OTTO ECKSTEIN'S BIG FIGHT
Took Two Days to Secure a jury in
Hrs sJOhusOn-s Case

Word was received in the city last even
ing that the trial of Mrs. Johnson, at
Medford. in which Otto Eckstein is MAX
ing the first Of his life. is progressing with
some startling disclosures. It took two
days TO secure a jury. The first witness
was a granddaughter of Mrs. Johnson.
She had been married, it is said. five
times. The woman on trial had been mar
ried seven times. The granddaughter tes-
tilted that once Mrs. Johnson said TO her
that if the morphine didn't soon kill him
she would have to try something else.
Shirley was meant by him" The defense
on the other hand has proved that he
was inaddicted TO the use of morphine.
The prosecution asserts that Mrs. Johnson
and Shirley were man and wife. while
Mrs. Johnson Gains they were brother
and sister. They were holding two claims
In Oklahoma. which husband and wife
cannot do. and the prosecution claims thar
Shirley had threatened to expose their
true relations as man and wife. thus con-
Y-ctinS his wife of perjury. and it was to
prevent this that she poisoned him. The
case Is attracting great attention.

Notwithstanding that fact the company
submitted petitions in the county and OBJ
tanned aid from these counties, Cimarron
township among the others, to build this
line of railway southwest to Liberal, its
present terminus.
These bonds were sold on the open mar
ket, in the east, and have passed into the
hands of bona fde holders, for value, be-
fore maturity of the bonds and maturity
of the coupons. their legality having been
passed upon by Judge Dillon of New York
and some Of the most eminent bond law
yers of America. Notwithstanding this,
litigation has arisen in all instances, as
times grew hard, and the people chafed
under the yoke of the debt, and have en-
ployed counsel to relieve them of the bur
den.
The Kiowa county case has been ground
through the courts, before Judge Williams
in the federal court here, and the Circuit
court of appeals in st. Paul, where it has
been decided in favor of the bOndholders.
The Meade and Seward county cases are
nearly the last Of the batch, and the Cim-
arron case is now before Judge Hook for
his consideration. The preliminary steps
for the issuing of the Cimarron bonds
were had prior to the expiration of one
year after the organization Of the county.
But the actual issuing of the bonds was
not until the expiration of the one year.
For these reasons the counsel claim the
bonds are good and the other side claim
the opposite.
Judge Hook took the case under ad-
visement and will render an opinion at
a very early date.
The plaintiff. Henry W. Sage, formerly
lived in Ithaca. y. Y, and was the found
er of Sage college, part of Cornell uni
versity. He is now dead, but his sons
have succeeded to the business and carry
it in the old name. Henry W. Sage was
a very large investor in Kansas securi-
ties, farm loans and mortgages, and in
municipal bonds, and up to his death he
had the utmost faith in the securities Of
the state and in its future

LAST OF BOND CASES
Judge Hook Hears a Case for $50 900
from Seward COUNTY

Judge Hook dismissed both his juries
yesterday, after disposing of all the more
pressing business before the court, and
left for his home in Leayenworth.
The last of the western Kansas Rock
Island bond cases, amounting in all to
$4,000 was argued before him Thursday.
These bond cases are the big part Of
western Kansas litigation history and
their adjustment has Interested in ma
terial way probably $1,000 people. The case
argued before Judge Hook Thursday was
the bond firm Of II. W Sage & Co, Of
the state Of New York, against Fargo
township, as successor to Cimarron town
ship, in the county Of Seward. state Of
Kansas. The action involved the validity
of an issue Of $4,000 of railroad aid bonds
issued by Cimarron township the 9Th dav
of April, 1SSS, to aid the building of the
Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway
company, otherwise the Liberal branch Of

SAYS He WAS ROBBED.
kwong Wah Says He Was Assaulted al the Corner
of Brdgham and Westminster Streets.

Kwong Wah is a Chinese laundryman
who has recently opened a place OF
business at No. 1900 Westminster street.
and yesterday he came down town to
visit a Chinese restaurant. on his way
home again, quite early in the evening,
he was assaulted and robbed at the
corner of Westminster and Bridgham
streets, at least such Is the story ne
told Lieut.. Rankin at the Fourth po-
lice station.
He claimed that as he was walking
rapidly he received a blow that felled
him TO the ground. He saw three white
hats gathered around him, felt hands
tear his money from it's place of con-
cealment and then found himself alone
and 81 20 had gone from his possession.
The police were trife skeptical. it ap-
reared rather queer that such a hap
pening even though IL occurred in the
twinkling OF an eye. could have taken
place on such a well travelled thorough
fare at such an early hour without
being witnessed at least by one per-
son. Yet no one can be found who was
a witness OF IL.
Wah. however, stuck to his story. and
gave the police a description of the
three men. one Of them was described
as being about five feet eight inches
tall He wore dark clothes and soft
white hat. No. 2 was the same I'm sta
ture and wore similar apparel. The
third was FIVE feet four inches in height
and wore a light overcoat. and each
wore a white hat

WENT DOWN
WITH! her CREW
Barge EIIengower Foundered
After Being Lost by Tug.
FOUR men LOST THEIR LIVES.
Fatality Took Place About Five Miles Of
MOntauk Point Friday Night.
BARGE kOHINOOR CAME TO ANCHOR.
Was Spoken BY the Steamer Muller, but Sea Was
so Rough That Assistance Could Not
Be Rendered Them.
BARGE kOHINOOR CAME TO ANCHOR.

Capt. Beers OF the ocean tug Tana-
qua of the Philadelphia Reading
Railroad companys fleet, who put into
Saunderstown yesterday, says he
learned that on Saturday morning the
steamer ID. III. Miller OF the Merchants
and Miners Transportation company
had sighted the barge Kohnoor about
five miles. off Montauk, standing by the
Ellengower which had gone down in
about sixteen fathoms Of water with
her crew of four men shortly after be-
ing lost by the Tanaqua.
The Ellengower was the property OF
the Reading company. The members OF
the crew were Matthew Hughes OF
Philadelphia, captain; John McCabe OF
Bishopsville, Md, cook, and two sea-
men, names unknown, who shippedfrom
Philadelphia.
Capt Peters OF the steamship Miller
says that at o'clock on Saturday
morning, as the Miller. blowing her fog
whistle at frequent intervals, was feel
ing her way along,an answering whistle
accompanied by the ringing of bell
was heard. Thinking that the notes Of
warning came from some small fishing
craft the captain followed the sounds
i'm hope of getting some information in
regard to his whereabouts, OF which the
fog had made him somewhat uncertain.
After going about three miles out OF her
course and when about five miles on
False Montauk, the Miller sighted a
barge, which later proved TO be the
Kohinoor, apparently anchored and
trying TO ride out the gale. Capt Pet
ers headed for the barge, intending 10
offer any assistance that might be de-
sired AS the Miller approached, she
began TO encounter wreckage, consist
ing of deckhouses, water barrels, trunks,
tables, tackle, rigging. ETC., indicating
that some craft had gone to the bot
tom.
When within about two ships lengths
of the barge Capt. Peters spoke her,
inuuiring her name and what assist
ance she needed. Although the Miller
stood by for an hour and sailed around
the barge several times, the high seas
made communication very difficult.
Capt. Peters managed 10 obtain the fol-
lowing information, however. The name
of the barge was the Kohinoor. During
the gale of Friday night, she and an
other barge which was ahead of her,
had broken away from their tow and
the tugboat lost them. Shortly after
breaking away from the tow, the lead
ing barge had gone down with all four
members of her crew, and the Kohinoor
was still attached to her by the tow
line.
