OPPOSED TOJUDGE FOSTER
Judge Munger Takes e Different View
of Stockyards Case.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 6.-FederaI Judge
Munger today rendered an opinion
granting temporary injunction in the
case of the South Omaha Stock Yards
company against the state of Nebras-
ka-
The decision in many respects is ex-
actly opposite to that rendered by
Judge Foster at Topeka in a similar
case involving the Kansas City Ex-
change.
In this issue, the plaintiff, Greenlief
w. Simpson, who is an eastern stock
holder of the company, seeks to pre-
vent the directors from putting into eff
feet the charges made for caring for
cattle as provided for in an act passed
by the last legislature. The application
declared that the law was contrary to
the letter and spirit of the federal con-
stitutiOn, in that it would practically
confiscate private property without any
compensation being offered and render
ed, and that the company was a private
corporation and not under the control
of the legislature.
Judge Munger's order is that an in
junction be issued to remain in force
until such time as argument on the
case can be submitted. The plaintiff
is ordered to give a bond in the sum of
$4,000, and testimony is to be immedi-
ately taken pending a final decision. The
contention of the plaintiff that the
stock yards company is private COM
pany, dealing only with the railroads
and not with the public generally, will
be the main point at issue on the final
hearing

Siren gthaned

Washington, Oct. 6.-Attorney Gen
eral McKenna had another extended
conference with Ex-Governor HOadley
in regard to the pending Union Pacific
foreclosure sale. With reference to the
statement cabled from London to the
effect that an English syndicate had
forwarded a bid for the Union Pacific
property in competition with that of
the reorganization committee the at
tOrney general said that although no
foreign bid had vet been received, it
was a fact that the government had
received inquiries from foreign sources
and he had no doubt that the capital

at . price much below it's value. The
government, he said had entered in no
agreement or understanding with the
reorganization committee or anyone
else by which to have the road sold at
$4,000, 900 or any other sum.
The property, he added, would be
sold under foreclosure proceedings, to
the highest bidder, and the only con-
nectiOn the government had with the
reorganization committee is that the
latter guaranteed that if the govern
ment would join in the foreclosure pro-
ceedingS the committee would guaran-
tee that a bid Of at least $45, 900, 900
would be received for the governments s

MORSE SEWING MACHINE
Causes a Family War and Brings All
Parties into Court.

ETrs. J. s. Morse and Mrs. J. D. Morse
have decided to disagree and all their
differences have to be settled in court.
Mrs. j. D. Morse is daughter-ln-
law of Mrs. J. S. Morse and up to a
short time ago they lived in the same
house Mrs. J. d Morse claims that
she found it impossible to live in the
same house and was forced to make
other arrangements. She left the house
when she was refused anything to eat
and went to a neighbOr's to stay. Mat
ters We're somewhat smOothed over
when it was agreed that Mrs. J. d.
Morse should have a ticket furnished
her to Salt Lake City. Before time for
her to leave the neighbOrS again fixed
matters up and all was peace for
awhile. Then the trouble broke out
anew over a sewing machine.
Mrs. ]. S. Morse had a sewing ma
chine and Mrs. J. d. Morse said it was
hers and asked that she have it re-
turned to her. Mrs. J. S. Morse said it
was hers and refused to return it. Mrs.
J. D. Morse replevined it from Mrs J.
S. Morse and then Mr. j. ). Morse said
that it was his sewing machine. Mr.
Morse says that when he was living in
Salt Lake City the machine was bought
by the firm of Morse & Son who dealt
in lumber, lime, cement and hair. He
further states that he was the senior
member of the firm and as he furnish
ed both the capital and experience that
all the fixtures of the firm belonged to
him and that the sewing machine is
one of the fixtures. Mrs. J. D. Morse
claims that it is the other way and
that the furnitures and belongings of
the firm should go to the Junior mem
ber Mr.. J. D. Morse.
In the court room Mrs. j. D. Morse
cried most of the time and Mr. J. S.
Morse laughed at her Both sides ar
gued and between the four MOrses in
question both the court and the law
yers We're somewhat confused.
Justice McClintOck decided the case
this morning in favor of Mrs J. d.
Morse and she will have the sewing
machine.

INUNDATES A PEAT BOG.
Illinois Farmer Finds it Necessary to
Reopen an Artesian Well to
Save His Land.

DanviIle Ill. Oct. 6.-John Goodwine,
Jr., has opened up his giant sfx-inch
well two miles east. This well was
bored when artesian water was first
found in this vicinity, but it furnished
such a volume of water that Mr.. Good
wine became apprehensive that it
would undermine his farm and inun-
date his premises and stopped it up
During the prevailing dry spell
peaty bog on the farm, located in the
middle of a large cornfeld, caught fire
The smoke from the burning bog was
suffOcating, and as the soil, which is of
a vegetable formation, was burning
several feet below the surface, all ordi-
nary means of quenching the fire fail
ed. As a last resort Mr.. GoOdWine or
dered his employees to open UP the big
we'll and turn it into the burning bog.
When the rocks and piling were with
drawn and the Wen opened, powders
weighing six pounds were thrown out
and a six-inch stream of water, rising
to an altitude of 25 feet, was soon run
ming. The volume of the well was
measured, and it was found that it was
flowing Sc 400 barrels or over $500 900
gallons of water q day.
The well had been flowing but two
days when the burning bog was sub
merged. Hundreds of people visit the

SHE WAS NEW
And Wanted to Discharge Her Whole
DUTY.


Bert Overton is glad that Festival
week is over. All the different restaur-
ants had new walters employed for the
week, and some of them are very earn
est workers, at least 1dr OvertOn
thinks so.
One day last week he stepped into a
Well known eating house and ordered
dinner. The waiter who served him
was a new one at the business, and
when the order was completed and Mr..
Overton had commenced to appease his
hunger, the young lady said:
That will cost you just 40 cents"
T haven't but 10 cents in my pock-
et," said Bert.
Cant help it; you don't go out of
here till you pay it, said the watchdog
of the counter.
Bert continued to eat, and when he
had finished he looked up and saw the
young lady standing guard at the door.
Escape was impossible.
Cant you trust me for it?' asked
Bert.
No; you must pay replied the bane
of his existence.
Cant 1 go back ana wash dishes to
pay for it?''
No very emphaticaIly
Just then the proprietor of the place
came in, and Bert appealed to him.
Why don't you punch it out of his
ticket?' asked the head of the con-
cern.
Then there was fun. The girl COM
menced to cry.
Why didn't you say you had a tick
ct. you mean thing?" cried the girl.
You are just as mean as you can be
so there"
You said I had to pay, and I didn't
suppose my ticket was any good
Mr.. OvertOn still eats at the same
counter, but one of the other walters
attends to his wants.

TWO ROADS CLASH.
Right-Of- Way Trouble Causes
a Fight at Cripple Greek.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Oct. 6.-The
right-of-way troubles between the
Florence and Cripple Creek and the
Midland Terminal railroad eliminated
yesterday in a collision between the
contracting forces superintendent
Rfdgeway and Chief Engineer Stuart
had charge of the former forces and
Superintendent Waters had charge of
the Midland Terminal. Mr.. Waters had
300 men under him laying tracks over
the disputed territory already covered
by the lines of the Florence and Grippe
Creek. superintendent RidgeWay had
his rolling stock which he backed into
the opposition who We're laying rails
across his cOmpany'S tracks
The exciting occurrences took place at
the Strong mine which played such an
important part in the strike q few
years ago. When the section of Mid
land Terminal had been lowered into
and signalIed. one of his engineers to
back a F. and c. c. train down the
siding alongside where the others were
at work. The engineer started to
back down the siding but the other
began to throw ties and rocks on the
track blocking the way of the train.
The engineer continued to run back
ward and finally hurled his train over
the obstructions and into a number of
empty freight cars which stood on the
siding. Half a dozen were derailed and
smashed, the trucks being piled on
the rocks and the boxes thrown across
the newly constructed track; In the
melee that enSUed Chief Engineer Stu
art drew his gun and fired into the
crowd. He was soon after arrested for
attempting to kill and superintendent
Ridgeway held as an accessory.
A special train from the Springs with
an injunction, arriving at o'clock pre-
vented further trouble for the time.
More trouble is anticipated.

GOLD BY MAIL.
Importation From Australia Moving
Across the Continent.

New York, Oct. 6-The million dollars
of gold which was received from Au-
straIia at San Francisco, is beginning
to arrive in this city. 1t is being sent
hither by registered mail. One bank
banking firm is in receipt of 1000. The
gold was in canvas bags holding $1,000
each, in shape like a sausage.
The government having declined to
transfer the gold from San Francisco
to this city at government express
rates to pay out currency for it
here on telegraphfc transfer and the
importers finding the ordinary express
charges too enormous, adopted the
cheaper plan of sending it by registered
mail, taking out policy of insurance
against loss.

Manager Leland of the Washbura
Football Team Takes Issue
With Chancellor Snow in
Professional Matter.

Boston, Oct. 6.-The second game in the
Temple cup series was. like the first, dis
tinguished by terrific batting by both
mines. but Baltimore came out ahead
through their ability to get in the hits
when they were most needed. Corbett
though hit hard, held the home team
down at critical times.
The game was much more interesting
and exciting than the first and the home
team was very much in it up to the last
inning, when they fell down woefully
though one safe hit would have tied the
score. No ground rules hindered long
hits, and the players. getting the full
worth of their drives, ran the bases dar-
ingly without fear of being called back.
This added not little to the game and
delighted the crowd beyond measure.

Chancellor SHOWS Statement Dis
puted by Manager Ed Leland

The amateur foot ball teams in Kan
sas have made the charge that Coach
Woodruff of the state university team
is prOfessionalizing the IL maintained
there by securing the services of play
ers who are paid for that work and who
do not take regular work in the uni
Versity, such at least as would entitle
them to be classified as Kansas univer-
sity students.
These charges having come to the
ears of Chancellor Snow, he issued a
statement, in which he said;
The assertion that the new coach of
the Kansas university football team,
DR.. Wyie G. Woodruff has offered
Inducements to certain young men in
Mitchell county. Kansas. to enter the
university for the purpose of playing
foot ball is entirely without fOunda-
tiOn. Dr. Woodruff is himself a native
of Mitchell county, and being personal
1y acquainted with the two young men
in the town of Glasgow cOrrespOnded
with them in reference to entering the
university. The only inducement Of
fered them was the postage stamp in
closed in his letter for the desired reply.
The young men referred to having OBJ
tanned positions as teachers in Mitchell
