TOPEKA MANS EXPERIENCE.

r. H Strongman, who is manager
for the F. ". WoolNorth store in To-

with an earthquake IN Santa Barbara,
CAL which destroyed many lives and
an immense amount Of property, and
as a former resident Of that part of the
country is more or less familiar with the
present earthquake disturbances of the

In speaking of his experience in the
earthquake which was one of unusual
severity even for that portion of the

Laws are cited to. sustain this con
tention.
THE pertinent fact of this case is
that this highway has been used ever
since the L. C. Award, and was in use
in 1892, when the statute relating tc
highways was passed.
1.-THE only question is, Can this
statute take the fee simple in the LAND
of the highway from the owner and
&C fer it upon the Territory?
In 1892, the Constitution of 1887 was
in force. Article 9 of that Constitu-
ton provides that no person shall be
deprived of his property without due
process of law, and Article il provides
that private property may be taken
for public use but only upon due
process of law. and just compensation.
THE 5th amendment of the Constf-
tuition of the United States covers the
same point as the 18th article above.
This section is discussed in Puma Sugar
Co. VS. Territory. 10 Haw. 27T.
The statute deprives the owner of
the fee simple of the land without pro-
ceeding to condemn the same for pub
tic use, and without compensation. 1t
is clearly unconstitutional
1.-THE, contestant cites Is Encyclo-
pedia of Law {2nd) 416 to the point that
statutes in some states provide that a
statutory dedication vests fee in the
public. There is no statutory dedica-
ton to- the public in this case and the
cases cited are not in point. The
owner has done no act to dedicate a

TO WATCH HER HUSBAND.
Countess de casteIlane Employed an
American Detective.

Chicago, Feb. pa cable dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
A clever American detective, en-
ployed by the Countess de Castellane
ostensibly as a tutor for her oldest
boy, was the means of Count Boni's
nndoing, according to story sent here
from Paris.
The American had a place in the
Castellane mansion and his identity
was not in the least suspected by
Count Boni, who regarded hlm with
the cynical indifference usually shown
by the Partisan aristocrat to men who
''dO something" for a living
Count Boni, however, fell a victim
to his own careless Indifference. The
American had no difficulty in keeping
close watch on the gay nobleman
and to learn facts greatly to his dis
advantage
