NeWsome News Notes.

The rich showing in the
Mascotte mine near the Iron
Crown, exclusively reported in
the FREE Press recently,
magnihes itself as develop
ment work progresses. The
Mascotte now has as prettily a
defined 6-fuot lead as is to be
found in Newsome gold basin.
Messrs. w. w. Saunders &
Co, owners of the property,
are naturally much elated over
their property and its pros
poets.
The Iron Crown mine again
suspended operations on Tues.
day and this time it is gener.
ally believed, for the entire
winter. Resumption of oper.
ations lasted but five working
Gays. 1t was presumed Supt.
Walp's new amalgamator, a
Mr.. Bishop of Florence, would
be OIL hand when things were
ready to start up, but he failed
to materalize, and with char
acteristic energy, Supt. Walp
undertook to personally run
the mill. Since its erection,
this mill has been troublesome,
has demonstrated itself to be
totally inadequate to meet the
demands of the situation and it
was therefore a matter of but
little surprise when the fact
was heralded that MIR. Walp,
finding the mill working i'm.
perfectly, decided to shut down
for the season. All hands,
save care-taker, started out
to Grangeville this week.

LeweIIing and Normal School
for Wichita.
HE LIKES THE NEW LAW
Doesn't Think 1t Will be De-
CIared Unconstitutional.

I Ex-Governor Lewelling yesterday re
| turned to Topeka, where he will remain
| during the entire session of the legisla-
ture.
Asked If he would lend his efforts to Sc
curing a Normal school for Wichita, Mr..
Lewelrng said: ~ certainly will do all in
my power to bring state institution here,
and when I say that 1 realize how hard
a fight it means. 1 went through the
normal fight for Garfield university,
worked as hard for it as 1 ever did for
anything else in my life and its defeat
was painful thing to me. There are a
number Of other points in Kansas seeking

The contest viii be lively, and while not
wishing TO hold out too rosy prospects of
success, 1 will go into the matter with all
the energy have. There is no doubt that
this city is entitled to a state institu-
ton"
What do you think about the new rail-
road iaw?'
Il see that the Republicans are talking
fuently about it being unconstitutional 1t
is not, and I do not think it will be so
decided. Besides, / think the present Re-
publican administration will treat the acts
of the special session with a good deal Of
respect You see the present state senate
was part of that special session and a TOO
vigorous onslaught on the results of their
labors might call up retaliation. For in
stance, all the appropriations for the pres
ent administrations conduct of its affairs
depends on the vote of that selfsame SEN
ate and in addition confirmation of all
Governor SANKEY'S appointees must be by
the consent of this senate. 1 think that
you will find both sides very amicable
indeed. In fact, look for quiet, and per-
maps effective session, although our peo-
pie believe that the special session accom-
plished about all that should be done"

RIGHT OF POSSESSION
Under Chattel Mortgage With
Contingencies.

| In the court OF appeals yesterday, there
will determine points of vital interest TO
! Wichita wholesale concerns, as relates TO
/ &c firms right 10 possession of goods IN
/ der chattel mortgage with certain men
acing conditions in the way.
| The cause referred 70 is that Of R. L.
| Mcdonald & Co, OF ST. Joseph VS.. A J.
Grice ct al. appealed from the district
court of Kingman county. In 1892 A J.
Grice and David Grice were partners in
! a general merchandise business at Al
bright. Kingman county, and became in
! debted to Mcdonald & Co. in the sum OF
Sl,4SL50. They executed four promissory
,, notes, secured by chattel mortgage on their
stock of goods. The firm was otherwise
| involved and had given a second mort
gage TO the Hutchinson Wholesale Gro
Gerry Co. The first note TO Mcdonald & Co.
was not paid when due. and on December
6 they sent their agent 10 adjust matters.
The Grices, by common consent turned
over the possession Of their stock 10 the
wholesale company's agent. and after
wards the agent put W. R. Underwood
in charge of the store for Mcdonald 4.
Co. One of the Grices lived IN a room in
the rear of the store building Underwood
sold goods until next day. when Mr.. Dun
nette, an attorney, arrived from Hutchin-
son with claim for collection from the
Hutchinson Wholesale Grocery Co. He
became the attorney for the Grices and
ADVISED them TO retake possession of the
store, and while Underwood was at dinner
next day the store door was barricadef
and Lawyer Dunnett informed the agent
for Mcdonald & Co that the Grjces had
retaken possession. They have held POS
session ever since. Mcdonald & Co. then
brought action in repIevIn to recover pos
session of the stock of goods the action
being against the Grices. together with
the Hutchinson Wholesale Grocery Co.
on the ground that Mcdonald. & Co. once
had peaceable possession and that that
possession having been afterward wrong
fully taken from them by the Hutchinson
Wholesale Grocery Co. and it's agents, they
were entitled to judgment for the recovery
of the property. The fact that the Hutch
inson Wholesale Grocery Co. are made
defendants in this action, together with
the Grices. seems TO be the principal point
or contention, as brought out in the argu-
ments yesterday. The argument Of the
case took up the entire afternoon session.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are R. r.
Vermillion, of this city, and John f Ly-
decker; for the defense, Hay & Hay The
case was submitted to the court on briefs
filed, and the courts decision viii be
watched with interest.
