Eitizens Of Atchison Bring Suit to Test the
 Value of Alleged Watered Stock.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 0.--Proceedings in quo warranto were instituted in the supreme court yesterday to annul the charter of the Chicago X Atchison Bridge company and declare the bridge across the Missouri river at Atchison a public bridge for all except railroad purposes. The proceeding is brought in the name of the state on the rela- ttiion of L. (. Boyle, attorney general, but the real fight will be made by the cit of Atchison. When the bridge was built the company issned stock to the amount of Sl. .000 900, of which the city of Atchison took S100,0 giving it's bonds worth par, for it. The com pany also issued Sl, 200, ,000 bonds but afterward cancelled $200, 900. It is al- legged now that the bridge cost only $500, 900 and the Atchison people con tend that the city is the only bona fide stockholder connected with the trans action.

 GARNET, Kan, Oct. 20. In the dis trict court here Judge Samuel Riggs made most important ruling in the matter of liability Of stockholders. In the case of Thomas Dowles against the Bank of Garnett, which failed two years ago, the plaint tiff prayed that all creditors be enjoined from bringing suit against any stockholder under the double liability law, but that the re- ceiver be ordered to bring suit against stockholders to recover the statutory liability. Judge Riggs granted the i'm junction and stopped the creditors now suing to recover what they lost in the bank failure. If sustained the deci- sion will revolutionize practice in re- gard to recovery from stockholders by individual creditors and make the lia- bility part of the assets of the bank to be equitably divided among depos- itOrs

 ST. LoUIs, Oct. 20.--Deeds were signed to-day completing the purchase of 17,500-acre tract of land in Iron county, Mo. that is designed to form the greatest game preserve in the United States, with the exception of Yellowstone park.
