BILE In Graham County.

Hill City. March 31.-InIow & Sanford
of the ePople's Reveille has been sued
for criminal libel. They published an
article on the alleged fraudulent organi-
zation of Comanche county, in 1873, and
implicated A. J. Mowry, charging him
with being one of the prime movers in
this organization.
Mr.. Mowry is now resident of Ora
ham county He takes exception to the
article and has caused the arrest of the
editors. The case was brought in the
justice court, and the county attorney
held that the justice court had no juris-
diction in a case of this nature, and
asked the justice to dismiss the case.
The court refused to do so, whereupon
the county attorney has caused the ar
rest of the court for abuse of official
authority, with intent to annoy and
harass the defendants. The case is
likely to be hotly contested and consid-
cradle excitement is manifested

WHY HE SUICIDED.
Lieut.. Green Feared a Dismissal From
Naval Service.

New York. March 21-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long has received the re-
port of the board appointed by Rear
Admiral Schley to investigate the ra-
cent suicide of Lieut.. Commander F.
f. Green, late executive officer of the
cruiser Mont goD1erv.
Lieut. Commander Green's experience
on board the Montgomery had not been
wholly satisfactory, and his command
ing offer, Commander Merrill finally
deemed it advisable to bring the habits
of his subordinate to the attention Of
the commander in chief. This action
was taken shortly after the arrival of
Real Admiral Schley at Montevideo.
Desiring to talk with Lieut. Com
mander Green. Admiral Schley directed
Commander Merrill to sen5 the execu-
tive officer aboard the flagship. Com
mander Merrill personally gave the or
der to Lieut. Green. The latter retired
to his state room, apparently for the
purpose of preparing for the interview
with Rear Admiral Schley, and there
shot himself through the head.
Department officials say they have re-
ceived no complaint as to the discipline
on board the Montgomery, and that the
assertions from her have been no great
er than from other vessels of Admiral
Seh1ey's command. The assertions are
said to be due to the high wages being
paid to sailors by merchant steamers
conveying supplies to the British troops
in South Africa

DOUBLE HEADER HEARING.
Positions on Such Trains Wanted by
Engineers and Firemen, It Is Said.

Austin, Tex, March 31-Slow pro-
gress is being made in the double header
hearing before the railroad commission.
The taking of testimony will not be
completed for several days, at the pres
ent rate of progress. Several railway
engineers and firemen were examined
today in behalf of compliments, each of
them testifying as to the extra amount
of danger fro mthe operation of two
engines to one train.
C. NJ. Maier, third vice master of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive F'iremen,
with headquarters at Parsons, Kan, was
on the stand for several hours. Counsel
for the railroad broke down his testi-
mony in all its material points.
It was shown in his -examina-
ton that on the Atlantic division of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e, where
double-headers are in operation, engi-
neers and firemen pressed their appi
cations for double-header runs, prefer
ring them to single engine runs It was
also shown that the real cause of conf
plant from the railway employees is
that the operation of double-h headers
throws large numbers of trainmen our
of employment by reducing The number
of trains operated on a road.

FIGHT FOR ESTATE.
7. L. Ross Of Topeka Involved
in Chicago Law Suit.

Chicago, March 31.-Testifying today
in the case in which the will of Mrs.
Martha. A. Fulton was being contested
by Alfred F. Ross and Thomas L. Ross.
of Topeka, Kan, half brothers of Mrs.
Fulton and w. J. Hunt a nephew of
Valparaiso, Ind, DR.. Arthur Houghton
made the following statement to the
court: Il was offered $4,000 or a deed
to the property at 5344 Jefferson avenue
to say that Mrs. Fulton was insane or
in a mental condition which deprived
her OF her power to make a will legally.
I was told there would be $4,000 in it
for me and that if desired it the bride
would be put in the form of deed to
the property have mentioned. 1t was
a great temptation but did not do it,"
When asked where the offer of the
bride had come from, DR.. HoughtOn
said that it had been suggested to him
in the office of Attorney William H.
Richardson and with that attorneys
knowledge.
When Attorney Richardson was ask
ed about DR.. Houghton's statement he
denied the truth of it positively and
said that the charges were ridiculous
and absolutely unfounded as far as he
was concerned.
Thomas L. Ross is a real estate and
loan agent and has an office in the Col
umbian building. When shown the
above dispatch he was much surprised.
L know very little about the litiga-
ton ITSELF he said. but I am positive
there is no foundation for this charge
made by this doctor. The suit is being
conducted by Alfred F. Ross, who is my
half brother. He is as poor as am,
so I know he could not possibly make
any such offer as this doctor claims
Mrs. Fulton was q, half sister both
of myself and Alfred F. Ross. My
father married three times and one
child survives from each marriage.
After the death of my mother, my
father married a, woman by the name of
Connors, who became the mother of
Mrs. Fulton, and after she died he again
married and Alfred Ross was born.
1.-The Connors were a bad outfit and I
never had much to do with them, but
my half sister went with them after
she grew up. I raised her from the
time she was nine years old and took
her husband when he was boy and
kept him for six years. Then they got
married and went to Chicago. He be-
came a merchant and afterwards made
money in specializing, but he drank a
great deal and died three or four years
ago
MY half sister, Mrs. Fulton has been
addicted to the use of InorIh ine and
whiskey for the past 25 years, and she
has been in the asylum once at least.
She was certainly insane in my judg-
nlent for a long time before she died.
She died in January, and her property
is said to be worth about $50, 600. She
left it to her relatives on the COnnorS
side, and for that reason my half
brother brought the suit to break the
will. Richardson is his attorney, but I
do not know anything about him fur
Their than that. | have little direct
Knowledge of the litigation, but / know
I will come in for a share of the prop
erty if the will is broken.

Frank w. Niles, brakeman on the
California limited train No 3, was

that the secretary of the treasury has
complete authority in the matter of the
