COMPLICATED COMPLAINT.
Criminal Charge Against w. E. Wilsie
 has Queer Complexion.

An Imperial Justice of the Peace is- sued this week a warrant for the ar rest of W. E. Wilsie on a complaint for selling mortgaged property The mortgagee was not the complainant, however, and the prosecution has a queer aspect. Wilsie sold some hogs to c. A. Long with the full consent and approval of Mir. Crawford, who held a mortgage on them. Long has @ claim against Wilsie, or has acquired interest in a lawsuit, not connected with the hog transaction, and appears to have mixed up Crawford's business with his own. Crawford having taken up Wilsies side of the matter with some vehemence and made loud pro- test against the charge, the complaint has been so amended as to allege that Wilsie failed to notify Long of the eX- istence of the mortgage. The compli- cations will be strengthened in court. In the meantime nobody believes that there is any basis for a criminal charge against MT. Wilsie.

up, and was forced to pawn her
surplus wearing apparel to some
money lenders. And, finally, after
all those years, the princess
dresses found their way to Vienna,
where they were exposed to public
auction within half a mile of the
stately palace of the Coburgs.
The money lenders had appealed
to Prince Philip to repay the
amount they had advanced. calcu-
lating upon his doing so in order to
escape the disgrace of seeing his
wife's ward .obe exposed to public
view.-But the prince is nothing if
not obstinate, and refused to part
with any money, although at one
time less than $4,000 would have
settled it. But through the inter

the sale was postponed, and it now

He sent for the prince and talked
to him very seriously, but the

That Depot at WorIand Contro.
verSy.

In compliance with orders from the
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion, who acted upon the advise OF
Attorney General Hadley, Prosecu-
ting Attorney Watt b Dawson com
IN snced suiI about year ago III the
name ofthe State Of Missouri against
the Kansas City s ,uthern Railroad
company to compel them 80 build q
depot al Worlan0 and to put u resi-
dent agent in charge. The evidence
was concluded and the case argued
before Judge D.nton on Monday,
last, who took is under advisement,
IN opinion TO be given at q later
date
The history Of the case Is as fol.
lows:
In 1891 when the railroad was bs
Ing prof .cted through that country,
the lanu adjacent to Worlsnd was
owned by Simms & Tucker who gave
a right Of way to the company in
consideration that they build a dep, /
within g quarter OF q mile OF the cor
pofation. This was done, but about
six years ago the depot was torn
down, and In It's place shelter shed
was erected.
In 1901 a law was pa sed by the
Legislature, providing shat where q
railroad company had accepted right
Of way In consideration OF building q
depot, the same must be maintained
and in charge OF y resident agent
And It was made the duty OF the
prosecuting attorney to institute
suit to enforce same upon complaint
OF the citizsns Of q town.
Some time ago, the company sp.
pealed to the Railroad and Ware
house Commission to release them
from the duty OF building and matt.
tanning this depot and this was re
fused them and suit ordered begup.
The Railroad company bases it's
defense upon the following:
That since the contract with
Simms & Tucker was entered into 10
years before the passing Of the law
OF 1901. as applied to this case the
law is ExPosT FACTo; that the law is
unconstitutional, both as.to the con-
stitution OF Missouri and OF the
United Ststes; that It impsirs the
obligation OF q contract by increas-
lug the burdens of the company;
that the law applies only to new
towns built up after the building OF
the railroad and therefore cannot
apply to Worlsnd.
So far as is now known, this is the
fitst test Of this law, and II lie excit.
ing considerable interest. not only In
this vicinity, but in various parts u
the state.
