A LIVELY GAS WAR.
Much of Southeast Kansas in OPPOSE
ton to Pipe Line.

NAOA " ApC
Chanute, Kan. Nov. 19.-Since the
days of the slavery agitation and the
Quantren raids there has been moth
ing so much talked around in south
eastern Kansas as the gas war. And 1t
is war. Violence has not only Oc-
Cured, but is openly advocated by
many of the newspapers in the gas
belt. One paper proffers the services
of its devil as one of posse to stop
the robbers and thieves" and these
are its own words, from pillaging Kan
sas of its gas. Another paper says the
hazards and if the courts can find no
means to keep it here then the people
must find a way to protect themselves.
The result of such advice has been
that the employees of the company
building the pipe line across Mont
gomery county have been assaulted
and beaten, the right of way men are
afraid to go abroad at night for fear
of assassination and the Italian labor
ers on the bitches are afraid to work
at all. Something approximating a
reign of terror has been existing in a
part of Montgomery county for weeks
so far as the pipe line plan is concern
ed Men have been arrested for trivial
offenses and their bonds fixed at from
$4,000 to $4,000, and laborers have
been assaulted.
The company trying to pipe gas out
of the state has appealed its case to
the courts and is awaiting the decree
of the judge at Oswego, who heard
the case last Saturday. They have not
armed their forces, but they are going
to fight the case to a finish in the
courts.
The war is a repetition of the wars
which occurred in the early days of
the oil business in Pennsylvania when
the rival pipe lines were trying to
reach the sea and when all manner of
violence was reSorted to.

The reasons they assign make interesting read
ing for the student Of municipal service Cohui'

One or two examples viii illustrate this.
Thomas NJ. AIarsac has been the clerk OF rec
ords in that court for more than twenty-five
years 1t ls said that he is a walking index OF
the records OF this greatest Of all American
probate courts, and that the lawyers who prac-
tise there have come TO regard his aid as al
most indispensable. All the records are In his
care, with the help OF three subord!nates. The
surrogates praise his industry and capacity, de-
clarlng that he does not limit MS Ohliy ldOOrS
to ordinary office duties, but that he works long
after the closing of the office and not infre-
Quently on holidays. Yet his salary, after twen-
ty-two years OF such service, Is only $1,000.
The surrOgates desire to raise II TO $500. An
other case Of equally long service, through all
administrations OF the Surrogates Court. Re
publican and Democratic. Is that OF Edward w.
Bonynge. who has been deputy chief clerk
since 1852. The surrogates say OF him that he
performs duties requiring a high degree OF
legal skill and knowledge. lie Is a trained
lawyer and a most competent faithful and
hard working public officer" They ask leave
TO increase his salary from $4,000 to $1,000
