FORMER WICHITA MAN
May be Made General Man
ager of Missouri Pacific.
RUSSELL HAR0ING'S RISE
He Has Resigned From the
Cotton Belt.

Last Tuesday a St. Louis paper an
nouReed that Russell Harding. formerly
division superintendent Of the Missouri
Pacific here, but now president Of the
Cotton Belt line. would resign and that
there were rumors 70 the effect that he
would become general manager Of the
Missouri Pacific, with headquarters at
St Louis. Yesterday a dispatch from
Little Rock. Arkansas, announced Mr..
Harding's resignation and stated posi-
lively. TOO, that he had been selected as
general manager Of the Missouri Pacific.
succeeding General Manager Daddridge.
who was promoted TO be first vice presi-
dent OF the Gould system. Investigation
however, showed that Mr.. Harding had
not been selected as general manager Of
the Missouri Pacific. though he has re-
signed as president Of the Cotton Belt.
A Missouri Pacific official in Wichita
who is IN a position 70 know, says that
he doesn't think the matter Of making
Mr.. Harding general manager has been
contemplated by the Missouri Pacific,
though he says M Harding undoubtedly
has some good position in view in re-
signing the control Of the Cotton Belt.
Mr.. Harding was very. popular in Wich-
tia and the people here Will be glad 70
see his promotion in any railroad con-
necdon. He was here only about four
years. but the number Of devoted friends
he made were among the best people Of
the city and state. who would be glad
70 see him made general manag ger Of the
Missouri Pacific If 50 good as man as Mr.
Doddridgs IS TO be displaced.
Mr.. Harding started in life as a civil
engineer. That was his profession. His
first service was for the International
and Great Northern. from q subordinate
position with which road ne came TO
Wichita as division superintendent Of
the Missouri Pacific. he left here about
1850, quitting the Missouri Pacific for a
responsible position on the Northern Pa
cihc. From the Northern Pacific he be-
came president Of the Cotton Belt. about
three years ago, with headquarters at
Little Rock, Arkansas, from which place
the story OF his new work came When
he got above the position OF OWL enEi-
neer Mr.. Harding developed a genius for
railroad management that brought him
rapidly 20 the front He 6oUld tell at
once what was the matter with q prop
erty that didn't pay and knew the rem
edy. He put the Cotton Belt on a pay
ing basis IN the remarkably short time
of two years. He knew the mlnutest de-
tail Of the workings Of a big system and
he kept his eve on the machinery all the
time He was an indefaiEable worker.
His former residence here would have
made him the strongest Of friends 70
the city. had he been promoted 10 some
responsible position on the big road with
which his mama IS now connected. The
truth Of the story viii be known in
few days.

sharp skirmishing TO secure a contract
in any Kansas town, and the fact that
they have come here from five different
states illustrates the city's standing for
financial solidness and big deals, These

fed when the bids should be in. They

DENIAL OF A MILLlNER
THAT SHE EVER SAT IN A HAMMOCK
WITH OLIVER II. HENRY.
The Argument VIII BE Reached Some
Time TO-Day-Batch of Criminal
Court Cases-Otber Court Gossip.

1t is expected that the argument in the
damage suit of Oliver II. Henry against
William Henry Harris, which mas oeen on
trial for several days in Room 2, superior
Court, will begin some time this morning
The case may go to the jury this evening
The defense yesterday completed the ex-
animation of the woman whose affections
are supposed to have been alianated by
Harris. On cross-examination she was
asked but few questions.
The plaintiffs attorneys devoted most OF
the day TO taking evidence in rebuttal. One
of the principal witnesses called was Mrs
Ida Nichols, who is at prevent living In
Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. Nichols Is milliner
and while staying in this city several years
ago boarded at the home Of Mrs. James
Lennon, on Bellefontaine street. Mrs
Lennon is the mother of the present Mrs.
Harris, who was formerly Mrs. Henry. AT
the time Mrs. Nichols lived with the Lem
mons Henry and his wife were living there
In her testimony yesterday Mrs. Nichols
fatty denied that she and Henry ever sat
in a hammock together with Henry's arms
about her. She also denied that Henry once
asked her TO meet him down town some
afternoon. These things had been testified
10 by witnesses for the defense TO show
that Henry was not true TO his wife. The at
torneys for the plaintiff read deposition
from Muncie woman, in which she denied
that Henry ever attempted to peep through
bathing at the home Of Henry's mother-in-
law.

With the death of James Gross this week
there was the passing of the oldest employe
OF the Panhandle at Logansport Mr.. Gross
had the longest record of continuous serv-
ice of any OF the men there and his death
was felt in every department of the Logans-
port division from superintendents office
down. James Gross brought TO Logansport
the first locomotive which was ever run out
of the city. He came along with that his
toric engine which was brought on a canal
boat and transported over the river to the
old Richmond tracks, which then terminated
on the south banks cf the Wabash river op-
posite Bddle's island, and il was his hand
which held the throttle for that engine $
first trip. Mr.. Gross ran an engine for a
long time and was afterwards given a place
In the shops. which he occupied creditably
Tor years. For the past ten years he had
been in charge Of the oil room at the Pan
handle station. His death takes away the
orly person who was connected with earliest
train service out of Logansport and who
mad been connected with the service from
II at time to this
