The u. S. supreme court decided the
kansas-Colorado water suit adversely to
Kansas last week. This was the great
est and most outrageous graft ever work
ed on people in many years. 1t cost
the state 100000 and was instituted
solely to feather the nest Of gang Of
politicians who are eternaly Teasing at
the public trough. 1t gave few poll
hcian,lawyers big fees for little work
and the issues were so senseless that the
court dismissed the case without much
ceremony. 1t was commended by the
Kansas politicians that Colorado is in
ringing on the rights Of Kansas by using
the waters Of the Arkansas river for I'M
eating purposes, but they were utterly
unable to show that Kansas was injured
thereby. If the theory Of the treasury
hooters in this case could have been made
to Suck it would have practically barred
people who own land through which a
public stream flows to use water there
from, however little, for mrigating pur-
poses. The gang that trumped up thi:
fake suit and engineered the appropri-
ahons through the legislature to carry il
on knew they had no case; they knew
that Colorado had not obstructed the
stream; they knew that the water wa:

How the Rip Roarer
Mine Changed Hands.



The Rip Roarer Gold Mining company
was an institution of Colorado There
had been great deal Of manipulation
In the stock, and most Of the original
investors had been frozen out This
having been accomplished, the man
ayers were using the original pay
ments to sink shaft, with view to
striking an Immensely rich vein Of ore
which they had reason to believe ex-
tended within the limits Of their prop
erty. II they struck this vein and 1t
proved as rich as In its other parts,
the Rip Roarer mine would be worth
many millions OF dollars; II not, Rip
Roarer shares would continue to sell at
5 cents on the dollar.
Now, the men who had got control Of
a majority Of Rip Roarer stock had no
intention that strike should &C
crue to the benefit Of any one except
themselves. Consequently they built a
high fence around the mouth Of the
shaft, beyond which they would per-
NIT none Of their miners to go nor to
have any communication with the out
side world. The men were permitted
to write and receive letters, but every
outgoing letter must be read by the
company's censor. The object Of all
this was to prevent news of any prob
able strike getting out before the man
ayers had picked up all the floating
stock there was on the market at min
lmum prices,
One day mulatto, ragged, but
strong, applied for work at the office
Of the Rip Roarer company Several
men had been caught the day before
endeavoring to throw bits of paper
tied to stones over the fence. Their
messages contained no information
about the mine, for there was no in
formation TO convey, but the managers
proposed to stop every leak and dis
charged the perpetrators. They were
therefore glad 10 get the mulatto and
took him in at once.
Maggie Benton was the wife of a
miner who had saved nest egg and
invested 1t In the shares of the Rip
Roarer mine at $50 share, par value
800. AT cents Bentons savings had
been wiped out. One evening when he
was out hunting for work Maggie re-
ceived a letter from him. 1t was such
letter as be ordinarily wrote her,
containing nothing Of importance. Ben
ton was an uneducated man, and his
letter was perhaps more than ordlna.
