GOT PAID FoR HIS COTTON.
CoyIc Planter Receivers for Loss in
Kansas City Flood.

Guthrie, Ok. March ia compro-
mise has been effected in the suit
brought by J. P. Martin, a cotton
planter, of Coyle, against the Santa Fe
railroad to recover for twenty-five bales
of cotton damaged in the Kansas City
food in 1903. Martin sued for $780,
and gets s1,1o0 in his settlement with
the railroad company.
He shipped the cotton to St. Louis.
via the Santa Fe. some time before the
food. but for some reason it became
tied up in the yards at Kansas City,
where it was caught and damaged by
the high water. After It had been haul
ed around from one point to another,
for several months. it was finally sold
for junk late in the year.
When Martin sued for the value Of mis-
cotton, the company claimed in it's de-
Tense that it did not know where the
cotton belonged, and was therefore IN
able to notify the owner at the time
when it was damaged. Martin, on the
other hand, was able to show that the
company had notified him, and that he
had directed that it be shipped back to
him. After about half the evidence had
been submitted in the district court
here, the case was compromised.
