Takes Some Exceptions To the Eagles
Account of the Trouble.
In yesterdays issue the Eagle gave an
account Of some trouble between Mr..
Arnold and Mr.. Cassidy to which Mr.
Arnold replies:
Wichita, Kan, June 80. 1897.
Editor Eagle.
Your account in issue Of this morn
ing concerning Mr.. Cassidy disturbing
my peace, does me great injustice. AS
you have seen fit to publish Mr.. CASH
dy's statements, 1 ask you 10 publish
this in the interest Of justice and fair
play.
More than year ago hired Cassidy
to cut hedge fifty feet long in front of
a residence in my charge. 1 carefully
explained TO him. at the hedge, how
wanted ii cut. He agreed to do as 1
asked. He was to get 70 cents for do
ing il. Two weeks passed and the
hedge was Tot cut. I was having many
repairs made to the premises. and left
word at his house to cut the 'nedge as
agreed, or I would ge. some one else to
do so.
HE slashed the hedge down with an
axe, left the brush on the sidewalk and
in the yard and went away. He could
not have spent more than fifteen or
twenty minutes time cutting the hedge.
l spent most OF the afternoon fixing up
the hedge, carrying the brush into the
street and burning il. Every time Cas-
sidy has seen me on the street since he
has cursed me and called me vie names
a. the top OF his voice. not in stage
whisper as you say, and this in the
presence of scores of good people who
will testify 70 this fact. He has followed

Dir. Louis Britenfield Gives His Version of
the Oats Affair.

Mr. Louis Britenfield Gives His Version of
the Oats Affair.
The Messrs. Britenfieid gives their YER
sion of the GA IS affair as follows:
The trouble between Walter Morris
and Louis Britenfield was caused by
Morris coming into my field before day.
light-on Monday morning and taking my
oats. He borrowed a horse on Sunday
evening and made preparations to get
an early start. In place of using a Wa
gon as most farmers do for hauling oats,
ne used a sled In order that ne wouldn't
be heard. Mr.. Bri,enfeld says ne sent
word to Morris tina: he would be down
20 the court house on Monday morning
and see how many lots ne owned and
that he would then divide the oats on
Monday evening Morris said he owned
twenty-five lots. but Mr.. Britenield
found he only owned seventeen. as he
expected. He said Morris snare Of the
oats were ready for him any time he
wanted them. He says. he nor his son
were not trying to beat Morris out Of
his share.
This is NJ Britenfields explanation
of the affair. TIE matter will probably
be further discussed. in the court.

BIGGEST APPLE CROP.

THE biggest apple orchard in
the world is in Kansas" said
Mr.. George M. Noble, Vice
President of a big financial com
pany of Topeka, at the Shore
ham.
1T comprises 1900 acres, and
in a single season the crop of
apples thereon has brought the
owner $4,000. Kansas people
are beginning to get a large
revenue from suoh by>products
OF the land. A few years ago
there was little or no money
made from a source that now
brings in 1nillions-the dairy
and poultry business. These
industries are now conducted on
scientific principles, and being
taken hold Of by college-bred
men with special training. The
State is enjoying an era of Won
dertul prosperity. The stories
in the press of the rush of farm
ers to pay off mortgages have
not been exaggerated. The
farmers have money to cancel
their debts, and are getting free
of membranes on their prop
erty." - Washington Post.
