MILLION DOLLAR
SUIT is DECIDED
Indians Heirs Win Fight
for Valuable Kansas City
Property.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March IA
jury in the case of Annie B. Wood and
other heirs of Silas Armstrong, an In
dian, to recover Missouri river bottom
land in Kansas City, Kan, valued at
$1,0O0,0OO and occupied by large pack
ing houses, railways and others, has
returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiffs.
The attorneys for the defense have
filed notice of appeal. In all there
were forty plaintiffs and ten defend
ants. The tract of land containing
nearly eighty-five acres and originally
belonged to Silas Armstrong, a Wyan-
dotte Indian, but according to the
jury's verdict was an island from 1867
until 1891
The contention in the suit hinged on
a change in the channel of the Mis-
souri, river in 1857, just before Arm
strong had transferred his property.
The property transferred extended to
the bank of the river, but that year the
channel of the river had changed sew
to the time of the big Saratoga meet
cut off from the tract was not sold, but
in the course of time the river re-
formed and ran in it's old channel.
After it came back to its former chan
mel the portion in litigation and the
main body were again connected
The defendant companies began to
extend their industries on what had
been an island, claiming it as an ac-
cretion, but the heirs of Armstrong
stepped in and claimed that the COM
panies had no right to it. The suit
was filed in 1900.

SLOW to take advantage of this situa-
ton, it is said, and, believing that the
house is at their mercy, they are In
s1Sung on propositions which the
house conferees say they would be
forced to abandon If the house could
be appealed to to uphold the hands of
It's representatives.
d The house of representatives. held a
four-hour session today and put the
District of Columbia appropriation bin
through It's last parliamentary stage
in the face Of the Democratic filibus-
ter. The previous question on the con-
ference report on the Alaskan home
its adoption will be taken when the
house reconvenes at II o'clock tomor-
row. That was the net result of the
Sunday session. Although it was Sun
day by the calendar it was still Thurs
day, Feb. 26, according to parliamen~
tary fiction. The Democrats put
block in the Legislative wheel at every
opportunity, and it required six roll
calls to accomplish what was done
today. Large crowds watched the pro-
ceedtngs from the galleries. When
Speaker Henderson dropped the gavel
at noon Richardson. the minority
leader was on his feet. He announced
llieiI lISlS was cNIOellly UO
present, and that the house could not
do business on Sunday without a quo
rum. Therefore, upon motion of Mr..
Payne, the majority floor leader, roll
call was ordered. The doors were
closed, and the sergeant-at-arms was
instructed to bring in absentees. Al
the conclusion of the roll 241 members
had appeared-more than a quorum
and Mr.. McCleary (Minn.) called up
the conference report upon the District
OF Columbia appropriation bill. Mr..
Underwood (Ala.) attempted to in
terpose the point of order that the roll
call had not been completed, but the
speaker ruled that a quorum having
appeared business could proceed.
The doors were again closed by di-
rection Of the speaker, on Mr. Under
woods point Of order that further pro-
ceedings under this call had not been
dispensed with by the actions of the
house. After a brief explanation of the
report, against the protest of various
Democrats who wished to be heard, 1t
was adopted. There was another roll
call on ordering the previous question
on the Alaskan homestead law, which
was presented by Mr.. Lacey Qowa).
A half dozen points of order raised
were ruled out, and the chair declined
TO entertain all appeals on the ground
that they were diiatory. At :55 p. m.
the house recessed until II o'clock to-
morrow, with the motion to adopt the
conference report on the Alaskan bill
pending.

company and the men regard the con-
tract as satisfactory in every way. We
are much gratified over the satisfac-
tory termination of the negotiations
Our road was at all times ready to
grant a reasonable increase In wages
and the only contention was over the
amount. The organizations held out
for 20 per cent increase and abolish
ment of the double-header system.
Hence the settlement will be seen to
be in the nature of a compromise"
