TROUBLE FOR MIR. HUTCHINSON.
Could Not Get His Goods From Car
Till He Brought Suit.

Wichita, Nov. I'd. E. Hutchinson
has brought an action to replevin in the
district court to get possession from the
Missouri Pacific Railway company of a
carload of goods shipped in an emigrant
car from Mt. Rose, South Dakota, to
Wichita.
It appears that Mr.. Hutchinson got
the through rate from Mt. Rose to
Wichita, which amounted to 1923, which,
when he arrived, was paid and he took
receipt for same. 1t appeared that after
he had paid the amount and had taken
part of the goods from the car, the
Western Traffic association required
him to pay $120.75 more before turning
over the goods, which Mr. Hutchinson
refused to pay, and demanded the goods.
Mr. Hutchinson claims that the rail-
roads agent assisted in loading the car
at Mt. Rose and gave instructions as to
what he could put in, and gave him the
rates to Wichita, which he paid in full.
There is some mistake about this that
Mr.. Hutchinson is unable to understand,
and not being Strengthened out he was
compelled to bring this action in re-
plevin. The railway company claimed
| it was unable to adjust the matter at
this time. The sheriff took possession
of the goods yesterday afternoon and
turned them over to Mr.. Hutchinson

Albuquerque, n. M. Nov THAT
Santa Fe train No. 1 had a narrow
escape from a terrible catastrophe two
nights ago was discovered when the
train reached this city. In inspecting
the train a car repairer discovered that
one of the journals on the rear end of
the front trucks of the chair car was
broken in two. allowing the truck to
drop down even with the rails. All that
prevented a disastrous wreck was the
fact that the car had a six-wheeled
truck instead of only a four, and the
broken section was supported by the
other part of the trucks.

impossible to move the crops any
thing like half fast enough. and the
grain piles up along the places where

only result that can be seen now is that
much of it will be ruined. The fall

be unsettled from now on Never be-
fore in the history of the territory
have such conditions prevailed. The
car shortage has been growing worse
each year, with the increase in the
crops raised in Oklahoma.
