SHE GETS HER CHILD.
Mrs. Stelting, the Mother, WINS the
Habeas Corpus Case.

In the district court this morning
Judge Hazen gave Mrs. Justina Stelt-
ing the custody of her child, who
has been in the possession of Mrs
Kate Kistler, who lives on the Null
vane ranch west of North Topeka.
Mrs. Kistler wished to adopt the
child and thought she had legal
right to little Katie. Mrs. Settling,
however, declined to give up posses
sion of the child, and as there was
no written agreement between the
parties Judge Hazen gave the child
to the mother.
Ten days ago Mrs. Kate KistIer
brought a habeas corpus suit against
Mrs. Stelting for the possession of the
child. Mrs. Stelting she said had fore
IDLY taken the child from her while
she was in a buggy in front of Mrs
Settings residence at S14 State
street
When the case was called this
morning it was disposed of in short
order, as Judge Hazen decided that
the only question was whether there
was written agreement between Mrs.
Settling and Mrs. Kistler that the
child should be adopted, and as there
was not he gave the child to the
mother.
Mrs. Kistler cried when the child
left the court house with her mother.

State Accountant Rowett has just

work and the products of which are
used towards feeding the prisoners

WHY NOT FIX THE ROOF?
The Santa Fe FIange Burner Again
Starts q Fire.

One of these days the Santa Fe shop
officials will perhaps get tired of call
ing out their fire department to save
the blacksmith shops, and will fix the
roof so that it will not take fire from
the overheated furnace of the hange
burner.
Probably very few people know
what a fiange burner is. No attempt
will be made to describe it just at this
time, because whenever you meet a
fiange burner on the street you are al
most certain to recognize it. It is hot
stuff For the fourth time, the f1ange
burner set fire to the blacksmith shop
this morning. The last time prior to
this was about a week ago, when the
Santa Fe department extnguished the
blaze with small loss, using only one
stream of water. The fire at $3.50 this
morning was subdued in exactly the
same manner. The damage to the
roof of the building was small.
