Wheat Farming in Western Kansas.

In the spring of 1891, w. E. Saum
sold to Burge & Dewey, bankers of
Toulon, H.. 800 acres OF unimproved
land two and one-half miles west of
Wa-Keeney, for which they paid
81, $50. These gentlemen bought the
land without seeing it and have never
examined or inspected their purchase
to this day After holding the land
for several years and hearing about
wheat raising in western Kansas. and
failing to realize the expected profit
from a sale of the land. they decided
to risk an additional sum in wheat
farming. Mr.. Saum was authorized
to break out and SOW one-half the
land, or 160 acres. to wheat. with the
following result:

Claims to Have Saved the Parthe-

Darien and SapeIO TOwbOat Co.
Claims TO Have Saved the Parthe-
nope.
An interesting suit was brought before
Mr.. George T. Cam, as special commits
sioner, yesterday, in which it appears that
the British bark Parthenope, owned by
Oracle, Beaseley & Co. of Liverpool, is
held in libel by the Darien and Sapelo
Towboat Company for salvage.
The amount sued for is $4,000. 1t is
claimed that the Darien and Sapelo Tow
boat Company went to the rescue of the
vessel off the north beach of Sapelo ISL
and and saved her. The company claims
the amount mentioned as salvage.
The owners of the boat claimed, through
their attorneys, that the work was only
towing, and that no such demands as
were made for salvage could be allowed.
They claimed that the work was not suf-
icient to warrant such a claim, that the
danger to the vessel was not sufficient TO
base a claim for salvage and that the
time consumed in the alleged rescuing was
not sufficient to warrant such a claim
The testimony was taken and the YES
sci was allowed to give bond and sail from
this port which she will do tomorrow.
The towboat company claiming the sal
wage fee was represented by Col. William
Garrard and the owners of the vessel
were represented by Mr. William r. Lea
ken. The testimony of the crew was
taken in full before Special Commissioner
Cam and the trial will be had next term
of the court.

GRAHAM WILL PROBABLY HANG.
Motion For a New Trial in His Case


May Go to the Supreme Court.
The gallows in the Chatham county jail
is ready for Bristow Graham, the con-
demned murdered who is under sentence
to die tomorrow.
But, it is not certain whether he viii pay
the penalty or not. A motion for a new
trial was made In the superior court yes
terday. 1t was promptly oyerruled by
Judge Falligant.
This leaves the fate OF Graham in doubt,
for it may be that the counsel for the ac-
cused will put in a bill of exceptions to-
day and take the case to the supreme
court. The mere filing of the bill of ex-
ceptions in the superior court will be suffi-
cient under the present laws to postpone
the case for a month until the supreme
court can render decision in the case.
No step was taken after the motion for
new trial In the case by the attorneys to
indicate that they will appeal to the su-
preme court, but this Is not beyond the
bounds OF probability. They may serve
notice to-day that they have sent the rec
ords to the supreme court and this would
be sufficient to stay the execution of the
prisoner 1t is one of those things in law
which have lately been shown up before
the Georgia Bar Association to be out of
gear and ought to be changed. 1t is a
looDhole for postponement of executions
and trials which sometimes gives rise to
lynch law when the cases are of sufficient
significance.
The grounds for the new trial are rath-
er peculiar. On the next to the last the
accused Is allowed in this world he is
made to appear before the superior court
as insane. An affidavit signed by William
II. Colo is attached to the petition for a
new trial, which states that the accused
was once in his employ, and that he Is
not of sound mind. The affidavit does
not state that the prisoner was of insane
mind at the time of the killing of Ben
Wilson, for which crime he is sentenced
to die but states that he is not now of
sane mind, and incapable of committing
the crime charged against him or any
other crime for the queer reason that he
frequently had way OF flying into an
insane passion when there was the slight
est cause for anger, and in such moments
did not know what he was doing. 1t is a
very curious affidavit and the Judge
promptly refused the motion for a new
trial in the case.
Meanwhile Sheriff Roman has made
every preparation for the execution, and
Graham viii be hanged at the hour named
by himself, unless some orders shall be re-
ceived staying the execution.
