Jackson Files an Appeal

Kansas City, Jan. 1o.-Alleging
that the United States circuit court
had no Jurisdiction and that mani
fest error was committed by Judge
Pollock on December p last in
granting a temporary injunction
preventing the state bank commits
sioner from enforcing the provisions
of the Kansas bank deposit guar
anty law, Fred S. Jackson, attorney
general of Kansas, in Kansas City,
Kan, this afternoon filed an appeal
to the United States circuit court
of appeals. Judge Pollock grant
ed the appeal from his previous
order, which later was a virtual dec
laration that the law was uncon-
stitutional.
There is little to be added to
what the foregoing press dispatch
contains. The fate of the guaran-
ty law and the people who believe
in it, is now committed to another
federal court just little ''higher
up" than Judge Pollock's. Frank
ly, there is little encouragement.
Experience has shown that the
farther up matter of vital impor-
tance to the people goes, the less
apt common justice is to be re-
turned.
In case of this kind federal
court should not be permitted to
meddle anyway.

Local Tuesday Morning Had Mixup
Near Stone Crusher.
AS the Burlington was coming into

nekahta one of the water cars took q
notion to leave the track and finally
succeeded when near the stone crusher
sbout one-half mile northwest of the
plunge. A break beam on one of the
coal cars became loose and fell across
the track. Two other cars passed over
it until 1t reached the first empty
water car and became wedged in the
front trucks causing them to leave the
track just before reaching the creek
bridge. The loaded cars in front and
those behind held 1t from going off the
ties and about six hundred feet was
traversed before it tipped over on the
turn. Fortunately DO other cars were
damaged or left the track and three
hours work had the car righted. The
slow speed of the train was probably
the only reason other cars were not
piled in the ditch.

Rumor Has Northwestern Extension
Passing Through Wendte.
The latest rumor in regard to the
Dallas extension Of the Northwestern
railway. is that 1t will cross the main
line of the road between Pierre and
Rapid City at Wendte twenty miles
east of that city, and will be extended
to the Cheyenne River at point near
Leslie, where it will cross the stream
and continue westward to junction
with the extension east from Belle
Fourche, which has been located as fer
east as White Owl, in eastern Meade
county. A line from Wendte up Lance
creek valley and down one Of the
streams which runs into Cheyenne
river, and heading in the same locality
in which Lance creek starts has long
been looked upon by engineers to be
the most feasible route in crossing
over from the valley of Bad river to
that of the Cheyenne, and this gives
more credence to the rumor than can
generally be given to extension rumors
of railway work.
