STATE WINS AGAIN.
Federal Judge Thayer upholds the
Kansas Stock Yards Law.
The States Contention Upheld on Every
Point and Its Right to Regulate
Charges Fully Authorized
Appeal WIN No Taken.

TOPEKA. Kan, Oct e9.-The stock
holders Of the Kansas City Stock Yards
company met another crushing defeat
In the United States circuit court yes
tcrday. In q lengthy opinion handed
down in the case fled to en-
Join the enforcement Of the new
Jaquins law, Judge Thnyer decided
every point in favor of the state. His
opinion was even more sweeping than
the one handed down by Judge Foster
recently in the same case. Judge
Thayer held that the state had right
to regulate the charges Of the stock
yards company, that the new law
would enable the stockholders to re-
ceive reasonable return on the CAPT.
tai invested, and that neither the na-
ture Of the business transacted by the
company nor the location of its yards
on each side of the state line made IL
interstate commerce.
Judge Horton, representing the
stockholders, gave notice OF an appeal
to the United States supreme court
Judge Thaycr apprehended that this
would be done, and in the opinion he
provided q plan of protection to the
stock shippers of the west while the
case was pending. He required the
company to put up bond In the sum OF
5000, 900 with the clerk OF the federal
court to reimburse shippers for over
charges made during the time the case
Is pending, and Judge Foster, In addi-
ton, ordered the company TO give
shippers or their agents uemoran-
dunn Of charges collected for yardage
and feed SO that the overcharge could
be computed without trouble. II the
law is upheld, the shippers will bring
their memoranda into conrt and get
their rebates there instead Of going TO
the company for them. The old rates
are to remain in force until the case
is finally determined by the supreme
court.
The decree was drawn up yesterday
afternoon and entered on the docket.
1t is in accordance with the contents
OF the opinion. The company is given
ten days in which to file the $500. 00O
bond Judge Horton says that the
bond will be ready by that time. lie
also says that the case will be taken
up Immediately and that it will be
heard in the supreme court within u
couple Of years at least. The attorneys
for the state say that they will ask to
have the case advanced on the docket.
They claim that 1t is of such vital gen.
eral Importance that the United States
supreme court will no doubt grant an
early hearing.
Judge Foster was very much pleased.
Judge Thayer had not only sustained
him on every point, but even went him
one better on one particular thing.
Judge Foster fixed $4,000 as the aver
age amount of money necessary to
keep up repairs ut the yards annually.
Judge Thayer says in his opinion that
| $50, 900 is sufficient.

Beginning In 1882 the spaniards sent

averred that he found FL Dorado in his
