What They Say is of
Local Interest

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press: are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On
one subject skepticsm is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due to the actual
experience of our citizens, and their
public utterances regarding them.
The doubter must doubt no more in
the face of such evidence as this. The
public statement of reputable citizen
living right here at home, one whom
you can see every day, leaves no
ground for the skeptic to stand on.

DRESS CAUGHT FROM STOVE
Mrs. Shoemaker Nearly Burned to
Death at Her Home South of
this City Monday.

Word reached town Tuesday that
Mrs. Shoemaker, who lives few miles
north of Humboldt, nearly lost her
life Monday afternoon by fire. She
was at work in the kitchen at the family
home and nobody wasin the room with
her when in some way her dress caught
fire, it is supposed from the stove.
The flames flashed quickly over her
although she tried to smother them.
Her scream for help brought her
mother-in-law from the other room
and between them they managed to ex-
tinguish the flames, but not until "a
considerable portion of Mrs. Shoe
makers clothing was burned off. She
is seriously burned about the hands
and body and at first the doct) was
uncertain whether she could survive
the injury, but it is now believed she
will. Mrs. Shoemaker is a daughter
of Mr.. Il. S. Capelin, a well known
resident of that neighborhood. and

against Thos. Wilson and the un-
known heirs Of the same man to com
pei them to appear in court and show
what title if any they have to thesouth
half of the southwest quarter of 1924
IS, which is half mile east of lola
and three miles north. He says he
has had peaceable possession for fif-
teen years and the claim of defendants
amounts to nothing but serves to cloud
his title.

them to fulfill contract entered into

contract was to sell the southwest
quarter of 35-24-20, which lies exactly
half mile west of the center of
Moran. Mason says he has the mon
ey ready but defendants refuse to full

GAS CITY TO HUMBOLDT
New Road Secures an Amended Chart
er Changing its Proposed
Course so as TO Leave
lola Out

A especial" dispatch from Topeka
dated Monday, October 2S, and print
ed Tuesday in the Kansas City
journal, says:
"The Fort Scott, lola 81 Western
Railroad Company today filed an
amended charter so as to enable it to
build branch line from Gas City, in
Allen county, through Humboldt to
Chanute, n distance of twenty miles. "
The people of this city have read
with interest but little alarm the con-
tinuous stream OF railroad news com
ing from Fort Scott. The fact thatthe
men building the Fort Scott, lola g.
Western are all Fort Scott men is
reason enough why the Fort Scott
papers should d print and circulate all
the news necessary to assist them in
securing what they want. That the
new road would like to pass through
lola is not disputed. The contest has
been waged and is now hanging unde-
cided until it can be passed upon by
Judge Stillwell.
If the road wins it will undoubtedly
build through lola. If it loses will it
follow the line laid down in its amend
ed charter and pass lola byP That is
an interesting question. Undoubtedly
If built through lola it would be more
valuable as selling property, but
perhaps it may be worth buying even
il it quits at Gas City
The outcome of the maneuvering and
scheming and legal fighting will be
awaited with considerable interest.
A REGISTER reporter called at the
Company's Offices in this city to
inquire about the proposed change of
route, but found nobody in. An at
torney who has been more or less
associated with the road said, how
ever, that the changed plans were not
o joke and that the company intended
now to make all arrangements to turn
aside from lola and build south.
Asked If any deal had been made
with the lola Electric Railroad to
handle the freight from Gas City into
lola, he said nothing of the kind had
been done.
What the road will gain by building
the extra distance to Chanute is not
easily seen. \ line to Humboldt
would connect with both the Santa Fe
and the NJ. X. & y. -Emporia
branch No more would be gained by
going to Chanute.
1t seems probable that the final
decision in the matter will be delayed
until after the Injunction suits now
pending in district court brought by
the Home Protective League against
the road have been settled one way or
the other

ASK FOR A NEW TRAIN.
Petition Being Circulated Asking for
a New Morning Train EastbOund
on the Missouri Pacific.

a petition was being circulated on
the street Wednesday among the bus
mess men addressed to Mr. II. II.
Harding, passenger agent of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, asking him to consider
the putting on of a new passenger
train to go east from lola at 1Oo'clock
in the morning and connect with the
st. Louis-Kansas City train at Rich
Hill. This is the train which the COM
pany talked some months ago OF
establishing, but said it would not
start at once because of lack OF equip
ment.
lola is a mighty good town for the
Missouri Pacific aud the road cer-
tainly would not lose anything by
making an effort to please the people.
The present passenger service here is
not of the best aud If the Santa Fe
inaugurates its proposed change, the
time table will be still less satisfactory
here. The Pacitic's old plan was to
start a train east from Eldorado every
morning to connect with the north
bound train out of St. Louis at Rich
Hill, the same train returning to FL
dorado every evening This train
would give lola passenger both
ways in the morning and in the after
noon.
1t is sincerely to be hoped the train
will be granted

ANOTHER RAILROAD DREAM.
Fort ScOtt-Iola Road Makes Feint
Towards Chanute, Rumored Ter
minus of st. Louis Line.

Here is the Interpretation which the
TT. Scott Tribune gives to the recent
action of the managers of the new
railroads:
Yesterday the Fort Scott, lola and
Western railroad which is being built
west from Moran by b. Mcdonald, G.
G.. Nelson and others, had its charter
amended permitting it to cut lola off
it's map and shoot out from Gas City
to Chanute by way of Humboldt. This
will scare lola into the belief, perhaps,
that, as reported in this paper few
months ago, the Fort Scott, lola &
Louis, Kansas City & Colorado,
which is a Santa Fe line now building
toward Fort Scott from St. Louis.
When the lola road was drst under
taken there were indications that it
was TO be a line to connect with the
Santa Fe road at Chanute, but the
company knocked this theory in the
head by securing a charter to build
to Florence, an impracticable point
on the Santa Fe. They were going
through lola to LaHarpe and thence
up to Florence. But lola wouldn't let

town has been knocking on the road
continually on the theory that it was
simply an NJ. X. q I. switch. There
seemed to be reasons justifying sus-
piciun that it was a Katy switch. Now
the company proposes to cut lola out
and 90 to Chanute via Humboldt. The
lola people few days ago wondered
If the company would not skirt that
town on the southeast, touching some
of the factories for the freight busi-
ness and go to Humboldt for Katy
connection. Maybe 1t will. The
amendment to the charter, If it is "A
blum. may mean that the road really
is an extension of the st. Louis, Kan
sas City IL Colorado or the Santa Fe.
The original plan Of the Santa Fe,
when it acquired its terminals site in
this city. was to build from here to
Chanute. In fact charter was is
sued to Humboldt and thento Chauute
to connect with the Santa Fe and give
that ro d a st. Louis line connecting
with its Texas and southern lines
This seems to be a rational railroa d
proposition.

that there was plenty of gas along the

would have expired but he has paid
the money, which averaged $50 to the

it. He says he will hold the leases
