KANSANS WILL WIN OUT.
Cattle Raising the Profitable Business
for Western Kansas Just Now,
Says Captain Churchill.

My opinion is that the people of West
ern Kansas have fully learned the folly of
trying to raise grain out there and will not
repeat the experiment said Captain J. H
Churchill, of Dodge City Kas., yesterday
at the Midland to a reporter for the Jour
nal. I'VE have tried it time and again but
we have learned after many expensive fail
ures that the country will not produce
grain until the problem of irrigation is
solved and reduced to practical working
nasls. 1t may be many years before this
What will we do meanwhile? Why. sir.
we Will raise cattle and We will make more
money by the change. We can raise cattle
United States. and cattle raising in the
future will be much more profitable than
It has been in the past. L believe the feel
ing IS very general that grain growing is
to stop and the people will depend on the
range there for pasture for their cattle as
was done for many years. The range there
does not include the whole western portion
OF the country as it once did. but there is
enough 10 give the people all the pasture
cattle on the range there eleven months of
the year, which is something that no other
portion of the country in the West can
do, The farmers will cultivate the valleys
and raise few acres of feed for use, and
on the low hills will grow a small lot of
etlps eheap feed Ss for, for the the cattle during the

EX-SHERIFF BRINGS A SUIT.
JOHN p. O'NEILL SEEKS TO RECOVER
HIS CHECKS FOR S2,O73.
Says Expert Eppstein's Report as to
the Condition in Which He Left
His Office is Completely
Wrong rs to Facts.

Ex-Sheriff John P. O'Neill who last week
deposited with the county treasurer a
check for $2073.36 to cover an alleged in
debtedness to the county, yesterday insti-
tuted suit in the circuit court against
County Treasurer Thomas ". Brady and
Jackson county to recover the check. He
declares that he deposited the check to
save his bondsmen the annoyance of a suit
while he examined into the items which
the county accountant, Samuel Eppstein,
reported to the county court as being IN
paid and not accounted for.
In his petition Mr.. ONeill sets out that
he had been advised that County Account
ant Eppstein, who had been examining into
the conduct of the Office of sheriff, intended
making a report to the county court that
he was indebted to Jackson county in a
large sum, and upon being advised of 1t.
repeatedly offered TO explain each and
every item which the accountant intended
10 embody in his report, and to produce
proper vouchers, receipts and information
corcinsively establishing that he was not
indebted to the county in any sum. He de-
clares that the county accountant rejected
his offer and refused even to inform him
which items he intended to include in his
report.
In his report the accountant set out that
Mr.. o'Neill was indebted TO the county in
the sum OF s2,073.36. Mr.. O'Netll says in
MS IellllOn lilaI, as q merchant, ana DelnR
deeply concerned in his commercial and
personal standing for integrity and sely-
ercy, and also desirous of saving his sure
ties from the annoyance of a groundless
and unwarranted suit. and to show his abb
Solute good faith that he was not !ndebt-
ed to the county. he offered TO pay the sum
named as soon as the report had been filed
with the county court, into the hands of
the county treasurer, upon the condition
that If it appeared upon fair and proper
investigation, that he was not so indebted
10 the county, the money should be re-
turned TO him.
Mr. 0'Neill declares in his petition that
the accountants report charges him with
large sums of money which he has never
received, and fails to credit him with dis
bursements made according to law. for
which he can produce proper receipts and
vouchers He declares that in some in
stances the county accountant has charged
him twice with the same item. and that
the report is full of errors and inaccura-
cies. Mr.. O'NeiIl further says he dis
charged the duties Of his office according
10 law, and that he was not indebted to
the county at the time the money was de-
posted by him with the county treasurer,
and that It ought to be returned to him.
Mr.. ONeill has retained Attorneys New 6;
Palmer and IIarnes. Holmes & krauthoff
to look after his case.
The deposition of County Accountant
Samuel Eppstein will be taken before
Judge New next Saturday.
