MUST PAY BACK MONEY.
II. O. Wise Wins His Suit Against W..
B. Bailey

A jury in the district court yesterday
held that W. p. Bailey must return the
money he received from II. o. Wise, for
the township house on Hydraulic avenue.
The evidence showed that Mr. Bailey
had secured a tax title on the lot owned
by Wichita township and that he sold
the building on the lot to Mr.. Wise for
S75.
When Wise went to move the build
ing he was enjoined by the township trus-
tee and then he commenced suit against
Bailey for the recovery of the money.
It was shown that after Bailey had sold
the building he went and recorded a quit
claim from himself to Wise and that at
that time Deputy County Clerk Ford told
i'm that he must not have the deed re-
corded, that the property belonged TO
Wichita township and it was taxed and
sold by mistake. Mr.. Bailey however.
demanded that his deed be recorded.
When the case was given to the jury
Judge Dale told them that he was going
away and they could return a sealed YER
dict. The jury hurried to their room and
returned a verdict before Judge Dale
could get out of the court room. It was
for the amount of money paid and for
interest up to date.

CAUGHT BIG FISH
saur and Cline Are Quite Successful
Fishermen.


The greatest fishermen in the city or at
least the ones that show the greatest
returns Dor their trips are those who go
to Neal, Kansas Yesterday Mr.. Gus
Saur and Fred Cline returned from that
place and had with them some OF the
handsomest fish that ever came into the
town. This trip they tried to see what
large fish they could bring home with
them and so they threw back into the
river all OF the small fish that came their
way. AS result they did not have any
any great number OF fish for their week 3
fishing. yet they had some very large and
fine ones. They state that one gentleman
who went a little father up the river
than they did secured over eighty fine
croppie in a half days fishing.
Mr.. Saur had one croppie that was
about ten inches long. He said that it
was one Of the largest that he had ever
seen. One of the catfish that he brought
home measured twenty-nine inches and
weighed almost ten pounds. 1t was a
beauty. All of the fish that they brought
home weighed between four and six
pounds and some Of them more.
Others have tried and have secured
plenty of fine fish but taking one trip
with another, they think that they have
a right to claim the championship but
they are modest and the claim has not
been made by them as yet.

WAS ITS FIRST ONE
Watson Mill Shipped Its First
Barrel of Flour.
SENT TO NEW YORK
Another viii Be Turned Out
Today.

The Watson Mill shipped its first barrel
Of flour yesterday. 1t was shipped to
New York and another viii be shipped to-
day. The machinery in the new mill is
being tested and some wheat was sent
through to see what kind OF -four would
be turned out.
The big mill will soon be running full
blast and then another great industry
will be settled in Wichita The mill is
one of the largest IN the state and wnen
running TO its full capacity will make
a great addition to Wichita's wholesale
and jobbing interests. 1t has all the lat
est and best machinery and experts say
there is not its equal in the state and not
many in the entire west.
The -four ground yesterday was Of
high grade and when everything is run
ming smoothly there will not be a better
quality of -four turned out anywhere
The mill has a capacity of five hun
bred barrels per day and when it is once
started 1t will be run to its full capacity.
A large number of millwrights have been
at work putting in the machinery for
several months and they are watching the
starting of the new mill with great
amount of interest. 1t is the pride Of
Mr. Watson's heart and he has imbued
this idea into his men until as they leave
and go to their work they survey with
pride the big building in the north part
OF the city. When they get inside and
see the great numbers of wheels and
polished surfaces they more than ever
take pride in their achievement. The
mill is certainly a grand affair and the
people of the north part of the city long
for the day when the steady hum of the
burrs may be heard in that part Of Wich-
tia. The mill is the highest building in
that part of the city except the packing
houses and the Neveling elevator and
may be seen from almost any part of
town north of Thirteenth street

What is said TO be the biggest amount
ever involved in a law suit tried in south
west Kansas is asked by Cowley county
from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company. The suit was filed by
Hackney and Laferty who are the attor-
neys for Cowley county in this case and
the amount asked is 1910. 900. OF which
more than half is the interest upon SIPS
600 since 1879. The petition fled by the
attorneys for the county requires twenty
five pages of closely typewriter stuff TO
convey its meaning and all the various
details. A history of the case as set
forth in the petition is quite interesting to
all old settlers. The allegations are
about as follows:

formed what was known as the Cowley.

Congregational churches in Kansas. re-
signed in order TO enter upon the work of
national home missions in other states.
His resignation viii take effect January
2. 1902. a special feature of his admins
tration has been the adoption OF state

SHE WILL TRY AGAIN.
Mrs. E. L. Levitt-Shores Files Another
Suit.


Mrs. E. I. Leavitt-Shores yesterday
filed another petition in the district court
asking damages from the Western Union
Telegraph company. She alleges in her
petition that the company did not deliver
a telegram she ordered sent and paid for
and that the non delivery of that mes
sage caused the death Of her son and
daughter.
Mrs. Leavitt was going from Jewell
county to Ponca City. o. T., and at Ar
kansas City she noticed that her son
was becoming exhausted and so she tele-
graphed to the Galloway livery barn at
Ponca City to have a carriage ready for
her at the depot when the train arrived
Her home was at Ponca City. She alleges
in her petition that the operator at Ponca
City addressed the letter to Mrs. Leavitt
instead of the livery barn. When she
arrived in that city it was a very hot and
sultry day and she was compelled to stay
in the depot for over two hours, and her
son had no place and from the exposur,
then he died.
As a second cause of action she alleges
that she was compelled to send her
daughter to her home and open and pre-
pare her house for her and that her walk
ing through the dust on that hot day
was the cause of her death some months
after. She asks for damages TO the
amount of 1900, as she alleges that the
gross negligence of the company was the
cause of the death of her son and daugh-
ter. Mrs. Leavitt filed a suit of the same
nature some time ago and the case was
thrown out of the district court because
of some FAULT in the petition. 1t was dis
missed without prejudice to the petitioner

The Wichita Waterworks company have
plans completed 1or immediate improve

One car Of iron was received yesterday
the first installment of at least five miles
Df piping.
The company is already beginning to
tear UP the old wooden piping on Law
renee avenue and viii replace it at once
with iron piping. This is something that
will cheer the hearts of the people IN that
important street. They have been very
anxious for some time to make improve
memts, such as cement curbing and gut
terinss, but hesitated about doing it. so
long as the old wooden water pipes re-
tnaine1 in that street. They realized that
1t would be only a question Of time until
the old pipes would be torn up and they
did not care to have their Improvements
disturbed. They viii rejoice now to see
the work Of tearing up the old pipes be-
gun and it is not unreasonable to ex-
poet that the private improvements that
viii follow will be extensive. The work
on Lawrence avenue viii be given the

the company. is fortunately a Wichita
man. Be is chuck full Of enthusiasm ever
Wichitas present and future prosperity
and it is owing in a great measure, to his
understanding Of the inevitable future of
the city that the waterworks people are
making the improvements.
Mr.. Alley said yesterday that owing to
the uncertainty OF getting piping, the
mills being very busy. that he cannot
tell how many men will be employed in
the improvements inaugurated. They will
use force that can handle the iron s
st comes in. One long main will be built
to the packing houses and several other
mains viii be extended. It viii be a big
thing for Wichita labOring men during
the winter and spring, especially the day

Breakfast Cream Cakes.

These delicious little cakes are of
such fairy like lightness and so deli
cious that it is difficult to realize that
they are SO simple in the materially
used. 1t is difficult for tyro in cook
ing, who has never seen them served
with the accompaniment of fragrant
coffee, to realize how excellent these
cakes may be-
Take a cup of sour cream, which is
well loppered but not old enough to
have any suspicion of mould about it;
stir in a scant half teaspoonful of
soda, or just enough to make the cream
sweet to the taste; add little salt and
enough sifted -four to make dough
as stiff as pie crust. Roll the cream
cakes out as thin as pie crust and cut
the crust into long oblong strips about
an inch and half wide by three inches
long. Bake the cakes in a hot oven
until they are rich brown. They
should be baked quickly, like a pie
crust, and ike a pie crust they will
increase many times in size. This rule
gives an excellent crust for a chicken
or game pie.
