by warranty deed and Warren
sold it to W. II. Rich who is
now declared to be the owner.
Whether or not there was fraud
in the deals the court does not
say as there was no findings to
indicate such. Rich bought the
land from Wdarren in good faith
and the supreme court says that
he is entitled to the protection tn
investment of his money deserves.
The court says that it is very
sorry for Downs, who undOubted-

very much consideration after all.

Register Your Deeds

Many persons fail to have deeds
conveying property to themselves
recorded. This is not done for
any particular reason, or because
there is a small fee annexed but
more generally because of care
leSnSeSs. From the decision rem
dered by our supreme court re-
Gently, it would appear that such
carelesSness may be costly. A
recent case decided by them was
the following. John Downs of
Wichita county in 1893 bought
three quarters of land from one
B. NJ. Anderson.
The deed of purchase was not
recorded for twelve years thereaf-
ter. In the meantime some for
mer owners of the land innocent
ly signed a quit claim deed to
the property to a man named

ASK new TRIAL
FOR JACK DOkAHUt
Attorneys Present Many Reasons
Why He should be Given An
other Hearing.

Judge Abbott was occupied the
greater part of this afternoon hear
ing arguments for new trial in the
case Of Jack DOnahue, convicted of
murder in the second degree at the
recent term of court. Attorneys r. l..
Medler, Y. y. Wilkerson and w. c.
Heacock presented more than forty
grounds upon which they argued the
motion for new trial. One of the
principal grounds was the plea that
the court erred when it struck out the
plea of abatement, setting out irreg-
u.arities in discharging the jury in
the former trial while the defendant
was not present. Second, the failure
of the court to excuse jurors who
had conscientious scruples against
capital punishment. Third, the fact
of the court reading to the jury the
statute recommending mercy 10 the
defendant. Fourth, the failure of the
court To serve a complete list of the
trial jury upon the defendant twenty
four hours before the trial. Fifth, the
refusal of the court at tne request of
the defendant to instruct the jury as
to the effect of the failure OF the de-
fendant to testify.
District Attorney Klock and AttOr-
uey Elfigo Baca opposed the motion.

HALF DOZEN MEN
MAKE BIG WINNING
II Is Impossible TO Estimate PO-
fits Until Wheat Is Dis
posed of But 1t Is
Sure 10 BE
Enormous.

Chicago, May 29.-The great bull
campaign in May wheat passed
quietly into board of trade history to-
day. Not ripple disturbed the spec
ulative sea. James A. Patten, the
bull leader, with his gray Fedora hat
Iushed back on his head betrayed
no elation.
The deal, to all intents aud pur-
poses, ended weeks ago wien thu
shorts were gradually driven in and
Tocketed their losses. During the
month, wheat for May delivery rose
I 5 la cents, selling Tuesday at $1.35 Il
Patterns assertion that the reserves
had almost been exhausted was ap-
parently confirmed by comparison Of
the receipts at Chicago during last
month. In May a year ago, l001
cars of wheat were received. This
month but 1873 cars were received. It
is generally believed that most of
the wheat in elevators and ware
houses belongs to Patten and that he
paid in the neighborhood of $1,000
coo FOR it.
Before the bun leader can calcu-
late his profits on the deal he must
merchandise this wheat. Any effort
to estimate his profits at this time is,
therefore, the veriest guess work.
Close followers of the market are
content with the statement that he
made a huge sum, which may grow
or decrease as he disposes of the
stock on hand. Half a dozen others
also made big profits.

PHILADELPHIA HAS
STREET CAR STRIKES
The Men Quit Cars and Company
Announces There VIII BE No
Compromise.

Philadelphia. May 29.--Greatly To
the surprise of the public, Philadel-
phia is today in the tangle OF a
street car strike. An order from the
executive committee of the Garments
union to strike was issued at an
early hour this morning and went
into effect at o'clock this morn
ing, when the day service began.
While there has been some agitation
among the men for higher wages and
better conditions it was not believed
radical action would be taken so
soon, II at all.
Disorder of a minor character had
been reported in different sections OF
the city The strike sympathizers
hurled iibcs at those who were rid
ing and many passengers left the cars
and in instances the cars were
abandoned by crews. one of the
abandoned cars was partially wreck
ed by boys and men ana police We're
called To disperse the crowd.
The company announced this after
noon that the men who failed to re-
port for duty, or who abandoned
cars, had been discharged. They also
announced that there would be no
compromise and that they would not
recognize the union.
