THE DE BoIssIERE CASE.
Usage County Give Decisions Against
the Odd Fellows.

the Odd Fellows.
Lyndon, Kan, July 1.-Troutman &
Stone won two more points in Thurs
days hearing. 1t will be remembered
that County Attorney Pleasant, of
Franklin county, and Bale Waggener,
of Atchison, commenced suit against
Troutman & Stone to declare a forfeit
ture of the DeBoissiere estate under
the alien land law. In addition to ask
ing that the land be declared forfeited,
they alleged fraud in the procurement
of the deed by Troutman & stone, and
asked for judgment for $4,000 and rent
Troutman & Stone filed a motion to
strike out of the petition all of the
allegations of fraud and the claim for
rent. This motion was submitted in
March, and was sustained by Judge
Heller.
This is decisive as to the rent PROPOSE
ton, but leaves the action pending on
the naked proposition as to whether
the property can be forfeited under the
allen land law passed in 1891 and re-
pealed in 1901. This will come up at
the fall term of court
Another action was commenced in the
district court of Franklin county by
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows, asking
Stone for SAT, 000 which the grand lodge
claims to have paid for improvements,
etc A demurrer was filed to the petit
ton in this case and sustained by Judge
Heller. This is decisive of that PROPOSE
ton so far as the district court is con-
defeat suffered by the Odd Fellows
upon this same claim. 1t was presented
and knocked out by the probate court
of Franklin county. Then the grand
lodge interviewed in the federal court
and Judge Philips decided that they
could not maintain their action there.
The grand lodge will have the costs
of these proceedings to pay.

game was given to lola by his royal higt1-

The score, forgetting Rea gan, was to .
in Iola's favor in the seventh, when the
trouble started. A ball had been hit I'M

had started for home. Some one pushed
the ball back inside and Archie was
ager Gates. He protested the decision,
but Gar Reagan ordered him from the
grounds. Gates wasn't bluffed as easily
was Manager Baldwin and stayed in
side. Thus Reagan gave the game to lola.
The fans were with Gates and it looked
for a while as if Reagan was a small

Where they play Saturday:

LeavenWorth. at Pittsburg.

Since the Topeka team has taken
such an awful slump, a great deal of
criticism has been heaped upon the
management for permitting such a
condition of things to exist, and for not
at once beginning a system of whole
sale firing" and signing of new play
ers. There are several reasons why
radical series of revisions are not being
put into effect, and their exploitation
is due to the baseball management. At
ter Gus Alberts had been tried for six
weeks 1t was thought by the manage
ment that good player-manage
should be obtained. Consequently Al
bertS was sent the long way. Just at
that time, however, interest became
worked up in the scheme of building
new park Subscriptions were solicited
and at the present time $500 is ready
to be applied on the new field which
completed will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 500. Inasmuch as it now
seems possible to get the new park the
management feels that it would be
best to strain every nerve toward get
ting the necessary amount of money.
If Sunday ball is started and kept up
it will mean putting the association on
a solid financial footing. Then it will
be possible to get and pay good play
erS and make strong team, without
having to worry each month about the
salaries. Weekday games in Topeka
mean nothing but a neck and neck
race between the debit and credit side
of the ledger, with the former usually
a nose ahead. Without Sunday ball the
project won't work in this city. With
Sunday ball it will be easy to get a
strong team. The thing the manage
ment is now trying to do is raise the
necessary $500 to build the new park
outside of the city limits where no one
will be disturbed. President Sheard
and Secretary Logan get nothing for
all their work. They toll along and
worry over the thing in order to keep
it's head above water Instead of knock
ing on them for a better team, the fans
of the city should get together and help
build the new park, and then matters
will take a different turn. These are
facts in this paragraph and are worth
thinking about, before you look around
in the tool box for your hammer.
