LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, Jan. %. Judge
A. l.. Myer OF the district court, who
attracted sttention recently in the re-

of the Santa Fe railroad. has rendered q
decree in which he holds that the Leavep-

whose lands the railroad runs. Traffic
on the road was abandoned for a short
time in 1894, previous to the transfer OF
the property to the American Loan and
Trust Company as trustee for the bond
holders. The line is nov being operated
as branch of the Santa Fe, and is In the
