The College Suit.

Inquiries are numerous as to the motive
in bringing the suit against the Soule
heirs for the possession of SOule College
and for damages of $4,000 for alleged
failure to perform a certain contract
made by A. L. SOule, deceased. The
character of the suit has been stated in
these columns. We wish to state that
no local influences are behind this move
ment, and the following card is self-ex-
planatOry:
DODGE CITY, MARCH 10, 1896.
DR.. Vaughan, President SoHle College,
DEAR SIR,-This is to express my
personal regrets that any legal action al.
verse to the ownership of Soule College
by the NJ. E. church, has been projected
by Presbyterian parties formerly con-
trolling the same and to also state for the
benefit of the public (if you see fit to pub
lish this,) that the Presbyterian church
of Dodge City, as an existing organiza-
ton, has nothing whatever to do with
such legal movement and further to state
it as my opinion based on inquiry among
members of said local Presbyterian church
that not only have they beenwholly ignO-
rant of the intention to contest the claims
of Soule College in court until Informed
thereof by the Press of Dodge City; but
since such judicial proceedings have been
made known, they are entirely and uni
formly averse to and out of sympathy
with such proceedings.
Yours, Respectfully.
j. NJ. GILLETTE.
Pastor Presbyterian Church.

A Cordial Reception.

A delegation of citizens waited Tor the
arrival Of the train last night, on Mr..
Sutton's return, and escorted him to the
Phenix Hall club room, where large
number of citizens. including Democrats
aud Republicans, had assembled to give
the vanquished. but not the conquered
hero, q reception. The time was spent
until after midnight, in social intercourse,
and the listening of speeches made by a
dozen or more citizens. Hon. J. K.
Burton was accidentally present-as he
said az choice between Wichita and
Dodge City, and he chose Dodge City
and gave few minutes talk. Mr.. Sutton
was highly commended for the gallant
fight he had made, and our citizens gave
him cordial welcome home. BeesOn's
orchestra furnished some fine music on
this occasion.
This ovation and expression of good
feeling would make any citizen feel
deep sense of pride, and Mike humbly
appreciates it.
