SUES FOR ROYALTY.
A Novel Question Raised in Chanute
Oil Leasing

Chanute. Kan, Dec. 23.-During the
February term of court Judge Stillwell
will be confronted with one of the most
delicate lease problems yet submitted to
the district court. The lease in question
is one held by the city, and the point
involved is whether a large tract, which
has been Sub-leaSed for development
purposes, should not be considered as Il
unit. The plaintiff is of the opinion that
it should and is asking that the city's
rights on the valuable tract be declared
forfeited The title of the case is Alex.
Mosier VS.. The City of Chanute and the
tiff has retained Attorney Shawhan to
force his interests.
According to the petition filed by the
first party with the clerk of the court
last week it appears that the Mosier
land north of town, comprising 800
acres, was leased by Fred Mosier, the
father, to the city, and by it sub-leased
to the Southwestern company. Later
Fred Mosier sold half of the farm to
the Chicago Crude and the other half,
the south 100, to his son, Alex. Mosier.
All development and improvements were
made on the upper half of the original
lease, leaving neither rental nor royalty
for the south half, now owned by the
son, Alex. It is the contention of the
plaintiff that the entire lease is a unit
and that Alex. Mosier is entitled to one
half of the royalty accruing from the
entire tract, amounting, during the past
three years, to about $4,000.

The red tape process of setting about
patching the ceiling in U. S. Marshal
Mackey's office at the federal building

eminent inspector has determined that
some of the plaStering has really
dropped off it is likely that he will re-
port favorably upon a proposition to
patch the hole.
Announcements of the programme for
the midwinter reunion of the Kansas

DYING AT AGE OFII2.
Only "Buckwheat Songs" Arouse
Woman of Three Centuries.

Greensburg, Pa, Dec. 23-Surrounded
by small company of neighbors, who
sing from time to time the old buck
wheat songs" Mrs. Leah Keith, who
claims to be 112 years old, is dying at
her home, near Grisemore, Indiana
county. Mrs. Keith is of Lancaster
county German extraction, and has
lived in Indiana county for so years. She
never saw a railroad train until four
years ago. In her young womanhood
she was a great lover of music and in
her home community was considered
quite an artist in the ''buckwheat'
notes. In recent years she has fallen
into a state of coma on a number of
occasions, and nothing will rouse her
except the singing of the "buckwheat
songs by her neighhors. Modern tunes
do not appeal to her.
Mrs. Keith says she was % years old
when her Oldest son, Peter, was born.
Peter was killed in the Civil war in
1863 at the age of so years Mrs. Keith
