night A tornado struck a Burlington
route combination train and lifted it

half dozen freight cars anad setting
the passenger cars, filed with pass

smashing cars, and in a moment the
wind had passed. The locomotive re-
NAMED on the track, but the entire

overly kind to friends, so l assume
all the blame in this matter.

SlRATz JUROR sWEARs
Ne WAS OFFERED BRIDE
Attorney for Defense Accused Of Pro
posing to Give Him the Money.

Butler, Mo-: Another sensational
chapter In the spectacular Kratz case
developed Monday in Butler when an
affidavit was made and fled by Chas
G. Hunt, farmer and member of the
jury panel, charging that Kratz local
attorney, In collision with the Sheriff
of Bates county, had attempted to
bride him. He also alleges that repre-
sentatlon was made to him that
enough jurors were secured to hang
the jury, if not to clear the defendant.
John s. Francisco lawyer, whose
standing Is regarded as high at the
Bates county bar, and Joseph 7,
Smith, the sheriff, who is one Of the
mos. popular men in this section Of
Missouri. are involved by specific ref
-e~ence in Hunts affidavit. Both men
deny implication in the alleged Of
Tense
Counteraffdavlts by each of them
were filed by H. G. Clark, a partner
of Francisco. Francisco asserts in re-
ply that he never had any converse
tons with Hunt, and the Sheriff de-
.clares that he did not talk with him
further than to summon him for jury
service.
All other statements in the Hunt
affidavit are sworn to be absolutely UNI
true anad false. Further steps de-
pend solely upon A. B. Ludwick, Prose
cutting Attorney of Bates county. Mr..
Folk considers that his province ends
with obviating a menace to the States
interests in the Kratz trial.
Ludwick declares that the facts will
be sifted either before a special grand
jury or through issuance Of informa-
lions or an information based upon
the Hunt affidavit.
Mr.. Ludwick can represent to the
court the need for the grand jury.
Judge Graves, however may hold that
the affidavit is sufficient ground for
the Prosecuting Attorneys independ-
ent action and refuse to call grand
jury.
''In case a grand jury is not con-
vened." said Mr.. Ludwick, you may
say that l will press a Thorough sift-
ing of the whole matter and that in
formations will be issued If close
study of Hunts affidavit shows
legal offense."
There is no question but that Mr..
Ludwick is determined to prosecute.
Application for the grand jury can be
made next Monday No action can be
taken before that time, but there is
strong probability of consequences by
that date.
Francisco and Smith were granted
until Monday by Judge Graves to file
further answering affidavits. The con-
tinuance of the trial to December IL
became a minor incident in the posi-
tive charge of attempted jury fixing
Every man involved is prominent in
Southwest Missouri, to say nothing of
the fact that Mr.. Folk was the instru-
ment in bringing this information to
light.

MERCHANTS BRIDGE CASE
ARGUED AND SUBMITTED
Arguments Lasted for over TWO HourS
and Briefs Will Be Submitted.

Washington: For two hours or more
Friday Secretary of War Taft listened
to arguments in the Merchants bridge
case from st. Louis the hearing clos
ing with his request of the attorneys
to submit briefs to him by November
1, The issues involved we're outlined
by the attorneys present and Secretly
Taft grasped them quickly. The chief
point is whether the law enacted by
Congress authorizing the construc-
ton of the Merchants bridge has been
, violated to such an extent as to work
a forfeiture of the franchise under its
terms In other words, whether there
is a consolidation between the Mer-
chants and the Eads bridges, both Of
which are controlled by the st. Louis
Terminal railroad association.
Judge John NJ. Dickinson, attorney
for the Illinois Central railroad, and
Judge ]. +. McKeighan of st. Louis
represented the Terminal and bridge
interests, and Sam B. Jeffries, assist
ant attorney general of Missouri, rep
resented the state. Judge Advocate
General Davis and MAJ. Porter, ASSIST
ant judge advocate general, and f.
S. Bright special commissioner in the
cose of Missouri against Illinois, in
which the Chicago drainage canal case
is involved, were interested spectators
and listeners at the hearing
The most important revelation Of
the whole hearing was the statement
of Judge Dickinson that the forty-year
lease given by the Merchants bridge
railway company to the Terminal rail-
road association in 1893 has been can
celled and in lieu thereof a traffic ar
rangement had been entered into by
which the Merchants bridge was used.
Prior to that lease the Merchants
bridge company had given lease for
the same period to the Merchants ter
minal company, and this had been as
signed.
