KANSAS CENTRAL TO SELL.
Judge Sanborn Issues Decree of Fore
closure Against the Leav-
enWOrth Road.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-Charles Blood
Smith appeared before United States
Circuit Judge Sanborn and obtained a
decree of foreclosure and sale of the
Kansas Central railroad. The road.
which is 1853 miles long and runs from
LeavenWorth to Miltonvale, Kan, has
been in the hands of receivers since Oc-
tober IS, 1898 The Union Pacific owns
81, 314, 400 of the stock and s., 347, 900 of
the bonds of the company.
Hiram P. Dillon of Topeka, Kan, was
appointed master to conduct the sale.
AS soon as the decree was approved by
Judge Sanborn it was sent by special
messenger to Topeka to be filed there
in the Office of the United States cir
cult court for the Kansas circuit.
Judge Sanborn also issued an order
in chambers authorizing the govern
ment to foreclose its lien on the Kansas
Pacific railway. Bills for foreclosure
will at once be filed in the office of all
United States circuit courts in Missouri
and Kansas having jurisdiction over
the property in controversy. The road
is SAB miles long and extends from

were prepared by the attorney general
of the United States and are similar in
purport to those filed in the proceed
ings against the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific company. 1t is under
stood that the ganizatiOn commit
tee of the Union Pacific guarantees
that the government shall receive out
of the proceeds of the foreclosure sales

REWARD BRIDGE BURNERS
An Increase of Pension is Recon-
mended for Tennessee Bridge
Burners.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The East Ten
nessee bridge burners have been rec
commended by the house committee on
invalid pensions as worthy a higher
rate of pensions than other soldiers, be-
cause of the perilous character of their
duty and the suffering they underwent.
a number of citizens of East Ten
nessee in 1861 enlisted in the Union SER
vice as bridge burners, understanding
they would be hanged or shot if cap
tured by the enemy. They only con-
scented to undertake the work on condi-
ton that the army under Thomas should
occupy Tennessee after the bridges
were burned in order to protect the men
engaged and this was promised.
Bridges were burned, Thomas did not
come, having been recalled and the
burners disbanded. Some were captur-
ed and shot, some escaped to the noun
tains and others Joined the Union army.
In view of these acts the committee
thinks special recognition should be
given them.
These facts are set forth in report
from the house committee on invalid
pensions upon bill introduced by Rep
resentative Anderson of Tennessee,
which provides that Is persons, named,
who were engaged in this service, be
placed on the pension list at $24 a
month.

their headquarters there while the fin

took a night train for his Dallas home.
What are your plans for the imme-

Il have some business affairs in Dali

shape to leave Dallas for Nevada about
Saturday of this week, and I may get
away on Friday. I want to get there
as soon as possible to settle finally the
exact location of the fight
You won't say yet where the fight

Il can't because don't know myself.

place has been positively decided on and
