WILL PIPE OUT THEIR OIL.
Big Production of Neodesha Field
Necessitates Pipe Line.

Chanute. Kan. April 15.@The
Standard Oil company's Kansas
branch at Neodesha in the regular
monthly report of operations in the
Kansas field gives the total pipe line
run for March as 33S, 273.S4 barrels
of oil, an average of 1O,912.06 bar
rels a day. OF this about six-tenths
is. North Neodesha oil and the balance
South Neodesha. This is a slight in
crease over the last months runs, but
is far short of what it would have
been had the Standard been able to
care for all the oil.
The Standards refinery at Neodesha
has twice been increased in capacity
during the year past but the great
amount of development going on con-
stantly has swamped the market
again. The Standards last move to
relieve the surplus of oil in the field
is the building of an immense re-
fnery at Kansas City, Mo, to be near
ly a duplicate of the Whiting, Ind,
plant, the largest in the world. Con-
struction on this immense plant has
already been commenced and a con
structiOn company also formed to
build a railroad from the refinery to
Kansas City, a distance of twenty
miles. The pipe line connecting the
Chanute and adjacent fields with tn e
new refinery is now being laid out and
along the route the Standard has al
ready commenced the purchase of
small eighty acre farms at proper dis
tances apart to be used as tank farms
and substations for pumping the oil.
The distance from the Chanute field
to the Kansas City refinery is 12S
miles. This pipe line, it is said I'M

FINALLY COUGHS IT UP
Caused Loss of Memory and a
Serious Illness.
Receivers $I,354.54 Accident
Insurance by Snit.

Kansas City, Kan, April 15.-Ezekial
Barnes has been given a verdict by a
jury in the common pleas court here
for $1,354. "a against the Order of Uni
ted Commercial Travellers for illness
resulting from swallowing a pin.
Barnes attorneys represented that The
sickness was the result of accident and
that therefore he is entitled to insur-
ance money from the time he was in
jured to the present time at the rate of
$50 week, as provided in his policy.
The insurance company contested pay
ment on the ground that it was re-
leased from liability on account OF
Barnes own carelessness
The case is one of the most unique
that has ever been tried in the courts
OF this city. Barnes attorneys brought
witnesses to show that on July %,
1902, while eating a meal, he was taken
suddenly i'll. In August of the same
year his memory left him and he was
compelled to give up his position as
city salesman for the Great Western
Grocery company at which he earned
$4,000 year. Barnes witnesses tesIi-
fed that from that date until SepteTn-
Der 20 1902, he was treated by several
different physicians all of whom were
baftied by his case. He was given
medicine for nearly every disease on
the calendar including blood poison
indigestion, weak heart, and nervous
ever, told their patient that he might
be suffering from some foreign sub
stance in the stomach and one or two
of them suggested an operation but
Barnes wife would not consent to this.
Finally, however, he threw up a pin
which was found to be covered with a
membrane except at the point. This
was produced in court as evidence.
When Barnes became conscious of this
he suggested that he should be enti-
tied to accident insurance and the de-
mand was made upon the Order of
United Commercial Travellers, but it
was turned down.
One of Barnes attorneys, Judge
Winfield Freeman, says that he is still
unable to work as a result of the ac-
cident and that his power of memory
of past events is still gone. On -ac-
count of this lack of memory Barnes
was not placed on the witness stand
to testify in his own behalf. Barnes
was insured in the Order of United
Commercial Travellers in 1897 In case
of death he would receive $4,000 and $25
each week for a period of 81 weeks in
the event of an accident which in
capacitated him from work.
