LIFE IN CHANUTE.
A Neighborhood Quarrel Is
Carried Into Court.
Almost Insane jealousy and
Not whisky the Cause.
A SPITE FENCE BUILT.
Children Beat on the Boards
and Made Life Miserable.
Judge Nation Gave Fine and
Said Fussing Must Stop.

Chanute, Aug. ga rich, rare and
racy neighborhood quarrel was aired
in the city court here, the newly ap-
pointed district judge, ]. w. Finley,
and T. F. Morrison being the attor-
news in the case. Chas Smith, who
appeared as the prosecuting witness
against Mrs C. Butcher, testified that
by reason of the profane and indie
cent language he had been compelled
to construct fence along the line of
his lot seven feet high where Mrs.
Butchers windows afforded an undis-
turbed view of his porch. While the
fence was being erected, he testified,
that the defendant came out into the
yard and called both him and the car
penter the vilest Of names and later
beat upon the boards with clubs for
couraged the neighborhood children
to do likewise. Prior to this time he
had erected a four-foot fence along
his lot line and the defendant had
threatened to burn the 7-- thing
down. His testimony was corroborat-
ed in every detail by H. M. Joslyn,
the carpenter.
Little Mabel Smith, the 10-year-old
daughter of the complainant, was
placed on the stand and told a touch
ing story of having been driven out of
her playhouse by the defendant

back, had sworn and declared her
back was preferable to her face any
way.
Don't you go over and visit Mrs
Butcher" cross-examined Attorney
Morrison.
Not any more" she patheticany re-
piled.
The defendant, testifying in her own
behalf, denied that she had ever en-
ployed profane language or had
pounded on the board fence. The
children did so and drew pictures
there, but she had whipped her boy
on the second day. telling him he must
not carry the matter too far. The en-
tire trouble, so she declared, arose
out Of the jealousy of the housekeep-
er of Mr.. Smith. who believed the lat
ter had followed her to lola.
Four neighbor women swore they
had never seen Mrs. Butcher creating
a disturbance and that the house
keeper had an ungovernable temper
and was intensely Jealous.

companying his decision with the
statement that he WAS determined tod

SHIPPERS TAKE A HAND.
Uphold Minnesota Commission in It's
Efforts to Enforce Laws

A movement has been started by the
Shippers and Receivers association of
Minnesota for supporting the cause of
the railroad commission of that state in
its efforts to enforce the state laws de-
spite federal court injunctions. Ry in
tervening in the quarrel the association
hopes to relieve the state commission
from any embarrassment or any ap-
pearance of conflict with the federal
authorities. 1t hopes also to secure an
adjudication of the questions at issue
in the state rather than in the federal
courts.
This is to be accomplished by mem
bers of the association making com
plant in every county in the state
against the railroads for alleged infrac-
tions of the railroad laws passed by the
legislature, and to make the highest
railroad officials defendants in these
suits. The laws which the association
is seeking to enforce impose penalty
of 80 days Imprisonment. without the
option of fine, on any official convict
ed under them, and 1t is thought this
VIII be severe enough to deter the Of
f1cials of any road from ignoring the
statutes. Indictment is not necessary,
the complaint itself being sufficient to
place the accused party on trial.
Judge L0chren of the federal court al
ready has enjoined the commission from
attempting to enforce the laws. and the
question will be raised if the members
of the association do not place them
selves in contempt by a resort to this
SuDteI1uSe 10 ignore the lnJunct1OnS. II
they do. it may be a serious matter for
them. Uncle Sans judges are not in
the habit of allowing themselves to be
trified with. At all events, the roads
will plead the injunction in defense of
any suits that may be brought against
them in the state courts. and then the
question of conflicting authority will
arise.
Some of the members of the associa-
ton have assumed an air of braggodo-
elo and declare that to be hailed into
the United States court on a charge of
contempt is the thing they most want
Such action. they declare, would be GER
tain to arouse such a storm of public
sympathy in their favor as would COM
pletely overwhelm the railroads, and
they would have resort to habeas cor
pus proceedings to get them out of
their difficulty.
The law, to prevent the enforcement
of which the injunction was issued by
Judge Lochren, became effective on
June 1. 1t reduces rates on grain, lum-
Der, COAL live stock and other commo-
dities, and prohibits the roads from
charging higher rates on these commo-
dities than is therein prescribed. The
complainants in the suits were the
stockholders of the roads. and the in
functions issued run against the traffic
officials and enjoin them from putting
the rates in effect.

TERMS OF THE ALTON SALE.
Not Much Risk Is Assumed by the
Purchasers. -

New York, Aug. 26-The negotia-
lions for the sale of the Chicago &
Alton have been closed although
change in ownership will not actually
take place until the Hawley interests
have obtained definite knowledge that
the government does not intend to fine
the Alton $29.0O0,OO0 in connection
with the standard Oil rebates. Two
other factors of less Importance have
not yet been settled. A statement ex-
planning the transfer of control was
issued yesterday. reading in part:
The terms under which the Chi
ragO & -tItcn has been acquired by the
that the latter shall issue ita collateral
trust bonds secured by the Chicago &
Alton common and preferred stock
purchased on the basis of four per
cent for the first five years and four
per cent for the second five years on
14.A42 shares of common stock at 35.
Under these terms if the Chicago
q Alton continues to earn per cent
on its preferred stock as it has done
during the past five years with a sur
plus of over and above this amount
ranging from a minimum of $69,2 ESQ
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1903. to minimum of $16.02S for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1907, the
only risk to the Toledo. st. Louis &
Western will be 100000 for the first
five years and 5000. 900 for the second
five years. This risk seems very slight
as compared with the benefits to be
derived from the acquisition of the
Alton property"

100 Mile Run.

Laramie. Wyo., Aug. 26.-Young
Eddie" Hartman, son of Edward H.
Hartman. has made a reputation as a
fireman on the Union Pacific railroad
by firing the locomotive of his fathers
special train between Laramie and
Rawlins.
Mr. Hartman is making trip
over the system and has his son with
him. Just as the special was leaving
Laramie the young man climbed into
the cab, having received permission
from his father to ride with the en-
CINE driver to Rawlins.
Instead of sitting down. young Har-
riman peeled off his coat. grabbed a
shovel and began throwing coal, in
sisting that the fireman take a rest.
The stoker grinned. expecting the boy
to give out soon. but he stuck to the
work during the 120-mile run and
brought the train in on time.
