APPEALED CRIMINAL CASES.
Supreme Court Passes ON Daviess
County Indictment.

OOUnIy An0lctmCmts
The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed the
decision of the Daviess County Circuit
Court, holding an indictment against Coun-
Gilman Feagans, of Washington, to be in
sufficient. He was indicted on charge Of
being interested in some street improve
merits, but the court held that the indict-
ment should charge him with being party
in a contract with the city. otherwise there
was nothing criminal charged in the indict-
ment.
The Appellate Court yesterday affirmed
the finding of the Criminal Court, holding
Lyman w. Curtis, of Milersville, guilty of
drawing revolver on Thomas Doyle, with
whom he was unfriendly. Curtis had taken
up some of Doyle's horses, and when Doyle
went to take them out of his yard. he
threatened Doyle with a revolver. He was
fined in q justice of the peace's court and
again in the Criminal Court, when he was
granted a new trial, but was again found
guilty He then appealed to the Appellate
Court, with the above stated result.

Troubles of western Roads.

The executive committee of the Western
Passenger Association met in Chicago yes
terday to consider the commission ques-
ton and to see If there is not some method
by which the excessive commissions that
have, fer a long time, been prevailing in
the territory of the association, can be with
drawn. 1t is the same old matter that has
been a stumbling block for the roads for
many months and when the meeting came
to a close last night they were no nearer a
solution than before. 1t will be taken up
again in the near future, however, and the
roads are still hopeful that they Will, in the
course of time be able to do something with
it. The question of Short-hne rates being
applied on roundabout business also came
before the meeting and was considered at
length. This is demoralizing Ohio-river traf-
flo and through business to California also.
No plan for the immediate removal of the
trouble was hit upon. The meeting will be
in session for several days.
All hope of getting Western freight rates
restored to normal tariffs has, for the time
being been abandoned by the western
roads and it is not likely that anything VIII
be done until after the pending reorganlza-
ton of the Union Pacific, Denver d Gulf
has been carried out. 1t has been found I'M
POSSIBLE to do anything with the Colorado
rates at least until matters have been
settled with the Denver & Gulf, as 1t has
made demands for differential rates which
the other roads will not concede, ana there
will be no settlement of the matter until
the reorganization of the road has been car
ried into effect.

Firemen Call ON Mr.. wiItsie.

Prosecuting Attorney Witsie is getting
the testimony of the state in readiness for
the trial of Burton, the alleged murderer
of Fireman Redmond. The case, it is under
stood, will come up at Greenfield next week,
or the week following. Although the COM
mssioners have been urging Mr.. Wiltsie to
personally prosecute the case, ne did not
come to a final decision until yesterday
afternoon, when a committee OF firemen
called on him and requested that he follow
up the case The committee consisted of
Edward Leach, captain of engine company
No. q; John Robinson, captain of chemical
company No. 2, and Captain Petty, of en-
gin company No. g. The committee indi-
Gated to the prosecutor that it was the de-
sire of the entire fire department that he
conduct the prosecution of the Burton case.
Mr.. Wiltsie, after hearing the committee
announced that he would appear in the
case when it is called. Under the statutes
the prosecutor is not compelled to go out
OF the county to conduct a trial. The fire.
men say there has been nothing said about
a special fee for the prosecutor. They feel,
however, that Mr.. Wiltsie should be paid
for his services and say they will take up
the matter of remuneration after the case
against Burton has been disposed Of

The Keyless Lock Company yesterday
filed suit in the Federal Court against the
Indianapolis Lock Company, asking for an
injunction and an accounting on account of
infringement of patents. The complaint sets
forth that the Keyless Lock Company was
originally organized by George L. Barney,
Arthur Jordan, A. F. Potts and John l.
Grifiths: Barney purchased from his father
in-law, L. Is. Williams, of Seward, Neb, the
patents and business of the l.. B. Williams
Company for $4,000, and turned it over to
was capitalized at $2O0,OOO of which stock
Barney retaind $4,000 Jordan $4,000 and
Griftiths and Potts $4,000 each. Jordan fur
nished the money to make the purchase
taking the note of the company, Endorsed
by the other three men, for the amount. He
complains that after the concern had run a
year Barney withdrew and he and his
father-in-law and j. 5. Kittle, who had been
an employee of the company, formed another
corporation to manufacture the same kind
of keyleSS locks.

The Inspection Completed.

General Manager Loree, of the Pennsyl-
vania lines west of Pittsburg has COM
pleted his annual inspection, on which he
was accompanied by John F. Miller, gen.
eral superintendent of the Southwestern
system and a number of other subordinate
officers. In reviewing the condition of the
property, General Manager Loree said to
a Columbus newspaper that the system is
better to-day than at any period in its
history. Up to two months ago the COM
pany was short of it's full working force
by two thousand men. These had been laid
off during times of business depression, but
have once more been put to work again.
In making the above statement in regard
to the condition of the company'S lines, Mr..
bed rolling stock and character and serv-
ice of employees A recent report showed
that only two hundred cars were out or
order on the Northwest system and about
four hundred on the Southwest system.
This would represent one days work In the
first case and one and one-hah days work
in the second. The company runs its shops
on commercial basis and that amount OF
work would not suffice to keep the shops
going. Therefore, the company is building
five cars a month at its Fort Wayne shops,
keeps the men steadily at'work. Last year
when business was very bad the company
took off twenty-five of it's large freight en-
gines and sent them to the shops where
they were thoroughly renovated and then
allowed to stand idle on the tracks white
loaded until the recent resumption or busl-
ness called them into use again.

Future Farms Small Ones.

-
The eastern farmer %cultivating thor
oughly his ten acres of fertile soil won.
ders how it is that in the west Il man
can q expect TO make "a living of a
farm that contains less than several
hundred acres. A great many eastern
people have been deferred from enter
ing upon farming in the west because
they have been taught that one must
own a large farm, and have lots of ar
ricultural machinery TO make n success,
and their limited means would hardly
permit OF all this. \ prominent eastern
journal goes so far rs 10 say, The poor
nan or the man with Il moderate
amount Of money can not hope to Sc
cure n farm any where in the west
large enough to make it worth Whit to
spend the best part of his life in cult
yating it,
just at present The average eastern
farmer, including market gardeners.
dairyman, fruit-growers, aud all mixed
farmers, is probably better Oft on hi.
ter and twenty acres than his western
brothers on their hundred-acre farms,
and he is making a better living. Now
the conditions betM cen the two are
somewhat different, and one must study
hem carefully if he would get at n
proper understanding of the question
here p~ropUunded.
The eastern farmer is betier Off. be-
cause be has founl ont from experience
that ten acres are often quite enough
for n man TO farm, and that when a
farm OF this size IS properly run it pays
4 good living. His whole life is a

against him he probably loses all and
brings a mortgage upon the place. A
few successive bad seasons breaks him
up completely. There is the same
fererish excitement about this kind of
farming as there is about stock specula-
ton in Wall street. Il is the everlast-
ing fever to strike il rich" to make
lots of money in a short time.
This has been the great trouble with
western farming in the past, and the
west is just realizing that it needs farm
ers now, and not farming spectators.
There il nc such chance 10 make any
big prof; in the east, and the dairymen
Of New York and Pennsylvania. inc
fruit growers of New Jersey and the
Hudson river and the general market
gardeners Of Massachusetts, settle down
quietly to their small farms and make
them pay because it is a steady job and
a sure one if properly worked.
There are plenty of indications that
small farms are spreading through the
west, especially in the dairy districts.
Genuine farmers are now taking up the
land that the spectators failed with,
and they will do considerable in the
next dozen years TO raise mortgages.
Young farmers who understand their
business do not require large estates in
the west, rs they have been taught tc
believe. They will do much better TO
buy one-tenth the mount OF land, and
put the rest of the money in the bank
or improvements. In the end it viii
