GLEN FAIRCHILD's CATTLE
Complicated Law Suit Over Herd of

The following is from the Wichita
Beacon:
"A special train of sixteen cars of
cattle belonging to Glenn Fairchild of
Kingman will pass through the city
this afternoon on their way to Kansas
City to be sold. Mr.. Fairchild is a well
known lawyer and politician of King
man county, but got involved in some
cattle deals some time ago and the COM
mission companies, it is said, who mad
money loaned on the cattle, took charge
of them and disposed of them. Mr..
Fairchild has a good equity in the cat
tie and hopes to pull through all right
without serious loss.
Deputy United States Marshal Fred
Trigg went to Olcott yesterday and re-
plevined a bunch of 191 head of cattle
owned by Mr.. Fairchild which were in
the hands of Jack McFal as receiver.
The order was issued out Of the United
States court at the request of the First
National bank Of Cobleskill, n. Y.
1T seems that Mr.. Fairchild mort
gagged the cattle for about $1,000 to a
Kansas City commission firm It in
turn sold the mortgage to a Cobleskill
bank. In the meantime a, feed bill of
$500 had accumulated against the cat

of the sheriff. The First National bank
of Cobleskiu then went into the United

fore the order could be issued, the San
burn company went before the probate
court and had a receiver appointed to
take the cattle out of the hands of the
sheriff
by the time Marshal Trigg arrived
with the replevin writ the cattle were
out of the sheriffS hands and Trigg
would not touch them unless the dis
trict court would arrange to have the
receiver sued. The bank then went be-
fore the United States court again and
secured a writ of replevin against the

BUILDING BOX CARS.
Santa Fe Shops Now at Work on
Large Order.

The yards around the Santa Fe shops
in this city present a busy spectacle.
The cause for this is that work is in
progress preparatory to filling a large
order for box cars.
In the planning mills every one is
work hard to turn out the material
used for the frame work and woodwork
for the cars. The men in the black
smith department are also busy turn
ing out the iron to be used in their con-
structiOn
a large part of the castings which
have to be secured elsewhere than To-
peka have arrived. For some time to
come the men will be busily engaged on
the work of car building. AS soon as
the work is gotten well under way
about ten cars per day will be turned
out.

IN NAME ONLY.
Gov. Allen of Porto Rico Appears to
Be Merely Figurehead.

Correspondence of Associated Press.1
San Juan, Porto, Rico, May 21.-
Charles H. Allen, governor of Porto
Rico, is really governor only in name.
According to the provisions of the
Porto Rico government bill, he has no
power to act without the executive
council, and he has no council. The
position he holds is unique. His desk
is heaped daily with petitions, COM
plants. suggestions, some criticisms,
some commenting. He can do nothing
and yet he is governor.
Delegations of country people march
from an interior town, perhaps 20 miles
away. They bring a petition to the
civil governor, as they formerly brought
one to Gen. Davis, the military COVER
nor. Some demand work; others bread,
all tell a tale of starvation. 1t can not
be expected that the governor receives
these people personally. His private
secretary attends to them and they are
turned away automatically.
Since May 1, the people of Porto Rico
have been waiting expectant1y the
presidents appointments. The treas
urer, the auditor and at last the secre-
tary of state are accounted for. The
other appointments are not made, and
the general supposition is that they will
not be made until Gov. Allen returns
Allen said yesterday that he had re-
ceived no summons from the president,
but it is the general opinion that he
will return on June 1.
Governor Allen does not seem to have
the authority to declare Decoration day
a legal holiday in Porto Rico. The in
sular offices will be closed and the gov
ernor will recommend that the people
observe the day as a holiday
Postoffice Inspector Sinclair and his
| assistants have taken over the former
department of posts. They are exam
lining the books, and up to this writing
have reported no irregularities. It is
expected that everything will be found
shipshape. Captain w w. H. Elliott,
the former director of posts, leaves an
lsexcellent record behind him. Nearly
from the middle states and a large
number are from Indiana Captain
| Elliott, Postmaster Lands and a dozen
clerks are from Indiana. The school
| term will close on June % and the long
| three months vacation will begin. The
| educational department has accomplish
! ed wonders during the past year al
though it is still at loggerheads with
| some natives who do not take to the
American educational system. Ameri-
can methods. text books, in both
| languages and teachers have been in
1 troduced. Over 20 American teachers
| are employed, mostly young normal
graduates, wherein lies the trouble. The
| natives claim that native teachers
should be employed. If that should be
| done the growing generation would not
| be learning the English language and
the schools would gradually drop back
| into the old shiftless Spanish methods
The man who doesn't know what he
wants is always kicking because he
doesn't get it.

SANITARY INSPECTOR ON U. P
Company Takes Steps to Prevent
Disease at Grading Camps.

The Union Pacific railway has created
the office of sanitary inspector, and an
appointment has been made filling the
position. The duty of this official Will
be to make regular visits to the board
ing outfits connected with grading
camps, gravel pits, bridge gangs, sec
ton and other boarding establishments
for the purpose of inspecting their san
ltafy condition. It is said that the rea-
son for this move on the part of the
company is to prevent epidemics of
smallpox and other diseases which in
times past have been troublesome in the
camps of the company's laborers. 1t is
stated that contracts will be annulled
with such contractors as do not follow
the instructions of the sanitary inspec-
tor.
