leg1ng breach OF promise and seeking
to recover $4,000 damages.
The news of this action will not be
entirely a surprise to the public for
the reason that it had been rumored
for some time past that Mrs. Phelps
contemplated the suit The papers
were seeted on Oct. 8 by Attorney
Taylor, for the plaintiff, at Bismarck,
N. D., where Mr. Patterson has just
started new wholesale grocery house.
Attorney Pfau, for the defense, has
been in Bismarck for several days past
consulting Mr.. Patterson. 1t is ex-
pected that on his return a move will
be made to set aside the service made
by Attorney Taylor on the ground Of
illegality, it being held that service
upon a resident of Minnesota in anoth-
er state is void.
Mrs. Phelps, the plaintiff, is hand
some lady, refined and highly cultivat-
ed, with a host of friends. She has
been a widow a number of years. Mr..
Patterson went to California last De-
cember to spend the winter. While at
Los Angeles he fell in love and was
married early in the spring to a charm
ing widow of Los Angeles, and both
are now at Bismarck.
Mr.Patterson is well known through
out the Northwest. He is at the head
of the largest wholesale grocery house
in Southern Minnesota, and director
of the National Citizens bank, and is
considered very wealthy.

DRAGS FOR 30 YEARS.
Old Suit of Senator Allen Reaches
Supreme Court.

The suit of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad company against ex-
State Senator r. N. Allen over the pos
of Chanute has reached the supreme
court There has been more or less
litigation over it for the last thirty
years. Allen has been winning hereto
fore and the railroad company files the
appeal in the supreme court today.
There are number of lots in the
property which the railroad company
claimed were for trackage purposes,
and that they were included In the as
sessment made by the state board of
railroad commissioners. The city of
Chanute claimed that they were not
used for tracks and were therefore LA
BILE to assessment by the city. The rail-
road company did not pay the taxes
assessed by the city and the property
was sold for taxes and bought in by
Allen. That was years ago, and the
railroad company has revived its claim
to the lots,

IRA HENRY IS FREED.
Topeka Man Pard0ned Because
of Condition of His Mind.

Dispatches received in Topeka last
night from Albuquerque say that Ira
F. Henry, formerly an employee of the
Santa Fe at this place. who was sent to
the New Mexico territorial prison on the
charge of burglary about q year ago
mas been pardoned by Governor Otero
A year ago last November Henry was
convicted of burglarizing several resi-
dences in Albuquerque, and at the same
time was arrested on the charge of in
fanticide. The evidence on the second
charge does not seem to have been Suf-
fclent TO convict but ON his own confess
sion OF burglary he was sentenced to
two years incarceration at Santa Fe.
Henry was a machinist at the Santa
was struck on the head with a sledse
from the effects of which it is claimed
he never recovered. In the latter part
of the summer of 1900 he was married
to Miss Zoa Fink and the couple left
shortly afterward for Albuquerque His
name was connected with infanticide
early that winter. but about the same
time arrest ON the other charges fol-
lowed and conviction resulted.
Since his imprisonment his wife has
been employed in private sanitarium
at Albuquerque. She was in Topeka for
d brief visit with her parents last sum-
mer and at that time expressed the be-
lief that her husband was of unsouud
mind.
Upon the petition of many influential
people, among them General Manager
A. G.. Wells of the Santa Fe western
lines, Governor Otero granted a pardon
and Henry has been freed. He was in
at last report, but is ex-
pected to arrive here in a short time.

SOUTH STORM SWEPT.
Heavy Rains, High Winds and
Much Damage to Property.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 28.-The southeast
ern gulf coast states have been deluged
by rain. The precipitation was very
heavy and at Columbus, Ga, a bridge
was swept away. The rain fall there
was almost cloud burst. the Chatta-
hoochie river rising at the rate of two
feet an hour. Several washouts were re-
ported on a number of roads and trains
out of Columbus were annulled. There
has been no loss of life
The Columbus bridge broke in two
about a hundred feet from the Georgia
shore and was swept down stream at a
frightful pace. Just four and a half
blocks below it is the other bridge which
crosses to Girard, Ala. and 1t would
have been carried away had not the fall
over the Eagle and Phoenix dam de-
molished the floating bridge before IT
reached it. The electric light and tele-
phone wires running over to Phoenix
City and Girard went across the bridge
and they were snapped like threads.
The water pipes which supplied the city
We're broken like sticks and carried
away, leaving the city without water
for time. The water company has an
old submerged main across the river
and this was placed in commission saw
ing the city from water famine.
A waShout near Seal. Ala, holds the
Mobile & Girard passenger train and the
departing train on that road was an
nulled.
There are several washouts on the
Seaboard Air Line between here and
Albany, Ala, which stops traffic on that
line Several washouts are reported On
the Southern between here and Shiloh.
There is a large washout on the South
ern railway in Columbus City limits
After an intermittent rain of 20 days
birmingham was deluged. The rain
flooded the streets and many awnings
and street signs were torn away Flood
ed tracks are interfering seriously with
street railway traffic, and the rainfall
had not ceased. All streams are SWol-
len and rapidly rising.
The total rainfall in Montgomery, Ala.
was As inches and a heavy downpour is
reported in other points of Alabama
The barometer recorded %. %, the lowest
reading on record in that city.
The excessive rainfall has caused n
rapid rise in the Coosa and Alabama
rivers The director of the weather bu-
reau has issued warnings for points be-
low Wetumpka, and advised that stock
be removed from lands subject to over
flow at a 35 foot stage.
At First Point, Ga, the merchants arc
busy removing goods from stores 10

barometer was the lowest ever recorded.
In the southwestern section of this
state thes rain and wind storm almost
attained the proportions of tornado

HOSSFELD ARRESTED.
He Is Charged With Violating Quar-

George V. Hossfeld. who is charged
with violating quarantine regulations
went to the police station today in re-
Spouse to a telephone message, where
warrant for his arrest had been issued
on complaint of City Physician Judd.
The hearing is set for p. M today.
Mr.. HossfeId says: Il will engage at
torneyS and fight this case to a finish.
j will make it hot for DR.. Judd before
1 am done. l have violated no cuaran-
tine regulations, and can prove it. I
have engaged DIR. J. p. Lewis to visit
my children today, and find out whether
or not they are sick with scarlet fe-
YER"
If it turns out that City Physician
Judd had no good grounds for institut-
ing the quarantine, and having Mr..
Hossfeld arrested, it is likely that suit
for damages against the city ana
against DIR. Judd will be commenced by
Mr.. HOSSfeld.

BONDS ARE WANTED.
Many Letters of Inquiry About Topeka
Securities.

There appears to be a brisk market
for Topeka city bonds now. Seven let
tiers asking information about the issue
of $65, 900 Improvement bonds have been
received from bond buyers by the city
clerk All of the buyers express a de-
sire to- bid on the issue
The peculiar part of it is that the only
place where this issue of $65. 900 has
been advertised is in the Topeka news
papers. The financial papers received
information of the issue through the
Topeka papers. and published items
about it, In this way the bond buyers
in all parts of the country were notified
of the issue.
Mayor Parker says that he thinks the
Improvement bonds will command
enough premium to pay all the expenses
incidental to the printing and issuing.
And yet the Improvement bonds are
paid Off in ten annual inStallmentS,
while the Santa Fe shop bonds, which
were a drug on the market some months
ago. ran uninterrupted for 20 years.
