WAS COMPLICATED CASE.
Father Who Was in Jail in Defending
His Son is Pardoned.

eLavenworth, Kan, Oct. 16.-Just be-
cause he loved him, James Colburn was
given five years in the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth for completely in steal
ing his own horse which his own son had
stolen from him. The son, Levi Coiburn,
was also sentenced to five years for the
crime of relieveing his parental ancestor
Of the animal, which made an aggregate
of ten years just for the crime of steal
ing one common plug of horse. Yester-
day Warren McCIaughry received a tele-
gram that the sentence of the two men
had been committed and they were &C
cordingly released.
The circumstances of the case are Pc
culiar It seems that in 1889 the son was
working for his father on his farm near
Cameron, I T. The young man claimed
Cameron, l. T. The young man
claimed that his father owed him a Ger
tain amount of money for wages. which
the old man refused to pay. The boy.
who, by the way, was only q years of
age, retaliated by taking possession Of
one Of his fathers horses. He was ar
rested for larceny and this is where the
old mans troubles began. The father ar
rayed himself on the side Of his son at
the trial and was subsequently, arrested
for being an accomplice in the crime.
Both men were convicted and sent up
for five years.
The communion of sentence was the re-
suit of an investigation which showed
that the boy is not bright and hence is
not mentally responsible for his crime.

REGENTS WILLING TO PAY.
State University is After Man OF
Great Ability.

Topeka, Kan, Oct 16.-There S good
job open in this state for some man who
has the ability to properly conduct an
institute of learning and place it upon
a high basis. The regent of the state
university at Lawrence are looking for
such man and they will not haggle over
the salary to be paid. DR.. F. II. Snow,
who for many years was chancellor of
the institution but recently resigned on
account of his health, was paid $500 a
year, but this is by no means the limit
TO which the regents viii go to secure
a good man.
It is the ambition OF the regents Of the
state university TO place the college on
the same plane with the larger eastern
colleges and they think that this can
readily be done If the right man is Sc
cured as head Of the institution. They
are quietly looking the field over to find
the right man and when they decide upon
him the salary question will not be con-
sidered. One of the regents recently said
that they woul much prefer to pay a
$500 man $500 than a 5000 man 5000
but that they did not propose to pay any
s. 600 man 5000.

Two Citizens Start Fight Between
Bourbon and Crawford Counties.
Fort Scott, Kan, Oct. ia holly con-
tested law suit involving half acre of
land and the location of the dividing line
of Bourbon and Crawford counties is now
going through the district court.
Robert Fowler lives in Crawford county
and his adjoining neighbor in Bourbon.
A couple of years ago Fowler claimed the
line was crooked, according to the gov
erpment survey made thirty years ago,
and he sought to have it Strengthened,
which would give him half acre of Mrs.
Matthews land. This precipitated a
county line dispute during which several
fights resulted, Fowler at one time being
fined.
It was decided to let 7she question of 10
eating the line with the two surveyors Of
Bourbon and Crawford counties. The de-
cision was in Fowler's favor but Mrs.
Matthews appealed from the report made
by the commissioners. Fowler's attorney
attacked Judge Simons' jurisdiction in
court today, and Judge Simcns refuses to
hear the case because of certain state
ments from Crawford county that he
showed a prejudice. Mess the attorneys
can agree on some lawyer to hear the
case. Judge Simons viii send it to Cher
