We had two Of Brookhaven's

their fair, gentle demeanor.

Killed by Policeman

John Mclean, a somewhat motor
ious character of the city, was shot
about eleven O'Clock Tuesday night
py policeman Anderson, dying 20
or 30 minutes later. Mclean has been
troublesome citizen for many years.
He was a constant drinker and when
drunk was liable TO get into trouble.
He had been in the penitentiary a
couple of terms and WAS considered
dangerous man. He had been drink
ing all day and by night was loaded
to the guards. He cams on the street
furnishing revolver of heavy caliber
saying he was going to clean out the
police force. AT the city ball steps he
met special policeman Hedrick and
held him up with his gun. He and
Hedrick we're old acquaintances and
it is not thought he intended to shoot
but was making ths gun play In
kind of drunken bravado. Had he in
tended to shoot he had plenty of time.
Policeman Anderson, who was
standing near, saw the play and draw
ing his gun shot Mclean through the
left lung, near the heart. Mclean
did not fall but staggered across the
SUT66U. ne was spcSdliy uiNdt hCd auV
taken to the city Jail where he soon
died.
Anderson is blamed by many for
shooting. However, Mclean had the
reputation of being a dangerous man
and the police did not feel like taking
chances.
When not drunk John Mclean was
a peaceable man.
The police showed great inefiiciencY
10 allowing the boIsterOus and disor =
derly conduct on the street, Monday
night, and 10 not arresting Mclean
during the day. Tuesday when he was
filling up and flourishing his whisky
bottle on Main street.
John Mclean was>a brave, fearless
man of generous instinct but whisky
had blunted his sensibilities and
made a brute of him. His death is a
warning to his brothers and asso-
ciates. Drink leads only to destruct-
ion and disgrace.

The tenant is entitled TO natural
accretions TO the premises as where,
by change Ia the course OF river,
ground was added TO leased premise
which fronted on river.
Where one leases a house, he is en-
titled to the lot, outhouscs, fences,
trees and things OF like nature, ap-
purtenant thereto. Where one leased
portion Of tenement house, it was
held that he was entitled, unless he
had cut himself off by an agreement
from claiming them, to the convent
ences of the house, such as the use or
the front door and door bell, the Gus
tomary place for drying clothes, the
water closets, etc.
The question has arisen as TO the
right of one renting premises In d
business block to use the outer walls
for signs, and the cases have held that
where he has not restricted his right
by agree ment, he is entitled TO such
| use OF the walls.
Many landlords are not aware that,

more right to enter the premises or
their tenants than have strangers. A
landlord who enters AMI attempts TO
remove plant or make alterations,
even though the alterations are to his
miud bene fetal to the premises, or to
put up signs, Is guilty of trespass
where under like circumstances a
stranger would be guilty.
II the tenant abandons the prem
ises before the expiration of his term
the landlord has right TO re.entsr.
But where the landlord claims there
has been forfeiture for the non-pay-
ment OF rent, he must. before a re
entity, be sure to comply With all the
formalities of the law, as, by making
a demand for the amount of rent due
OH the last day, on the premises, AND
st a convenient time before sunset
II the tenant has agreed TO pay taxes
and has not done so, before the land
lord can re- enter he must demand tn
PAYMENT of the taxes within the per-
iod required by law. Ia orher words
the landlord, before re-entry for
breach of contract. must be careful tt
comply with the statutory and com
mon law requirements In us staoe
The landlord may enter to make re
pairs when he has agreed in his leas
to make them, or he may enter TO de
mand rent that is due. In Kansa
case it was held that If after the ten
ant had refused to pay the rent an
had begun to move, the landlor
moved out the rest Of the tenant
things and took possession, the tenan
had no cause for action.
Where ene has given lease to ar
other without excepting any rights q
f privileges to himself other than tn
payment OF the rent, he has practi
sally sold and conveyed the premise
to the tenant for the time stated /
the lease, and he has no more right t
interfere during the term Of the leas
with the tenants peaceable enjoy
ment of the premises than he woul'
have to enter the premises Of one t.
whom he has given deed.
In our next we shall discuss the ten
ants right to make alterations, ant
the matter of his use Of the premise
for purposes other than those agreed
upon.

ELECTION NOTES

The campaign has been largely
of personalities. IT this thing con-
tinues it will soon become impos-
sible to get man Of any self pride
to accept a nomination for any city
office. The actions on the street,
Monday night were disgracefuI in
the extreme. The police failed to
do their duty. The claims made by
the dailies during the campaign for
their respective candidates were
wild and believed by no one.
Early in the morning a string OF
votes was in line at each precinct
and the voting was lively from the
start. The hacks were out early
and soon got busy butfalled to bring
in many voters during the first hour
The great storm center seemed to
be in the 4th wsrl. The di, sion
Of the ward into two precincts
lessoAed the congestion about the
city hall very materially. During
! the early part OF the day every
body is busy and good humored.
The candidates are fitting from
precinct to precinct, wearing an
anxious but hopeful look, seeing
that their lieutenants are in line.
This days work will bring exultation
to some and defeat to others. The
defeated candidates will feel sore
for a while but they are the ones
who win in the long run.
The afternoon brings more en-
thusiasm and a greater rush Of
voters. The streets are full of lady
voters who cast their ballots anc
proceed to do the various stores.
1t is very evident that the Rot
forces are thoroughly organized ant
know just what they are doing. Th'
Gray organization on the east sid
is weak and the Rawlings nothini
at all.

our brightest and best young people.
They 90 to housekeeping 10 their

complished young lady and AQuilla is
one OF our best young men.
We predict for them success and
happiness. A young man who has al
ways been 30 attentive and polite 70

CONDITIONS in RUSSIA

The conditions in Russia are bad
in the extreme. Riots are occurring
every day and the people are only
held down in the cities where there
are bodies of soldiers and extraordi-
nary police protsctien.
These things do not occur at only
one or two towns, but at many, and
the populace are held i'll check in
many others only by the presence of
troops. The whole country is in a
state of ferment. Strikes are num-
erous and large manufacturers are
The Chanute times., 1905-04-07

afraid to take contracts to fill big
orders lest their men quit them and
they are utterly unable 10 fill their
contracts.
Such a condition can not long ex-
lst. 1t looks like Russia will need
all her surplus soldiery to preserve
order at home. If the Car could
only mother his pride and close
the eastern war on the best terms
possible and then grant liberal
government to his subjects at home,
he could immortalize himself and do
a great and lasting service to his
country. 1t looks now like the
Russians are irretrievably whipped
and the best and only thing for
them to do is to acknowledge the
fact and set to work TO recover
from the disaster as speedily as
possible.

A Hutchinson priest proposes to
solve the servant problem for that
city by importing one hundred
Irish girls. That is an all right
sche me as long as the girls hold
out. About the best plan would be
to teach American girls to be some
account and that labor is honorable,
even though it be washing dishes.
The Chanute times., 1905-04-07

Few landlords and perhaps fewer
tenants realize the extent OF their
rights aud obligations, even where
they haye agreed TO the terms of a
lease and affixed their signatures
thereto. Perhaps a still smaller num-
ber of tenants who occupy leased
premises TN verbal terms. or upon
practically no expressed conditions,
understand the law governing the re-
lation existing between them and
their landlords.
Nearly every one is either a land
lord or tenant; this, together with
the fact that the questions arising
between the two are many and var
ious, makes some plain talk on the
subject desirable.
There are two terms usually found
in leases that perhaps need simple
definitions before proceeding TO use
them. These terms are "appurte-
nance" and easement" IN appur-
tenance is that which belongs to
something else; something accessory
to something else, 1t Is always some
thing OF less importance than that to
which it appertains or belongs, as,
trees are appurtenant to the soil An
easement is a right or privilege which
one has in the estate of another, dis
tinct from the ownership of the soil,
as where one owns right of way over
land Of another. or where one has the
right of fishing In another mans
stream.
Now, we will be understood when
we say that whatever is appurtenant
TO leased land goes with ID; so that, II
one rents piece OF ground, and moth
ing is stated to the contrary In the
lease, everything appertaining to the
soil goes with the soil, as houses,
barns, fences. trees, shrubbery, etc ;
but not things of temporary nature,
not belonging to the soil, as agricul-
tural implements. domestic animals,
etc. Then, too, this is so in the case
Of a sale or lease, whe her the lease
or deed so states or not. A mere ver-
bal lease not specify ing the appurte.
uauces, will be sufficient to entitle
the lessee to their possession aud use.
Under no circumstances may the les
for, after the lessee has taken pos
session, enter to remove appurtances,
and his attempt to do 90 makes him
trespasser and lays him liable te an
action for trespass. Where one has
leased premises TO another and fails
to give him possession OF all the prem
ises leased, including the appurte-
nances, the lessee is under no obliga-
tion to accept part. but may aean-
don all without liability for damages.
The cases that have arisen have
grown out Of the difficulty In determ-
lining what lie appurtenant and what is
not appurtenant TO the soil. Fer In
stance: A man leased mill. There
was 40 approach to 1t from the high
way, excepting oyer other property
belonging to the lessor. The courts
held thrt an approach 10 the mill
from the highway being necessary TO
the use OF the nall, such right OF way,
or easement, passed with the mill. In
another case, where mill was leased
and the lessor owned other property
adjoining through which the water
passed bv which the mill was run, it
was held that the lessee OF the mill
had, as an appurtenance to the mill,
| the right to 9 sufficient head of water

A SUGGESTION

Not original with the editor but
made by one of our active business
men. First, to elect good active
man of business capacity for mayor,
which we have now done, and then
hire him to take general charge OF
all city affairs, paying him reason
able amount for his time and re
quirlng him to maintain an office In
the city hall and devote his time to
city business the same as any other
city employee.
With all these public utilities the
city owns and the regular city bust
ess there is a vast amount OF busi-
ess that requires the strlctest per-
\ onal attention by competent man.
In a general way the mayor now IS
the head of the whole concern but
he draws no salary and the business
is portioned out to committees and
heads of departments and does not
get that critical scrutiny that an or
dinarily careful business man would
give his own affairs.
We have no criticism to offer, at
lent, on the management OF any
4 apartment in the city but we do
not believe there Is any business in
stitution that transacts the large vol
ume of business that does this city,
in the state or any other state Tor
that matter, that does not have
good salaried man at its head who
is general superintendent of the
whole machinery.
1t would be the mayors duty to
thoroughly fam'liarize himself with
the workings and needs of every de-
partment and every public utility
controlled by the city, to carefully
inspect all bills and accounts and
see that nothing is bought that is
not needed and know that supplies
are bought at current prices. This
arrangement would do away with
much red tape procedure and great
ly facilitate business and economic
time. We have no doubt that
mayor acting in this way woulc
more than save his salary every
year.
If, under the law, mayor car
not be employed in this capacity
then, the next best thing, is to EN-
ploy a thoroughly competent mar
to act till the laws can be amended
We are thoroughly convinced tha
competent supervision Of the affairs
of the city are badly needed anf
that such supervision can not be OBJ
tanned at the hands of mayor who
works for glory alone.
We have become a great, bit
business institution, employing
many men and women, collecting
and dlsbursing many thousands o.
dollars every year, with no active
superintendent at the head con-
stantly looking after the little leaks,
here and there.
No private business of half the
volume is ever run in such
manner.
