express sincere desire that Logan

that the future of Logan in this re-

choirs in other second and third

is no time for Logan to fall back.

looks now, we win simply have to give
up our plan of boring for gas. The
money we saved up will go into other

Chief stahl was apprised of Mr..
Sterne's statement. He Immediately
became bellicose. He fiourished his
hickory cane around, describing a few
intricate parabolas, and then opened
on the whole county force
L understand why all that is said,'
he answered. 4 can understand al
right enough. Why don't those county
officers do their duty Why don't the
district court use the evidence that 1
have presented to it again and again.
I laid the facts before the county at
torney and have been ready at all times
to help him. Why don't he get down
to business.
This kind of talk is all bosh," con-
tinued the chief. Useless, it is called.
What do care If MI Sterne is annoy
ed and angry over it. I was driven to
try my cases at Oakland. It was all I
could do.

means. There won't be any expense

plies to a witness or constable. regard

RINGIINGs ARE INTERESTED.
Have Share With Bailey in the Sells
FOrepauSh Shows.

The Forepaugh & Sells show, sold on
Tuesday. was bought by James A.

". and not by Bailey alone as first
announced in Wednesdays dispatches.

try We're gathered at Columbus. the
plan being to auction off the property.
But the auctioneer paralyzed them all
by saying that he had an opening fig
ure of $780, and the bidding would
begin at that. BY the time the shock
had subsidized the property was in the
possession of James A. Bailey, who at
the last moment agreed to pay that
figure. Willie Sells of Topeka had
been bidding SIPS. 000

MI Bailey. After I purchased the
shows for $3.50 900 today. I sold a half
interest to the Ringlings. We will OPP
crate them jointly. They win leave
here on the coming seasons tour about
April /, showing first in Columbus"
Great satisfaction was expressed by
the score or more visiting showmen
that the shows had been sold as a
whole instead of piecemeal
After the sale an effort was made,
inspired by Bailey, Ringing, the Rob-
insons and Walter L. Main, to get the
show owners together for a conference
upon matters Of mutual interest bill
board advertising and parades, but
there was such a difference of opinion
that this was dropped after an imme-
date storm of protest developed
Similar reception was given propo-
sition to divide up the territory for
the coming season. so that too many
shows would not conflict on any given
route. No agreement could be had in
this respect About the only existing
agreement of this sort is between
balley and the Ringlings.
This was reached some time ago,

that the bidding would be started at

took the stand.
While the majority of the visitors
were looking at each other in aston

THOSE AIMANDEN MINES.
Why the Working of Them Oners
Such Advantages Over the Ordl-
nary Ones.

In conversation today with Mr.. F.
w. Dickerson, manager OF the Al
MAIDEN mines OF Park county. Colo
RADIO, of which Mr.. George Neil OF
Topeka is president, and in which so
many Topeka people. are interested,
Mr.. D1ckerSon gave state journal
reporter some very. interesting facts
concerning the development of the
Colorado mineral belt in which the
Almaden properties are located.
Topeka people generally will be in
terested to know that the company Of
which Mr.. Neil is president is consid-
cred by mining experts to be one of
the very best properties in the belt,
and aside from the excellent quality
of the ore secured, occupies a natural
position which allows the company to
work the property with less than half
the expense, incurred by other prop
critics with a less convenient location.
Situated as it is this property al
lows the company to push tunnel
from the base of the mountain, back
under the various veins, and in it's
course the tunnel undermines the
very best veins in the Colorado min
eral belt, including such veins as the
King Solomon, the Anna Gould the
Jay Gould and many other excellent
producing veins, the King Solomon
ore avering on the regular run sac
per ton, and often as high as 800 per
ton This mine as well as all the
others in this belt is now the prop
erty of the Almaden company, and
X
all with a tunnel instead OF shafting
makes the properties one of the most
valua BILE in the belt as the privilege
of a tunnel does away with the great
expense of water pumping. which
often represents as high as 900 gall
Ions per minute. The location afford
ing a tunnel means much saving to a
company, as aside from the saving OF
the expense of the pumping machin-
cry, they are enabled to cross cut
their properties, and from the tunnel
stOpe up to the veins, which allows
them to dump the ore in the cars be-
low in the tunnels, handling the ore
carriage system which is necessary
where a tunnel is not permissible
Another interesting fact, is that
three-fourths of a mile from the
mouth of the Almaden tunnel is the
Richmond stamp mill, and this too
represents much to the company, as
their ore can be dumped from the
mining rooms into the ore cars in the
tunnel passage, and from there,
dumped into cars ready for the mill
such a short distance away.
Mining experts and other with min
ing knowledge, say that there is no
other property in the Tarryall district,
that offers such prospects as does the
Almaden properties, and as there are
three things essential to the success
of any mining proposition, a good
property, substantial company. and
plenty of money, all of which the Al
MAIDEN company possess, there is a
bright future ahead of all those in
terested. Parties wishing information
it of the president, Mr.. Geo. Neil, or
by calling on the manager, Mr.. r. W.

LAWYERS ARE COMING.
State Bar Association to Meet ON
January 81.

When the Kansas State Bar associa-
ton meets in Topeka on January 81 it
will consider the question of asking
the Kansas supreme court justices to
wear black silk gowns, just like the
justices of the supreme court of the
United States.
Perhaps the Kansas justices will
find that this is merely the entering
wedge for other reforms, and that be-
fore long they will be asked to enclose
their domes of cogitation in big white
wigs, while on duty. Street car con-
ductors are required to wear collars
and neckties while at work; why
should not judges be required to wear
wigs and gowns?
G. F. Grattan is chairman of the
judiciary committee of the Kansas
Bar association, and it is his commit
tee which is said to be favorable to the
silk gown recommendation
The secretary of the association is
D. A Valentine, and he has just is
sued a state bar bulletin, which he
will send to every lawyer in the state
In it appears the following news
about the silk gown movement:
1.-THE secretary hears it. whispered
that the judiciary committee is going
to recommend that, commencing with
the next October session of the Su-
Dreme court the first assignment of
cases after the summer vacation, the
supreme court be asked to wear black
silk gowns similar to those worn by
the supreme court of the United
States This rumOr may or may not
be true. but it is a subject that is be-
ing discussed more and more each
year by the lawyers of the state
Nearly every practitioner has posi-
tive opinion on the subject, and the
State Bar association has ample rights
of discussion. If it does come up,
every lawyer who hopes expects or
fears that he may be called to the
supreme bench should be present to
take part in the debate and vote his
sentiments. It is an important mat
ter. timely and proper"
There are a good many matters OF
interest to lawyers in the bulletin "A
few of them are as follows

man of the entire visiting party was
Theodore Hamlin of New York, rep

New York Thompson & Dundy are
fighting with Bailey for the city show

animation of the entire outlay of
horses and had each one they desired

At least 100 would have been pur-
chased, probably 125. All would have
been taken to New York to stage the
hippodrome to be put on next season.

HECK STILL DENIES.
Though Identified by Kunz, Refuses
to Confess.

John Croft and Cal Heck, accused
of assaulting w F. Kunz on last Sun
day night, were taken before him at
Christ hospital on Thursday afternoon
and he identified them as his assail-
ants.
How do you know, Mr. Kunz that
these are the men?" was asked by
County Attorney Hungate.
L have seen them both before, -
was the reply, when they came into
my store in North Topeka. I could
see them distinctly Sunday night, and
they are the men,"
want to say anything?" was asked
Of Croft, who has already confessed.
mo need for me to talk" was the
reply.
do you wish to say anything to Mr.
Kunz?"
NO" was his reply.
Both were taken back to the county
jail Heck was sWeated for a time
last night. but he will not confess.
Though implicated by Croft and the
telltale blood spots on his trousers and
handkerchief, he denies having had
any connection with the affair at all
Mr.. Hungate and Sheriff Lucas tried
every means to wiring an admission
from him, but he sullenly refused time
and time again to even hint that he
knows anything concerning the mat
ter. He denies that he was ever in
the store. He was caught in num-
Der of falsehoods, according to Sheriff
Lucas, who Investigated what little he
did say about his whereabouts on the
night of the assault
The officers have not given him up,
but will try to break him down with
further questions. Sheriff Lucas went
after him again this morning, but
without results.
Heck has been mixed up in other
scrapes. and the officers think that
he fears to say anything about the
Kunz matter because of possible in
vestigation into previous matters.
Sheriff Lucas is looking him up very
closely.
Heck will have to face trial in the
district court on the same charge as
Croft. What that will be depends, of
course, on the termination of Mr..
Kunzs injuries.
County Attorney Hungate said this
morning that all of Kunz's statements
so far, and his Identification of Heck
ana Croft, viii count for nothing be-
fore a court.
1T is under mighty peculiar condi-
TONS" said Mr.. Hungate, that such
statements can be used. To make
them admissible, a man when saving
them must believe himself to be in
dying condition. We will watch Mr.
Kunz very closely, and If he should
change for the worse we will at once
go to the hospital and get a state
ment. That Will be good before the
court"

about Groff's antecedents:

STERNE TO STAHL
Commissioner Accuses Chief Of
Police of Wastefulness.
Says He Is Using Up the County
Funds.
CAN'T BORE FOR GAS.
Money VIII Be Used in the Joint
Litigation.
Chief Stahl Gets Exclded and
Claims 1t Isn't True.

The trying of Topeka joint cases be-
fore Judge Benjamin Williams in
Oakland by Chief Stahl, has compelled
the county commissioners to give up
their plan to bore for gas and oil on
the Shawnee county poor farm
The correlation between these two
matters may seem little hay upon
the first reading of the bill, but it is
the very poignant correlation of dol
lars and cents
County Commissioner Sterne says
that by the time the county gets
through paying all Of the expenses at
tached-to--t Oakland trials, the
money which the board has saved up
by scrimping and scratching at vari-
Gus corners, will be at least two-thirds
eaten up. He figures the cost of the
cases to aggregate in the final total
at least $500. and possibly $4,000
The county had expected to spend
$4,000 in prospecting for gas.
And that is the story wherein joint
trials and gas wells fOstered by the
county don't hitch. Mr.. Sterne is very
much disappointed because of the i'm
possibility to carry out his idea Chief
Stahl says it is all bosfI.
Nine Joint cases have been tried be-
fore Judge Williams during the past
week Seven more are on the docket
Tor next week, to begin on Monday.
All are at the cOunty's expense. Mr..
Sterne says that the minimum cost of
each case cannot be less than $50 and
that it Will probably be more. And
then there is no telling how many
more cases Mr.. Stahl will take to
Oakland.
'gThen the grand jury will come
along said Mr.. Sterne this morning
land 1t viii all be wiped up. We
have worked hard to save up a little
money from various places to dig for
gas But by the time all of the ex-
penses attached to Mr.. StahIs joint
trials in Oakland are paid up, we
won't have enough left We had only
about $4,000 or $4,000 to use on the
gas well anyway.
1t is nothing more than the throw
ing away of so much money" con-
unued Mr. Sterne. 1.-THE expense is
absolutely useless. Nothing is to be
gained by the trials down there Here
are the city courts, paid salaries from
the city, where they naturally ought
to be tried Instead of that Mr.. Stahl
goes clear down to Oakland and tries
a whole bunch at the county's ex-
pense. They all come right back to
the district court again anyway. All
or them are appealed. They will have
to be threshed out here and fees paid
again to witnesses. Take for instance.

Toxic, Jan. 13.-Evening.-In military
circles here it is not anticipated that
there will be any further difficulty with
Lieutenant General Aiztchenkoa' Cos
sack raiders. 1t is believed that the
raiding troops were probably limited to
those which attacked New ChWang and
indicate that the Cossacks were
strongly supported. Steps were taken
to block their retreat but they evident
ly found it necessary to retire as swift
" as they came in order to avoid being
captured. 1t is believed here that the
Cossacks planned a dash on the rail-
road for the purpose of intercepting
General Nogfs big guns which are on
the way to the Shakhe river and also 10
upset Field Marshal Oyama's transport
communications.
