BACK TO JUDGE MYERS.

The Santa Fee Alien Land Case Remanded
to Judge Myers.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. a.-Judges Thay-
er and Foster fled in the circuit court
of the United States yesterday morning
separate opinions on the question of
jurisdiction in the Santa Fe receiver
ship case. While the two had separate
hearings of the case, they follow the
same lines of argument in reaching
their conclusions and agree that the
case should be remanded to the state
court for trial upon its merits The
opinions hold that there are three points
to be decided: Whether the statute is
constitutional; whether the statute was
properly passed by the legislature;
whether the statute applies to rail-
roads. By the decision this morning
further appeal from the district court
must be to the supreme court of the
state, thence to the supreme court OF
the United States.

0RANDMA'S CONQUEST.
She Was Jake's First, Last and Only

One day my grandfather brought
home new horse, one that he had
taken in some trade; hitched with 4
halter to the back of a wagon, he was,
when he entered his new home, be-
cause, forsooth, my grandfather had
not been able to mount him to ride
him home, says the contributor.
That's a fine lookout" said my
grandmother, as she stood on the long
porch at the back of the house aud
heard this account of things. land
you say he's dangerous in harness, too
Il admire your bargain, John"
''Well, it was this brute or nothing
on that debt, and he's fine fellow if
he wasn't SO ill-tempered. Come here
and look him over yourself, Fanny"
SO said my grandfather to my grand
mother. for one was as good a judge of
horsefiesh as the other and that is say
ing a good deal for both.
All this time the new horse stood or
pranced 1istlessly, while a negro boy
held his halter. Take care, old miss"
cried the boy, when the lady stepped
up to the big gray brute, but she didn't
notice the warning. She took hold OF
the horses head and drew it toward
her and looked in his eyes. Now, here
is as curious a part of the story as any,
and it is absolutely true; she and
urally surveyed each other, and they
did it to such good purpose that she
said after a moment to the negro boy:
''Tom, do get my saddle and bring
it here" then, to her husband: 'Now,
don't say a word; know what I am
doing. SeeI'' and she picked up the
horses feet, opened his mouth and
took every liberty with him, while he
acted as if she were Mary and he the
lamb. She put the saddle on him with
her own hands, then led him to the
porch steps, sprang into the saddle
and rode around the yard, Jake step
ping as carefully as if he had load of
eggs on his back.
Well he was a ladv's horse with q
vengeance from that time forth, for no
one but my grandmother ever mounted
him. No one else could; but between
those two the ties that had been formed
when they first looked into each others
eyes continued down to the day of
Jake's death, years after. No better I'M
landing ever existed in the whole
romantic field of friendships between
horses and riders. The lady was not
then young. She was already grand
mother (though not yet mine), and one
of her frequent rides was to married
daughters, five miles away, and do.

herself on that trip? She used to,
