MOBILES WATER FRONT.
United states Judge Decides Ii Doesn't
Belong TO City.

MOBILE. Ala, Oct. Judge Toulmin.
of the United States Circuit Court, in
equity to-day rendered an important de-
cision against the city of Mobile. The suit
involved the ownership of the wharf prop
erty along the river front within the lin
its of the city.
The question was one of riparian rights
and ownership, and Judge Toulmin de-
cided that while the legal title 10 the land
was in the name of the city. il was
estopped from asserting the title, because
il had granted property owners the right
to build wharves and bulkheads. This liti-
cation involved the possession of the en-
tire river front, valued at $20.0OOOO and
this suit while il involved only about
500. 900 of value has settled the law as to
ownership of the river front and its many
valuable improvements, sheds warehouses,
docks, mills and bOOms, etc.

TOOK CARE OF HIM.
How Stanley Supervised Return of a
Lost Boy Traveller.

A Garnett man who was riding out of
Kansas City on a Santa Fe train last
Saturday morning en- route to Topeka
tells a story which illustrates the kind
ness of Governor Stanley, says a Kansas
City paper.
When Gov Stanley got on the train he
discovered a small boy occupying a seat
alone. and being a friend of small boys
of any kind. the governor was soon on
good terms with the youngster and had
him beside him in a seat The boy told
Mr.. Stanley where he was going and the
governor made the discovery that the boy
was on the wrong train. He hunted up
the conductor and had the train stopped
at a station in time to get the lad back
on another train to his destination with
out serious loss of time. He tipped the
porter of the returning train to insure
his caring for the boy and cared for him
as he would for one of his own children.
That boy will always remember Governor
Stanley's kindness but he viii probably
never know that it was the governor of
Kansas who showed him such kindness.
At Wichita, where Mr.. Stanley lives,
every kid knows him and will yell at him
across a street without ceremony. and the
governor is never too busy to take notice
of them.
