TECHNICAL LAW POINT
Case in District Court Attracted At
tent.On Yesterday.

Several cases were brought up in the
district court yesterday morning, but the
one which seemed to attract the most at
tentiOn was the case of W. b. Bailey
against II. O. Wise. This is the case in
which Bailey purchased a piece Of prop
erty from Wise on a tax deed The prop
erty afterwards turned out to be the
township hail OF Wichita township.
Bailey had made all arrangements 10
move the building away and, in fact, had
it off its foundation when he was stop
ped by the trustees OF the township. He
Immediately brought suit in the city court
against Wise. claiming that he had sold
the property on Misrepresentation
The case came up in the city court and
it was found that the property still re-
manned on the tax rolls and while no
taxes had ever been collected, yet they
were allowed to accumulate on the books
and the property was afterwards sold for
taxes
In trying the case, the question as to
the title of the property came up. The
city court had no jurisdiction in such
matters and after the question came up,
the case was sent TO the district court by
Judge Kirk.
When the case came up yesterday the
defendant asked that the case De dis
missed, as the city court had no puris-
diction and that the case could not be
properly brought to the district court by
a transcript from the city court. In the
decision of the point by Judge Dale, it
was found that the case should not have
been sent up from the lower court by
transcript, but that the case should have
been dismissed and new case brought
in higher court. There was another
feature of the case, however, for when
the case was brought. the information
filed at that time was Of such nature as
70 allow it to be brought in the city
court. Afterwards the point in regard to
the title came up and thus took the mat
ter out Of the jurisdiction OF the city

MORE HANDS WANTED
Still a Scarcity of Harvesters
in This and Other Counties
so NEEDED AT LARNED
Farmers VIII Pay 81 a Day
and Board Urgent Demand

notwithstanding the reports that west
ern Kansas Is overrun with unemployed
labor the demand for harvest hands in
this and other counties is still active and
applications are daily being made for men
Harvest is now on in earnest and the
wages paid to harvest hands range from
$50 to $3.50 per day In some localities
there is still a scarcity of workmen. At
Andale. in this county, fifty men can be
used at once A farmer was in from that
neighborhood yesterday and reported that
the immense crop could not be harvested
for some time yet, owing to the shortage
of men to do the work.
Men are coming there daily, but he say
when the train arrives there are two
farmers looking for every harvest hand
that alights in that town. The men are
also taking advantage of the scarcity OF
men and are holding out for eight hours
work at 81 per day or 20 cents per hour.
At first the farmers refused to heed the
demands, but upon seeing that they were
intending to go 10 other fields the farm
ers relented and opened negotiations for
a compromise. After taking everything
into consideration the wheat growers
came to the conclusion that their de-
mands were not extremely unreasonable
of 81 per day for eleven hours work. and
board
In some localities so eager are the
farmers to get their grain out from
under the scorching sun that they are
working twelve and fourteen hours per
day.
In the Harmed district there is also a
scarcity of harvest hands. Charles Kicker,
day clerk at the Manhattan hotel, yes
terday received the following telegram:
"Larned, Kan, June &c, 1900.
Charles Richer, Wichita, Kan.
Send, if possible, fifty men on evening
train for harvest. Wire the number sent
and I win meet them at the train.
Wages paid. 50 per day and board.
~ K. BORTO."
The sender Of the telegram is a grain
man at Larned, but Mr.. Kicker, not
having time to look for men, the telegram
was delivered to the bureau if employ
ment here, and If possible. a party will
be gotten and sent to Larned today.
Previous statements that the country
was overcrowded with harvest hands and
that the continual advertisement would
food western Kansas and Oklahoma with |
tramps has proven erroneous. The wheat |
IS getting dry and the hot sun of yes
terday didn't do it any good There are |
a number of people in the city who have |
every opportunity of being harvest hands. |
but none appear to be looking for work. |
They claim that they are going to diff |
ferent fields where they can get $3.50 and |
IS per day.
