At Last Comes Into Reward as
Mayor of OIathe.
Kept Ont of the Office Since Last
Spring.
IN INTERESTING CASE.
Validity Of Ballots the Point in
Question.
Interesting Decisions Handed
Down by Supreme Court.

BY a decision of the supreme court
Saturday, z. r. Ogg, the man who was
counted out Of the job of mayor of
Olathe, was declared legally elected,
and John J. Glover, who has been hold
ing the Office since last spring, will
have to retire. ana probably surrender
the salary which he has drawn during
The past six months.
The case carries with 1t the unseating
of J. II. AIilhoan as police judge and o.
J. Scott as city treasurer. and the seat
ing Of 2. c. owen as police judge. and
C. r. Petition as city treasurer. These
cases depended upon the decision in the
mayor case.
The court holds that all of the Ogg
ballots rejected by the election boards
for the reason that they bore a cross
i'm the circle for Ogg are valid. It di-
vides up the other contested ballots ac-
cording to sort of schedule which it
created for the occasion, and the final
result is that Ogg is found to have 595
valid ballots and Glover SIS, a majori-
ty Of IS for Ogg.
incidentally, the court takes a hard
fall out of the attorneys for Mr.. Glover.
and rules that unless these attorneys
eNpunge certain criticisms of the opDos-
ing attorneys which appear in their
brief, the Objectionable phrase will be
stricken from the records of the court.
The opinion goes On to say:
1t IS said in the brief that the plain
l1iI attorney not only had the opDor-
tunity Of tampering with the ballots but
actually did So If by this it were in
tended to charge that the ballots were in
any way changed by the plaintiff s attor-
neys the statement would warrant strfk-
Ing the briefs from the files, for there
is no shadow Of evidence to warrant
such an assertion, and such an attack
upon opposing counsel should not be per
united to pass unnoticed. But it was
explained in the oral argument by the
defendants attorneys that they used to
tamper' as an equivalent for the phrase
to handle without lawful authority and
the context seems to be consistent with
such use of the Objectionable phrase in
the present instance.
This explanation doubtless brings
the words quoted within the scope Of
permissible argument. But on the next
page OF defendants brief the express
sion is used the purport Of which need
not be here given, to which the court
is unable to attach any meaning what
ever that does not involve a gratuitous
rejection upon the personal character
of two Of the plaintiffs attorneys. At

held that the first of two husbands
married by an Indian woman, under
Indian customs is that woman's le-
gal heir, and that q second husband
has no right to the estate.
1t seems that Wa-me-go, a Potta-
watOmie Indian, married Shough-ne-
gish-go -quah; that is, he lived with
her, and they had two children. Later
on he became tired of the alliance and,
according to Indian custom, they sep
arated by common consent, and each
took another partner. The woman
married Nah-con-be alias Henry Clay
Bear, and lived with him until her
death. Meantime she had been allot-
ted her share OF Indian land. and was
possessed of valuable property. Henry
Clay Bear thought that his marriage to
the woman was valid and claimed the
property. Wa-me-go died, but his ad-
ministrator brought suit to recover the
property Of his former wife, holding
that as she had never been divorced
from him, their marriage was still
binding. This is a modificat ton of the
decision of the Jackson county district
court which held that Nah-con-be had
right to part of the estate.
Jesse Tinker, the Salina jontist
who was convicted in the lower court
of henious crime with a young girl,
viii have to serve his sentence, ac-
COrding to the decision of the supreme
court. Tinkler's LAYERS made a hard
fight for his release, but the evidence
was strong against him and the evil
dence was of such a revolving nature
that the court says.
THE defendant appears to have had
a fair trial, to have been well defended
and to have been righteously convict
ed, and the judgment is affirmed
Thinkers principal ground for APP
peal was that the complaint charged
him with assault. While it appeared in
the evidence that the action on the
part of the girl was to a certain extent
voluntary

SANTA FE BUYS PROPERTY.
But Not for Purpose of Immediately
EnIarging Shops.

at is true that the company has
been purchasing property to the
northeast of the Shops said James
E. Hurley. general manager of the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe, yester-
day, but so far as I know it is not
the intention of the officials of the
company to extend the shop yards on
this property in the immediate future.
This property has been bought from
time to time it being the desire of
the company to own from the present
shop yards to the river, but as I said,
it is not contemplated now to put any
new shops on this property. We sim
ply desired to acquire it while its price
was reasonable and hold it for any
extensions that might be needed in
future years.
1.-The report that the company is to
erect a new boiler shop in the yards or
on this new property in the near fu-
ture is unfounded, so far as [ know,
and if there were any intentions to
erect such a shop I would know of it.

no property would be needed outside
of cur present shop yards. These ex-

The Interstate National bank of
Kansas city won its celebrated suit
growing out of conversation over
telephone. Ladd. Penny & SWazey,
live stock commission merchants at
the Kansas City stock yards. presented
it's $4,000 check on the Merchants
bank of Kansas City. Kan. at the
Interstate National bank for payment
The Interstate National cashier called
up the cashier of the Merchants bank
and asked if the check was good. The
Merchants cashier said it was. The
Interstate National then cashed the
check, or rather surrendered note
which it held against the commission
firm for the amount. After the trans
action had been completed the Mer-
chants bank telephoned that it had
made mistake in saying that the
check was good; that in fact the check
was not good and wOuldnt be paid by
it when presented. The Interstate Ma
tional made the commission firm give
back the mortgage and note which 1t
had taken up with the check The
Interstate National was handling the
deal for the Watkins bank of Law
renee. After the Merchants bank re-
fused to pay the check, the Watkins
bank claimed that the Interstate Ma
tional was at fault and tried to stick
it for the 10000. The Interstate Ma
tiOnal got licked in the lower court,
but the supreme court reversed the
be held where it was simply acting as
a collection bank and where it cashed
a check upon the statement OF the
bank on which the check was drawn
that the check was good.
William Howard the chicken thief
from Johnson county, will be sent
back to the district court for new
sentence. He pleaded guilty to the
charge of stealing chickens and was
sentenced to prison under the indeter-

happens that there are two degrees

other at five years The court didn' t
stipulate in sentencing Howard what
degree of grand larceny Chicken
stealing is in the low degree class
Howard filed habeas corpus proceed
ings to secure his release from prison
claiming that the sentence was faulty.
The supreme court so held. He was
