the fourth floor They stayed at
the windows until frenzied Dy the
flames behind them and, nearly suffo-

ARKANSAS LAND AT STAKE
A Case Before Judge ]. D. Shaver at
Texarkana Involves 7543 Acres
Decision Withheld.

One of the most important cases
tried in the Chancery court of this dis
trict, so far as the amount involved is
concerned, occupied the time ofJudge
| ]. D. Shaver, at Texarkana last Fri
day and Saturday. The contest was
ever an effort on the part of the Ma
donal Bank of Commerce of Kansas
!Cily to forclose mortgage or deed of
trust to 7543 acres of land located in
| Polk, Sewer and Howard counties.
The history of the case in brief is
about as follows:
On July 80, 1907. Marcus Bernheim-
E and the Bernheim Flour Mills Com
pany of St. Louis owed the National
Bank of Commerce of Kansas City $685.
900. August 6 following deed of trust
70 the land was assigned to the bank
f BY Bernheimer. the amount named
being 100000. This. the bank con-
lends.w was to secure THESES, 900 indebt-
sdness and other moneys that might
Be loaned Bernheimer up to $50. 900.
Sernheimer. on the other hand. con-
tends that the deed of trust was put
up only to secure additional loans,
having no bearing on the $4,000
In trying to settle this point 400
pages of dispositions were submitted,
and Judge Shaver announced after the
bearing that he probably would take
wyeral weeks to prepare his decision.
The bank was represented by Judge
Wright Pickett and Judge Elijah Rob-
nsOn Of Kansas City, and the Bern
hemer interests by j. D. Head of Tex
akana, NJ. M. Cohn Of Little Rock
and j. S. Lake of DeQueen.

RACE HORSES TAKEN
IN TOW BY CONSTABLE
Two Gcldincs From Stable of Eugene
Landsberg Are Attached for
Money Loaned.

Walking i'm from the Fair grounds
with two frisky race horses that danced
and pranced and threatened to break
away was the experience of Peter Han
sen, the portly constable from Justice
Hanks's court, yesterday. As the re-
suit of the visit of Constable Hansen
to the Fair grounds the stables OF
Eugene Iandsbcrg. who shipped in
from Oakland. Monday, are minus two
horses, Tod. three year-old chestnut
geldng. and Usurpcr, Il bay, three-year-
old gelding, which are now spending
their time at the Mccoy stables until
their owner digs up enough money u
pay OFF the attachment under which
they are held.
Suit was filed in the Justices court
yesterday by Joe Goodman, trustee, for
the Chicago Looming company,in which
an attachment was secured. Ii is re-
cited that ON Dec. I, 1903, Landsborg
gave q note to the Chicago Loaning
company for S2l5, secured by a chattel
mortgage on eight horses. Later, on
April 10, 1910. when there was still u
balance of $40 left, two notes We're
given, one for $50 and the other for
$50. As the notes are now declared TO
be five days over due, suit was start
ed, and an attachment issued for the
two horses.
According to Constable Hansen.
I.andsberg has promised to come in
and settle the matter, but up to late
today he had failed 10 appear, and the
two horses continue to live of from
the county without their morning work.
