SANTA FB INTERESTED.
Road VIII Likely Cooperate to Pre-
vent Floods at Ottawa.

Ottawa, Kan, July 30.-That the
Santa Fe has interested itself in the
flood situation in Ottawa. was evil
denced by letter received last week
by Agent Campbell, of the local Of
flee. from J. NJ. Meade, superinten-
dent of the eastern division.
The letter which is from Topeka,
follows: agent S. NJ. Campbell, OF
tawa, Kansas, Dear Sir:-I will be
pleased if you will take up with the
MAYOR and city council of ottawa the
question and see what is the best
thing to be done at Ottawa to stop
the obstruction of property by over
flow. There is no question but that
this can be done. The best thing to
do is to have a plan and an estimate
to work by, and 1 would suggest that
the city get our L. s. senators and
congressman to take it up with the
government. and send Major ShultZ
to ottawa at once and procure what
they can in the way of advice in this
matter, and if he does not feel dis
posed to do the detailed work. the
city to hire an engineering firm from
Kansas City or other place, to work
the matter up, while it is fresh
1T seems to me the only practical
solution is to enlarge the bridges and
build levees, etc. Whether anything
is ever done or not, the city would
have the satisfaction of knowing it
can be done and what it would cost.
Yours truly, J. NJ. Meade"

KEowAN TOOK HIS CHOICE.
Given Alternative of Leaving Town OF
Going to JaiI-Now Seeks Release.

The supreme court has issued a
habeas corpus order for the release
Of Thos. Keowan of Pittsburg on
bond. This Is a peculiar case. In
his petition for the writ Keowan
alleges that he had served a term in
the Pittsburg jail for violation of the
prohibitory law and also paid a fine.
After his release from Jail he was
ordered by the mayor of the city to
either leave town or go back to Jail.
Keowan figured it out that he was
free born American citizen and a
resident of the municipality of Pitts
burg and that he could stay there
without having to languish in Jail so
long as he did not violate the law or
ordinances But he reckoned with
out his host. or rather the mayor, for
the latter cIapped him into Jail and
remained deaf to all cries for help.
Keowan had to resort to the supreme
court to gain freedom. The case will
be heard by the supreme court at the
October term.

The bank clearings Indicate a
slight decrease in business this week
as compared with the : figures last
week. The midsummer dullness has
struck the merchants, but with spe-
cial inducements in the form Of cut
price sales II rs hoped to keep the
normal summer trade. All OF the
merchants report good business con-
slderIng the fact that the weather
has been hot.
Crops are reported in splendid
shape, and a bumper harvest is ex-
pected. Farmers have been busy
wedding out crops. and this accounts
in a measure for the slack in retail
trade. The farmers have been UNI
able to leave the soil, and the mer-
chants have depended upon the city
people for the trade. Freight busi-
ness with the railroads Is on the In
crease which is a splendid indication
that business is on the uplift.
The railroad shops will open July
with over a ten per cent increase
in all departments, and the working
day will be heightened to nine hours
instead ow eight hours. AS business
improves the railroad officials intend
to Increase the force stiR more.

JUDGE CROSS SETS
ELMER DRANE FREE
ON MURDER CHARGE

Elmer Drane, colored. charged
with the murder of Jesse Davis a
week ago in Mechanicsburg, was
dismissed this morning in police
court. The evidence produced proved
that the gun with which Davis was
shot, belonged TO Drane. No one
saw the shooting and no one was at
the house besides Davis and Drane,
till after the shooting so far as is
known by the evidence produced in
police court.
Chief Collins was the main witness
and he gave Drane's story of his
knowledge of the affair which was
that Drane was asleep on the porch
when the shot was fired. He jumped
up and ran in the house and Davis
told Drane to tell his folks that he
was shot, Drane ran out Of the
house and told several people not
far away what had happened and
then went back to the house. Drane
also told the chief that he picked
the gun up from the floor beside
Davis and went through the house,
out the back door and threw the gun
under the porch. Rosa Wilson, a
negro woman, testified that she saw
Drane pick the gun up and go back
in the house. She said that Drane
told her that he was asleep when the
shooting occurred. Judge Cross did
not think the evidence sufficient to
make a case and hold Drane for
murder.
