THAT JOHN BROWN SPRING.
Here's a Citizen of Cedarvale That
Often Drank From It.

Cedarvale. Kan, Aug. 3O-That
John Brown owned a spring in Kansas
there is no doubt in the mind of ]. H.
Moody, of this place. The last day of
this month Mr.. Moody will have lived
in Kansas fifty years. He came to
Kansas August 81, 1855, and settled on
a claim fifteen miles south and two
miles east of Lawrence. Joining his
claim on the west John Brown had
taken up a piece of land. On Browns
land. Mr.. Moody says, was one of the
best springs of water ever drank from.
Brown had settled on this land the
same year that Moody did. He built a
log house and barn on. it, and in the
year 1856 Brown broke up forty acres
of land. He cultivated corn on this
land in the summers of '56 and '57,
after which he went to Harper's Ferry.
John Brown was the first man
Moody ever shot at. Brown had gone
onto MoOdy's land and cut a lot of
rails, at which Moody protested. He
and Brown quarreled and Moody shot
at Brown. but missed him. The inter-
ference of a friend prevented him
from shooting at Brown the second
time. Moody was with Brown when
he took band of border ruffians pris-
Oners at Cowsteur.

RESPONSIBLE FOR WRECK.
Two Engineers and a Conductor Dis
charged by Santa Fe.

Albuquerque, N. M. Aug. sO:-As the re-
suit of the completion of the Investigation
of the big wreck on the Santa Fe at
Horseshoe Bend, below Corona, in Califor-
mia, which occurred a week ago, three OF
the employees of the road have been dis
charged. Engineers Bert Ellis and ]. +.
McFarlane and Conductor Baldwin are the
men who were let go and their discharge
is taken as equivalent to holding them re-
sponsible for the wreck. Ellis was the en-
gineer of the southbound extra freight
which crashed into the work train OF
which McFarlane was the engineer. Bald
win was the conductor of the work train
The work train had stopped on Horse
shoe Bend where the men were working
and n fiagman was sent out to head on
the extra in the rear. The extra freight
had instruction to pick up the fiagman
and carry him to the next siding, where
it was expected the work train would be
found. Instead of the engineer stopping
for the f1agman to mount the engine he
past and the brakeman climbed on the
train.
Then came the work trains error. In
stead of proceeding forward as expected,
the train for some reason was backing up
when the extra freight ran around curve
and crashed into the rear. For this error
the engineer and conductor of the work
train were discharged.
Six workmen were killed in the accident
which was one of the worst occurring on
the fourth division for several years.

LeavenwortIl Miners Strike.

Leavenworth, Aug. 30.-At least 45O
miners from the North shaft, the
Home and the Riverside coal mines
are on strike as the result of a con-
troversy which arose regarding the
question of short weight, it having
been claimed by the men that the
weighman at the North shaft was de-
frauding the miners.
District Vice President Williams of
the United Mine Workers union, ap-
peared at the North shaft, and had
some words with James Shudrowitz,
check weighman at the mine. The
trouble seems to have been over the
fact that Williams accused Shudrowitz
of defrauding the miners in regard to
the weight of the coal that was being
sent up.

son, Mich, one of the authors of the
famous Esch-Townsend rate making

here in which he states that he has no

remedial railway legislation considered.

am satisfied that some bill having for
it's object the further regulation of in

nected with the RallfOad.
w. ]. Healy. freight auditor of the
Santa Fe, and who has charge of the
travelling auditors, stated - yesterday
that George H. Moore, who was arrested
on Monday in Wichita for passing a
worthless check, had never been con-
nected with the auditing department of
the Santa Fe. When Moore was ar
rested he stated that he was an auditor
in the employ of the Santa Fe and had
worked in the auditing offices in To-
peka and Las Vegas. This statement
Mr.. Healy denied. He said that no man
of that name had ever worked in his
department.
Moore offered a check at Gould
Brothers saloon in Wichita for some
drinks. The check was for ten dollars
and was drawn on the American State
bank to Moore's order and was signed
with his name. One of the Goulds
thought Moore acted suspiciously and
called an officer. The bank was tele-
phoned to and it was stated that Moore
had no deposit there. Moore was ar
rested then and at the station house he
told that he was connected with the
auditing department of the Santa Fe.
Moore will be given a police court hear
ing soon.

Invaded Their NeighborhOod
Making Him an Inebriate.
SEEKS $4,000 DAMAGE.
Vicinity Nightly Disturbed by
Unseemly Noises.
Tried to Coax Her Husband
Home and Was Beaten.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 30.-A pa
thetic story was told in the filing OF a
divorce case in this city Tuesday. 1t
was that of Mrs. Cloe Harrington
against Edward Powers and Joseph
Unser, the Rochester Brewing COM
pany and George Dedek, asking for
$4,000 damages and the closing of the
saloon of the defendants at 1Oh Grey
stone avenue. This is the saloon which
was closed Monday night upon the or
der of the county attorney, after sew
eral complaints against it had been
made.
Mrs. Harrington says that she was a.
woman of liberal education when sh e
married Frank Harrington, stonecut-
ter, in 1908. They now have two chill
dren. Her husband earned $24 a week,
they lived in a quiet and peaceable
neighborhood, and were very happy, as
told in the following paragraph of the
petition:
During the first of the marriage re-
lations (Harrington) was a temperate,
sober, industrious citizens, of good
HABITS, kind, considerate and affection
ate to his wife and family; an excel
lent provider of all the comforts and
conveniences OF life; had good credit
among business men and easily obtain
ed steady work at his trade, and was
a successful and prosperous business
man and was rapidly accommodating
something to buy home of his own,
and by his steady habits brought to
the plaintiff and her family comfort
able surroundings, thrift and the full
enjoyment of domestic life.''
Four months ago, the petition says,
Powers, Unser and the brewing com
pany opened a saloon in building
owned by George Dedek, directly op-
posite the Harrington home. The quiet
of the neighborhOod was disturbed by
nightly orgies and people began to
move away. The effect of the saloon
upon her is told as follows:
THAT by reason of the fact that her
husband spends nearly all of his wages
and earnings at said place in strong
drink she has been deprived of the
many comforts and conveniences, and
her family is sinking in poverty on ac-
count of the wrongs and injuries here
in narrated. and she has been render
ed by this cause unhappy and wretch
ed by reason of her husbands con-
tinuous intoxication and absence from
home during all hours of the night at
this place, and plaintiff has been great
b ly disgraced and has suffered great and
almost unbearable distress of mind"
She further alleges that her husband
'iS now an habituai drunkard, incom-
petent, often sick, negligent in the con-
duct of his business and habits, cruel
brutal and abusive to the plaintiff. She
says that when at 2 o'clock one morn
ing about a month ago she tried to get
him home, he choked her, threatened
to kill her and returned to the saloon.
She recites other occasions when she
says her husband choked and struck
her.
