BIG GRAIN JAM
Grain Men of Wichita and
Southern Kansas
HAVE TO STOP SHIPMENTS
Over the Missouri Pacific to
Southern Points.
TO STOP SHIPMENTS

Wichita and Southern Kansas has seen
a good many conditions that blocker
grain traffic, but never until row has the
crop of wheat and corn and its shipment
damned on the tracks before. The
Missouri Pacific freight Offices in 0ich-
tia all day yesterday and the day befol e
refused to receive grain billing for south
ern points. Not only in Wichita Is this
the case but. in Kingman, Conway
Springs, Argonia, Zyba, Millerton, Maize.
Colwich, Mt Hope and Hutchinson. The
big part of grain shipm II s from Wichita
and Southern Kansas over the Missouri
Pacific goes to southern points by way
of Coffeyville, where it has to stop for
inspection. Such an immense quantity
Of grain has gone out in the last two
vile are damned so that passenger trains
can hardly get by. The switches are all
full and increased elevators and inspec-
ton forces working day and night cannot
keep the stuff moving. Even when ship
ments have been caught and held at way
stations for ten or twelve hours, it has
failed to relieve the pressure and the
general order has gone out to hold up.
There are miles and miles Of cars full of
grain that has to wait for days. The
switches were filled up days ago and the
heavier shipments have not started.
One prime reason for the jam, of
course, is the advance in rates that was
promulgated to go into effect in a few
days. On this account every grain man
that had stuff for Immediate shipment
has made a sudden effort to get it
through and save the additional tariff
that will come with the advanced rate.
Others have tried to rush everything
through possible before the advance and
the crop being unusually heavy, which
fact in itself has produced unusually
heavy shipments, it has altogether
damned the tracks and stopped ship

captain of a Michigan lake boat. Mrs.
Billings succeeded in her case, securing
several hundred thousand dollars. The
sons in Aspen were taken in as employees
by the company and presumably paid to
contest their insane brothers case. Cap
tain James Wood lost his case and is i'm
poverished today as a result.
''Ten years passed after the death Of
the father. Soon after his demise, Will
lam Wood, a bright youth Of 16 was
struck on the head In a Wichita row.
The row occurred in the house kept by
his sister, Maggie, at that time one Of
the most noted women in the wild west
He never recovered his full reason and
was taken to the insane asylum at To-
peka, where listed as a pauper, he has
been ever since. Maggie, his sister, mar
ried a man named Cavanaugh, and died
a few years later in Colorado Springs,
where her husband still lives. Mrs. Cav
anaugh secured nothing from her case
against the company, except COMPARE
tive pittance, paid her to withdraw.
Ten years ago Attorney P L. Hubbard
Of Denver and T. B. Wall of Wichita,
Kan. took up the cause of the insane
man and have just succeeded in securing
his share Of the property. The ten years
saw the suits carried from the district to
the state supreme, from there to the SUI
preme court of the United States circuit
court, and finally decided when the op-
position was tired out, with a compromise
which makes Wood a millionaire
Mr. Hubbard states he does not claim
any particular credit for the victory,
as the rights of the heirs were beyond
question, although it took years to es-
tablish them. Much credit is due At
torneys Mott of Denver and T. B. Wall
of Wichita, Kan, who commenced pro-
ceedings as far back as 1885 and con-
tinued as associate counsel. Under his
direction, the Kansas guardian OF
Wood, w. ]. B. Throckmcrton, will use
the estate under the authority of the
Kansas courts for the unfortunate
ward, who will now be taken to Europe
and placed under skilled physicians
His is not a hopeless case and there is
a bright chance of complete recovery.
