SUES FOR HER FARM.
Mrs. ChiIson Alleges Husband Took
HaIf of 1t in Own Name.

Another old age marriage seems to
have resulted unhappily and Mrs
Cynthia A. Chilson. aged 70, filed a
suit in the district court today to
make her husband. John G. Chilson,
aged II, give her back her property
worth $4,000
The old folks were married March
1, 1908. Each had been married pre-
viously and had grown-up children.
The wife claims when she married
Chilson she owned a number of Kan
sas avenue lots in her own right.
Now she complains that she was i'll
with typhoid fever in August, 1909,
and was unable to care for her bust
ness interests and while in this con-
dition her husband completed a trade
of the city property for farm property.
The trade was made with Mr. and
Mrs. William 7. Mclaughlin and so
far as the trade itself is concerned the
old lady has no complaint, but what
she is sore about is that her husband
had his own name written into the
deed along with hers, thereby gaining
a half interest in the property traded
for.
When she asked him to see the
deed, she says he told her he had left
it with the register of deeds. The next
time she asked to see it, she says he
said he could not possibly recall what
he had done with it. Finally, how
ever, she discovered it and there now
is something going on in the family
circle.

cox WINS A POINT.
The Boss Succeeds in Arresting the
Case Against Him.


Cincinnati, March 23.-George B. Cox's
attorneys. gained today the point for
which they have been fighting all week
and obtained a temporary injunction
from the circuit court restraining Judge
German of the court of common pleas
from proceeding with the case of the
indicted political leader. The action
was taken as the result of the petition
filed by Lawrence Maxwell, former So
'lic1tor general of the United States,
who argued at length against the
legality of the lower courts course.
The injunction will have the effect of
staying all proceedings against Cox un-
til the circuit court has disposed of the
writ OF mandamus by which he seeks to
compel Presiding Judge Charles Hunt
of the common pleas court to rule
definitely whether Cox's affidavits of
bias and prejudice against German viii
operate to swear that jurist off the
bench so far as the Cox case Is con-
cerned.

JURY IS SECURED.
The Truskett Trial Has Begun-Wit-
nesses Are Called.

Independence, Kan, March ga
jury to try A. A. Truskett, charged
with the murder of j. D. S. Medley of
Lima, Ohio, was secured today. There
are ten farmers, one carpenter and
one workman on it.
Prosecuting Attorney T. H. Stan
ford made the opening address. He
said the evidence will show that Trus-
kett, Smarting under imagined
wrongs, deliberately and premeditated-
ly lay in wait for Medley, carefully in
CURED as to his movements, followed
him to the Palace hotel and without
provocation shot him down in cold
blood. He said the examination of
Neeley's clothes showed he did not
even have a pocketknife.
Fred Medley, son of the dead man,
was called as first witness. Because
of a technicality he was not allowed
to testify at this time. George A. Per-
ry, proprietor of the Palace hotel,
testified he saw Truskett and Medley
in the hotel lobby before the shooting

DANA CALLS A HALT.
Judge Tells Sheriff to Put Stop to
Juggling of Commitments.

There will be no more juggling of
the processes of the law as regards
liquor sentences and commitments
after Judge A. w. Dana of the first
division of the district court pro-
nounces the sentence. Sheriff Norton
and others of the sheriff's force ap
peared before Judge Dana this morn
ing to learn where they come in on
the commitment business. He told
them in forcefuI manner to take Gus
tody as soon as a sentence was pro-
nounced.
This all follows the Bradford Incl
dent of yesterday. Fred Bradford,
colored, who makes his home and his
money over near the Sardou bridge in
North Topeka, was sentenced on five
counts yesterday.
He entered a plea of guilty to this
little quintette of charges which in
the aggre gate means a fine of $500
and five months in Jail. But his lawyer
had taken him up to receive the token
and neglected to notify the sheriff.
Bradford had entered his plea several
weeks ago and his sentence was. de-
ferred. His attorney, W. l. JamiSon,
arranged with County Attorney Simon
to have him sentenced. Judge Dana
performed the ceremony but no officer
took charge of Bradford and he went
on home. ~#
It is the duty of the clerk of the
court to issue to the sheriff a commit
ment to jail following these sentences.
An examination of the record of the
case shows that the words Hold COM
mitment' had been written across the
entry of yesterday. Clerk Thomas eX-
planned that this was done at the re-
quest of Mr.. Simon. county attorney.
Members of the sheriff's force were
informed that this action was taken
in order to allow Bradford to get out
and rustic up his attorneys fees and
also that SIS per count which he
must pay the successful prosecutor.
Inasmuch as it was Bradford who
sold the liquor in Silver Lake last Fri
day night, where David Braggs shot
and killed Frank Wilkerson, the feel
ing against him is high. Employees
at the Union Pacific depot where he
took out the consignment of a barrel
and half of whisky and 25 cases of
beer say he boosted to them that he
never would be locked up.

May LOSE BATTERY.
Topeka Will Have to Raise $1,000 in
order to Keep 1t.

An effort will be made in the city to

$4,000 including four modern cannon
and eight caissons and harness for "a
horses will be forthcoming providing
the battery remains intact. Notifica-

port American Telephone and Tele-
graph company for 1910 made public
today shows that during the year

port to the stockholders says: Public

State control or regulation should
be of such a character as to encourage
the highest possible standards in plant

economy in operation, rates that will
warrant the highest wages for the best
service and such certainty of return
on investment as will induce investors
not only to retain their securities but
to supply at all times all the capital
needed to meet the demands of the
public. Such control and regulation
can and should stop all abuses of cap
italization, of extortion or of over

only way to get rid of them is to smile

worked for them and will feel grieved
if they are not elected. This is a sure
cure. They will pass you up, then, and
work on others who have different
