Two More Divorce Cases.

Three more cases were filed in the
district court Tuesday, two which are
divorce cases.
Tine Y. Kelley asks to be freed from
her husband Levi Kelley. She says
they were married August "a, 1898;
one child was born to them; that her
husband deserted her without cause,
refusing to visit her or the child or
contribute for their support. Besides
a divorce she asks for alimony.
Lydia Smith sues for divorce from
b. F. Smith. This will sound more
familiar when the names are read Ida
Smith versus Ben Smith. She says
she welded him i'm Yates Center June
1888 and was faithful aud loving
wife up to the time he sawed out of the
county jail with lsaw concealed ina
cake which she took him the day be-
fore. She was a "kind and indul-
gent wife. 'Tis true. She would be
restored to her maiden name of Wilt
ford.
Sarah Yonkers. widow of Michael
Yonkers, deceased, sues to have the
gas lease on the east of the southeast
quarter of 3j-24-l9 set aside. She and
her minor son, Fred, inherited the
place from her husband. She cannot
read or write and she and her lawyers
claim she was hoodooed into signing
the lease by ID. w. Bostwick, and later
that Henry Busley by wicked fraud
placed an acknowledgement on the
lease. The lease was held by G. A.
Bowlus and transferred to the Lanyon
Zinc Company.

Jas. Spellacy in July 1900 bought
the southeast quarter of 23-2j-l7 of
Mary f. Darlington, of Pennsylvania,
through j. II. HuiTerd. He paid 800
of the contract price of $500 and has
deposited the $500 in Northrups bank
to be delivered as soon as a good deed
and abstract are furnished. Mrs.
Darlington sent the paper, but he
then learned that a suit is pending in
court that may affect the title, and he
demands good abstract and asks to
have the bank enioined from return
ing the papers as she has since de-
manded.
VIM. Paske has sued Con. Schlim
mer for 1850. with interest from July
1901. Paske by verbal agreement with
Schlimmer in May 1901 contracted for
800 bushels of shelled corn at 35 cents

Possible But Not probabIe

An lola man, from the east, has re-
ceived letter from a friend inouir-
ing about prices of real estate in this
city. And the reason he gave was
that it was rumored in his town that
the National Tube Works, one of the
biggest plants OF the American Steel
Company, is planning to remove that
plant from its present location at Me-
KeesPprt, Pa, and had its eye on the
Kansas gas field, more particularly
on the lola field. The Steel Company
has already dismantled and moved
one big plant away from McKeesport
where local sentiment is hostile to the
company and where the city mayor
has clashed with the company over
the question of helping them suppress
rioting. The tube works is a NAM
moth concern, occupying acres of
ground and employing some 5000
men. If such plant should come to
lola this town would in five years be
the metropolis Of Kansas.
Another interesting little matter is
that Mr.. John Il. Holmes who has the
money to back his enterprises, has
gained control of a late patent by
which gold is extracted to the last
ounce from ores. He is nosing about
Colorado now picking up mining
properties and it would not be sur
prising any day to learn that he has
decided to erect plant Ito reduce his
ores by this new process. He is the
gentleman who put up the money and
the brains at the outset to make the
lola cement plant a go, and If he de-
cided to locate precious ore smelter
here he would come pretty near doing

RIGHTS OF RAILROADS
EmpOria Decision Seems Parallel to
the lola Railroad Right-of-
Way Contention.

For some time there has been a row
in the Emporia courts over the con-
flicting desires of the new Orient rail
way and the old Santa Fe. The city
council granted the Orient certain
right-of-way and the Santa Fe immedi-
ately built long spur from its track
so as to shut the Orient out from using
this route. The matter went to the
courts and has just been decided in
the lower court but an appeal has been
taken. The dispatch says Judge
Dennis Madden of the district court
today rendered decision in favor of
the Orient railway in the Santa Fe in
junction suit. The Judge gave the
Stillwell line the right TO cross Santa
Fe ground and the privilege of tear
ing up the tracks that the latter road
had laid to block them. He, however,
forbade them to iniure or destroy any
part of the Santa Fe rouudhouse or
tracks that had been laid and in oper-
alton before the Orient grant from the
city. The Santa Fe was given sixty
days in which to make case for the
supreme court. People here are some
what divided in their sympathy. The
majority seems to he for the Orient. "
The case is of interest in lola be-
cause practically the same thing was
done by the Missouri Pacific to stop
the Ft. Scott, lola & Western from
using the right.of-way granted by the
council down the north sideRf the Pa
ciiic tracks. The Pacific Immediately
laid track north for block or such
matter, at any rate far enough to cut
a hole in the right of way. If the
Orient can 60 through the Santa Fe
tracks the Western can go through the
Pacific tracks at lola
