in a Wrongful Manner.

New York, Jan. 12-James Donohue,
a packer by trade. has been arrested
charged with swindling. The claim has
been made that Donohue has taken adj

stock, affixed a steamship tag and for
warded it. He had no difficulty in col

package seemed a guarantee for it's
value and acceptance at the other end.

thereby escaping taxation. 1t was claimed
that some Of the big cattle counties suf-

defeat the bill.
At present Wyandotte county is in
cluded in the Topeka division of the
United States district court and when
ever Kansas City, Kan, has case for
the federal court it is filed here at To-
peka and is tried either here or at
LeaVenworth. Under the proposed bill
it is claimed the headquarters of the
second division of the district court
would be moved from Fort Scott to
Kansas City, Kan. and Wyandotte
county would be put into that division.
All the southern Kansas cases would
then have to be taken to Kansas City
to be filed. Now they go to Fort Scott
and it is considerable Importance to
that town to keep the court there.
The federal court business of Wyan-
dotte county is greater than tnat OF
any other county in the state. When

J. l. Sheppard will use his influence
with CONGRESSMAN Jackson the Demo-

ton hold it up in the senate, and that
is where Fort Scott has the strongest
hope of defeating it.
