The Santa Fe company is subject to
more suits for damages 10 Kansas
than in any other state through
which the road runs with the excep-
tiOn of Texas. The courts Of this
state are asked each year to award
several million dollars 10 damages TO
complaints against the Santa Fe
railway. But small portion of the
damages asked are paid by the COM
pany, however. In cases where the
attorneys believe the road to be liza
BILE, compromises are proposed and
generally accepted. 10 other cases
where the foundation for damages is
slight or in reality fails to exist, the
legal department. OF the road puts up
a stubborn fight and very often wins,
IN the face Of the fact that all juries
are supposed to be more or less preju-
diced against railCad companies.

War Has Commenced In Earnest.

London, Oct. l3.-When the cabinet
meets al noon today it is evident the
Boer advance will be in full swing.
Judging from present appearances,
the Beers are preparing for stimuli
taneous invasion at five separate
points, Laing's Mex, Kimberly, Vry.
burg, Mafekiug and LObatsi. There
fore, 1t Is almost impossible to guess
the plan Of campaign. A dispatch
from Durham, dated Thursday morning
at o'clock, announces that the Beers
seized Albertins station and de.
manded the keys, which were deliv-
cred u them by the station master
who reached Ladysmith on a trolley
car. The excitement at Ladysmith
is Increasing anu the troops are
ready 10 act at moments notice.
1t is now definitely known that the
British government sent no final pro-
pOsalS to Pretoria. The Transvaal's
ultlmatum fOrestalled that intim a.
tlon' 50 far as news received thus far
shows, no shot has yet been fred.
The evacuated district between
CharistOn and New Castle, Natal,
has area of $50 square miles and con-

populated. The Jacobsdal commando

Harry Escombe, former prime min.

Dundee.
One Of the special correspondents
at Ladysmith expresses the opinion
that BOer commando OF some 200
men visited New Castle on Tuesday,
made purchases aud then withdrew.
These, he suggests, may have given
rise to the reports 10 regard to the
occupation Of Laing's Mex.

An Important Decision.

The appellate court took time at
Thursdays session TO hand down a
number Of opinions for each division,
Among them is an opinion by Judge
Milton which may be OF some interest
" farmers WHO are suing for damages
for rlghJ-OT-ways. The opinion rem.
dered is IN the case VI John Fernie OF
Reno county, against the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway con-
pany, holding That where mOrtgagOr
Of land grants the right Of-way tU a
railroad company without the con.
sent OF the mortgage, and without
any proceedings to condemn the land,
the mortgages interest is not affect
ed, and the purchaser at a foreclosure
sale under the mortgage, or his gran
tee, may sue the company for Compen.
SatiOn, though be can never recover
damages incident to the entry before
he acquired title.
In 1883 the railroad company pro-
ceeded under the statute to condemn
and appropriate right-Of-way through
the premises Of MIR. Fernie. From
the award of damages in the cOndem-
nation proceedings, Fernie duly ap-
pealed TO the district court OF Reno
county, claiming in his petition dam.
ages for 81, 500, $500 being for the land
actually taken by the company and
81 900 for injury to the land not taken.
The jury awarded Fernie S203.l0 and
he appealed from the verdict At the
trial the following state Of facts were
shown: The Chicago, Kansas and
Nebraska had purchased the right Of
way from the mortgagor then in pos
session, and the railroad has been
continuously operated by the Chicago,
Kansas and Nebraska and its sue
cessor, the CuicagO, Rock Island and
Parldc. Inc mortgage was forclosed in
1892, both Of the said companies
being parties to the foreclosure
action, and in December OF
that year the mOrtgaged land
was sold, both right Of way and other
land being purchased by Fernie.
Shortly thereafter the condemnation
proceedings, out of which this suit
grew, were begun. On the trial,
plaintiff sought TO prove damages tC
the tract outside the tract taken in
the condemnation proceedings, but
the court refused to entertain it. He
further offered to prove as a part of
the ties, rails and other materials
attached TO the right-Of-way, hut the
court held the offered evidence to be
inadmisSible. Fernie renewS in the
court of appeals his contention which
was expressly Overrulded by the court
below, namely, that he is entitled to
recover damages for the value of the
strip Of land occupied by the-right-ot
way with al the improvements there.
On, and damages for injuries to the
tract as whole, and Judge Milton de-
cides that he is entitled to recover for
such damages. The judgment of the
district court, under Judge Martin, is
therefore reversed and the case re-
manded for new trial.
