day--Debt Sl35.00O

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Federal juris-
diction now extends over the South
ern Indiana railroad through the
appointment of a receiver in the
United states circuit court for the
road. which has long been regarded
as the best of what is known as the
John r. Walsh railroads.
A receiver was appointed on q pc
tition of the First Trust and Savings
Bank Of Chicago by Judge Kohlsaat
who named M. ]. Carpenter, form
erly president of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad. A failure
to meet the interest on bonded In
debtedness of the road was the cause
of the petition and court order.
For months 1t has been rumored
that receivership would be the only
solution of, the financial difficulties
of the road which We're accentuated
by the Industrial depression. The re.
ceivership which now covers the
Southern Indiana road only will
probably be extended to take In the
Chicago Southern railway. which wa'
designed to connect the Southern In.
diana with Chicago. A motion fol
an extension of the receivership wa.
presented to the federal court ant
win be argued Saturday.

gether with the chicago southern Il

May BE Deported.

Tombstone, Ariz.. Aug. 20.--(Spe-
cial)-It is not known whether Mrs.
Wardwell will be retul ned to Tomb
stone or permitted to remain in Cali
fornia under the care of the health
officers there or sent to the leper
colony in the Hawaiians. 1t Is not
believed here that she will be re-
turned but II she Is she will be cared
for.
The Wardwell cas- has attracted
a great deal of attention and is one
or the saddest and most difficult the
Arizona authorities have experienced
in many years. General Wardwell
lsGns a veteran Of [ = -fcyican and
Indian wars, one Of the early settlers
of this territory and a member of
| the legislature during the early days.
For the past few years he and his
wire had lived at Los Angeles and
the health officers there discovered a
few weeks ago that Mrs. Wardwell
| was afflicted with leprosy.
The officers planned to deport
| them to the leper colony, but before
| they could do so the general took
his wife and went to Mexico, coming
few days after to Tombstone, their
| IOIneT NOME. OllC6IS ldu D6tH du-
vised of their escape from California
and when they reached here they
were at once quarantined.
Application was made to the feder-
al government for their deportation
to the leper colony, but the federal
government declined to take such ac-
ton on the ground that the leper coll
ony was not a government institution
| and the government could not there
fore order anyone sent there.
A short time ago General Ward
well dropped under the arduous du-
ties of caring for his afflicted wife
anu the anxiety her condition caused
him and a few days after they had
been placed in quarantine here he
died. His wife then became demented
| and so violent that 1t was necessary
to strap her to her bed.
Both General and Mrs. Wardwell
were known to a great many people
| throughout the territory and Mrs
| Wardwell has the sympathy of her
| many friends. An effort is being
made to secure the release of her
brother from the territorial penitent'
larry that he may care for her during
the remaining years of her life and
in case she is not sent to the leper
colony from California it is probable
this will be done,

SHOT IN THE EYE
WHILE DOVE HUNTING
Murray Guynn VIII Probably Lose
the Sight of One Eye as Result
of Accident.

An accident which will IN all prob
ability result in the loss OF the signt
OF one eye happened 10 Murray
Guynn. son Of Il. l.. Guynn, of Four
teenth street, where the unfortunate
victim is now confined in charge Of
two local physicians.
Mr.. Guynn, in company with Ar
thur Henry, Ike Graham and Lou
Graham, left the city yesterday after
noon about 3 o'clock on a short dove
hunting expedition. They were ea:h
armed with their doubled barrel shot
guns and had just reached their des-
tination, about five miles north of
the city, and had scattered them
selves through a large field when
dove flew up between Murray Guynn
and Lou Graham.
Immediately both raised their guns
but Mr.. Graham was the quicker OF
the two and fired, the shot going in
the direction of Guynn, who was
some 15O yards from him. With
hands clapped over one OF his eyes
the unfortunate man rushed to his
partner, telling him that one of tho
shot had pierced his eyeball.
He was Immediately brought to
the city and taken to his home on
Fourteenth street, where medical as
sistance was summoned. Reports
from the bedside this afternoon state
that little hope was entertained by
the attending physicians that the
sight Of one eye could be saved. The
accident was purely accidental and
no blame was laid to Mr.. Graham
who fired the shot. Two of the shot
also hit Guynn right over the In
jured optic, which, however, did not
even pierce the flesh. only one shot
pierced the victims eye.
