But as Compensation an Ottawa
Man Inherits $4,000.


Ottawa. July 16.-The Republic
says:
James H. Johnson. young man
pair of experiences the past week that
were so unique by comparison as to
put him in class of the fortunate, by
himself.
Tuesday night Mr.. Johnson was re-
ieved from distressing sickness. of
several days duration. by throwing
from his stomach a live snake. The
creature was about four inches in
length, white in color, and exceeding
ly lively.
For some days Mr.. Johnson had
been suffering from what a physician
diagnosed as indigestion. The pains
IN his stomach were very severe. He
tried various remedies. and at last
by advice of Mr.. Hester took a dras-
tic emetic.
The second event in the series of
occurrences for Mr.. Johnson Gull
minated last night when he was sum-
moned to the parental home at Nor
wood to join family meeting with
stranger from Ohio. The visitor was
administrator of the estate of an aunt
of Johnson who died in Ohio in March
last, and who had devised her prop
erty to Mr. Johnson and his five
brothers and sisters Theh admins
traitors mission on this visit was to
report progress in the matter of the
settlement of the estate and to secure
necessary signatures. He~had sold the
real estate and the heirs were asked to
sign the deeds. He announced that
about $4,000 would be realized after
all claims had been satisfied.

STEERS WERE FINE
One Hundred Head Averaged
1900 Pounds Brought IS, 100.
From the Famous Robinson
Ranch in Butler County.
SIX CENTS PER POUND
Highest Price Ever Paid by q
Wichita Packing House.
Animals Fed ON Mixture of Corn
and Cotton Seed Meal.

Wichita. July ia local packing
company has closed a deal with L. w.
Robinson of the Robinson Brothers
ranch at Towanda for 100 head of
prime expert beef steers. The steers
average 1900 pounds.
The price on this shipment of steers
is cents per pound on board at To-
wanda. This is said to be the biggest
shipment of high priced beef the To-
cal market has ever disposed of. The
total price received by the Robinsons
for the hundred steers was $500, or
$S1 a. head
1t was at first supposed that the
steers were for shipment to the for
eign markets, but it was learned from
the manager that all the beef would
be sold to the local markets instead of
shipping it away for the foreign
trade.
The price of the steers-6 cents a
pounds the highest price ever paid
by a Wichita packing house for beef:
in fact it is the highest price ever
brought on the local market. The
steers have been fed on a mixture of
corn and cotton seed meal during the
past six months.

APPEAL HAS BEEN FILED.
Suit Against Railroad in
Supreme Court.

Washington, July 16.-The appeal
of the Order Of Railroad Telegraphers
versus the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company was docketed yes
terday in the supreme court Of the
United States. The suit was brought
by the telegraphers to secure an in
junction under the Frdman act
which prohibits corporations from dis
eliminating against labor organiza-
lions. They charge the railroad COM
pany with preventing their agents
from securing interviews with the
railroad operators and with threaten
ing to discharge such of them as join
the union, and this course, they as
sert. is a violation of the law. The
decision in the circuit court for the
Western district of Kentucky was
against the teIegraphers because of
the vagueness of the charge and they
appealed the case.

will do SO this month or next. Much
enthusiasm is shown all along the
line, and the promoters of the road
are greatly pleased with the status.
