ibid you see the 'Kurnels" statement
Of the amounts turned over by the police
commissioners in dwellings and
Leedy's administration" said Sheriff
Cone yesterday.
Nov, let me ten you something. Here
are some figures, and got them off the
city treasurers' books, and they're there
where anybody can see.
I'm the first year Of dwellings ad-
ministration, when 1 was chief of police,
there was turned over TO the general
fund Of the city on June q, '93, 50, 900; on
October 26, '93. $1,000, making total of
$1,000. In the first year of Leedys ad-
ministration under the rule Of King
George and the Kurnel, there was turn
ed in to the general fund of the city,
June s, '97, $3.50, and on September "a,
$500, making a total Of $500. And King
George and the Kurnel have nine more
saloons, a hundred slot machines and
two other places to collect from more
than was here under the Lswelling ad-
ministration. The collections certainly
cannot be less than $500 or $500 per
month more than under the Lewelling
administration. Yet they have turned in
this 5000 as compared with $4,000 for the
same time under the Lewelling regime"

telling them that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others. and

JURISDICTION
QUESTION IN THE FRISCO RECEIVER
SHIP
Father of EfYer Felix Sues For Fifteen
Thousand Dollars


In the district court, before Judge Dale
sle case of Effer Felix VS.. the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad company ct
al WAS on for hearing on demurrer made
by the railroad company. 1t appeared
that in December, 1894, while the st.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad COM
pany was being operated by the receiv-
ers, Effer Felix, a child OF or years of
age, caught mis- foot in swibch-frog in
the eastern part of the city, and the
train came along and cut his left leg off
just below the knee. Shortly after it ap-
pears, that the railway company believ-
ing that suit would be brought against il,
went to Oscar Felix, the father of the
boy, and took him into court and pre-
pared and filed case and furnished the
money for the cost bond to bring suit
against itself and had Judgment render
ed against itself for $3.50 in favor of the
boy who had lost his leg, and then pay
ing SIS of the money to the company's
physician and s25 to the St Francis hos
pital. where they had the boy taken.
Oscar Felix, the father Of the boy, af-
terward learned that the proceeding in
court was lawsuit and that it would
prevent his boy from recovering any
thing further, and he refused to accept
the money paid in by the railroad COM
pany, which is yet in court He after
ward brought this action TO set aside
this judgment 50 rendered in his boys
favor, alleging That 1t was fraudulently
obtained and that the boy was damag
ed in the sum of $4,000 and not $780,
which he was allowed Attorneys Gleed
and Palmer Of Topeka represented the
railroad company and claimed that the
company was not liable as the property
at that time was in the hands OF receiv-
erS, and claimed that the order made by
United States Circuit Judge Caldwell, in
Missouri, did not confer Jurisdiction so
as to enable plaintiff to bring suit in the
state court, while Adams & Adams and
j. d. Houston, who represented Effer
Felix, claimed that the order of Judge
Caldwell was valid and made the prop
erty in the hands of receivers liable for
the payment Of all damages the boy had
sustained, and they maintained that he
was damaged in a. least $4,000 to sl5, 900
and that ii was a great fraud upon the
boy to get him into court in the manner
the railway company attempted to. and
that the old judgment was fraudulent
and should be SET aside. Judge Dale, af
ter hearing the counsel for both sides.
Overruled the demurrer OF the railroad
company and held that the petition stat
ed a good cause OF action and gave the
company time 20 answer in the case.

OF the benefit I don't believe there will

The play was fairly put on and some of
the characters were fairly acted. How
ever, the play did not seem to take as

been given by this company. One of the
criticisms is that the characters that

While on His Way to Girard to Visit
His FamiIy-The Major Said That Ter
Mile. Had Already Been Graded and
the Contract For Twenty Miles Will BE
Let Next Week-Expect That Rails
Will BE Laid Early in Decembcr-Com.
pleted Next July
Major Brown, the protector and builder
Of the Sapulpa extension, arrived in the
city last evening from Guthrie and took
the Frisco to MS home in Girard, where
he win visit with his family for a week.
Major Brown said last night that the
road was progressing nicely. 1t will be
303 miles in length. There has been ten
miles of grading and masonry work done
already, and the contract will oe let next
week for the grading of twenty miles
more. The grading that has already
been finished is now at Red Fork, near
Tulsa The laying of steel will commence
the fore part OF next month. Major
ed by the Fourth of July, and very short
iy after that trains will be running into
the territorial capital.
There are now 500 men and teams at
work and the grading is being pushed as
rapidly as possible.
When asked about the meeting OF the
Frisco directors in st. Louis the other
day. he said: 81 know nothing whatever
concerning the meeting. In fact, 1 was
not aware that they had one"
"Will the Frisco eventually get control
Of the new road?"
II don't know. They have the money
10 buy the extension. It is likely that
some trunk line will purchase 1t. Still, it
may be run Independently
Major Brown has had considerable ex-
perience in the building and promoting
of roads. He built the Frisco branch
from Girard TO Joplin and several sec
tions of the road between Wichita and
Springfield. After the completion Of the
line he was for five years or more con-
nected with the Frisco.
A prominent man in railroad circles
said last evening that to Major Brown
and Russell Harding, more than any one
else, belongs the credit of building the
Frisco.
'@The road viii cross one Of the richest
countries in the world" said the major.
INSTEAD Of getting your coal from the
east, we will supply Wichita and the ad-
jacent territory
The return OF good times has made il
possible for the building of the road, has
IL not?"
"WeH, should say so. Money is plen-
tiful now. A year ago if man went in
to a banking house and asked them to
advance money for such a project he
would have been escorted to the door"
With This closing remark Major Brown
boarded the train and left over the line
which he helped to construct.
