labor OF diagnosing his case began
No Facts We're placed in the possession
OF the surgeons upon which to work,
and the result was that they made a
complete examination of his entire
body, finally locating the injury on the
left side of the skull just at the point
at which the temporal and parietal
bones join, or, in the language Of the
layman, just above the left temple.
The patients head was shaved and an
Ice pack placed upon the wound to
aiIaY the Inflammation. This over, he
was removed TO a separate room, placed
upon a cot and left to the care of a
corps of whispering nurses. Occasion
ally physician would enter the apart
ment, carefully note the changes in the
condition Of the patient and retire.
This morning at 6 o'clock, if no change
for the better is noted unfortunate
kirschbaum will again be wheeled to
the operating room and the keen
edged drills will remove his skull
just above the injury.
Last night, shortly after o'clock,
when some friends visited him. he
turned on his cot as they entered and
Hsped who are all these people,"
Immediately again reason forsook him.
his eyes rolled from side to side and
he grasped at the coverlets in his pain.
The white capped nurses shook their
heads, the physicians bent over him
without words and turned to other
cases demanding their attention. Such
is the condition of the patient. and
whether or not murder is to be charged
to his assailant remains TO be seen
There is but one account of the as
sault, and that is given by Captain
Lemcke. He says that bad blood has
existed between the men for some time
past. They met in the office. harsh
words were passed and at the end
Kirschbaum was bereft of reason. Not
withstanding the statement of the Ger
man Hospital surgeons, Lemcke is of
the opinion that Mcfarland did not
use a club or other instrument with
which to subjugate his enemy. The
captain does not know whether or not
the injured man was damned against
the office railing, but this is immaterial

James Schwartz, the proprietor of the

Abbey A Sherwood, wife Of Daniel
Sherwood, died at their residence, 14o5
Fairview avenue Saturday evening at 7:39
o'clock. Her sickness was OF only few
DAYS duration and her death startled her
many friends and acquaintance. An Old
ailment necessitated an operation, from
which she never rallied. Mrs. Sherwood
was born in eastern Connecticut on the
25th day of February, 1896, and has been
married fifty-two years. Her husband
and family reached Wichita Thanksglv-
ing day, 1856, and ever since have resided

wood was greatly esteemed by her neigh
bors and a woman of very unusual in
teHectuaI attachments. Her memory was
remarkable and very few people. men or

pany and the Grand De Tour Plow COM
pany TO have a receiver appointed to com
pei the plow company to account TO the re-
ceiver for the value of the property taken.
It was claimed by the other creditors who
brought the suit that as the Wichita I'M
plement company was insolvent and had
determined to quit business, it had no
power to transfer property to recover one
creditor to the exclusion Of the others.
J. V. Daugherty, J. D. Houston and
Adams & Adams represented the creditors
who were left out in the cold and Stanley,
Vermilion and Evans represented the
Grand De Tour Plow company, who got
the property. The case was argued fully
before Judge Dale and he decided that the
Wichita Implement company had no power
to transfer its property to one creditor TO
the exclusion of the others, and appointed
a receiver and rendered Judgement against
the Grand De Tour Plow company for the
value Of the property it got in the sum of
S, 600. The pow company took the ease
to the supreme court, where it was again
argued at the December term, and on last
Saturday the supreme court rendered a de-
clsion reversing Judge Dales ruling and
holding that an insolvent corporation had
the same right to transfer its property to
recover one OF its creditors to the exclu-
sion Of the Others as an insolvent individ-
uaI has.
The courts Of other states differ on the
question, and as the question had never
been passed upon before by the supreme
court Of this state, this decision becomes Of
considerable importance
