Ownership Of a Horse Starts a
Suit in Court
That Promises to Be Very Costly
Before It's Settled.
WILL RIVAL CALF CASE
Witnesses Declared Animals
Almost Exactly Alike.
Men Who Knew Them Well
Failed to Tell Them Apart.

lola, Aug ia suit that promises
to rival the celebrated calf case in
point of interest and costs in the case
wasi tried in Justice Hough's court.
Judge Hough decided that the defend
ant was the owner of the horse in
question but the plaintiff has appealed
the case to the district court and there
it will be fought out just as the calf
case was. AS in that case the owner
ship of the horse isn't so much in
question as the integrity of the par
ties.
James Miller, the plaintiff. lives In
Coffey county. T. A. Hall. the defend
ant in the case, used to live there but
now lives in LaHarpe. Both owned a
horse. Miller put his horse in the
pasture and Hall put his horse in the
pasture mile and a half from where
the Miller animal was pastured. When
Hall came to Allen county he found
what he believed to be his horse in the
Beach pasture, where Miller had put
his horse. He hitched him up and
drove him to LaHarpe. Miller claimed
1t was his horse.
Strangely enough the witnesses who
knew both horses declared that they
were marked in almost the same way.
Both were Hamiltonians, both were
mares. both had wire cuts on the right
foreleg and on the left hind leg and
both had a white spot in exactly thu
same place on the left hind leg just
above the hoof. Both were four years
of age
The witnesses showed clearly that
they could not have told the horses
apart because of these similarity of
marks. Now the horse which Hail
drove home was marked just as stated.
Miller claimed that because of these
marks it was his animal. Hall didn't
put his horse in that pasture but he
claims that she escaped and got into
the Beach pasture.
The horse is worth, they said, about
800 and the costs in the case will run
twice that. at the least calculation
when the suit Is tried in district court.

GETS NEW LINE
Pennsylvania Adds the N. Y. p & N.
Road.

New York, Aug. 1.-The independ-
ent existence of one of the most i'm
portant short lines in this country will
end within few days when the
Pennsylvania formally assumes
ownership of the New York. Phila-
delphia and Norfolk. The Pennsyl-
vania's offer to buy the stock Of this
line by giving SO in bonds for each
dollar in stock has been accepted with
practical unanimity by the stock
holders.
The New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk extends from Delmar, on the
state line between Delaware and
Maryland. down the backbone Of the
peninsula between the Atlantic ocean
and Chesapeake bay to the town of
ST. Charles, Va. From there freight
cars are carried across by barge to
Norfolk, where connections are made
with all the principal southeastern
roads
Including it's thirty-six miles of
ferry the road is only 1913 miles
long, yet it's gross earnings have
grown from $313,14S in 1885, the first
year of it's operation, to $3,1S1,149 in
1907, an increase of more than 1000
per cent. This marvellous develop
ment is said to be largely due to the
efforts of A. J. Cassatt when he was
president of the Pennsylvania. He
was a large, owner in the short line,
and during his lifetime refused to al
low the Pennsylvania to obtain con-

HARTMAN GETS ANOTHER
Sierra Madre Will Help His Orienta
Business

Mexico City, Mexico. Aug. lit is
reported that application will soon be
made to the federal government for
transfer of the concession now held
by Col. w. c. Greene for building an
extension of the Rio Grande, Sierra
Madre and Pacific railroad to z. H.
Hartman and associates. According
to advices that have reached here
from reliable sources, H. r. Nicker-
son, president of that road. who has
been in New York for some time as
the representative of Col. Greene, has
effected a financial arrangement for
the early building of the extension. 1t
is said that Mr.. Hartman and asso-
ciates have become financially inter-
ested in the project, and that the road
will be used to obtain an eastern out
let to the United States by way of Ell
Paso for the Cananea, Yaqui river and
Pacific system. which the Hartman
interests are building in western Mex
leo
The proposed extension will cross
the Sierra Madras and will connect
with the Cananea branch of the Can
anea, Yaqui river and Pacific at or
near Tonichic. State of Sonora. The
estimated cost of this extension is
$5,OOO,00O gold. BY building this ex-
tension and acquiring the completed
portion of this road the Hartman line
in Mexico will become a direct COM
petitor with the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient, which is being built across
the same stretch of country.

WILL NOT CONTEST.
Union Pacific Accepts the Final De-
cision in Peavey Case.

Reports to the effect that the Union
Pacific will contest in the courts the
ruling of the Interstate Commerce
commission prohibiting it from paying
further allowances to the Peavey
Grain company for the elevation of
it's own grain at Missouri river points,
are misleading. The Union Pacific
has decided to comply with the COM
missions order. 1t is anticipated,
however. that the Peavey Grain COM
pany will bring suit against the Union
Pacific to compel it to comply with
its contract, providing for the payment
of allowances. The Union Pacific,
therefore, will publish in the tariffs
filed by it with the commission pro-
vision to the effect that it will dis
continue the payment of allowances
until and unless they shall finally be
held by the courts to be legal.
The Union Pacific takes this action
because if it did not provide for the
payment of the allowances, and they
should be finally held legal, it would
be in the peculiar position of being
unable to pay the allowances be-
cause it had not provided for them in
it's tariffs, while at the same time it
would be liable for their payment be-
cause the contract had been held to
be binding. The attention of the In
terState Commerce commission has
been called to the provisions in the
tariffs, and it is understood that the
commission does not object to them

HOT HOUSE MADE HIM MONEY.
Pleasing Experience of 'TOwn

fieaSlng Experience OF TOwn
Farmer" Near Atchison.
Atchison, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE Globe
says: *.
w. NJ. C. Frazier. living on the road
to The Float. southwest of town, put
up small hot house five years ago
Tor the purpose of raising early vege-
tables for the market. and his friends
screamed. They said lit was a waste
OF money. and awaste of time, but,
fortunately for lovers of early green
things" Mr.. Frazier paid no. heed to
his jeremiah friends, and went ahead.
His first hot house, 20 by 40. was
heated by two small coke stoves, and
the result was so satisfactory that the
next summer he doubled the capacity
of his house and put in steam heat.
He raises lettuce as his first crop, and
will begin putting in his seed next
month. In the course of a winter he
raises three big crops of lettuce. and
finds a ready sale for every leaf. A
year ago he sold his lettuce for $6S2,
and got $110 for the cucumbers he
raised when the lettuce season was
over. AS he would cut patch of the
third crop of lettuce, he would drop
in a cucumber plant, which he had
produced from seeds in a flower pot.
and, while he made money, he never
intends to fool with cucumbers again.
They are shipped in at such low prices
that the result is not satisfactory, and
have to be trained and the cucumber
blossoms must be pollenized. a process
which takes considerable time 1t is
also necessary to pollenize tomatoes.
but the process is simpler When to-
matoeS are grown out of, DOORS bees
perform this work.
Mr.. Frazier decided, after recent
visit in Ohio. where there are hundreds
of such hothouses in the country near
every big city, that tomatoes would
pay him better than cucumbers, and
the result has been most gratifying.
The tomatoes he planted last Decem-
Der, for instance, brought him frac-
ton over q dollar vine. He had
fresh tomatoes grown indoors for sale

in growing an earlier crop out of doors;

Coffeyville, Kan, Aug. 11.-Sheriff NJ
D. Ricketts,, of Chautauqua county,
was here last night on his way to the
state of Washington where he has had
officers arrest Harry Coleman on a
charge of being implicated in the rob-
berry of the Citizens State bank at

Thls> alfalfa" said Judge Madison,
does not differ materially from the
ordinary alfalfa. except that it has a
drouth resisting quality that makes it
especially adaptable for dry land
farming. This alfalfa is sown in rows
and is cultivated like corn or Kaffir
corn and 1t produces fine quality Of
seed. 3
The department will furnish
enough seed to fifty farmers in this
district to plant five acres each, under
the instructions of the department. I
expect to secure ten of these in Scott
county. From there will go to Trib-
une and then to Syracuse. I believe
this Is a good thing for the upland
farmers and 1 am anxious for them to

over 100 times more than Bader and.
has a percentage of 335, while Bader
is 1915. The way the Chicken has been
mauling the ball is the feature of the
league. The averages can not tell how

is gratifying to see how some of the
other Rourkes are coming up the list
also. WEIGH is still thirteen points
