RAILROAD PAYS 800
efusal to Unload Delayed Cattle is
Expensive.

The Missouri Pacific railroad company
today sent a check for 81. 800 to the cir
cult court to settle the case of ]. @.
Richards against the Missouri Pacific
railroad company. The case was ap-
pealed from Butler county, where a de-
cisicn against the company was OBJ
tanned for that amount
The case is of great interest to stock
men, and grew out of a delay in the
delivery of stock by the railroad.
Mr.. Richards, whose home is in Texas,
shipped a train of cattle from Texas
to Reece, Kan. The shipment was made
via Wichita and the train went east
from there over the Missouri Pacific.
The bridge west of Reece was burned
and the train was unable to proceed
The cattle were not unloaded, although
the men in charge of them asked the
company to do so, stating that they
would take charge of them, provided
the company would be responsible for
the damage in unloading. This the COM
pany refused to do, and the cattle were
kept in the cars over forty hours
twelve hours longer than the limit Speci-
fed by law. A number of the cattle
died and suit was brought for $4,000.
Mr.. Richards secured judgment in the
lower court for $11 500, and the company
appealed the case, which they now de-
sire to settle without further litigation.
Harry Bone and S. c. Cowan were the
attorneys for Mr. Richards, while
Colonel Richards of Fort Scott handled
the case for the company.

strike They did have authority, the
men declare, to come to an agreement
as to the ending of the strike along the
lines proposed by President GOmpers of
the federation of labor, when he was in
St. Louis recently. The committees au-
thority extended that far and no
further they say. a meeting has been
called this afternoon, when the stIfk-
ers will consider the agreement signed

I'VE desire to make known that the

day evening, was uninvited.''
AS Captain Min is one of the most

who had killed two men in Oklahoma,

he did not look in the least like the
murderer for he is colored, while the
Oklahoma killer is a white man.
Marshal Lawson was out of humor
over his fruitless trip, but said that 1t
was due to misunderstanding in the
correspondence. The man he wants IS
Bob Christian, a member of the notor1-
Gus Christian family of Oklahoma
Christian has killed several officers, and
his brother, Bill, has an equally bad
record. Neither nor the officers here
had mentioned the color of the man

and the marshal would have been saved
