that the race was over. Patchen
Travelled the entire mile with machine
like precision. A great part of the time
his lead amounted almost to two
lengths. Andrews waited for the drive
as long as he dared in the stretch and
then closed in little, but by the time
he was within a length of his gliding
opponent. Gentry cone more faltered and
broke and everything was over Patch
en- won easily. Time by quarters: 32A /;
1929; 1864; 2:O6%.
Had there been betting, Gentry would
have been the favorite before the first
heat. There is no doubt that Patchen
is in great form. After the race Curry
said if the big black did not get wrong
this year he would beat Robert Us mark
of 2:0175.

MEND THE PAYMENTS.
An Opportunity to Make Them De-
cent Before the Fail Festival

The city council is just now consider
ing what to do with the asphalt pave
ment.
The Barber company is anxious to
have the pavements repaired to keep
the asphalt from falling into disrepute
and Mr.. Kasson, a representative of the
company, is here today driving over
the city to make a thorough inspection
of the pavements. The councilmen do
not know what is to be done until they
hear from the result of the investiga-
lions.
The pavements are in terrible shape
and in some places they are next to i'm
passable for vehicles. If the city will
be compelled to pay for the repairs
they will cost many times more than if
they had been made before the pave
"A stitch in time saves nine will apply
in this case.
The pavements will be repaired be-
fore the Reunion and Fail Festival be-
cause it would be a lasting disgrace to
have 100000 strangers here and the
streets in such a terrible condition and
the city council knows it.
The council will not know for some
time how the repairs will be made.
The Barber representative will make
his report and then the council will
know just what it has got to do to put
the pavements in good condition.
City Engineer Barnes, who is a close
fgurer, estimates that it will cost not
far from $4,000 to put the asphalt pave
ments in repair now, if it is done at the
present rates of repairing; rs cents per
square yard.

THE POSTER QUESTION.
A CINCINNATI House to be Asked for
Fall Festival Designs.

The only design for an official poster
submitted to the committee of fifteen
last night was the one by the Topeka
Printing company.
1t was a picture of a black eyed
young woman with classic nose and
streaming hair, dressed in a black and
yellow robe. Attending her at her left
was the announcement in big letters
of the fall festival
I'VE will furnish 5000 of these in
three colors, 19x24 inches, for $125, said
the proposition.
The principal objection the committee
had to the lady after looking her over
carefully was that she had too many
clothes on.
And she doesn't stand for anything
they said.
on motion of Major Anderson the
poster question was deferred for two
weeks till the Russell Morgan company
of Cincinnati could be asked for de-
signs.
There is a poster printing company
at AtchisOn which is said to do good
work If we could patronize our own
state, and do as well perhaps it would
be a sort of peace offering to Atchison.

NEW PENSION RULINGS.
Points in Deciding Pension Claims
g Passed On by Secretary Reynolds.

Washington July S.-Many new points
in the adjudication of pension claims
are established in decisions rendered
by Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the
interior department. All the cases
were upon appeal from the pension bu-
reau. Following is a summary Of the
new rulings:
The widow of an additional paymas-
ter is pensionabie under section 3, act
of June q. 1890.
Where shown that a soldier was
sound at enlistment and died in regi-
mental hospital of disease, the exact
character and nature of the disease not
being shown, the testimony being con-
hicting, it viii be presumed in the alb
sence of evidence to the contrary, that
he died of disease contracted in the
service and line of duty.
Death resulting from the morphine
habit, although contracted by using the
drug to relieve pain caused by a mall
ady contracted in the service and line
of duty, on soldiers own responsibility,
cannot be accepted as due to service in
the line of duty.
Where a pension granted to a widow
on account of a minor child of her de-
ceased husband has been terminated
because the child had attained its 18th
year and the child has been cOntinu-
OuSly since its 18th year insane, idiOtic,
or otherwise permanently helpless, pen
sion may be allowed subject to the
right as minors or children of the de-
ceased father to participate with it in
Such pension during their minority after
the termination of the Widows right to
pension from the date of filing appli-
cation therefor subsequent to June 81
1890 upon proof of its trouble
Provision is made to prevent loss of
pension by mistakes in applications. It
is held, under the famous June Pr act
that the pension must commence from
the date Of the filing of the original ap-
plicatiOn, provided pensionabIe disabil-
ity is proved In the case of Q. B
duchess, a Michigan veteran, Judge
Reynolds says, in sustaining one right
of a pensioner under the June q act
to receive a pension under the law, the
former providing sufficient guard
against double payment:
Wherever the act of June 27. 1890
is employed it must be to the soldiers
benefit. And since that benefit is liable
to suffer defeat through the use of Sec
ton Ais, revised statutes, such sec
ton being plainly repugnant to the
act designed to convey benefit to the
pensioner, cannot be employed"

to the new woman craze by appointing
lady umpires, the language of o. P

would possibly be renovated.
Sam Thompson is down in batting

FORTY-FIvE STARS NOW.
Tomorrow for the First Time the o.
s. Flag Will Have That Number.

washington, July 3.-TomorroW, for
the first time, the flag of the United
States will be floated with forty-fve
stars on it's blue field Indicating the
admission of Utah to the sisterhood of
states. General orders issued by the
war and navy departments have pre-
pared the way for the change. For
several months past the flag makers
have been busy in placing a new star
on the flags in stock.
From economical considerations the
old army flags will not be retired at
once, but will be replaced only as they
were worn out in service by the new
ensigns- In the case of the naval flags
the change was more easily made for
all of these flags are made at the New
York and Mare Island navy yards
while those on hand on shipboard may
be readily altered by the expert sail
makers.
