Fireman Walter Burns, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Burns Of this city, died yes
terday morning while on duty on mis- en-
gine which was speeding into the town
OF st. John.
Walter Burns was an estimable young
man who had gained the love and re-
spect Of all who had come in contact
with him. Being always courteous, af-
fable and just, he had gained a large
circle of friends who, with his bereaved
parents, mourn mis- sudden demise. He
was only % years Of age, in the flower
OF his youth, when the Grim Reaper saw
fit to transfer him to a, more useful and
better field Of labor and of love.
His remains were sent 10 Newton,
where they were enibalned, and later on
a special train supplied by the company
sent to this city, arriving here late yes
terday afternoon. Escorted by the sor-
rowing parents and friends the body was
escorted to the home Of his brother and
mother, at 425 North Topeka avenue The

and in favor Of the plaintiff. And for
| the further reason that the action seems
1 ID have been brought to recover statu-
tory penalty under chapter 1s7 Of the
laws of 1897. For the further reason that
| said chapter 167 Of the laws of 1897 Is
| unconstitutional and void in this: That
| it is in contrav ention of the constitution
of the state of Kansas and also in con-
traven.ion OF the constitution of the
United States.
By the court-In what point?
BY Mr.. Bentley-The bill OF particulars
does not allege contract on the part
Of the railroad company to carry the
plaintiff back to Attica. It simply al
leges that they presented the contract
to the officer of the railroad at Kansas
City and that they refused TO give him
return pass. IL does not allege that
the contract Itself, on flae face of it, pro-
vided for return passage, but simply al
leges the fact that ne shipped one car
Of stock and paid the usual rate on it;
that he went 70 Kansas City with the
car Of stock; and that the railroad COM
pany refused to surpiy the passage
back And that brin gs it under this
section: Whenever any railroad COM
pany or corporation doing business
within the limits of this state snail re-
ceive and ship any live stock by the car
load, said company, in consideration Of
the usual price paid for the shipment OF
said car, Shall pass the shipper or his

TRANSPORTATION CASE.

Both Sides Ready to Carry the Case to the

ConstitutionaIity of the Law and j. p.
Campbell Says He VIII See That the
Matter Is Prosecuted as Far as Neces-
sary to Secure the Rights of Shippers
Against tho RaiIroads-Wiu Be the
First Decision
Judge Dale win today announce his
decision of the case of /. P. Campbell
against the Santa Fe Railroad company.
Last winter the legislature passed a law
requiring ali railroads to give shippers
transportation to place where the cat
he are shipped and back home again for
car OF cattle.
A statement OF the case and Mr..
Bentleys objections is given. Judge
Daie's decision this morning will be the
FIRST delivered in a case arising from the
requirements OF the law. The case viii
be carried to the supreme court, as the
railroad company is fighting the const-
tutfonality Of the law. Mr.. Campbell
make a kick and he proposes to see the
Thing clear through the supreme court
If necessary.
Campbell for cause Of action against
the Santa Fe alleges, that on the 2ud
day of March, 1897, he entered into a
eontract with the Santa Fe railroad by
which said railroad undertook am
ngreed to carry fer him one car load of
rattle from the city of Attica, in Harper
county, Kansas, TO Kansas City. The
railroad company received the cattle and
delivered them at the stock yards in
Kansas City, Kan, on the 3rd day of
March. 1897.
That the defendant charged the plain
tiff, and plaintiff paid for the transpor-
tation Of the car load of stock the sum
of $40
That plaintiff accompanied the car
from Attica to Kansas City over the de-
fendant railway.
Campbell presented his contract to the
agents, conductors and employees OF said
line of railway on March 4, 1897, and ask
ed and demanded that he be given trans
pertation from Kansas City, Kan, to
Attica, without any additional charge
for passage or transportation other than
what ne, this plaintiff, had already paid
as aforesaid, for the transportation of
his car bad OF live stock.
That the defendant refused to pass OF
carry this plaintiff over it's line Of rail-
way from Kansas City to the city OF
Attica without further expense to Camp
bell in the way OF fare, but on the con-
trary compelled him to pay ont fare for
the trip home the sum of $S.75
He was compelled 10 pay mis- fare in
the aforesaid sum in order that ne might
be permitted to ride on the railway of
the defendant on his return trip from
Kansas City 10 the city OF Attica, and
p-ays for a judgment against the de-
PENDANTS for the sum of $S.75 with inter
est thereon from the 4th day of March,
1887, together with a reasonable at
torney's fee in this court, as well as in
Nj other courts to which the case may
be taken.
Mr.. Fred W. Bentley answered the
petition argument as follows:
BY Mr. BeLnley-We object 10 env
evidence under the bill of particulars
anea for the re ason that the same does
not state facts sufficient to constitute a
oeuse OF action against the defendant
