THEY WANT ROBSON.
Cattlemen Would Make Him
Railroad Commissioner.

The Cattlemen's association of Lyon
county have taken the initiative in
pushing forward a shipper for a place
on the state board of railroad commits
sioneIs. The association has endorsed
J. w. Robson Of FL Dorado. who is
president of the state Cattlemen's as
SOciation.
The cattlemen of the state will act
with the state federation of commercial
interests in supporting men who are ia
Vorable to the shipping interests as can
didates for railroad commissioners on
all party tickets The federation will
take a hand in politics to that extent,
and the cattlemen will probably be Civ
en- one of the three candidates
The resolution passed by the Lyon
county cattlemen. was introduced by
George Plumb, who is secretary of the
has had small boom for railroad COM
missioner himself. This is taken to in
dictate that Plumb will not stand for his
own boom.
The resolution adopted by the Lyon
County association was as follows:
Whereas. The live stock interests of
the state OF Kansas in the past have
lacked organization and concert of ac-
ton. and
Whereas, The railroads have had in
sufficient and incorrect information re-
garGing the best interests OF the live
stock shippers, and believing that the
interests of the railroads and the ship
pers should be mutual. therefore IN view
of these facts we deem it of the utmost
importance that some man who IS iden
tilted with. and has a thorough lknowl-
edge of the live stock interests of this
state should be made a member of the
board of railroad commissioners, it is
hereby
Resolved. That this organizat ton re-
quest J. W. Robson, of FL Dorado. 10
become an active candidate for railroad
commissioner and we hereby pledge
him our hearty support
The election of Robson on the rail-
road board would give the Fourth dis
trict another state officer, and it IS en-
titled to at least one more. At present
it has only one. Justice Cunning nam of
the supreme court. who will be up for
denomination next year. The Fourth
district will make a strong play for one
of the places on tne railroad commits
sion.
Commenting on the endorsement Of
Robson the Emporia Gazette says.
This action will be approved by the
people of Lyon county generally. J. W.
Robson has been resident of Kansas
for twenty-five years: he is upright and
honest. He knows the cattle business
and he knows the relations between the
farmers and the railroads and the equl-
ties of those relations. He is for the
people but he will be fair to the rail-
roads as he will be to the people in his
decisions The writer hereof asked
Paul Morton recently what he thought
of J. w. Robson as q candidate for rail-
road commissioner and Mr. Morton
said: j. ". Robson is fair man. an

TO PLAY LAWRENCE.
Kansas-Nebraska Football Game Not
Likely to Go to z. c.

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 9.-The students
and faculty of the University of KAN
sas have pledged about $500 in tickets
for the Kansas Nebraska game already,
and the movement is only twenty-four
hours old. There will probably be no
trouble in getting the $500 student crowd
assured and it is safe to say that the
big game will be played on McCook
field instead of in Kansas City. There
will be considerable expense in fixing up
seats and making repairs about the
grounds to accommodate the crowd, but
it is thought that if a $500 student
crowd turns out. there will be enough
money taken in outside to pay for the
improvements and the athletic associa-
ton will be that much ahead.
Coach Weeks is very much pleased
with the practice of the past week. He
says the men are playing together better
and that the game Saturday will be a
much faster one than the Jayha wkers
played last Saturday.
There will be no scrimmage work be-
fore the Normal game. Boss Weeks
will have the usual signal practice and
then the Jayhawkers will be in shape
for their third game of the season. All
the players are in good condition with
the exception OF Griggs, who has a
broken finger -fF-

BOTH FREE MEN,.
Neil and Peterson Acquitted of
Murder.
Jury Returns a Verdict at 2 $50
This Morning.
WAS ALL ONE WAY.
Stood IL to l Almost from the
Start.
The DiSsenter Was Brought
Over Early This Morning.
WAS ALL ONE WAY.

The jury in the district court. after
being out over Il hours. returned a
verdict finding Earl Neil and J. w.
Peterson not guilty of the death of
Amos B. l. Maxwell a patient at the
state insane asylum.
The arguments were finished and the
ease went to the jury in the district
court at two o'clock Thursday after
noon. The verdict was returned at 2:30
o'clock this morning.
1t is understood that from almost the
drst ballot the jury stood IL for acquit-
tai and one for conviction on a charge
sf manslaughter.
The opinion among the lawyers who
heard the trial was that the defendants
would either be acquitted or found
guilty of manslaughter in the fourth
degree. the lowest degree possible. The
general opinion was that the trial
would end in an acquittal.
About the only positively incrim-
mating testimony against the men was
that of r. H. Farrar the insane asylum
gardener who testified that he saw Neil
and Peterson stamp and kick Maxwell
after the patient had fallen to the
floor.
The defense discredited the testimony
by attempting to show that Farrar had
sone slight misunderstanding with Neil
and Peterson and that some angry
words were passed between them.
While this was not clearly established.
Ct aided the defense.
In esta blishing the case for the de-
Tense a large number of affidavits by
ministers, physicians, business men, the
mayor, postmaster and others of
Sloan Springs, Ark, were submitted
TO prove that Earl NeiTs reputation
was good. Aff1davits from Geneseo
Kas.. were submitted to establish the
good standing of Peterson in his home
town. None of these were discredited
The testimony for the prosecution
was that the body of Maxwell was ter
ribly bruised and that the bones were
broken. Neil and Peterson were
charged with inf1icting the bruises and
breaking the bones of the body. Both
Peterson and Neil are quiet, calm look
ing young men, and neither has the APP
pearance of having any unusual
