FIRST BATCH
Under the New Bankruptcy Law
includes Peter e. Emery
of Lawrence.

The new bankruptcy law went into eff
feet today and the result in Topeka was
the filing of two suits in which men ask
ed to be declared bankrupt. One of these
is Peter E. Emery of Lawrence, who used
to be in the banking and bond business
that place and whose liabilities are in
the neighborhood of 100000. The other
is NeIs johnson, who is employed in the
Santa F'e shops, whose liabilities are
placed a $3,165 and who wants relief
from creditors garnishments.
Mr.. EmeryS debts are nearly all to
Kansas city and eastern people. He has
but one liability in Topeka and that is to
the First National bank and is for 5000.
Cashier VIM. Henderson says that the
banks charged the debt off its books long
ago Among. the other creditors are the
First National bank of Liberty. Mo. S10.-
600; the Merchants National bank of KAN
sas City, $15,6 600; Witten Macdonald of
Kansas City, SO, 900.
Mr.. Emery says that he has no prop
erty.
Mr.. Johnson's creditors are nearly all in
Lindsborg and the largest creditor is the
Farmers State bank of that place, which
holds his note for 81, 900. He has no prop
erty except $40 due him from the Santa
Fe.

KILLED WITH A PICK.
A Quarrel Over "a Results in Murder
in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Aug In a quarrel
over stove transaction, involving 81,
Jonn Falk, an empIoye of the Metro
polltan Gable company, was struck with
a pick and killed by Captain w. H.
Reed, secondhand dealer at $50
East eighteenth street, Saturday night
at 6:30 O'Clock.
The crime was committed as FaIk
was leaving the store and was the cul-
m1nation of a dispute which lasted for
IuIly haIf an hour. Last Wednesday, 1T
appears, Falk exchanged an old stove
for new one, and agreed to pay Reed
So as boot" 81 of which was paid at
the time. Reed claimed that the stove
Falk sent him was not as good as rep
resented, and he frequently called
FaIlxs attention to the alleged mis-
representation and dunned him for the
balance due Friday Reed sent Falk
note in which he requested him to call
at the store in order to save trouble, "
and in response to it Falk appeared
there. Harsh words were exchanged,
and Reed finally ordered Falk from the
store. Falk passed through the door
and was in the act of descending the
steps when Reed was seen to rush tow
ards him with pick in his hand.
Just as Falk half turned to look at
him Reed struck him and he fell heavily
to the brick pavement.
After receiving the blow Falk never
regained consciousness, and died within
five minutes. His remains were taken
to Stewards undertaking establishment,
where an inquest will be held by Dep
uty Coroner Wheeler. An examination
of Falk's injury, as he lay on the slab
at the undertaking esta ablishment, show
ed that he had been struck by some
sharp instrument at the base of the
brain, midway between the ears. A
hole, about the size of the sharp end OF
a pick, extended through the skull,
which was badly fractured for radius
of an inch or more.
Reed is 65 years old, and lives at 1870
Forest avenue. He has a wife and
three children, and has lived in Kansas
City for the past 16 years. In early life
he was Mississippi steamboat captain.
He is said to be a man of irascible tenn
per and is reported by the police to be
very unpopular among his neighbors.

Pedestrians raised a cry of warning
which aroused the guests and they ap-
peared at the upper windows of the no.
tel in their night attire. Below them
roared the fire with gradually increas-
ing fury, and clouds of smoke made un-
certain the extent of the flames.
One. of the guests on the second floor
swung himself out upon the ledge OF
the window. peered at the flames for
moment and then deliberately jumped
to the sidewalk. He landed upon his
feet but fell into the gutter helpless.

WATERWORKS PROJECT.
Scheme to Bring Pressure to Bear on
the Waterworks Company.

At the meeting of the city council this
evening the committee on water works
will report favorably on the petitions to
call an election to vote on the water
works propositiOn-that is, to build a
new plant.
This is the preliminary step toward
the city ownership of the water works
The franchise of the present company
will expire in 1901 but the council has
shown disposition not to wait until
that time. The election to vote on the
question can not be called soon because
there are many preliminaries that will
have to be arranged.
The council is practically unanimous
on the question and there is a disposi-
ton to press the matter as rapidly as
possible.
The people do not, however, care to
build new water works at a cost of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars when
they can buy the present plant at the
end of three years. The proposition will
beyond a doubt be rejected.
