FIGURING Mill. of Cheney, Kan. 1t is al
legged in the petition that the mill has not
been operated since last January, and that
the nOn-usure Of the property will neces-

erty for milling purposes, and thereby
render insecure and impair the security of

appoint a receiver TO take charge of and
operate the mill during the tendency Of
the action of the court. This mill is al
legged to be owned by ]. B. Miller and
others and heretofore it has been doing
quite an extensive business. This pro-

to be again put in operation and owing
to the fattering prospects for a large
wheat crop, will again be operated with
profit, as it has been heretofore.

He stood the fiery ordeal In q mastery

cases admit that they had never seen a
better witness on the stand Cool, delib-
crate and firm, he was ready for all ques-
lions, and, after the dust had settled and
the smoke cleared away, ne was always
seen on top and the plaintiffs attorneys
smiling. He showed conclusively that, al
though young man, he was learned IN
his profession and loyal to his patients.
He made friends of all the parties in the
suit regardless Of which side they repre-
sented- DR.. Cave of this city and DR..
Donovan of Mount Hope were also on the
stand as expert witnesses Their testi-
mony corroborated that given by DR.. May
berry. They all agreed that Mrs. Du-
rand's condition was due to the injuries
received in the wreck. DR.. Mayberry had
been her physician for years before the
accident occurred, and was able TO make
positive statements as to her previous
health. He left Mount Hope about year
ago, and ever since then she has been In
charge Of DR.. Donovan. All three doc
tors agreed that Mrs Durand's condition
was very serious. and that difficult OPP

were near the scene of the accident when
it happened. Their testimony was for

The attorneys for the Rock Island are
making the hardest kind Of a fight. Every
witness on the stand was given severe
cross-examination, but the experts came
in for the largest share. They were asked
all kinds of questions as to their knowl-
edge of everything which in any way
cross-examiation was a severe test of
learning in the medical profession.
The court adjourned at o'clock and
the case will be taken up again this morn
ing. There are still a large number Of
witnesses to be examined, and it is not
expected that the case will go to the
jury before the end of the week.
