TAYLOR BRINGS SUIT.
Topeka Min Man Wants $4,000 for
SANDER.

W. L. Taylor, president of the Tay-
Tor Grain Co. and vice president and
general manager OF the Curator Mill
Ing company Of Topeka, has filed suit
against Geo. D. Greenough in the dis
trict for $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Taylor alleges in his petition
that Mr.. Greenough made slanderous
remarks about him, accusing him of
misappropriating funds belonging to
the Taylor Grain company, of which
he, Greenoughs was a stakeholder. Mr..
Greenough comes from Wilson, Kan
Mr.. Taylor's petition alleges that
last fall while Mr.. Taylor's new
Curator mill was in course of con-
struction, he was looking for a good
credit man, one to take hold of the
business, push the sale of flour and
called on Mr.. Taylor and secured the
position at $4,000 per year salary to
begin work the first of January. A
few days later Mr.. Greenough sub
scribed for $1,000 stock in the Taylor
Grain company. He claimed he did
not have the money to put in the
stock but wanted to trade a farm. Mr..
Taylor advised him they could not
use the farm in their business and
asked him if he could not get money
from some one else to take up their
stock; that if he paid in half his stock
then it would be perfectly satisfactory
and he could pay the other half later,
so Mr.. Greenough went to John F.
A1GINdIl6 ana LOtO Oh Inc WdluG OF
his farm, location, ETC., and secured
$4,000 upon the title, which amount
he paid into the treasury OF the Tay-
Tor Grain company.
Mr.. Taylor also alleges that Mr..
Greenough assumed his duties in the
office of the Taylor Grain company
the first of the year and was handling
the sales of -four outside OF Topeka.
After while it developed that he was
not satisfied with his position and Mr..
Taylor told him he would be glad to
buy him out, but was not in posi-
ton right at that time to take up his
stock, but would do so later. Without
any further warning, Mr.. GreenOugh
went to Dickinson county and brought
suit against Mr.. John r. Mulvane and
the Taylor Grain company, asking that
| the deed be set aside, etc. Just before
he filed this suit, Mr.. Taylor alleges
that he had made slanderous remarks
about him, saying he had stolen and
| rnisappropriated money belonging to
! board of directors found that Mr.
| Greenough's services were not salts
! factory they decided to discharge him
/ and he was so notified This seemed
to make him angry and Mr.. Taylor
alleges in his petition that he made
I the above slanderous remarks.
/ Mr.. Greenough came to Topeka yes
| terday and has dismissed the case IN
| Dickinson county against Mr.. Mulvane
and Mr. Taylor. Now Mr. Taylor
| brings suit against Mr.. Greenough for
| damages.

Kansas

Miss Ida N Tarbe1 of McClure's Mag

to New YORK, after spending two weeks
in Kansas Investigating the Kansas fight
on Standard Oil. She expects to return
some time and continue her Investigations
here and in the Indian Territory.
Miss Tarbell likes Kansas and does not
hesitate to say so. She investigated not
only the oil resources of the state, but
gathered some data along other lines. AS
an incident to the oil investigation she
learned how Kansas has overcome the
binding Irvine trust by the same methods
that are now being directed against

WILSON LOSES AGAIN.
Cattleman Must Go to Prison. Says
Supreme Court

The supreme court today upheld the
constitutionality of the lunacy law
passed by the legislature of 1901. 1t
was attacked in a habeas corpus suit
brought in the supreme court by Re-
becca E. Schley to secure the release
from the asylum of Rebecca G..
Hughes, who was adjudged insane IN
der the 1901 law three years ago.
Robert Stone was appointed as the
guardian.
In the habeas corpus action the
cOnstitutionality of the lunacy law is
attacked, but the supreme court de-
cides that the law is all right, and the
application for the writ is denied.
Charles L. Wilson. who was con-
victed two or three years ago of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenSeS
in the Shawnee county district court,
in litigation growing out of a cattle
deal. viii have to stand his sentence.
The supreme court today affirmed the
lower court in his case. The Wilson
case has been in the district court off
and on for ten years.
Wilson had 402 head of steers,
which he mortgaged to the A. J. Gil
1espie Commission company of Kansas
City for over $4,000. Later he sold
them to other parties, representing
that there was no incumbrance on
them. The Gillespie mortgage incIud-
ed a commission for their purchase.
Wilson was at length convicted of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. His appeal to the supreme
court was based on the novel claim
that the Gillespie mortgage was really
no mortgage, because the Gillespie
company belonged to the Kansas City
live stock exchange, and that the Kan
sas antitrust law therefore invandated
the mortgage, so that there was really
no incumbrance on the cattle when
they We're sold.
The supreme court, however, does not
see it that way 1t holds that a law
enacted back in 1891 to prohibit COM
binations of persons to prevent COMPETE
ton among live stock dealers has some
bearing on the case, and that the mort
gage itself would have to be of an iueg-
al transaction to have Wilson's conten-
ton hold good.
