URMY BRINGS SUIT.
Claims Topeka Police Judgeship I'm
der Old Soldier Law.

Judge s. S. Urmy, for seven years
judge of the police court of Topeka, has
brought custer suit in the supreme
court against N. B. Arnold the present
incumbent, and also an injunction pro-
ceeding to prevent Arnold collecting his
salary as judge. The supreme court has
set the case for hearing May l.
The basis of the suit is the alleged fail
ure or the city commissioners to consider
the old soldiers preference law. Urmy is
an old soldier and Arnold is not. Judge
of Company F, Third regiment of Indiana
volunteers until his discharge in October,
1852 for disability. He has been a resi-
dent of Topeka for forty years, a prac-
ticing lawyer for thirty years, a justice of
the peace for twenty years and police
judge seven years. He was elected three
times, for terms of two years each and
was appointed when the city commission
erS took charge a year ago. The new
administration decided on a change and
Arnold was named.
In his petition, Judge Urmy says that
while police judge he tried more than
nine thousand cases and that he turned
into the city treasury over forty thou
sand dollars in cash, besides sending
enough hoboes to the rock pile to give
the city work of equal value. AS he
was competent enough to serve for seven
years as an old soldier, it is asserted that
he is fully competent and capable of han
ding the office now. The old soldiers
soldier is competent of handling any pub
lie position that he must be appointed
over any other applicant.
Urmy alleges that he will be damaged
to the extent of the salary he would re-
ceive if he were serving as police Judge
now, so he seeks the court to prevent
Arnold drawing his salary as police judge
until after the case is decided

word as the setting for the "Old
Homestead
At IA, Denman returned to West
Swanzey and for three years worked
with his father as a carpenter. When
IT he set out for Boston in search of
employment and soon after joined Ty-
sons circus as a property boy and
actor.
The following winter he made his
first stage appearance as a "supe" un-
der Charlotte Cushman, who was play
ing in Lady Macbeth at the Howard
athenaeum. Two years later, in Low
ell, he had his first speaking part and
following this he went about the coun
try playing Irish and negro sketches.
While travelling Thompson was
taken i'll with rheumatism and as he
lay in bed in Pittsburg he thought out
the sketch called Joshua Whitcomb,"
which later developed into the "Old
Homestead made him famous. At
the Boston theater in 1886 the "Old
HON estead'' was first produced and it
has had continual run since that time.
Until few years ago Mr.. Thompson
travelled constantly with the company,
but as the weight of years bore more
heavily on him he was obliged to give
up all but the principal cities to an
understudy and finally to quit alto
gether. During the winter of 1910 he
created a short sketch modelled from
portion of the original Joshua
Whitcomb," which he played in vaude-
vile for two months.
This year the old fascination of the
footlights returned and early in the
season he started out with his "Old
Homestead company, playing in New
York, Philadelphia and Washington,
and planning to close the season with
the company in Boston, but failing
health forced him to abandon the
idea.

GRAIN LOST IN FIRE.
Elevator and 10000 Bushels of Wheat
Destroyed.

Wellington, Kan. April 1.-THE
grain elevator of the Aetna Milling
Co, in this city, $4,000 structure
containing some $4,000 bushels of
wheat, was destroyed by fire here to-
day. The flames were discovered
near the machinery in the lower part
of the elevator about 1890 and are
believed to have caught either from
the boxing or the friction of the ele-
vator belts. They spread up to the
spouting with wonderful rapidity, the
men in the upper stories having mar
row escapes from being cut off. The
wind fortunately was blowing direct
ly away from the Aetna mill buildings
and they sustained but little damage.
The wheat in the elevator was fully
covered by insurance and the building
practically so.

was taken there on Friday evening by

Mr.. Leopold came to Denison in the

employ of Der Demrokrat he forged
three checks, two for $500 and one
for $3.50, the checks bearing the name
of the Crawford County Demokrat per
Otto Vosgerau. 1t was not until after his
departure for parts unknown that it
was discovered the checks were worth
less. The matter was reported to the
county officials, who at once started
to hunt for the erring young man, He
was located at small town in Mon

early part OF the summer and since
that time has been confined in the
