FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Negro Woman Suing Mercer Furni,
ture Company in City Court.

Negro Woman Suing Mercer Furni.
ture Company In City Court.
The case of Emma Wood against .he
Mercer Furniture Company was on
trial in the City Court. before Judge
Norwood and a jury, all of yesterday
and until II o'clock at night. At that
hour Judge Norwood, recalling the say
ing of Sancho Panza: God bless the
man who first invented sleep" COM
mended the saying to the jurymen and
relieved them until this morning.
The plaintiff is suing for 81, 900 dam
ages for false Imprisonment. She was
arrested by virtue of a warrant sworn
out by I. S. Mercer, the company's
manager, which charged her with the
larceny of furniture sold by it to an
other person, was hauled through the
streets of the city by the constable,
kept in the magistrates office for six
hours and forced to give bond to an
swer the accusation made against her
honesty and good name.
The plaintiff is a colored woman, but
apparently a respectable one, and DR..
G. w. Heriot, for whom she has been
working for six years, said that her
character, in all respects is of the best.
The Mercer Company contended that
the furniture had been moved from
place to place by the woman to whom
it was sold, that it had good reason
to believe the plaintiff was a partici-
pant in the attempted theft, that it act
ed enirely without malice and only to
protect it's interests.
Arguments We're made by Mr.. D. C.
Barrow and Mr.. Raiford Falligant for
the plaintiff and Mr.. r. M. Hitch for
the furniture company. At IL o'clock
Judge Norwood announced he would
continue the case until this morning
and would charge the jury at $3.50
o'clock.

ON BUFFALO MOUND.
Topeka Visitor Writes of Trip to Fa-
nous Elevation.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
IS One of the many pleasant diversions
at the Maple Hill camping grounds is a
boat ride up to Buffalo Mound. A party
composed of Topeka and Maple Hill
people made a delightful trip Sunday
to this interesting mound.
We walked about a mile from camp
to reach our boat, even after that hav-
ing a good long mile and a half ride
before us. We took our dinners with
US, for we knew that, although we had
started at half-past eleven, we would
not get back much before seven We
stopped now and then to pick wild
grapes hanging in clusters over the
creek; to fill our jug with water: to
STAY frog here and there on the bank
and to peer into the fragrant dinner
baskets; and, in spite of our having
made many stops. we reached the
foot of the mound at two and set out
our lunch, and right here SO many
things went against us. First, one OF
the party saw a water moccasin coiled
on a rock above the bank and straight
way threw a rock at it. The snake
made a direct line for the water and
barely escaped running right under
one of the girls clothing. Then another
of the girls, in her efforts to find suit
a bile fiat rock to sit on, threw stone
against the water jug and sent it crash
ing down the hill. One of the loaves of
beef went rolling down; the pickles
were tipped over; lemonade spilled; in
fact, we began to think we would
either have to go without our dinner or
would have to eat it at the foot of the
hill. After having waited an hour at
the most for water to drink, we ate and
then started for the mound on foot.
We were unable to go any further by
boat.
The view around the country from the
mound is lovely-the different shades
of green, the richness of the titled
ground, the slopes of the surrounding
hills resembling vast pyramids, the
cows moving like snails. OF to the
east, we saw, through a blue mist, the
state house DOME We sat on the hot
stones and engraved our names on
pieces of wood and rocks and looked for
other names with which we might be
familiar.
We rode back in the stiffness of the
evening-the sun was setting; the air
was cool-all lending a subdued charm
in contrast with the Sterner beauty of
the mound. We were cool and rested
when we came to the Falls, our landing
place.
We feel that this little trip will al
ways be foremost in our pleasant
memories of Maple Hill

and whose whereabouts he has asked
our genial chief of police to help him
ascertain.
"A woman called at the police station
Sunday and asked concerning the letter
which the superintendent had received
from the Kansas man. The super1n-
tendent told the woman that the letter
was private one, but that he was will
ing to answer any questions that she
might see fit to ask
:. I saw the story in the Sum- she said,
and was forced to believe that the
girl was my niece The description tall
lied very closely, and I was always OF
the opinion that she was corresponding
with some rich man whom she mad
never Seen.'
1--WE have a photograph of the wo-
man whom the wealthy farmer is seek
ing said the superintendent, and will
show it to you if you wish.
g I would like to see it, was the mild
reply.
1.-The photograph was produced and
the woman saw at a glance that it was
not her niece.
THE young woman who is RESPONSE
BILE for swapping a road into the SYM
pathetic Journal of the Kansan's heart
works told him that she roomed near
the Western Union Telegraph office in
Central street.
He had received notice from the
postoffice authorities in thiB city, how
ever, that the last dozen or so of his
letters remained in the postoffice here
uncalled for, and in the darkness of his
distress he turned to the head of our
police department for assistance.
That the man is in earnest can
hardly be doubted. She is my prom
ised BRIDE he says in the letter, and he
also states that he has not in any way
misrepresented himself or his property
to the girl, who by her pretty speeches
and pretended earnestness won the old
mans heart. He gives bank upon bank
for reference as to his financial stand
ing and as to character he is willing to
stake his wealth that it is unsullied as
a May flower.
Although there is considerable of the
every day newspaper romance reflected
in this story, there still remains the fact
that this young woman did commune
cate with the man in the west She did
succeed in making him believe that she
was in earnest; she even went so far
as to tell him that she cared not for
his millions; that all she sought was the
love of a good, true man.
He believed what she said and in re-
Spouse to her cooling he told her of a
heart that was pining for true affection.
He told her that he knew she was his
affinity and that he was willing to law
ish his wealth as well as his love upon
her"
