LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Dale Says Shippers are Entitled to
Return Passes.

The case OF I. P. Campbell against the
Santa Fe Railroad company for refusing
him return transportation from Kansas
City TO Attica for one car Of cattle was
decided yesterday by Judge Dale, who
held:
Fifst.-That section 1, chapter 167, of
the laws of 1897, which provides for free
transportation of the shipper or en-
ploye of shipper of one car load of stock,
IS not an unreasonable regulation, and
does not violate any provision Of the
constitution of this state or of the Unit
ed States. but valid law.
Second.-That section OF said chap
ter. which authorizes the allowance Of a
reasonable attorneys fee in actions
against railroad companies 10 recover
damages caused by the neglect or fail
ure of the railroads TO furnish such free
transportation, does not violate the con-
stftution of the state Of Kansas or Of
the United States as the same is not a
suit for mere Indebtedness and there
fore does not come within the decision
rendered by the supreme court of the
United States in the case of Gulf, C.
and S. F. railway company vs. Ellis,
reported in Il supreme Court Reporter,
at 255, but is in the nature of a police
regulation and the remedy offered is
one which the legislature has the right
J 10 give in such cases. The rule of law,
as herein adopted. is laid down clearly
by the supreme court of this state in
the case of Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad company VS.. Matthews ct
al. decided July 10. 1897, and reported
in 4sth Pacific Reporter, page 602
Tlird.-That plaintiff is entitled 10 re-
cover judgment against defendant for
kS.75 and interest from the 4th day OF
March, 1897. at per cent per AMMAN,
and reasonable attorneys fee. and it
is therefore ordered and adjudged t.1at
plaintiff have and recover OF and from
said defendant, 1915. and the costs of
this action, and that in the costs of this
action there shall be allowed to said
plaintiff as costs in the prosecution Of
this cause in addition 10 the usual and
ordinary costs, the further sum of s15
to be taxed therein as attorneys fees
IN the prosecution Of this action.

Some weeks ago the Eagle published
a notice from Major Ewing, receiver OF
the Wichita National Bank, stating that
ne had been authorized TO sell the assets
Of the trust to NJ F. Frazier Of FL Do
rado with an agreement and bond by
Mr.. Frazer that ne should pay out every
claim against the bank dollar for dollar.
Mr.. Frazer put up bond and the sale
was practically made bu; had to be con-
firmed by the United States circuit court.
Major Ewing also sent out notice that
on December % or as soon thereafter as
counsel could be heard Judge Foster of
Topeka would De asked 20 confirm the
sale.
The matter came up in Judge Foster s
court at Topeka yesterday and was by
him referred back to the comptroller of
the currency for further review. Pend
ing review and reauthorization from
the comptroller Judge Foster postponed
the case for one month.
Some Of the stockholders of the bank
object to the sale of the assets and Judge
Foster in his remarks on the case az To-
peka yesterday seemed inclined 10 favor
them. He practically said ne thought
that whatever the comptroller should de-
eide after review and re-hearing in
the case would be sustained in the court
when it came there again.

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock
Detectives Sutton and Carroll arrested
two thieves who masquerade about the
country in the guise of tramps. AL
though the men arrested are not artists
in their business, there is not much in
the common thievery line they viii not
undertake. Their practice is to go inlo
some store and while one begs for aims
the other one Will steal something of
value if ne can find ar opportunity.
Both of them have been to Wichita and
have on each occasion that they have
favored the city with visit been run
out Of town.
When taken to the station they gave
the names OF John Smith and H. Se-
crese- Shortly before OF lock they cal

North Main street. Both were under
the influence of liquor but not enough
but that they knew what they were do
ing. One approached Mr.. J. R. Mead
and asked him for some money. He no
ticed that they had the appearance Of
common buns and refused to comply
with their request. The fellow who had
asked for the money became quite ar
cry, and raising his arm with his fist
clenched, said: you -
we'll get even with you for this tonight.
Vein lay for you With that they
turned and walked out Of the store and
went north on Main street.
Mr. Mead saw MesSrs Sutton and Car
roll across the street and went over and
told them about the affair. The officers
went north looking in all of the stores
on the way. They soon saw the pair
in Mr.. Jim Tapp's store on the corner
Of Main and Second streets. They had
made the same plea to Mr.. Tapp that
they had to Mr.. Mead and he mad told
one of his clerks 20 give them a small
amount Of staples. The packages were
being done up when the officers came in
and arrested them. They made the
same old talk about being in hard luck.
They had reformed, etc. They said that
if they were turned loose they would go
to Wellington on the night train, but
the officers said they guessed that they
would go to jail, and they did. They

Denver, Colo, Sept. /. The
receipts of gold at the United

for the fiscal month of August
amounted to S1,215, ,237.5S; the
receipts for August, 1896, were
1929, 459.s4, an increase for this
year of ss5,772.74, or 300 per

year since January 1 amounted to

it is believed Colorado's output

two bushels of grain to pay for
each bushel bought for seed.

James Shuman, a farmer living
near Anderson, Indiana, believed
Bryan when he told them last fall
that if Mckinley was elected the
price of wheat would go down,
and consequently contracted his
1897 crop at So cents bushel,
and thought he was doing UP the
''gold bug'' purchasers. He was
called upon to deliver 500 bushels
the day wheat was being sold for
81. He is loser by several hun

he found that he found that he
could not.
