CRAWFORD CASE ARGUED.
Judge Hazen Hears Sunday Theater
Question Discussed.

The Crawford injunction case was ar
gued in district court this morning. L. NJ.
Crawford was represented by Eugene Ha-
gan and A. F. Williams and the city by
Deputy City Attorney w. c. Ralston. The
attorneys for Crawford asked for perna-
nent injunction against the city restraining
it from interfering with any theatrical per
formances under the management of Mr..
Crawford.
The attorneys for the city raised the
claim that court of equity was not com
petent to pass on the question of the valid
shows and that the case would have TO
be decided by common law, in other words.
that the company violating the ordinances
would have to be arrested and tried for
the offense in police court before the dis

MIX UP IN THIRD.
Republicans of CampbeIl's Dis
trict Fight Over a Job.

There is trouble brewing in the Third
congressional district. 1t is over the
way the Third district shall line up on
the election of a sergeant-at-arms for
the lower house in the coming legisla-
ture.
The Third district has two candidates
for this job both from COWley county,
representing the opposing factions in
that county. John w. Skinner of Win
field, is the candidate of the Greer fac
ton, and George w. Campbell of Ar
kansas City, is the candidate of the
Eckert faction Greer trains with the
Burton crowd and Eckert with the Le-
land element, SO it can be easily seen
how the line up may be.
Skinner is here today working in the in
terest of his candidacy. He claims that
Congressman elect Phil Campbell viii
come up and help him out when the
proper time comes. Campbe1Fs friends
allege that the pins have been set up for
him, however, as far as the Third district
goes and that most of the representatives
down there have already lined up for him.
1t is said that there was meeting in
Campbells interest in Chanute a few
days ago at which his candidacy was
made secure. 1t was not until a day OF
two ago, however, that he formally an
nounced his candidacy.
Campbell has the advantage in Cowley
county because he has the representative
in his district back of him. Skinner was
the Republican candidate for the legis-
lature in the north Cowley county district,
but was unexpectedly defeated. J. c.
Pollock, the candidate in the Arkansas
City district, was elected.

CITY MUST BACK 1T.
May Be Saddled With Costs in Vine

If the city railway wins its injunction

in regard TO the right of way on East

the costs, and for damages to the city
railway as well.
sign a bond for s. OO0 on behalf of the
city to guarantee the city railway
against loss IN case the city should fail
to win the case for the VineWood Park
company
The reason the Vinewood Park rail-
way was so very anxious for the city to
allow its name to be used in the suit is
now apparent. 1t has been apparent all
the time except to a majority of the
sent the Vinewood railway interests.
The way it is fixed now. the Vinewood
road slips out scott free from all liabl-
itY in the case in case it goes against
them.
The lawsuit which threatens to cost
the city $1,000 was filed solely and en-
tirely in the interests of the Vinewood
Park railway. When the city railway
commenced to lay its loop near the de-
pot on Fifth street. the Vinewood rep
resentatives in the council called a spec
ial meeting, and voted to enjoin the rail-
way from further work. The attorneys
for the Ninewood Park road secured the
call of the special council meeting. in
fluenced the vote which authorized the
name of the city to be used in the suit
prepared the papers for the district
order, and worked UP the evidence and
affidavits in support of the petition.
When the case came on for trial. the
NineWOOd attorneys argued it.
All the city is obliged to do it allow
the use of its name-and foot the bills.

hands of Governor Stanley. When the
plans were opened there were no marks
about them to indicate who submitted
them, but the name of each contestant

his set of plans Each set was numbered
and a corresponding number was placed
on the accompanying envelope and sthe
envelopes were turned over TO the gov

WAS NOT ON FIRE.
Smoking Chimney Causes Scare at
Crawford Opera House.

Somebody at the Crawford opera.
house block smelled smoke yesterday
afternoon about o'clock. and tele .
phoned to Chief Wilmarth to come over
and investigate. Nobody In the build
ing could locate the source of the smoke.
Chief Wilmarth went in person to the
building, but before he got there another
telephone message came to send over
the chemical engine, as the smoke was
getting worse.
The smoke was n0stly in the front
rooms on the third floor of the build =
tire building, and no stoves except gas
stoves. the source of the smoke was
quite mysterious. Chief Wilmarth found
upon investigation that it was coming
from a chimney next door which was
burning out. and which was belching
it's smoke down into the windows Of the
Crawford building.

HOW HE LOST THOUSANDS
Bourbon County Man Got Two Voters
in Guessing Contest Prize.

Fort Scott, Kan, Dec. 20.-The Monitor
says:
1t has developed that Walter Fallwell,
the darlington school teacher, who got
a 81 zoe slice of the capital prize given for
the nearest guess on the number of votes
cast for governor of Kansas, has, by an
act that he, Of course. could not foresee,
beaten himself out of the whole of the big
prize. It happened in this way:
FallweIl gave a fellow 81 to take rig
out in the country and get couple of
staunch Republican voters. They came.
and both put in their ballots with a cross
in the large circle over the Republican
ticket. When the final vote of the state
was counted it was announced that Fall
well had two more than the total. He got
a part of the prize. but the sad part is
this. Had he not secured these two Re
publican votes he would have guessed the
exact number, and he was the only
person who guessed that number, the cap
ital prize of $4,000 would have been Sc
cured by him.
