Tho Railroad Won Out.

The damage case Of DR.. Sager against
the Santa Fe railroad company did not
90 to the jury till about 600 Thursday
morning. 1t was case in which the
opportunity for inierminable talk by the
attorneys was fascinating, Captain Joe
Waters OF Topeka who was the leading
council for the plaintiff talked for half
day or more. He discussed the evidence
in all its details and then reading each
Of the one hundred or more special find
ings answering and explaining each one
to the jury. Then Mr.. Whiteside for
the railroad company talked couple of
hours more and was followed by Mr..
Malloy for the plaintiff who used the
same amount Of time. Carr Taylor ap-
peared as advisory counsil in the case
but made no argument. This is be-
leved to be the first time on record
when an attorney has passed up an op-
portunity to talk without accepting it.
The jury was out about six or seven
hours probably answering those special
findings and then returned verdict for
the defendant. 1t must have made the
council for the defendant feel bad when
he found how we'll the jury had thought
OF him and his speech and his case, to
think he had given them so much grief
in answering all those questions OF
course this verdict throws the costs on
the plaintiff which in this case must be
quite heavy considering the number Of
physicians who were summoned as wit
nesSess, the time consumed, and the dis
tance some OF them had to travel.

A Smooth SwlndIer.

A smooth gentleman calling himself
c, d, Dent, and claiming Sterling as his
home worked upon several Of our busi-
ness men in way that was very proies-
slonal has came TO life last week, He
claimed to represent a California firm,
J. w. Frey Co, of Los Angeles, and af.
ter dickerng for some articles which he
wished to buy Tor a while would con-
clude to take it and produce a certified
check from his hrm for a considerable
sum in excess OF the amount Of purchase
AS the check would be certified by some
one purportlng TO be cashier and
stamped with the usual kind OF rubber
stamp used for such purposes by the
banks and everything would appear reg
ular on the face, he usually had little
difficulty in getting the merchant to ac-
ccpt the check and deliver the goods,
paying him the difference in cash.
This is quite a common occurrence in
business, but something happened after
ward 10 those who made these sales
that is not common occurrence, The
checks after being placed in the banks
for collection uniformly came back with
the information that there was no de-
post for any such firm in Los Angeles
and that the cashiers signiture to the
certificate was forgery. On top Of this
there would be large fee for protesting
the check. The first merchant to let the
fact Of the swindle come to light was
F. +, Fearl, He sold the man fine
watch and took his check for S27. Co.
H. King cashed another OF these checks
for the same amount paying about half
of it IN cash. He tried places in town
However It is said he got several others
in town, but the general inclination
OF the average business man is to keep
still about such a deal. But some OF
them thought it best 10 let It be known
that such man is doing business so
that they may be apprehended and
others warned, OF course this is the
proper way to look at it, altought 1t is
humiliating to acknowledge one has
been beaten. But it is almost wonder
that anyone refused this scheme because
it employed forgery and worked upon
the legimate plans Of business. There
was apparently nothing OF a grab game
about it, His checks were always ac-
companied with letters from his firm,
The J. w. Frey Woodenware Co., giving
instructions as to his route, sales etc.
mentioning the check, and written upon
good engraved letterheads. 1t is said
a considerable quantity of groceries,
and other goods have been shipped to
his address in Sterling goods which he
had taken on the check with the bal
ance in cash. OF course he is out Of
the country now and is probably plying
his trade in lands far away.

If any one thinks that the election
this year Is less important than usual
they are very much mistaken. The
office which has contol Of the finances
of the county Is to be elected next
week. OF course the opportunity fol
rewading friendship by helping those
who are close to one pesonally Is not
great this year, but from business
standpoint the election next Tuedsay
is as any county election held for
years. If the independent candidate
should be elected it would take the
contol Of the county form the repub-
lican gang which has so long plund'
cred the people. Every citizen who Is
interested in good government should
be at the polls next Tuesday morn
ing andwork all day,
Hutchinson gazette., 1901-10-31

While the republicans have appar-
emily been doing little or no work in
the Third commissioners distict, yet
no one should be deceived. The pres
tigo Of the old gang is at stake in the
election in that district and at the
last moment they will spare no labor
to get the vote out and line up the
forces. Still the contest is one that
should give encouragement to those
who favor better management of
affairs, for the independent candidate
is an ideal man for the place. Not
only does he oppose a corrupt politi-
Cal ring, but he represents the best of
civic vitues, has experience in hand
ling the county business, and his man
agement Of his own business has
gained him honestly the reputation
of business man. Many republi-
cans have signed his nomination pa
pers and have guaranteed him their
support. These are men who dislike
dictation, and while partisan per-
haps on general issues, do not like the
idea of supporting always few who
insist on running things themselves
solely for their own benefit,

There are some changes in the cleo
tion law this year and the voter
should be careful in marking his bal
lot. The ballot with the name of the
candidates for commissioner contains
only three tickets. One is the repub-
lican ticket with the republican en-
blem, the eagle, Next to it under
the head Of Independent nominations
appears the name of II. S. Thompson,
The third ticket is headed "Blank
Column, and contains only blank
space for writing in a name If any
one wishes to vote for some one be-
sides those regularly nominated,
TO vote for one of these men the
cross mark should be made in the
square to the right Of the name as be-
fore. The township tickets appear on
a seperate ballot. In nearly all the
townships republican tickets are
printed on the ballot Some of the
townships nave pOpullSu llCKetS III the
field headed Peoples Ticket" with
the populist emblem the home, In
some of the townships there are dem
Ocutic tickets with the cmblemS eS-
pecially chosen. In some Of the town
ships there are neither populist no9
democratic tickets, but independent
tickets under the head of Indepen-
dent Nominations. Independent
tickets can have no emblem. In two
or three townships there was no tick
ct in opposition to the republican
ticket filed in time to get on the bal
lot. In these townships the voters
should decide on the nominees for
the various offices, and write the
names in the blank column, being
sure to make the cross mark in the
square to the right of each name.

Water Works Purohaso Again.

The negotiations for the purchase
of the water works by the city seem
TO be progressing as rapidly as could
be expected. The latter part Of the
week n meeting Of the representatives
Of the company and Of members Of the
water and light committee Of the
council was held In Chicago, Coun.
Gilman b. W. Ladd and G. l..
Vaughan were present representing
one side and Mr., Haymer represent
ing the company owners and bonhold-
erS Of Philadelphia, Also Mr., Lewis
Of somewhere In the east representing
the New England bondhoders, and II,
Whiteside as president Of the COM
pany were present L, A. Bigger who
Is acting as a sort of peace messenger
was also present. The draft Of terms
agreed upon by the water and light
committee Of the commercial club
which given TO the public few
weeks ago was discussed and agreed
TO in substantially the same form.
Some notifications were agree to,
One was that the company would fur
nish any reports necessary any for
the council to determine the income
Of the plant This is a slight modi-
hcatlon Of the provision for making
the reports required by law, 1t was
also decided that the company should
not place any figure Of value on the
plant, but that the city council might
present a list Of five names Of expert
practical engineers, competent and be-
lieyed to possess the honesty requisite
to faithfully discharge their duties.
Out Of these five names the company
should select one who would examine
the plant and fix upon 1t what he
believes to be reasonable valuation.
Then Of course this Is to serve only
as Il basis for futher negotiations and
either party will have the right to ac-
cept or reject the valuation placed
upon the plant by the engineer, The
engineer is to be employed by the city
and If sale and a purchase Is made
the city Is to pay for his services.
If no sale is made the company is to
pay him. At this meeting also the
matter Of the water rental and old
differences were discussed and it ap-
pears as though the company would
yield to many If not all contentious Of
the city, especially regarding the re-
moval Of the hydrants from the eX-
treme northeast part Of town where
they are not used and give no fire
protection to points where they would
be of service to the CITY,
