FALLING AN iNCH AN HOUR
River at Topeka Nine Feet Below
HiQhest Point.

Topeka. Kan, June 6.-The river is
nine feet below the highest recorded
point, the water having fallen during
the night at the rate of an inch an
hour. The approaches to the Melan
bridge on Kansas avenue were com.
pleted early in the day and steady
stream of people, carrying shovels
and brooms, were soon on their way
to North Topeka to clean their homes
and stores. The water has receded
from the main business streets for a
distance of five blocks north of Cor
don street and has left an accumula-
tion of mud and slime that in some
cases is piled three and four feet high
along the fronts of stores and in many
of the buildings.
In spite of the most determined ef-
forts the water company has been un-
able as yet to force the water out over
the entire city.

Montgomery drove 10 the neare.s1
town on a gallop and there claimed
that they had been in a runaway an
his wifes neck was broken by a fall
out OF the buggy. His stories were SO
conflicting that he was placed under
arrest and held pending the coroner's
inquest
The testimony at the inquest was SO
overwhelmingly against Montgomery
and the sentiment heard expressed in
the courtroom of such a dangerous
character that the prisoner was taken
back to Jail before the examination
was concluded. An angry mob soon
began to gather around the front en-
trance to the Jail and then the au-
thorities sneaked their prisoner out Of
a back door and reached westbOund
freight train with the intention of
taking the prisoner to Sparta. Latest
reports received were that the mob
was following the train.

SECOND MERGER SUIT.
Stale Of Minnesota Against Northern
Securities Company.

S~S~s's'~S OS'F~'J'
St. Paul, June 6.-The case of the
state of Minnesota against the North
ern Securities company came up for
trial during the morning in the Unit
ed States circuit court, Judge Loeb
rem presiding.
The important point of difference
between this suit and that of the fed
eral COVE nment against the same cor
poratiOn is that in the latter the
merger was alleged to have been Or
ganized in opposition to and defiance
of the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust act. The states case rests on
two statutes enacted by the legisla-
ture in 1874, 1881 and 1899, respective
ly, prohibiting the consolidation in
any manner of competing and parallel
lines of railway. and also prohibiting
the fcrmatD of any combination
which is in restraint of trade or COM
merce within the state or the restraint
of trade or commerce between this
and any other state.
Attorney General Douglas opened
the case for the state. The action
was described as a suit in equity to
restrain the Northern Securities com
pany from holding stock in either the
Northern Pacific or Great Northern
railroads, and to prevent either of
these roads recognizing the Northern
Securities company in any way in the
management of their lines: The com
plaint charged that the state owned
| 10000 900 acres of land and various
| institutions located on the right OF
way Of the two railroads, and. there
fore, the state had special interes
| in preserving competition betweel
! the two carriers.
