COURT OF APPEALS CASES.
Municipality Has Not Exclusive Con-
troll Over Sidewalks - other
Opinions Handed Down.

The Kansas City court of appeals decided
yesterday that a municipality has not ex-
elusive control over sidewalks and that the
downtrodden property owner has rights in
this particular that must me respected.
This gleam of hope came in the case of
Louis Naschold against the city of West
port. The plaintiff was the owner of
lot I'm front Of which was a thirteen-foot
sidewalk. The defendant city came along
one day. tore up the sidewalk, narrowed
feet into the street. Naschold brought
suit for damages for trespass and the cir
cult court sustained demurrer. The court
of appeals decided the lower court erred in
sustaining the demurrer. The judgment
was reversed and the cause remanded.
Minnie e. Boulton recovered 8, ,6s5 dam
received in falling through a defective side
walk. After the appeal had been taken
and the case argued. the city came into
court with a contention that the bill of
exceptions was defective. The court of ap-
peals said the city raised its objections too
late and the Judgment was affirmed.
Margaret Larson is the widow of a miner
who was killed by cave-in at the Central
Creek Mining Companys mine in Joplin.
She recovered 5000 damages and the com
pany appealed. claiming that Larson was
guilty of contributory negligence. Larson
and three other miners were ordered to
dig ditch in the mine at the intersection
of two shafts which met at a point four
feet above grade. The ditch was to remedy
this inequality. The ground foreman de
cidIeu II was Saie 10 90 the Work Wlthout
timbering the shafts as it proceeded. A
cave-in resulted and four miners were
killed. The court of appeals held that the
company was liable because through its
servant, the ground foreman. 1t had order
ed the men to do work that was unsafe and
had assured them that there was no danger.
The Judgment was affirmed.
The court will meet again to-day.

NO DIVORCE FOR EITHER.
to the Shurts Case-He Intimates
What His Decision VIII Be.

Judge Scarritt devoted another day yes
terday to the hearing of the salacious
Shurts divorce case. Mrs. Shurts was on
the stand for two hours and distinguished
herself by number of would-be witty re-
torts. At the close of the hearing Judge
Scarritt made little speech and then took
the case under advisement. intimating that
he would refuse both parties divorce.
'fIf ii wasn't for your little boy, SAID
Judge Scarritt, 4 would give one OF you
a divorce. If either party is entitled TO II
it is Mr.. Shurts, though l don't think Mrs.
Shurts' conduct has been such as to war
rant branding her with the stigma of
divorce being obtained from her. Neither
of the parties is guiltless. Mr.. Shurts has
been lax in his habits and attention to his
wife. On -he other hand, Mrs. Shurts has
acted with total disregard for respecta-
bility.
You have a bright boy there, and you
ought to get together and raise him up.
He may grow up to be a source of pride to
you both. There is no stronger intlued2e
than that of a child over a parent l think
that if you can't get along for your own
sakes, you should for his. l will take the
case under advisement to give you a
chance to get together. l think Ii is best
for all concerned to refuse either of you
divorce. It will at least protect socis-y
to the extent that neither of you can get
anybody else into the same trouble you
are in now

OUT AT INDEPENDENCE.
June Term of the Circuit Court Gets
Squared Around for
HusinesS.

The June term of the circuit court con-
vened in Independence yesterday. Judge
Slower has set the divorce cases for
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, of the
present week. The trial cases were begun
yesterday.
The assignment of William Crenshaw,
a farmer in Eastern Jackson county, was
taken up. J. p. Jones, administrator Of the
estate of Peter Adams, deceased, appeared
as plaintiff. The plaintiffs ask that the
decree of court, which gave Crenshaw his
home place. bel set aside. under the claim
that the value of the land is far in excess
of the amount allowed under the home
stead law. The administrator holds notes
against Crenshaw which he desires to col
lect. The greater portion of the day was
taken up in the hearing of expert testi-
mony as to the value of the homestead.
Two divorce suits were dismissed Julius
Smith, negro preacher, sued his wife,
Mamie. for divorce. He got a decree by
default. but the defendant had the decree
set aside yesterday. The case was dis
missed.
The other suit dismissed was that of
Annie Johnston against II. p. Johnston.
The parties live at Lees Summit. 1t was
alleged that Johnston did not stay at home
nights but since the filing of the suit the
plaintiff has decided to give Johnston an
other trial.

TOOK THE CASE FROM THE JURY.
turned for the Marsh Oil Com
pany, which Was Done.

Judge Gates yesterday decided that when
an insurance company consents to the re-
moval of insured property from one build
ing TO another, 1t is liable for the amount
of the insurance on proof of loss.
The Marsh Oil Company sued the Aetna
Insurance Company to recover S1Si.14. un-
der a 81, 900 policy. 1t showed that it had
removed the property insured. a lot of flax
seed. on two or three occasions. once when
il took the seed from the warehouse to the
building where the oil was pressed from ii,
and another time when it removed the oil
cake to another warehouse for storage. The
company showed that the insurance COM
pany had consented to all these removals.
Judge Gates took the case out of the
hands of the jury and ordered a verdict for
the plaintiff for the full amount asked.
The insurance company did not deny that
It had consented to the removal of the
property. but contented itself with formal
denial of the allegations of the plaintiff.
The insurance company filed a demurrer to
the petition. which was overruled. The
point decided by Judge Gates is one of
considerable interest to insurance compan-
les generally.

BEARING THE MARKET.
Richard Gentry Asks Only $40 Per
Month for Acting as Receiver
of n Railroad.

1t isn't very often that a prominent busi-
ness man will consent to act as receiver for
a railroad for the sum of so per month,
but the records of the federal court made
yesterday morning show that Colonel Rich
ard Gentry acted for fifteen months as re-
ceiver of the Westport e. Waldo Railway
Company for the sum of $50 and hasn't
yet received his pay.
March Z, 1896, he was appointed receiver
of the company with its track reaching
from WestpOrt out to DOdsOn. There were
some cars and dummy engine to operate
the line, but there were no funds with
which to start the line. There was no in
tervening petition filed in the receivership
case that would allow the court to order
receivers certificates issued and the re-
suit was that the line has been idle all of
the time. Yesterday when Receiver Gentry
filed his expense account showing an eX-
pense of S1365 for having the property
guarded, there was nothing to be DONE so
he was discharged and an order made al
lowing him to draw the sum of $50 for his
services. He has not decided what invest
ment he will make of his earnings when
they are paid.

VERY GLIB TONGUE.
Remarkable story Told by n Prisoner
Rs to How He Became Pos
sessed of stolen Goods,

James A. Mccoy, a colored man. was ar
rested and arraigned before Justice Spitz
yesterday, charged with stealing a pair of
diamond earrings valued at $50. a gold
necklace with a diamond set and several
articles Of clothing from the home of Mrs
J.. y. Wright. 1908 East Eighteenth street,
on May 81. Mccoy and his wife were en-
plOyed by Mrs. Wright as servants A
week ago she missed her diamonds and
suspected Mccoy Of the theft. She notified
lhc police and McCoy's house was searched
The diamonds were not found but several
toilet articles and some clothing which had
been taken from Mrs. Wright's home were
recovered. The value of the articles al
legged to have been stolen is S226
When arraigned Mccoy stoutly protested
his innocence. He explained the presence
OF the clothing and toilet articles at his
home by stating that while painting at
Mrs. Wright's one day he soiled his clothes.
He borrowed" a suit from a closet TO
wear while he was having his own cleaned
and took the brushes to keep the suit he
borrowed clean. His plausible excuse
had little effect on the justice and he was
committed to jail in default of $1,000 bond.

SOUTHWEST ALL RIGHT.
Oscar F. Smith, of Wichita, Talks of
Crops and Politics and the
Outlook.

Oscar F. Smith, the Hugh MCGOWAN of
Wichita, spent yesterday in the city. He
came up to meet President Green, of the
Barber Asphalt Company, the object being
to perfect arrangements to make some re-
pairs on asphalt paving in his town.
Mr. Smith is optimistic over the outlook
in Southwestern Kansas. Wheat is look
ing fine and to this is added in Sedgwick
county 600 acres of corn. which is an
unusually large acreage, and of course the
opinion prevails that a big corn crop is
near at hand. In his county Mr.. Smith
says three-fourths of the mortgage indebt-
edness has been paid off during the last
three years. Men with money are now try
ing to secure farm mortgage investments,
showing that the Populist scare over in
vestments evaporateS in the face of COM
Portable returns from farm lands.
Politically things are better in the South
west, from n Republican standpoint. The
Populists are greatly disgusted over the
work of the last Kansas legislature and
especially is it noticeable that the old SOL
die-s are coming back to the Republican
party.
