KNOCKS OUT INJUNCTION.
Traders Live Stock Association Re-
lieved on a Technicality.

Because the members of the Farm
ers' Live Stock association did not
show that the Traders Live Stock ex-
change. which does business in the
Kansas City stock yards, injured them
in their operations as a trust, the SUI
preme court dissolves the injunction OBJ
tanned by the Farmers associa ton
against the Traders
The Traders exchange has about 100
members. When it was organized the
membership fee was so cents. This has
been increased by degrees until it is
now $500, for the purpose, it is alleged,
of keeping the membership as small as
possible.
One of the rules of the exchange is
that this exchange will not recognize
any yard trader unless he is a member
of this exchange" and heavy penalties
are prescribed for any member who
deals with outsiders. This made an
effectual boycott on outsiders and was
resented by the Farmers association.
An injunction suit was brought to pro-
hibit the members of the exchange from
enforcing the penalties against outside
trading. and Judge Holt of the court Of
common pleas of Wyandotte county
granted the injunction. The Traders
appealed and the supreme court re-
verses the decision and dissolves the in
junction because the Farmers assocfa-
ton does not show that it was injured
by the penalty.

w. r. Allen, is a prominent hotel pro-
prietOr of Kingman. His hotel, the
Brunswick, is the leading hotel in the
town. There was liquor sold in the
hotel and Allen was convicted on two
counts His attorneys appealed to the
supreme court on the ground that the
informa ton against Allen did not show
just when nor where the violations took
place, but the supreme court holds that
this is not necessary and that if the Of
Tense is shown to have been committed
within the Jurisdiction of the court try
ing 1t, that is all that is necessary. AL
len will have to pay the penalty.
Frank Shinn, an Elk county drug
gist, was convicted of violating the pro-
hibitory law on eight counts. He was
charged with selling liquor to a man.
whom he ought to have known was an
liquor illegally.
The supreme court holds that a drug
gist might believe that a man was an
habitual drunkard and would use the
liquor Illegally, but unless the buyer
actually did so the druggist would not
be guilty, and the prosecution would
have to show that the liquor was act
ually used for drinking purposes This
was done in three of the eight counts
and these were affirmed, but the other
five were remanded for further pro-
ceedingS.

BURTON MAY GO FREE.
Man Convicted of Murder to Have
New Trial

Robert Hawthorne Burton, who was
convicted of murder in the first degree
for shooting Fred Hoffman in Marion
a little less than year ago, and who
would consequently be given the death
penalty, has been given a chance to go
free by the supreme court. He will
have a new trial and be permitted to
show that he acted in self defense.
There was a romance back of the al
legged murder. Burton and HOFFMAN
were rivals for the hand of the same
girl, Jessie Doty, Marion county girl.
Burton was a young painter who went
to Marion early in 1900 Last November
for the girls father. and while doing it
he boarded at the Doty home. The girl
was engaged to Hoffman at the time,
but Burton seems to have made inroads
into her affections.
Hoffman became jealous of his rival
and one day accused him of telling Jes-
sic Doty that he, Hoffman, was merely
trifing with her affections. Burton de-
MED saying it and Hoffman dared him
to deny it in the girls presence.

Doty's face" said Hoffman, and tell
US that you didn't tell her that, there
will be corpse and funeral procession

court reverses the Marion county district
court and grants Burton a new trial
