WENT UP IN SMOKE
Over a Million Dollars Worth
of Cancelled Mortgages.
BURNED AT COURT HOUSE
Officers Get Rid of a Lot of
Historic Trash.

There was an interesting bonfire In the
court house yard yesterday afternoon at
$40 O'Clock. The bonfire consisted OF
s,9l6 chattel mortgages that had been
paid and cancelled OF the records OF
Sedgwick county. The total Amount rep
resented by the mortgages was over a
million dollars, ranging in individual
sums from s. to $4,000, every one of
which, IL is said. was paid when or before
due. Some Of these chattel mortgages
were dated back twenty years, and others
had lived and went through the check
cred financial history of the boom ana
vet were not repudiated. They had been
paid. Among those of smaller amounts
was one given on a bedstead, another on
a big Newfoundland dog, and others on
stations, hogs. COWS, and almost every
kind. Of live stock, furniture and goods
iand wares of every description. MI
Carnahan, register of deeds, is compelled
to burn these cancelled mortgages In the
presence Of the county commissioners.
The large punches OF once valuable doc
uments were taken down the north steps
OF the court house and in the presence
of Commissioners Sealock and Harvard
the match was applied which wiped out
the history of many a debt and many
deal. The only record that is kept OF the
MORTGAGES is a list among the records
of the register of deeds office which
simply ,enumerates each with the NAME
date and amount. There is another
large stack Of these cancelled mortgages
IN the court house which will be burned
as soon as the limit laid down by law ex-
,Jires. Mr.. Carnahan SAYS lit Is great
nuisance to preserve them, but many
times an old chattel mortgage which has
probably been paid years ago Is wanted
by an attorney to use as evidence in
lawsuit in which some point concerning
a transaction IS involved.
The commissioners and Mr.. Canadian
stood and watched the burning of the
mortgages for nearly an hour, to see that
not one failed Of burning.

such an interest been manifested in the

The great race between Joe Patchen

OF course the big race will draw the
largest attendance. Colonel Toler pre-

during the whole meet viii be large.
Colonel Toler, who has been in eastern
Kansas this week, says that thousands
are coming from that section.

terest is in the Wichita's meeting 1t is
only necessary to show the entries are
piling up. For instance here are two
one-thousand dollar stakes, the 2:35 trot
and the 2:25 pace. These entries have
