FLeoD DAMAGE CASE ON.
District Court Is Trying River Suit
Now.

The suit OF John Whitehair and
other farmers living south Of town for
an injunction against Jacob Brown
against the maintenance Of dam at
Browns mill is on trial ct the al
ioured term Of district court. Two
years ago alpt Of land was overhowcd
by the Smoky Hill and 1t was claimed
BY the farmers that the dam was re-
sponsible. The dam has been rebuilt
when washed out at times and it was
claimed that 1t is higher than origin
ally built, thus causing overflow.
The Smoky Hill is not owned by
the farmers along its banks--their
land stops at the waters edge. The
dam was allowed BY special act Of
the legislature adopted in 1874 as fol-
lows:
SECTION 1. That James Kiddoo
and Sons, OF Dickinson county, are
hereby authorized to construct and
maintain mill dam, nine feA high,
across the Smoky Hill river on their
land on lot number five Of section

Union Pacific officials in Confer
ence on the Subject.

ence on the Subject.
Ever since the Santa Fe took of Its
early morning train out Of Kansas
City there have been rumors that the
Union Pacific would put on a train to
take its place. Since the complaint
from lack OF mail service has been
more vigorous, the rumors have as
sumed q form Of defniteness that
leads to general belief among en-
ployes Of the road that such q step is
now in contemplation.
The Union Pacific has two trains, .
and 10, running between Salina and
junction City, and to extend them to
Kansas City would give just about
the service needed. This would take
a fast mail out Of Kansas City every
morning about o'clock, and would
return there about 10 o'clock at night.
J. G. Bnnkerhoff, general suPerin-
tendent with headquarters at Kansas
City, has gone to Omaha to consult
with other officials relative to the
matter, and II the change is made 1t
will probably be effective July /.
Such a train on the Union Pacific
would carry an immense amount Of
mail, and supply portion Of Kansas
that does not now get mail until
afternoon.
