tee on investigation, who will hear the
evidence and make an immediate report.
The facts as set out in the sworn COM
plant disclose the following: ]. A
Wright, represented by G. W. c. Jones,
sued W. E. Beidleman, who was defended
by H. G. Ruggles. The case was tried
before Justice E. z. Enoeh and a judg-
ment was rendered against Beidleman for
500. This judgment was appealed to the
district court and ]. D. 8IcEwen signed
the bond. The case was tried in the dis
trict court on November % and the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff fo-
.29.42 and on the same day motion for
new trial was made by Beidleman.
On the BIRD day of December the matter
cam up for hearing on the motion for a
new trial and went over. On the same
day o. H. Bentley spoke to tine district
clerk and said that If bill were sent to
J. D. McEwen, the bondsman, he would
pay Il. A certified statement of the judg-
ment and costs was made and Mr.. a
Thomas Cherry presented it to Mr.. Nc
Even with a demand to pay it Mr..
Cherry stated to Mr.. McEwen that a
judgment had been rendered against him
and that an execution would be levied on
his store unless the amount was paid at
once. After some protest the sum of
$40 40 was paid and a receipt on costs was
given.
Later, Mr.. McEwen learned that the
question for new trial had not been dis
posed OF and that there was no judgment
against him. He was mad and demanded
his money back and the attorneys de-
cIined to pay il back, and he filed this
complaint against them.

MADE A MILE AND A HALF RUN
Fire Department Called to Home or
Ell AuawaIt.

The town clock had but just tolled the
last stroke for z noon New Years Day
when Henry Massey, the colored man VINO
works for c. W. Brown, at 1lO4 North
Lawrence avenue, discovered a fire in the
roof of E. H Anawalt's residence, 1l09
North Topea. Almost at the same time
Mrs. DR. Purdue, who lives next door
south saw the fire coming through the
roof. and it seemed that every shingle was
ready to let loose a flame. Mrs. Purdue
acted with great GOODNESS and went to the
telephone and gave the alarm, giving &C
curately the street and number. The de-
partment had a mile and a half run to
make. and it would take them some time
to reach the fire. Mrs. Purdue kept this in
mind and sent in a second alarm, with the
same particulars, that there might be no
confusion. There was no one at home at
Anawalts and DR.. Purdue was at his Of
fee. The wind was blowing, the Purdue
home next 10 Anawalt's, and the flames
were climbing up, Every minute seemed
a long time to Mrs. Purdue and that's why
she thought the fire department a good
while coming. The fact is. she says, when
one thinks of the distance and that the
went to work in order and with precision.
she is very decided in her. praise for the
efficiency Of the fire department.
The damage done was principally, in the
third story, or attic where the fire broke
out. The house was built in 1887. at a
cost of 5000. The house is frame. and
with a good start and brisk wind It was
predicted. the block. containing some of
the best residences in the city, would go
But the department got promptly to work.
1t was not long till il was evident that the
fire would be confined to the Anawalt
house. In fact the house was saved, ex-
oept a damage Of 81. 800 to soc. The roof
was burned and the attic story. Only at
two or three places did the fire burn into
the second story.
The neighbors came in and with their
help the furniture of the lower story was
saved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anawalt were at church
and when they got home the fire was out.
Mrs. Anawalt saw the smoke on the way
home and suggested that the fire was in
the neighborhoo6 Of their house. When
they arrived everything was out Of the
house and Mrs. Anawalt was especially
pleased with the care the neighbors had
used in taking out the furniture; and the
fire department had done all that could be
done.
The fire broke out on the south side Of
the fue in the attic. There is no evidence
OF defect in the fIue but there is cyl
denoe of the fires beginning rbere and
then mounting up the chimney TO the roof
around which it burned til large part of
the roof was burned away. The house and
furniture were insured for $500 and the
loss VIII be IN the neighborhood OF se.ooo
There Will be a prompt adjustment OF the
loss oy the insurance companies.
The Anawalt family are unsettled for The
present. They have not Yet decided what
they will do while their home is being pre-
pared.
