FOUGHT FOR THE KITE.
Lively Contest Not on Schedule at
Washburn Field.

A scrap between the students of the
Kansas Agricultural college and the
Washburn students over a large Wash
burn banner, was one of the sideshow
attractions offered in connection with
Saturdays football game.
The trouble started near the end of
the game. An enterprising young
student named Devon, constructed an
airship kite which f1oated high above
the gridiron and a short distance be-
low supported a large Washburn ban
per. Down near the south end of the
field was the string which controlled
the aerial machine. The Aggie stu
dents unexpectedly attacked the party
of Washburn students who were hold
ing the kite and cut the string One
Washburn student recaptured the kite
while the rest INDUCED in a free for all
scramble. Adams, a Washburn fresh
man, arrayed in brilliantly colored
red sweater, was the chief spirit in the
Washburn defense. He broke into the
fight and scattered farmers in all d.
rections.
With this part of the scrap settled
the Washburn students tried to make
away with large Aggie banner The
Aggie bunch was larger in numbers
and the Washburn crowd couldn't get
near the banner. The Aggies walked
all the way into town with the big
banner leading the procession.

POINTER PERKINS
Federal Judge at st. Paul De
cides for Estate.
Can Now Appeal From Recent
Restraining Order.
THE COURT REVERSED
By Judge Van Devanter's Dis
solution of the Injunction.
A Precedent Aside From Bear.
ing on Insurance Case.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 23.-Judge Bar
ker has received a dispatch from St
Paul, stating that Federal Judge Van
DevanteP, of the United States court OF
appeals there, had decided in favor of
the Perkins estate in the case brought
before him last week. This is a great
victory for the Perkins lawyers and will
greatly strengthen their chances of re-
covering from the insurance companies.
The suit as brought before the APP
pellate court was complicated one.
On the Perkins lawyers going into
law court to recover on the insurance
policies, the attorneys for the insur-
ance companies went into a court of
equity and procured an order restrain
ing the Perkins lawyers from going
ahead with their suit. This was a vic
tory for the insurance company.
The Perkins attorneys appealed from
this decision. The attorneys for the
company brought a motion before the
appellate court asking that the appeal
be thrown out of court, as they claim
ed it was not an appealable decision. The
decision OF the appellate court was to
decide whether the motion of the Per-
kins lawyers for an appeal from the de-
cision of the court of equity was appeal
able.
Judge Barker went to ST. Paul last
week to argue the motion before Judge
Van Devanter of the circuit court and
submitted briefs. The judge took the
matter under advisement and today
rendered the decision favoring the trus-
tees of the estate AS the case now
stands, the appeal of the Perkins at
torneys from the restraining order can
be heard and if the decision is again
in favor of the estate, they can go
ahead with their suit in law court for
the insurance.
Judge Barker feels very much en-
couraged over the progress the suit is
making and feels confident that it will
be brought to a successful conclusion.
The fact that the Bankers Life paid
in full rather than stand a suit, gives
the case of the estate strength.
The point decided by Judge Van
Devanter in favor of the estate was
a delicate one and the decision estab-
fishes a most important precedent.
