There is a young lady in this
city who is ''stuck" on a married
man and he don't know it. When
he finds it out, as he probably
will, there is quite apt to besome
interesting development, else he
happens to be the Tooth man, as
SO per cent of the married men
are unfaithful to their wives
when opportunity offers,-Greens-
burg Signal.
The brother, being a married
man, evidently knows whereof
he speaks. AS we do not enjoy
this blessing or curse, whichever
it we may be, we cannot speak
from experience, but from gen.
eral observation we are of the
opinion that the brother is quite
correct.

We looked in vain through tn

We looked in vain through the
columns of the Coldwater Star of
last week for a detailed account
of the case of Carroll VS.. Light
ner which was tried at the recent
term of court at that place. The
editor devoted about third of a
column to the conviction of some
iointists which could have been
mentioned in dozen words, and
only about dozen words in re-
gard to a case in which every
cattleman in the southwest is in
terested. We do not intend this
as a criticism as the Star isavery
neat and well edited sheet.

The Carol VS.. Lrshtn.r Case.
From the Greensbure Signal.

Probably one of the hardest fought
and most closely contested lawsuits
that has ever been tried in this part
of the state was that of Carroll VS..
Lightner, which was tried in Judge
Madison's court at Coldwater, last
week. We have not the room to re-
port the trial of the case in all its
intricate detail, as we would like, as
the questions involved are of special
interest to stockmen everywhere,
but will give an outline of it So that
it may, at least, be partially under
stood.
1t seems that Chas. E Doyle, of
Englewood, Kan, had been doing
an extensive cattle business for sew
eral years, also ran large mercan-
tile establishment. Doyle made his
cattle loans thru the Globe Live
Stock Commission Co., of Kansas
City, which Endorsed his paper and
sold it all over the United States.
The Globe Company failed in Dec
ember, 1899, and creditors began at
once to look for their security.
Doyle's notes and mortgages, in
dorsed by the Globe Company,
were held by the following named
banks: German American Bank, ST.
Joseph, Mo-; Leavenworth National
Bank, Leavenworth, Kas.; National
Bank of Commerce, Kansas City;
Fourth National Bank, Cadiz, Ohio;
Harrison National Bank, Cadiz, O..
Citizens National Bank, of Des
Moines, Ia; and the Boston-Kansas
City Cattle Loan Co., Kansas City;
all of which will be heavy losers I'M
der the verdict of the jury.
In December, 1899, Doyle made
an assignment of all his property, in
Guiding one of the finest ranches in
southern Kansas, having on it an ir-
rigating ditch, alfalfa lands. ETC.,
and 1900 head of high grade cattle,
to w. S. Woods, of the Bank of
Commerce and Edward Carol of
the Leavenworth National Bank, for
the stipulated sum of S32, 900, less
than half of what the actual value of
the property was proven to be. Mr..
Davis, council for the defendant,
claimed that Doyle was induced to
do this under a threat of criminal
prosecution, for mortgaging proper
ty not in his possession, and that
the value of the property turned
over to the parties was sos, ooo.to
$40, 900, and the creditors must &C
count for its full value.
The case proper was between Ed
ward Carol and John A. Lightner
of Commando county, who had pre-
viously bot 500 head of steers from
Doyle, which steers Carroll claimed
under the mortgages held by the
above named banks and corpora
tons and for the recovery of which
Carol brought an action of replevin
against Lightner.
The jury returned a verdict for
the defendant.
The case has been watched with
the utmost interest by the banks in
terested, the Stock Yards at Kansas
City, and cattlemen everywhere. 1t
involved many intricate legal prop
ositions and a multitude of details.
1t was one of the longest and hard
est, fought cases ever tried in this
part of the state, the trial lasting
fully seven days.

A gentleman once said to a re.

A gentleman once SAID TO a re-
porter: 81 never took a paper
that did not pay me more than l
did for it. One time an old friend
of mine started paper way
down south and sent it to me and
l subscribed just to encourage
him, and after a while it ublish-
ed a notice that an admins traitor
had an order to sell lot at pub
lie auction. So inquired about
the lot and told my friend to run
it up to $50. He bid it in for 81,
and sold it for 500, so 1 made
500 clear by taking that paper.
NY father told me that when he
was a young man he saw notice
in paper that a school teacher
was wanted off in a distant coun-
try, and he went there and got
the situation. and little girl was
sent to him and after while she
grew up sweet and pretty and he
married her. Now if he hadn't
taken that paper what do you
reckon would have become of
me? l would have been some
other fellow or maybe l wouldn't
have been at all.r

liable to be closed at an early date
owing to the lack of financial sup
port from the local organizations
over the state. A party that ex-

TALK ABOUT
NEW CHARTER
Democratic C0uncilmen Believed
to be Insincere.
POWER A STRONG POINT
Expressions Betray Motiyes.ss Pfin-
cipal Thing Desired Appears to be
Control of Expenditure of
More Money.
POWER A STRONG POINT

There Is much talk about the matter OF
City Council taking up the subject OF
new city charter. Many people are ot
| the belief that the Democratic members
of Council are insincere in their rNplcs-
sons on the question as some time as"
the Rossell charter was revived by Il
committee OF the Board of Trade and
a committee of City Council with no
result other than much objection by The
members of Council. Subsequent events,
however, will prove Just what the feel
ing of Councilmen is regarding the SUI.
ject.
Several members of Council have ex-
Ipressed themselves strongly in favor of
Il new charter. 1t may be said with u
fair uegree OF certainty that numerous
members are in favor of the adoption Of
q new charter. But the expressions
made are from the viewpoint of the
ofiiceholders and betray a selfish motive.
These expressions assure one thing and
that is if any action is taken in the mat
ter no charter will be considered by tie
present Council that does not give that
body added power. The principal point
that seeDs to be agitating the charter
takers in Council at present is TO regain
the powers that Council was shorn of
| by the establishment of the commissions
that today control various departments
OF the city. That is to say the abolish
m"nt Of the commissions is desired.
What Council wants, or to be more
correct. what those members desire who
have expressed themselves, is more
power. The fact that Council has 50
little power is much lamented point.
Then these members alluded to desire
| that Council have control of the experdi-
ture OF more money. This would come
with the abolishment of the commits
sions. At present Council has control
OF the expenditure OF but about 100000
ont Of annual appropriations aggregating
something like 100000. OF all but about
| $4,000 legislative enactments provide
that the money shall be raised for yari
mls purposes and be appropriated by
Council as specified. This is Il point
that rankles in the minds Of several Of
the members.
So ii would seem that the fever for q
new charter is in the interest of placing
all municipal affairs in control of Council
Ms was the case before the creation OF
commissions.
