the action of Bishop Potter of New York
in opening a model saloon.

money which Judas flung back at the
priests was used by them to purchase The

Heard in Arkansas City.

of testimony for the plaintiff in the
irrigation suit of Kansas VS.. Colorado
ct al, was finished in this city late
Saturday. The court will meet again
today in Arkansas City Six days were
consumed in the Wichita hearing and
twenty-one witnesses were examined.
The defense proved that damage had
been done to the residents of the Ar
kansas vally by the diminution in the
flow of water in the river and by the
receding of the underfiow, but it did
not prove that these were the result
of the Colorado irrigationists divert
ing the water from its natural course.

Organization With a Capital of $1O,-
900 at Bunker Hill.

Bunker Hill, Aug. ga state bank
with a capital of $4,000 is being or
ganiZed here. Several of the leading
business men and farmers have sub
scribed the necessary stock. Several
years ago there was a bank here,
but the place wasn't large enough to
support it. Recent years business has
increased and the town has more than
doubled in population. In the last six
months several new residences have
been built, a 10000 bushel capacity
elevator has just been completed, and
a splendid telephone system added.
Bunker Hill is situated in Russell
county, and at one time was the IA
vored place for county seat, but Rus

it up.
