was on hand to tell the appraisers their
trouble, and not one was afraid to speak
MS mind.
Those who were not present in person
had attorneys on hand and some of the
statements made were ridiculous. Those
who lived in that section made a plain
statement of their cases and gave a rea-
sonahle value Of their property. and al
though they kicked about having to pay
for the opening of the street their state
ments were taken as facts. But some of
the attorneys were over-zealous 70 serve
their clients and made estimates of value
that made everybody laugh.
Some OF the people had good reason to
complain about the opening of the street
and allowing a railroad to come up it,

have to be built and with the road SO
close to the houses that section OF the
city will not be the fine residence section

while others will have to be moved a few
feet. In other instances the street will
cut several feet of the front yard or

praisers made a memorandum of all the
complaints and Will consider them ir

CASE FINALLY DECIDED.
Famous Suit Which Interested Odd
Fellows Settled.

A case that has absorbed the attention
OF every Odd Fellow in this city and in
fact the entire state. was finally decided
in Topeka yesterday. The Topeka Cap
ital says:
The supreme court yesterday denied a
motion for rehearing in the De Bots
sierre case. This vests the title OF the
De Boissiere Odd Fellows Orphans Home
property in Franklin county. in Trout
man & Stone of this city beyond question.
DE Boissiere was a Frenchmsn, who
attempted to start silk farm in Frank
lin county. Ii proved failure and he
decided the property 10 the Odd Fellows
for an orphans home with the condition
however. that the property would revert
to his heirs unless the ODD Fellows COM
piled with certain provisions regarding
the maintenance and management of the
property.
After his death, it is claimed. the Odd
Fellows violated the agreement, and his
sister sued for the recovery of the prop
erty. Troutman & Stone finally pur-
chased her interest and continued the
suit. Last month the supreme court de-
cided the suit in favor of Troutman &
Stone. The property is valued at about

GUS SAUR==G. Van WERDEN

| barely escaped with his life. He had been
sleeping in the shed at the rear and as
the night was cold he wrapped himself
in two or three heavy blankets when
he retired for the night. He heard moth
ing of the flames until the firemen turned
stream of water through a window.
Some OF the men about the barn thought
that possibly Mr.. Martin was sleeping
in the shed when they saw that it was
in flames and told the firemen. \ hose
was pushed through the window and
swept around the room and this woke the
speeping man. lie pushed the blankets
to one side and found the room fun of
smoke and the top and three sides mass
o flames. The cold water made him
thoroughly awake and he CROPPED his way
TO a window and crawled out. with his
clothing under his arm. 1t was very
narrow escape.
Immediately after the discovery of the
fire the men in Ferrells and Wards barns
on South Water street, the rear of these
buildings coming very close to the burn
ing barn. were awakened and lead the
horses out of the barns and tied them TO
trees and posts, out Of danger. The rear
OF the barns was scorched considerably.
but the firemen kept the flames from
spreading
Henry Daig lost some valuable papers
which were in his trunk in the barn and
also some money. Ed Gage lost $50 in
cash which was in his trousers pocket
He did not have time TO get his trousers
from the barn.
Mr.. Morgan and his employees were con-
graduating themselves yesterday because
none of the men were burned. Had it
not been for the man coming in and put
ting his horse away the men firmly be-
lieve that every one would have been
sunocated. The flames burned rapidly
in the hay and flied the room with
smoke. The men were almost suffocated
before they could reach the street. All
are sound sleepers and not one would
have heard the fire until it was too late.
The cause of the fire is unknown. 1t
started apparently in the southeast corner
of the haymow. Persons who say the
fire say that the top of the building was
one mass of flames before the lower
part caught. 1t is possible that the fire
was of incendiary origin, but this theory
is not given much credit by Mr.. Morgan
or Chief Walden. 1t is believed that the
fire started from a match or cigar stub
thrown in the hay. Many persons say
that people sleep in the hay unknown to
the employees of the barn. Many believe
that some one was sleeping in the barn
and when he heard the horse driven into
the barn got up and left the building.
He may have lighted a pipe or cigar and
a spark set the fire.
The total loss by fire will aggregate
over ten thousand dollars George o.
Morgan lost seven thousand dollars on
barn and stock. and Mr.. Hasl<ins lost
nearly two thousand dollars on his stock
and fixtures and the small losses sus-
tanned by several small buildings in the
immediate neighborhood will bring the to-
tai up to ten thousand dollars, and the
total amount of insurance is three thou
sand dollars

1. W. GILL
FOR MAYOR
Democrats Talk About Him as
a Canidate.
CONVENTION Is CALLED
To Make Nominations Next
Wednesday Morning.

/. w. Gill was mentioned as candi-
Wichita on the citizens ticket al the
meeting of Democrats last night. Sew
eral persons gave Mr.. GIL quite boom
for the position and others took it up and
applauded. The name Of John Miilhauot
was also mentioned as a possible candi-
date, but Mr.. Gilrs name was given
during a fight of Democratic oratory
and the audience thought it was good
thing and applauded accordingly.
The citizens central committee, all
Democrats, and few other Democrats
met in the hall over 233 Norm bid
street last night, and decided TO call a
citv convention TO nominate men for the
various city offices to be filled at the cleo
ton. This action was taken only after d
long and warm wrangle mixed with Dem
ocratic oratory. Some OF the men present
wanted the citizens central committee to
disband and the Democrats endorse some
other candidate who is now in the field.
This faction wanted to get up a petition
to place a ticket in the field.
But it was the old line Democrats, the
Democrats who are Democrats from the
ground up who could not see anything
good except in Democrats and Democrat
&c principles, that held the boilers. if
they may be called such, in check, and
finally secured the passage of the motion
that called the citizens central commit
tee to issue call for the convention
Some of the Oldest Democrats in the
city argued and worked for the disband-
ment of the central committee and to
have ticket placed in the field by petit
ton Some Of the other old timers could
not understand their action. Men VINO
have stood unequivocally on Democratic
principles worked for and voted to have
the party organization in Wichita thrown
away.
1t required two hours of oratory and
hot air to decide the question and the
substitute offered to disband the citizens
central committee was lost. The original
motion asking the committee to call for
primaries from 6 to o'clock Monday
evening and a convention to meet at &c
o'clock Wednesday morning and select
the nominees of the party for the cleo
ton this spring. was carried
Immediately after the meeting adjourn

the call for the primaries and convention
