A Man Who Battered His Love to a 81
PIunkard.

A gay young sport of this city had
handsome life companion Except that
she was not for life) and they jollied
along together in well furnished quarters
until hard times came knocking at the
door, and kept knocking. The young
man in his extremities actually bartered
and sold his wife TO a rura! citizen,
who much resembles ST Plunkard, receiv-
ing 500 for the fair one who had trotted
so long with him in double harness. The
sport then ran up against a faro game
and lost the $40. Then he went to the
rural home and wanted Plunkard to give
up another $50. but the old farmer de-
clined TO comply, and the lady in the case
stood by her new consort with firm fidel-
ity, saying 1.-THE gay life you offer in
metropolis is dross compared to the joys
of feeding the piglets and milking the
cowlet." And he returned to town

Quite an interesting case is now being
cussed ard discussed by few citizens
or this city. 1t is not in the courts as
yet. and none Of the parties 10 it seem
DESTROYS OF running it in that direction,
bat II is OF vital interest 10 those who
have had similar cases
When the building which was occu-
pied by the Rock Island book store, was
built, there appeared 10 be space which
was not occupied by any one. Pat
Healy, who constructed the building. re-
commended that the building be extend
ed so as 10 take in this extra amount OF
space which 10 all appearances was
looking around for an owner This was
done and the building is 261s feet wide
and is supposed TO be on 25-foot lot.
Mr.. G. c. Henry purchased the lot ad-
joining this on the east and paid in the
neighborhood of $1,000 per foot for -
feet. He desired 10 construct a brick
building upon il soon, and in making
preliminary measurements discovered
that ne only had between IS and 29ls
feet.
Upon further investigation it was
found that house situated upon the
northwest corner OF Douglas and EN-
poria now stands three feet over upon
the sidewalk. The west line of the book
store building is in the right place; but
the succeeding lots from the corner to
that building are laid out in conformity
70 the corner house, which is three feet
out OF its proper place. This is how the
space came 10 De left on the east side OF
this building.
Mr.. Healy naturally desired 10 use all
the lana he paid for and at the present
stage OF the game. this is no small af-
fair by any means. The parties who
own the building which has proven 10
be little too wide, are Kansas City
parties. 1t is not supposed that they
have any desire to either move their
wall in, or purchase the ground upon
which il has encroached.
1t is said that figures if properly man.
aged never lie, and in this case il seems
that they have come UP smiling with a
mistake made by some one in construct
ing the building on the corner out of its
pIOpei poS4tloi, anu lne ONES duJOlnlnSs
simply took ii for granted that IL was
correct, instead OF obtaining the services
OF competent surveyor TO find out
whether they were right or not before
putting up a building.
Mr.. Henry did this. and made the i'm
pOrtant discovery. which IL it had not
been made might have cost him untold
trouble at some future time He Is anx-
ious TO put UP brick building, but with
present look of things he is inclined 10
hesitate until ne can see his way clearly.

The Long Distance and Other Things Shut
OFF Our Rows.

Local sports are figuring on the prize
fight and how 10 get to Carson. 1t is
now found that 1t will cost S135 10 the
passenger. including stop-over at Salt
Lake City and San Francisco. as the
distance is LII miles. A car. to be car
RED through. with even the minimum
number of passengers, will cost 81, 700.
There will be no special car service from
Wichita under existing conditions.
Times are too tough and the distance too
great. One prominent sporting man
said TO an Eagle reporter last evening:
You can just put 1t down that not a
solitary man will go to see the prize
fight from Wichita.
There is no change in the ratio of bets
that is, 10 to s in favor OF Corbett-
and very little money is being placed.

NEW DEPARTMENT OF PENSIONS
The Military Telegraph Operators are
Recognized.

One month ago yesterday congress
passed a joint resolution, which was
signed by the president, recognizing the
telegraph operators during the war as
an arm Of the service, and entitled TO
pensions in the line of disability on the
same plane with soldiers. The first
claim filed was one before Justice Glenn
yesterday by Amos c. Paxton, asking
for certificate of service, he having
been chief of the Geographic division for
more than three years during the rebel
lion for the department embraced by
Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. Mr..
Paxton's recommendations are first
class, and he will doubtless be rewarded
by grateful republic.

oldest one Of the five was only 10 years
