Fought Case Bitterly.
COSTS ARE NOW $1,000.

ed Emporia Colt Case

thing Costs With Farm.
COSTS ARE NOW $1,000.

lola, Kan, Oct. 4."Lltlg CATION over a
SIS calf. which has caused costs Of
$1,000, was ended late yesterday when
a jury gave W. w. Clearwater a YER
dict against H w Amos Amos
butchered a calf which CLEARWATER
claimed CLEARWATER brought suit for
the value of the calf and was defeated
in justice court. The trial was the
fourth one in district court The bill
for jurymen alone amounted to $500.
When the case was tried In justice
court the finding was for Mr.. Amos.
Then CLEARWATER appealed to tho dis
trict court. The jury brought in YER
dict for CLEARWATER. Then some one
dug up the informatinon that one of
the jurors labored under the erroneous
impression that the justice court de-
cision had been for CLEARWATER and
that that had a good deal to do with
his verdict Because of this the court
set the verdict aside. Twice again the
case was tried in district court and
both times the jury hung. In the fall
of 1904 CLEARWATER bought a calf at
a country sale. This calf strayed away
and CLEARWATER claims that Amos got
It and butchered it. Amos claims that
it was his own olaf that he butchered.
CLEARWATER brought suit for the value
of the calf. That was the start of the
famous calf case.
Emporia, Kan, Oct. Another fam
GUS Kansas case in which the court
costs far exceeded the original value
of the object IN controversy is the
Roth vs.. Watson case in this county.
The case was tried three times in 1885
81 before Judge c. B. Graves, then dis
trict judge, but now on the supreme
court bench.
John watson and Mr.. Roth owned
vaIuabl farms near Emporia. In the
spring of 1888 Watson owned a colt
worth about $50. He branded it and
turned it loose. In the fall he hunted
UP his colt and took one that Mr.. Roth
claimed. Roth repleVined 1t. Each
man had about so witnesses in court.
The witnesses had seen the colt of
each, and every one Swore positively
that the colt belonged to the man for
whom they were teStifying. The chill
dren Of Roth and Watson had played
with their colt and they were sure the
colt belonged to their fathers.
Nothing could be proved by the Wit
nesses. 50 the colt was brought to the
ed, and, while the jury watched, the
barber shaved the hips of the colt TO
show the brand into the skin. The
brands OF Roth and Watson We're prac-
tfcallv the same, so this. settled little.
Half q day was spent in examining the
brand.
The first jury was out several hours
and failed to agree The final vote was
six for Roth and six for Watson. A
new trial was held and the same list
Of witnesses was examined. This time
the jury stood to 4 in favor of Wat
son. The third trial resulted in YER
dict for Watson and he was given the
colt The court costs had to be paid
by Roth The sheriff took his farm
and practically all he owned to pay
the costs. which amounted to some
s. 900. and Roth did not have enough
money left to appeal to the supreme
court
