AFTER A LOST FARM.
j. w. Stewart, Guardian for Insane
Man, Trying to Recover.

J. w Stewart; guardian for J. A.
McCune, an insane man, has filed an
appeal in the supreme court from a
decision Of the Kingman county court
in an effort to secure possession of a
farm to which he claims that his ward
is entitled.
McCune was adjudged insane May
10, 1887. The next day his wife was
appointed his guardian. Soon after
she sold the farm to the Kansas Ma
tional Loan and Trust company, with
out the consent of Mr.. McCune, but
by virtue of certain proceedings of
the probate court. This trust COM
pany sold the land in 1890 to Mrs
Allie NJ. Rea.
Subsequently Mrs. McCune was dis
charged as guardian and Stewart ap-
pointed. He commenced suit to break
the deed by which the land was trans
ferred by Mrs. McCune and to re-
cover $4,000 rentals and profits which
he alleged to be due from Mrs. Rea.
The lower court gave judgment for
Mrs. Rea, and held her title to the
land to be good.

Louisiana and the great commercial

Gen. Jim. in the Shreveport Journal,
is responsible for this: The Russian
army officers of the far East join in
prayer to the emperor not to consider
terms of peace, pleading for an oppOr-
tunity to show the quality of Russian
valOr. This reminds us. During the
civil warit was told of General Forest
that when a battle ono opened no n
was permitted to leave the firing line
save the wounded. And he saw that
mono did. One day, when his command
was, as the old Tennessee lady said,
''strung put in line of fight" and a
chaplain was exhorting the boys to
prepare for h-ll, it burst upon them in
the shape of a dash of federal cavalry.
1t was warm and the bullets whiZzed in
quantities. The preacher broke for the
rear. but Forrest saw him. "Where in
the - and = - are you running
to. you blamed sneak!' yelled the Gen
eral. "pm a non-combatant; q minister
OF the Lord, and / am going out of
this!" screamed the chaplain. "No, you
are mott" replied the blazing mad For
rest; "you have been trying to get to
heaven for years, and I'll not permit
you to run away from the best Oppor-
tnnity to reach bliss you ever had. Get
in there!"
Right behind these doughty Russian
officers are a lot of Japs, and there
never was such an opportunity to show
valOr on earth. Let them just face
about.
