amount to S37o.5o AS soon as
Derrick left the stand and discov-
cred how awkward his figures
looked he hit the pike. Bolerjack
took the stand again and said he
knew nothing of the threshing deal
but corroborated Derrick's testi-
mony concerning the calves and
mule.
The members of the jury, almost
to man, stated after they were
relieved from duty that they had
no doubt that the cattle belonged
to Mr.. Hale and were stolen from
him by some one but they did not
think that it was proved that
White did the stealing. 1t is not
the purpose of this paper to criti-
else the jury; they discharged their
duty as they saw it, but it is doing
no violence to say that each trial
Of these cases tends to stimulate a
public impression that there is an
organization of some kind down on
the Yellowstone that should be put
to rout. Cattle stealing in Barber
and Woods counties has been no.
torious during the past several
years and people who are unfor-
tunate in residing near the Yellow
stone have been the losers. One
man expressed it, eff we can't stick
'em, guess we'll have to Zine
EN- But it is believed that the
worst has passed. The source of
the trouble was first located last
fall and some twenty stolen cattle
have been sighted. The officials of
both Woods and Barber counties
are determined to break up the
gang and the Texas Cattlemen S
Association which extends all over
Southern Kansas, Oklahoma and
Northern Texas are equally as de-
termined. Prosecutions are now
pending in Woodward, Woods and
Barber counties and all of the de-
PENDANTS are believed to be mem
bers of the same gang. Mr.. White,
however, while he lived in Barber
county was an honest upright
young man and there are some of
his old friends and former neigh.
bors who still believe him entirely
innocent. 1t was very unfortunate
tor him that he left Barber county
and became entangled with his
present associations. That the
brands on the animals in contro-
versy at this trial as we'll as those
at issue at the October trial, were
tampered with by some one is not
doubted by anyone who saw the
animals or the hides. In legal
sense, however, Mr.. White stands
guiltless before the world.

favorably impressed with the cum

the effect of Judge Jackson's sledge

Fe was represented by Noble &
Tincher of this city and Joseph D.
Houston of Wichita. With this
array of legal talent it is needless
to say that it was very hard
fought legal battle.
This is the third trial of this
case. Mrs. Rudolph asked for
$4,000 damages against the Santa
Fe Railroad Company on account
of the death of her husband,
Charles F. Rudolph, who was
killed by being run over by a
freight car at Sharon several years
ago. Mr.. Rudolph fell from the
rear of the car and the fall was
the result of defective slat in the
car which broke while the car was
in motion. Upon this the claim
for damage was based.
The evidence was all in Satur-
day evening. Part of the attor-
neys made their pleas after sup
per that night and the others ad-
dressed the jury on Monday fore
noon. The address of Hon. L. c.
Boyle was especially interesting.
At the first trial Mrs. Rudolph
was awarded $4,000 but owing to
the fact that some of the special
questions submitted to the Jury
were improperly answered a new
trial was granted. This is very
obnoxious feature of the law relat-
ing to damage suits in case of loss
Of life, against the railroad COM
panies, and in common justice
should be repealed.
The Second trial resulted in a
hung jury. Two of the jurors
John Platt Of Aetna and Joe Slate
of Kiowa-refused to find for the
plaintiff in any amount.
Tuesday forenoon at about 10: 20
the jury returned a verdict givi ng.
the plaintiff 100000. There
were about 90 special questions
submitted by both sides and the
general opinion is that the jury
answered the questions in a way
that will stand the test in the su-
preme court. The attorneys for the
Santa Fe made motion for a new
trial which was overruled and no.
tice of an appeal was given. Mrs.
Rudolph's friends are glad she
has at last succeeded but they
would have liked to have seen her
get larger judgment. There is
no telling how long the appeal will
drag along, yet it is not wholly
improbable that the company will
settle.

dered in-the following cases: Pc
