Hutchfson Again I'm Trou-
bic for Retaining Val Andres
COw-MisceIIaneOus

II. j. Hutchison. late '.impounder," is
again in trouble. Yesterday Val Andres
went before Justice Trowbridge and swore
ouS a warrant fer his arrest, charging him
with unlawfully acting as public officer.
The warrant was placed in the hands of
Constable Barrett who had not served it
up to late hour last night. Hutchison
several weeks ago took up Andres cow
several times under the stock ordinance.
Andres. it is claimed. paid several fees
10 Hutchison for the release of his COW.
and he now proposes to prosecute him for
collecting the fees and unlawfully acting
as an officer. 1t was said yesterday that
every person whose stock Hutchinson had
taken up during the time which he acted
as impounder intended TO prosecute him.
and make a separate charge in each case
This would make some. fifty cases
a similar case against Hutchison was
dismissed in Justice Trowbridge's court
Monday by the defendant paying the costs
and agreeing to cease acting as fmpounder.
He still, however, retains possession of
Andres cow and refused to release it un-
til the costs were paid, which Andres
refused to do.

LOAN OBTAINED BY FRAUD.
t. j. EDDINGroN'S NAME FORGED TO
4 MORTGAGE.
He Lived in Kansas City, Kas., and
Died Since the Discovery of the
Work of the FOrgers-Oth-
er Criminal Doings.

A clever swindle and forgery has been
unearthed in Kansas City, Kas., and the
authorities of that city are close on the
trail of the perpetrators. The latter part
of October r ]. Eddington, who lived at
No. III Carr avenue, Kansas City, Kas.,
borrowed $50 on a farm owned by him in
Missouri. The loan was made by real
estate broker at Independence. Soon after
Mr.. Eddington received the first loan he
took sick. About Il month later he asked
for n second loan and was surprised to
learn that Il person giving the name of
George Clark had borrowed $500 on mis-
property.
An investigation was Immediately made
and a clever swindle and forgery discov-
cred. When Clark made a demand for
loan of $500 he produced a deed purporting
to have been made by Eddington and trans
ferring the property to George Clark and
wife, Anna. The deed bore the seal of o.
T. Stevenson, a notary public of Kansas
City, Kas., and from all appearances was
genuine. The swindlers evidently knew of
Eddington's first loan, as they went to
the same money loaner at Independence
and had the first loan included in the false
transfer.
While the forgery has been known to Ed
dington and the Independence people for
some time, they have kept it quiet and
have had detectives working on the case.
Monday night, Attorney Clement, of In
dependence, accompanied by Il Pinkerton
detective, came to this city and went to
the home of Mr. Stevenson, the notary
whose seal appears on the bogus deed Mr..
Stevenson was greatly surprised and stated
that he had no recollection of ever taking
any such acknowledgment. One strange
feature about the transaction is the fact
that the deed not only contains his seal,
but has the correct date of the expiration
of his commission as n notary. The au-
thorities have been working diligently on
the case ever since the forgery was first
discovered and they feel confident that
they will have the guilty parties behind
the bars within Il few days. State war
rants have been issued, but the authorities
refuse TO divulge the names of the sus-
pected persons.
There is no doubt that the swindlers We're
we'll acquainted with Eddington's business
affairs, and were also familiar with the
office of Notary Stevenson. Mr.. Stevenson's
office is located at 54S Minnesota avenue
and the supposition is that the forgers
entered his office during his absence and
used his notary seal. The exact date of
his commission was likely secured from
some other instrument.
One interesting feature about the forgery
is that Eddington, whose name was forged
to the deed, is dead. He died Sunday night
and was buried yesterday. He was 81 years
old. He leaves one daughter, who resides
in Kansas City, KaS.

WANT THE TIME EXTENDED.
In Which to Equip All Cars With Au-
tomato Couplers and
Train Brakes.

Washington, Jan. 5.-A committee repre-
senting a number of the large railroads of
the country, headed by Receiver John X
Cowen, of the Baltimore e Ohio, had a
conference to-day with the interstate COM
merce commission to discuss the safety ap-
pliance law. The meeting was an informal
one and no petition TO the commission of
any kind was submitted, as was expected.
The roads are ANXIOUS to have the limit
within which all railroads are required by
law to equip all their cars, both passenger
and freight, with automatic couplers and
train brakes, extended, and the object of
the meeting was to talk over the best
means of securing an extension of time.
The time fixed is January l. 1898. The COM
mittee called attention to a bill now pend
ing in congress providing for five years
extension, and strong efforts will be made
to secure the passage of the bill. The COM
mission has watched the progress of the
equipment and is CogniZant of the impos-
sibility of the roads completing it by next
January. 1t is disposed to aid the roads
as far as feasible and will, in all likelihood,
extend the time materially, though it is
not expected it will permit another five
years of preparation.

a strong sentiment in favor of issuing
bonds for the building of a city hall Sew
enty-hve per cent of the men approached

but on the matter of sewerage there was a
vast difference of opinion. The undeveI-

given as the cause for opposing the sewer
