Or. Redmond. a specialist in the study

he had ever seen OF tried in one respect.
and that was the instant relief eXperien-

from the moment the remedy was ap-

him because ne had carefully anaiyzed

Which Was Responsible for
Carrying Out a Contract?
JUDGE DALE TO DECIDE
Fight by Two Rich Men Over
Keeping of Cattle.

Judge Dale VIII render a decision in q
case Monday on which the results OF a
dozen other Ike cases depend The case
in whlch he Will hand down his decision
win be one entitled Harvey Grace. versus
Lloyd 3. FerdA The arguments TO
demurrer made by the plaintiff to the de-
fendants answer were argued yesterday
morning by 14mtdon and Comfy Tor the
plaintiff and T. 3. Wall for the defend
art
The case is a most interesting one.
Cattlemen are concerned and the weather
as governed by providence is q prime fac
ter. The two parties in this casa are very
wealthy and the fight is one OF principle
reinforced by Iegions OF gold.
The circums tances that led these two
rich men 70 become involved in a legal
battle commenced forming in 1901. Mr..
Grace made contrast with MI Ferrl.
hich provided that Fecril should take
between 80 and 800 cattle Of Graces and
keep them on his ranches IN Elk and
Greenwood counties OF this state. NJ.
Ferril took the cattle and put them on his
ranches for the season. 1t viii be re-
membered that the fall of 1901 was terri
bly, dry. Cities all over the state SUI
fered from lack Of sufficient water. Ponds
dried up and the cattle suffered. The
latter suffered not only from the lack OF
water but the feeding was not good.
SO. it is alleged by Mr. Grace his cat
tie IN the care Of Afr. Ferrel came off
a.
ton. He thereupon sued Ferril for $500
damages alleged TO have been done his
cattle through the negligence Of the lat
ter or his employees 10 give them good
pasture and plenty Of water as is alleged
was provided for in the contract.
IN arguing the case yesterday morning,
the defense declared that X could not be
held for not furnishing the cattle taken
&c keep plenty OF good pasture and plenty
OF water for there was none. God al
mighty had not blessed Kansas that seas
on with water and therefore how could
Mortal man be expected 10 supply that
which the All Powerful Himself had not
done. 1t was shown that the supreme
court Of this state has never passed on
this kind Of a case
Plaintiffs in argument declared that no
body but Ferrel himself could be held re-
sPonsible for not carrying cut his part of
the contract. They cited several opinions
by supreme courts of other states show
ing that If the Mighty Ruler was 70 be
taken into account in these matters, it
should be stated in the contract. which
vas not done IN this contract so alleged
the plaintiff.
The decision of Judge Dale VII be look
ed for by many for it decides a question
that enters into nearly every contract |
made.

GAS WAS FOUND
AT MULVANE
Small Flow Discovered on
Farm of w. H. HoIeSter.
MAY BE MARSH GAS
Pocket of Which Was Tapped
by Well Beers.
MAY BE MARSH GAS

Gas has been discovered one and one
half miles east Of Mulvane. on the farm
OF ". H. HOLSTER That is, some kind
of gas has been found II burns. II may
be marsh gas or it may be that pocket
Of natural gas has been tapped. The
gas is more likely OF the former nature.
Marsh gas has been found in this sec
ton Of the state number of times It
would burn a few hours and then go ont.
This gas burned all day yesterday and
was stopped last night. but will be again
touched OF today.
On the farm OF Mr.. HOLSTER workmen
have been boring a well They dug
large opening. seine ten OF twelve feet
deep, and then began boring a two-inch
hole. They reached a depth OF seventy
feet, when a strong odor OF gas was no
siced about the well. George HOLSTER
climbed down into the well and touched
q match TO the gas, which exploded and
burned his face and hands quite severely.
The gas burns to the height Of three
feet above the ground, and all day yes
terday the stream OF fire kept running.
Quite number of Mulvane people went
out to see the well and last night
big crowd saw the fire. The pipe was
plugged up late in the evening and viii
not be opened until this morning.
The flow of gas IS very light, as IS in
dicated By the slight distance the flame
burns above the ground. II 1t is natural
gas the flow should be greatly increased
when the well is shot" or IL bored 70
a greater depth. The gas would burn
Cor days II It is the real article. while If
marsh gas the flame will die out in
few days. The gas was found so close 10
the top Of the ground that many people
are loath TO believe IL is anything more
than marsh gas, a pocket OF which was
tapped during the boring of the well
The work Of finding whether this is
the real thing or not viii be continued
and the people Of this city VIII watch
the explorations closely, as the discovery
of gas within twenty miles Of Wichita
II in sufficient c.AEtities. viii be of the
utmost importance 10 the city's business
and manufacturing interests.
