REORGANIZATION LAW SUIT
Court Renders Judgment for Former
I'm q Case of Complicated
Form.

In Judge Days court the case OF James
NJ Weckerly represented by A. c. Wake
ley, against Cadet Taylor and the Employ
ers' Liability Insurance company was de-
cided Monday morning. The point raised
was peculiar. Weckerly obtained Judgment
against Taylor and the Globe Savings bank
for money lost in the failure of the bank
In 1886. Mr.. Taylor held an accident policy
in the liability company and in July, 1903,
was injured in wreck on the Union Pa
cific railroad, and assigned his policy to
his wife. to enable her to collect the weekly
indemnity therein provided. Weckerly
brought suit against the Taylors and the
insurance company 20 recover the in
demnity to apply on his Judgment against
Taylor and the bank alleging that the as
signment was irregular. The defendants
desired to reform the policy. claiming that
she should have received the weekly in
demnity. The judge decided that the proof
did not sustain Mrs. Taylor's claim and
found 1880 to be due on the policy and
rendered judgment in favor of Weckerly
for that amount. The insurance company
admitted its liability, but desired the court
to determine who should receive the
money. The case will be appealed.

viii Buy Thousands of Barrels o
independent Oil.

While the Uncle Sam company will have
a great production from its own or con-
trolled wells, it will buy thousands of bar
rels from Independent producers from all
over the Kansas and territory oil fields
For over $50 miles the main trunk pipe
line will extend through the oil fields. At
this very hour an Uncle Sam man is max
ing arrangement to buy the oil from GER
tain Woodson county, Kansas, producers
near lie Roy, whom the OIL trust has
kept on the black list from the start.
Uncle Sam company is manned by Kan
sans, who are working with might and
main to build up their enterprise 20 where
IL can protect our home oil fields and those
of our neighbors from coniscation by the
New York Oil trust anarchists, who have
been practically stealing Kansas oil at the
beggarly sum of 80 cents per barrel while
every barrel of it has brought the trust
not less than 81; still there Is Topeka

pendence, who Is out on bond. and a few
bribed newspapers in Kansas and other
hirelings that assume they can make the
people believe their OIL trust knocking lies
on Uncle Sam, especially ordered by the
political railroad fiXers who are just now
masQuerading as republicans in Kansas
when In reality they are traitors to true
republicanism and enemies to Kansas home
