AS soon as two or three men had gotten

as he told what little he knew and prob
ably added his own Interpretation After
the first rush and mass of excitement n
the office the news went over town like an
electric current. Half a dozen groups
Of men formed inside the hotel and twenty
or more outside. Each little knot in turn
dissolved and every man in it became the
nucleus for another crowd eager % learn
how the trouble came up. Patrolman Derr
who was the first officer on the scene, had
TO tell the story Of what ne knew over and
over again and the boy at the cigar stand
had constant procession. AL sorts OF
stories got out-that six shots were fired,
that both men were shot in the head, that
ro words passed between the two men,
and that Mr.. Cunningham was a Texas
rough who had simply gotten on a drunk
and killed Mr.. McMahon for sheer devil
try; that he had attempted 10 run and
was killed by a bystarder.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED
New Feature to "A Case Involving Interest
ing Points of Law.

In October, 1893, a. 3. Greer Of this
city was injured while travelling on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, and
in the following December the road was
placed in the hands of receivers by an or
der of Judge Henry Caldwell of the Unit
ed States circuit court. The judge pro-
vided in this order that the receivers
should pay al claims for damages for
personal injuries occurring on said road
within twelve months preceding the ap-
pointment Of the receivers. Messrs Rohr-
baugh & Rauch thereupon sued the re-
ceivers in the district court of this couH-
ty 20 recover the sum of s15, 900 damage
for the Injury to Mr.. Green upon the the
cry that the receivers were primarily La
bic under the order and could be sued in
any court OF competent jurisdiction. Az
this term of the court the case came on
for trial and after the evidence was all in
for the plaintiff the receivers demurred
- the evidence. holding that the receivers
were rot lia5la under the order 10 an ac-
ton until the cain had been adjudica ted
agains. the company and the damages
Equidated by judgment against the
company. and upon this theory Judge
Da.e sustained the demurrer and dis
missed The action. Mr. Green's counsel
immediatel filed motion for new trial.
This motion came up for a hearing yes
terday. when Mr. Rohrbaugh made
very exhaustive argument, speaking fcr
four hours n favor Of rue lew t1ial and
setting aside the judgment OF the court
dismssing the action. Mr. Ferguson re-
pied, and the judge, in commenting on the
case. said that he was glad Nh. Rohr-
baugh had taken the time to thoroughly
argue the law; that ne had a different
view Of the matter now, and that he be-
lieved that our supreme court when called
upon to pass on the question would hold
tha; the action was properly brought
against the receivers, and he thereupor
granted a new trial.
This IS the first time this question has
been directly passed upon by the supreme
court Of any stale or the United States.
hence is Importance after a thorough
argument.
