JUDGE HAFFs s1OO,000
 FEE WAS DIVIDED
StockhoIder of Lucky Tiger Explains Mexican Attorneys
 Received Part of It.

The following interesting item is taken from the Kansas City Star of January 30:
 There has been so much comment among the stockholders of the Lucky Tiger Mining company and the legal fraternity since the publication of the story of the big legal fee paid to Mir. ID. J. Half, that it is only in justice to Mir Half. to the management of the Lucky Tiger Mining company and Mexican attorneys in the City Of Mex ico that the real facts in the matter should be known. It is true that a S100.000 fee was paid to Mir. Half, but it is also true that good portion of this Tee goes to the Mexican attorneys in Mexico.
 The original contract entered into with MT. Half provided for fee of $50, ,000 to be paid f0r wiantng tie suit. At the termination of the litigation bill was presented for an additional s50.000 fee for incidental litigation, not contemplated at the time of the making oI the original contract. This fee being an usually large one, the board of directors were not disposed LO pay IulS WllDCui lTSI COuleiTluS with the stockholders. A meeting of the stockholders was held and it was the sense of this meeting that the board should pay the additional fee without further hesitation. This meet ing also took occasion to compliment Attorneys Arriga and Calero for their services in conducting the litigation in the City of Mexico. Attorneys Se- jas and Costello of Sonora, Mexico, were also complimented for their ser vices as was also Mir. Half of this city.
 In Mexico an American attorney cannot practice before the bar. He can only act in an advisory capacity. Legal actions in the courts of Mexico are conducted much different from the practice of the courts in this coun. ltry. Witnesses are not examined yer bally. The questions and cross ques- l tioning are reduced to writing. Neith- CT does an attorney ever make an argument before the court in sum- ming up his case. He has, however, the privilege of arranging private meetings vita any or all members of tne court, at which time he is permit ted to make any kind of an argument

The settlement of the San Simon valley is being accomplished so rapid ly as to cause wonderment. 1t was last July when the movement began, on the initiative of Postmaster A. D.

present this new matter at the next
council meeting. 1 see no reason wy
the city should not pay off this debt in
ten years and have it off their hands.
They way it is now they will let it run
along and refund it time after time
with no complete payment"
If the city agrees to the new doc
trine it will be the second series of
the history of the incorporation of the
city At the present time the paving
bonds are being paid off as regular as
the years come around and the city
has found it to be a profitable matter.
The question isis the city able to
pay off the bonds in ten years. 1t
would be the easiest manner in paying
one tenth of the bonds every year with
the interest. The interest for the first
year would be $500. This together
with the one-tenth payment would
make $500. But the next year it
would drop to $1,710 and SO on. The
would not exceed $1,000. Compare
this with the $4,000 interest under
the old plan and it can be seen that
in twenty years the city would save
$4,000. Twenty-Five thousand dollars
is a big amount of money for any city
to save and it would go a long ways
with Topeka especially during the
present mushroom growth. This mat
ter has never been presented to the
city council or water commission and
they have not had the chance of OBJ
servation 1t has been so customary
for the city to refund their bonds year
after year that the paving bonds are
the only ones which receive the strict
attention in the payment proposition.
The city attorney has the new bonds
all ready to be issued and they have
been drawn up in excellent order.
Howeve there is time between now
and the first of the year to have the
city council repeal their former ac-
tions and act at once on the new plan
which will be proposed as an amend
ment to the ordinance at the Monday
night session.
None of the members of the council
with the exception of Councilman Jor-
dan have much to say about it. Mr..
Jordan is well pleased with the new
'fnd' by the city attorney and intends
to push the matter with all possible
haste at the next meeting of the coun-
ell. It is reported. however, that most
of the council is in favor of the new
issue as it has been presented to them.
Monday night the whole matter will
be hashed over during the street
naming recess and with the two

The swift course of the $40,0 600 cleo

received a slight set back today when
City Attorney Dreaming and Council
man G. E. Jordan made a new propo-
sition to the city authorities and to-
gether they have framed the matter
up and it will be presented at tlIesnext
meeting of the city council.
The ideas suggested by the two city
officials is to Waylay the $4,000, for
90 years agreement and instead sub
stitute one of $4,000 in ten year
bonds. thus paying off the bonds in full
before the beginning OF. the eleventh
year. This would free the city of all
indebtedness and in the end would
make the cost of the city electric light
plant much less
The present scheme for the issuing
of the bonds is to sell the $40, 600
worth of bonds at y per cent interest
payable at the end of 20 years. At
an interest of Az per cent year it
would mean $500 a year for interest
alone and at the end of 20 years the
city would find that the electric light
plant really cost $4,000, there being
$4,000 of interest money alone or al
most as much interest as the money
itself.
City Attorney Dreaming was en-
thusiastic over the new deal this morn
ing. He was. on the other hand, dis
gusted with the original action of the
city council in granting the 20 year
payment bonds. He said:
''As a taxpayer of the city 1 am
radically against paying $4,000 for
the new electric light plant. When
the matter was first considered men
toned this new manner of payment to
the mayor but he did not have much
to say. 1t IS absurd to agree to such
a deal and Councilman Jordan will

A NO DRINK COMPACT.
RebuttaI Evidence In the Coney Libel
Suit

RebuttaI has clear field in district
court today in the Coney libel case
but progress is slow.
The principal witnesses today, were
Mrs, P. H. Coney, B. F.. FIeniken, dep
uty United States marshal, Col. J. w.
Walker Of Wellington, and P. H Coney
himself.
1t started With an examination of
Mrs. Coney who claimed to have been
in her husbands office at the time of all
of the alleged Charity Ewing inter-
views. Mrs: Coney was examined by
her husband, and some amusement was
caused by Coneys old school exami-
nation. He referred to himself in this
examination as said P. H. Coney," and
she answered, Yes. SIR Mrs. AConey
corroborated the testimony given by Mr..
Coney in the first stages of the trial.
She went into detail. corroborating the
start to finish, and giving him a clean
bill OF health.
There was a row between attorneys
in this session, regarding the difference
between rebuttal and direct testimony,
the defense claiming that Mrs. Coney
could not go further than the questions
testified to by her husband. In a ma
jority of these objections, the defense
was sustained by the court.
Mr. Fleniken testified that in April,
1889. he entered into an agreement with
P. H Coney, never to drink intoxicat-
ing liquors again. lie stated that he
had never taken a drink after that
stipulation, and thought that Coney
had not violated his end of the con-
tract This was used to refute the
stories that Coney had been drunk dur
ing recent years
Col Walker testified that he attend
ed an old soldier banquet in Washing
ton, D. c., nine years ago, and that him
self and Captain Coney escaped in a
sober condition. This was also offer
ed in rebuttal to the drunk evidence
offered by Copeland Gordon, I. S. Elder,
Col H. G. Lindsay and others.
Coney then took the stand in rebuff
tai and denied each and every allega-
ton (without reserve) which has been
made against him since the case was
opened. He says that he went to Bob"
Pigg's joint, where Col, Lindsay says he
saw him in a "soused" condition, for the
purpose of telling Pigg that he must
stop running the place or he would have
him arrested. The Pigg joint, a place
from Conveys office. He was just sit
ting at table waiting for Pigg, the
proprietor, to appear and hear his COM
AS to the Cope Gordon charge that
he was drunkard and jumped his
board bill in days long past, he denies
each and every allegation, and states
further that while he was sick with
malariaI fever in the Gordon House, his
trunks, containing valuables, were sefz-
ed for the bill.
It is certain that the defense will call
back certain witnesses and add others,
to rebut the rebuttal testimony, and a
pleasant time will be had way into the
middle of next weak.
