CAN'T IGNORE ATTORNEY
Judge Holds Litigants Cannot Settle
Cases for Themselves.

Columbus, Kas., June 27.-The dis
trict court which has been in session
here almost constantly since May l,
adjourned today. The jury was re-
tanned for five weeks, the balance of
the time being taken up in the trial of
court matters. Judge Skidmore has
entirely cleaned up thedocket, it being
the first time it has been in such con-
dition for five years. Many import
ant cases were disposed of. One of
the most important being case in
which the court held that after liti.
CANT once employs counsel to repre-
sent him in court the litigant then has
no right to secretly settle up the case,
but must act and appear by and
through his attorneys.
The question came up in case
wherea railroad company had induced
a litigant to settle case out of court,
and without the knowledge or consent
of his counsel The court set aside
the settlement on the above grounds
and cited II long list of authorities in
support of his position.

FEEDING YOUNG BULLS.
Breeders Cautioned Against Giving
Too Much Corn.

l have for number of seasons fed
young bulls, both Shorthorns and Here
fords, although never before weighed
their daily rations until in the present
instance of three young Shorthorns
which l bought last December in Illi-
nois and Kansas, says n Colorado
grower in The Breeders Gazette. Their
ages follow: Clarence, calved Dec. 80,
1890; San Juan, calved Feb. IL, 1900;
Bartlett, calved Feb. 6, 1900.
The three bulls weighed when com
menced to feed them Dec. 81, 1900,
2,1S0 pounds. On Jan. 10. 1901, they
weighed 2,240 pounds; Jan. %, 1880
pounds, and Jan. 81, 1916 pounds.
fed them from the beginning pounds
of wheat bran, G ponds of oats and 40
pounds Of alfalfa hay per day for the
first IA days. The rest of the time
from Jan. 10 to 81 they got 8 pounds Of
wheat bran. pounds Of corn chop and
40 pounds of alfalfa hay each day.
Prices OF foods are: Alfalfa hay per
ton, So; wheat bran per ton. SIG; corn
chop per ton, $16; Colorado oats per
ton, $50.
l find that oats and bran produce
plenty Of muscle and bone. A little corn
chop added makes the cattle flesh
up in good shape. think II breeders
would adopt this way Of feeding they
would not burn their young stock up
inside as is the case with so much corn.
Everywhere l went 1t was either she'll
ed corn with blue grass pasture or corn
in the ear with sugar cane or Kafir
corn. Some feeders in Kansas feed corn
and cob meal and sugar cane or Katiir
corn, which think Is better than
straight corn.

ther Hayward this morning, Jessie
said that her conviction. was due to
the fact that she did not have a fair
trial. She claimed that all of the ma
chinery of the court was against her.
She expressed ahope that her attorney
would appeal the case and get new
trial In that event she will probably
be tried in another county.
The attorneys for Miss Morrison are
getting ready to make a strong show
ing In their motion for new trial
next week. They are gathering affida-
Wits from people throughout the coun-
ty to show that various members of the
jury had expressed opinions that Jes-
sic was guilty long before they were
summoned as jurors. For some rea-
son which is not apparent the attor-
neys for the defense believe they are
going to have a hard time getting u
bill of exceptions approved by the
court in case their motion for new
trial is overrGled and the defendant is
sentenced
Miss Morrison was unfortunate in
having a couple of lawyers on her side
who were not in good standing with
Judge Aikman. Judge A. l.. Redden
of Topeka, and 7. A. Kramer, of
this city, are law partners. For many
years they have been atsword's points
with Judge Aikman.

In THE HARVEST FIELDS
The Towns of Central Kansas are De-
serted Now.

Salina, Kas., June 27.-Exception-
ally fine weather has prevailed in Cen
tral Kansas since Sunday and har-
vesting is progressing at a rapid rate.
There is hardly a farmer in Saline
county who is not cutting wheat this
week, and the towns are we'll nigh de-
serted. The yield is better than was
expected ten days ago, and on the bot
tom lands it will exceed last years
crop. Last year there was an exceed
ingly rank growth of straw onthe bot
toms, but the heads were smaller and
poorly filed. This year the heads in
all fields and the berries are so plump
in many instances that the hulls are
not large enough to cover them, an
unusual condition. The straw, too, is
lighter than last year, which renders
both harvesting and threshing easier.

Have Charge of Assessing the
Whole County

Topeka, June 27.-The state com
mission appointed TO revise the as
sessment and taxation system of Kan

THE JURY AGREED
Finally Reached a Decision in the Fa-
nous Morrison Case

Eldorado, Kas., June 27.-Jessie
Morrison was found guilty Of man
slaughter in the second degree, late
this afternoon, for the murder OF Mrs.
Olin Castle. The penalty is not more
than five years or less than three years
in the penitentiary.
AS soon as the verdict was an
nounced Henry Schumacher, one Of
Miss Morrison's lawyers, imme diately
filed a notice of appeal. Jessie Nor
rison was taken to her old cell in the
court room and locked up. There her
father, who had been with her, left her.
The verdict in the Morrison case
was compromise. When the jury
first went out yesterday morning,
Henry Spencer was elected foreman
and then u ballot was taken TO see
whether or not the defendant was
guilty or not guilty. The vote was IL
10 for conviction. Frederick Sproul,
the Seventh Day Adventist preacher
voted for acquittal. Then the argu-
ment and the wrangling began. Five
of the jurors wanted to return ver-
dict of murder in the first degree. The
others were for murder in the second
degree and manslaughter in the Sec
ond degree Fourteen ballots were
taken, and still they disagreed. Dur
ing nearly all of the thirty hours that
fha apnt1al tho
case. Finally this morning soon after
breakfast, the five who had stood for
murder in the first degree agreed to
compromise if Sproul would forsake
his position for acquittal This he
finally decided to do when one by one
the jurors told what sentences they
would give, until at o'clock this
afternoon, when all agreed on man
slaughter in the second degree. Judge
Aikman said this afternoon that he
would not sentence Miss Morrison un-
acted upon.

Morrison will get the full limit OF i'm.
prisonment in the penitentiary for the
crime for which she was convicted.
Judge Aikman will sentence her to
FIVE years. Under the law, he could
give her three years sentence, but
he won't. The judge, like nine tenths
of the neoDle of this city. believes that
she got off entirely too easy. He will
do what he considers his duty by Civ.
ing her the full limit.
Miss Morrison was somewhat better
today. Her relatives stayed with her
until late hour last night, and
thoroughly quieted her. She finally
dropped off to sleep and they left her.
Arrangements are being made where

Hogg Swayne Well at Foot of Spin
dle-TOp Game in"

Beaumont, Tex, June 27.-The
Hogg- -Swayne well 'came in" a gusher
yesterday at o'clock. The well is
several feet from the foot of Spindle
Top hill and has an important bear
ing on the field. a three-inch pipe ex-
tends to the oil rock. The mouth of
the we'll is six inches in diameter, but
the force of the oil coming through
the six-inch pipe was sufficient to
throw a six-inch stream yer the top
Of the derrick. Seventy feet of four
inch casing was thrown over the top
of the derrick. Two of the drillers,
William Goyoucee and James Crow,
were overcome byigas and with diff
Guilty restored to consciousness. No
gate valve was attached to the casing
and the drillers had to don slickers
and wade into the shower of oil, gas
and stones until the gusher could be
harnessed.
AND ONE AT RED FORK
Red Fork, l. T., June 2S.-The town
of Red Fork, until last Tuesday a
typical Indian territory village with a
few homes and no excitement greater
than the arrival OF the regular pas
senger train, is filled today with spec
ulators from all parts OF the country
talking excitedly about the discovery
of oil and resorting to every strategy
to buy land. Oil men are here from
the Beaumont fields on the south and
from Kansas on the north.
A syndicate from Oklahoma City
came yesterday and is investing
heavily. The first sale since the dis
covery of oil was made yesterday
morning, two and a quarter acres
selling for 1925. Land began jump
ing up at the rate of 10 per cent an
hour at a time and is still advancing.
The we'll came in Tuesday at depth
of 537 feet. After passing through a
stratum of hard stone the drill passed
into deposit of soft oil stone re-
sembling blush shade. Immediate
ly there wasa rumbling and before the
drill could be pulled up oil mixed
with gas came roaring to the surface
and spouted up into the air. Since
that time oil has been flowing at the
rate of about six barrels day. The
drillers call it green oil and exper-
fenced men from both districts say
that it is superior in quality to both
the Beaumont, Texas, and Neodesha,
Kansas, oil. For some unexplained
reason, probably speculative, the pro-
moters have stopped drilling.
The well was put down with a six
and d-a-quarter-inch casing. There is
steady, strong how of natural gas,
which comes out with a sound like the
deep exhaust of a Mississippi river
steamboat. When the we'll is shut of
and suddenly released the roar is
deafening. The coming of oil is preced-
ed by hoarse, coughing sound, then
the oil gushes forth in an amber stream
covering the ground around the der
rick. Thegushing continues for about
