INDIAN CLAIMS INVALID.
Jury in Ten Minutes Clears Title to
Thousands of Acres.

Olathe, Jan. 30.-In less than ten min
utes a verdict was returned by the jury
in the district court of this county in
favor of James Watson and against
Charles Bluejacket, a Shawnee Indian,
who claimed an interest and entitled to
the possession of 40 acres of land on
which watson had lived for twenty five
years. About twenty-five suits have
been filed in this court by different
Shawnee Indians, claiming title toprob-
ably 1000 acres of land in this county,
involving the homes of almost 100 good
citizens, who have resided on the lands
for twenty-five years and built fine res
licences and made the farms among the
best in the county.
After the verdict of the jury, all
cases in which Bluejacket claimed an
interest were dismissed by the attor-
neys for Bluejacket, and all other In
dian cases were continued.

BRoAD-RIcE BOUT.
Will Meet in st. Luois For Fifteen
Rounds February 10.

st. Louis, Jan. 30.-Kfd Broad and
Austin Rice will fight fifteen rounds
Monday evening, February 10, at the
West End club Both men have con-
scented to meet at 126 pounds, ringside,
and, while articles for the bout have
not yet been signed, all preliminaries
have been arranged and the match is
assured.
Broad is now in Chicago, where he
arrived from New York Monday even
ing, accompanied by his manager, Joe
Macias, and his trainer, Kid Thomas.
He will fight Tommy Sullivan before
the Illinois Athletic club of that city
next Friday evening, and is said to be
already in good trim for his bout. The
men will go six rounds at 128 pounds.
Broad's record is well known, and
especial interest centers in two of his
fights of last year with Young Corbett,
now featherweight champion of the
world. He knocked out Corbett in four
rounds on their first meeting, March 22
last, only to lose the decision to the
present champion after ten rounds of
hard fighting at Denver, July &c.
Austin Rice is better known in the
east than here, and figured in twenty
two battles of Importance last year, in
all of which he secured the decision or
a draw, with a single exception. In
this last case he lost to Tommy Feltz
after twenty rounds of fighting at Sa-
vannah. He has been fighting since
1896, and his lengthy record and nu-
merous bouts have earned him the
sobriQuet of Iron Man"

RAILROAD NEWS.
No Santa Fe Freight Depot This
Year.
Passenger Station Will Be
Doubled in Size.
WHAT OFFICIALS SAY.
Proposed improvement May
Cost $5O,OUO.
Onion Depot.

Topeka is not likely to have new
Santa Fe freight depot this year. The
officials of the road at Chicago have said
as much, and the local officers are now
directing their efforts toward securing a
liberal appropriation for the enlarge
ment Of the passenger depot
The Chicago officials listened carefully
to the arguments in favor of a new
freight depot here, and also weighed the
relative advantages a new freight depot
with those of a new passenger station.
AT least they made this announcement:
I'VE can't give Topeka all its wants.
1t must be either the freight depot or
the passenger depot this year. Next
year we Will try to build the one which
We omit this year"
AS between the two, the passenger de-
Not is most important, and the only
question which now remains to be set
tied is how much the road can afford 70
spend in the Improvement. 1t Is eStlma-
ted that to make the proposed passen-
ger depot improvements will cost be-
tween $50, 900 and $4,000
The engineering department of the
road is now at work drawing up pre-
liminary plans for the passenger sta
ton The addition to the station viii
be built at the north end of the present
building and the size OF the present
building will be nearly doubled The de-
tails of the plans have not yet been
made
General Manager H. U. Nudge, in
speaking of the situation says: 1t is
certain that Topeka will not get all that
it asked for in the way of Improvements.
We have submitted our budget of eX-
penditures for the coming year, and 1t
is being considered by the Chicago Off
Gals. They told me that it would be i'm
possible to give Topeka all that the
budget calls for. So in my mind it is
therefore probably that the proposed
freight depot will have to wait. L hope
that we may be able to build the addi-
ton to the passenger station as plann-
ed"
The proposed improvements to the
passenger station involve a general ov-
erhauling of the old depot building. The
second story of the building will be used
as offices for the division headquarters.
Instead of having simply a Harvey
lunch counter, there will be a large
Harvey dining room and lunch counter
on the main floor. The Topeka depot
has long needed such an Improvement.
1t is to be hoped that some means can
be found by which the Santa F'e, Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Rock ISL
and routes can arrange to build a union
depot here. The Union Pacific and San
ia F'e have both decided to spend about
$4,000 apiece in improving their depots.
If this money could be utilized in build
ing a union depot, at or near the site
of the present Rock Island depot, it
would be one of the best things that
ever happened to Topeka

overjoyed at Being Permitted to
Breathe Without Them.

New York Jan. 30-Terry McGovern
has had the silver tubes removed from
his nose which he has been breathing
through since his nose was operated on
a few weeks ago.
The little fighter, after a call ON DR.
Crump, at the Hahnemann hospital
learned that he could breathe without
the tubes in the day, but would have
to use them at night for at least
week.
McGovern was over5oyed at the glad
news and when DR.. Crump took out the
tubes he was as happy as a schoolboy.
Terry will have to visit DR.. Crump ev-
ter thinks by the next ten days McGov-
ern's nose will be well enough to allow
him to go through his course of hard
training, such as boxing and wrest-
ling.
