BIG HERD BURNED
5000 Head OF Cattle Perish by
a Fire
Which Has Swept Over the
Range In Colorado.
RANCHES ARE DOOMED
And Some Mining Camps Prob
ably Destroyed.
Town of Corona Narrowly Es-
capes Destruction.

Denver, Col, Sept. ga prairie fire,
probably started by a spark from a loco
motive, has burned over thousands of
acres of grazing lands between Kiowa
and Bijou creeks in Morgan county and
destroyed thousands of tons of hay.
Ranchman w. c. Miller and his wife and
child had a narrow escape from being
burned to death. The woman and the
child were badly burned. Had it not been
for the prompt work of the railroad men
and others at Corona, the town would
have been entirely destroyed. Going to-
ward the approaching fire for a mile back
fires were started and in this manner the
danger averted.
Thousands of head of cattle are threat
ened with destruction by the forest fires.
In Eagle county, where the flames seem
to be spreading more rapidly than in other
sections OF the state. ranch property has
been burned, and the farmers with their
stock have been trying to get out of the
path of the fires for a week past.
One large bunch of about 5000 head of
cattle IS now entirely surrounded by fire
and there is no chance for them to escape.
The report came from Deputy Game War
den Slaughter, who directed his letter two
days ago. 1t is probable that the cattle
have been destroyed by this time.
ispatcheS from various points in the
forest fire belt indicate that fires are
spreading and that unless something is
loss will be almost beyond compu tation.
AS it is now, some mining camps are
threatened with destruction and many
ranches are doomed.
miles of the town the citizens are organ
iZing to fight their advance. A dispatch
states that it is feared that the little min
ing settlement of Holy Cross, near Red
ton is cut off, the mali carrier being un-
able to get through.

Federal Court at Wichita De-
cides Famous Rush Case.
Originated at Larned and Has
Had Four Trials.
HAS TWO HUSBANDS.
Kansas City Woman Has Double
Headed Divorce Suit.
Cherokee County Has a New
Town Organized.

Wichita, Sept, 29.-One of the hardest
fought legal battles, and a case involv-
ing some of the finest points of law has
just been finally settled in the United
States district court. Not only was it
of the greatest interest for a civil suit
ever filed in this court, but before set
tied brought in the most diversified
opinions from eminent jurists. It was
tried four times in this court, twice ap-
pealed, and twice reversed by the high
er court. In 1895 the First National
bank Of Kansas City brought suit in
this court against w. Rush of Larned,
for $3.50 on note. Rush at once filed
a counter claim against the bank based
solely on this point: When the note
became due the bank put up at public
sale "A shares of western bank stock
which Rush had attached to the note
for collateral. There were no bidders,
and the bank bid in the collateral stock
in the name of the cOlOred porter
The defendant claimed that the bank
had converted this stock to their own
use instead of disposing of it at public
sale. He further set up that the stock
was worth so cents on the dollar. Judge
Williams gave Judgment on pleadings,
against Rush. 1t was appealed to the
United States circuit court at St Louis,
Judge Thayer presiding. 1t was sent
back for another trial at the trial court
which resulted in granting Rush ajudg-
ment for $4,000.
Judge williams then gave a new
trial on the appeal of the attorney for
the bank, and at the third trial the
banks attorney was at Port Arthur
and wired he could not be present. r.
L. Holmes of this city, assisted by A.
R. Strother of Kansas City, were as
signed to the case for the bank, and
81, $50 was given as judgment for the
bank. The banks attorneys again ap-
pealed the case to the circuit court and
it was again sent back for the fourth
trial, and this time, at the recent ses-
sion in Wichita, the jury gave the bank
a judgment of S2,196.
This winds up the case, after four
trials and two reversals, a remarkable
case and a severely contested one for
a civil suit.

SHE HAD TWO HUSBANDS.
Kansas City Woman Brings Double
Headed Divorce Suit.

Kansas City. Kan, Sept ga petit
ton has been filed in the district court
in behalf of Mrs. Ida Moss, in which
the court is asked to relieve her from
ma trimonial obligations which she is
under to Frank Harrel and John Moss.
In other words, she wants divorce
from two men at the same time.
AS a matter of fact, the plaintiff does
not know whether she is Ida Moss or
Ida Harrel, but from her petition it
would appear that she is both. Hence
Ida is in peck Of trouble According
to her pleadings, it all came about in
this way: In the month of June, 1889.
she became the lawfully welded wife OF
Frank Harrel. The knot was tied in
the city of Nashville, Tenn. Her hrst
adventure with Cupid was not as pleas
ant as she had anticipated, and after
submitting to kicks and cuffs from her
Nashville hubby" she deserted him
and became a resident OF Kansas. she
soon became acquainted with john
Moss and a warm friendship Sprang
up between them. In April of the pres
emit year Mrs. Harrel alleges that she
received a letter from her husband,
Frank Harrel, in which he informed her
that he had secured a divorce from her
and that she was no longer anything
to him.
If the information was sent her with
a view of making her feel sad and lone

suits. Quite to the contrary She was

obstacles. so she supposed, which led
straight to a mountain Of bliss. Not
long after she received the letter from
Harrel announcing that he had secured
a divorce from her she became the
wife of John Moss. Filled to over
flowing with happiness, Mrs MOSS
could not keep her marriage from heF
first husband, so he was informed that
he was quite correct in his statement to
the effect that she was no longer any
thing to him-she was now Mrs. John
Moss, of Wyandotte county.
Mrs Moss happiness was too extern
sive to last long, for she received word
a few days after her second marriage
that she was guilty of bigamy as Har-
rel had misformed her about getting
divorce. He was still her husband, not
withstanding her marriage to Moss.
After consulting lawyers, she decldeo

EXODUS FROM DAWSON.
Every Steamer Leaving is Heavily
Loaded With Passengers.

Seattle arrived today from Alaska with
forty KlondiI1ers who bring Dawson ad-
vices up to September 1. The winter
rush from Dawson has fairly begun.
Five steamers heavily loaded with pas
sengers were ready to leave St. Michael
when the Seattle left. The upper riv-
er steamers have full passenger lists.
Many owners were making preparations
to come out on the first ice. The up
per river steamers will make one more
trip before the season closes.
There was considerable disappOint-
ment among claim owners on account Of
the statement of Commissioner Ogilvie
that the royalty would not be reduced
by him. Ogilvie has also made it
known that he will not investigate the
gold commissioners office unless posi-
tive proof of fraud is submitted The
approach of winter was beginning to
check the ravages of typhoid and there
was a decrease in the number of deaths.

VANDAL AT LIBRARY.
He Cuts and Mutilates Pictures of
Heiresses, Authors and the Pope.

Kansas City, Sept. ga morbid
fanatic has been wantonly mutilating
the newspapers on file in the reading
room of the public library. His work
was discovered in the files of the Com
mercial Tribune of Cincinnati, O., in
the paper of Sunday, September Is. Pic
lures were cut and marked with a lead
pencil and coarse comments were made
in writing over pictures and articles.
Under one short paragraph telling of
the wealth of the pope is written, ITO
hell with him. The eyes of a picture
of Anna Douglass of Wosher, O., who
wrote the History of Wayne County,"
are cut out and lead pencil marks are
made on the body This comment is
made under the cut representing the
Able Schnebelin: rip his two-faced
wickedness out of him, another rotten
Catholic heart torn The paper over
the heart of the picture is cut out.
A large drawing of Miss Ogden Goe-
let, the young heiress of New York city,
is mutilated in a manner similar to
that of the Ohio authorize eyes are
cut out and the body is marked.
There are no other traces of this
crank's work in the Ohio papers, but is
feared that his destruction may have
extended further. A close watch will
be kept at the library to apprehend this
man and if caught he will be prose-
cuted

In a discussion of the unprecedented
accumulation of capital in this country
and its effect on the future, the New
York Sun says:
We are to see in the next decade low

high-class securities. What the effect
viii be on merchant, manufacturer, and
men Of other lines of business, may be
left to those interested, but it is a fnan-
cial axiom that a plethora of money
and dearth of desirable securities
means higher prices for the latter. The
money going into the treasury will soon
flow back into the loan market With

torious Finally when we had laid down
our arms this people rose up out of the
sea and came upon us and put US to
flight because we had no arms at hand
to fight with.
The God of heaven revealed it; so
keep your army in readiness and let US
not be caught without our arms ready
and plenty of them. The ocean repre-
sents nations (Rev. 17:10 for it was
presented to me as water.
Yours respectfully,
ANDREW KROPFF.
