Antique Personality.

When Edward VII breathed his
last there came to close the life of
an antique personality. He was low
ed almost universally-flrst of all as
a man whose natural attributes made
him dear to the hearts of his SUBJ

whose ability to fulfil the role he
was called upon to assume was dem

King Edward VII, by the grace of
God, of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland and of the Brit
ish dominlons beyond the seas, king
defender of the faith, emperor of
India were his titles. Subject to
fierce criticism in his youth by his

succeeded in winning the confidence
OF his people as almost no other SOW
ereign OF Great Britain, except his
mother, Queen Victoria. had done.

plumber, who had been sent
into the cellar to stop a leak

FARMER MAY FACE COURT
Alleged to Have Destroyed Grape Vines
on Government Property.

Because he is alleged to have de-
stroyed five rows OF grapevines and
partially destroyed five others, on the
farm which he sold to the federal gov
eminent last fall, a Leavenworth farm
err may be prosecuted for destroying
government property. At least action
against him will be taken. The case
is something entirely new and Judge
J. S. West, of the district attorneys Of
flee, is not sure as to what the nature
of the action will be. Complaint is
made by the captain quartermaster at
Fort Leavenworth.
Last fall, according to the informa-
ton now available, the government
purchased several farms near the
Leavenworth military reservation to be
used as a rifle range. Permission was
given the property owners to remove
the buildings upon the farms thus
purchased. Condemnation proceedings
were dispensed with in the purchase of
the land.
Recently the farmer in question, as
we'll as others in that vicinity who had
sold to the government, were notified
to be ready to give possession by March
l. They were told at this time they
might remove the buildings but they
were not to remove any other property
and were warned against doing so.
Now, it is alleged, the farmer men
toned has deliberately destroyed five
rows of grapevfnes and partially de-
stroyed five other rows, because. 1t is
believed, he was not allowed to remove
them.
