GIVEN SMALL VERDICT.
Nj. j. Hurwitz Allowed $175 by jury
i'm District Court.

A jury in Judge Dana's division of the
district court this afternoon gave NJ. J..
Hurwftz judgment for $175 and costs
against Lester Davis and others for the
injuries which Hurwitz sustained when he
was struck by the Davis automobile. The
accident occurred several months ago at
Tenth avenue and Harrison street.
HurwitZ claimed that the chauffeur in
charge of the machine was drunk and that
he was driving the car on the wrong side
of the street. HurwitZ was riding a BIZ
cycle. The defense commended that Hur-
WITT himself was on the wrong side of
the street. They also denied the charge
of the plaintiff that the automobile was
exceeding the speed regulations at the
time of the accident.
The plaintiff was severely injured and
was sent to a hospital by Davis. In his
petition Hurwitz asked for $1,102, which
included personal injuries, loss of time,
damage to his bicycle and the loss of a
suit of clothes when he was hurled to
the pavement. The jury believed SIZE
would cover the damage.

Topeka Business College Men Discuss

Although G. L. Moody, president of

eral months in the interests of estab-
fishing a business college in Topeka
which will represent the combined
forces of the colleges now in existence
in Topeka was turned down by the
local college managers on the merger
proposition, there is now a move on
foot on the part of the heads of the
Topeka schools to carry out such q.
merger on their own initiative.

Topeka have been built UP by Topeka
people, and the general feeling is that
the vigorous support of the institutions
which have grown up here through the
efforts of our own people, and helping
to push forward their proposed organ

development of high class institu-

To set aside the will of his sister,
Mrs. Anna E. Bair, a suit has been filed
in the district court by George Brewer
against E. L. O'Neil and members OF
the board of managers of the Mother
Bickerdyke home, of Fort Dodge, Kan.
When Mrs. Bair died several months
ago, she left her property, valued at
about $3.50, to the Mother Bickerdyke
home. E. L. O'Neil was named as ad-
ministrator of the estate. Now Brewer
asks that the will of his sister be set
aside and that he be given Gtle to thu
property. In his petition Brewer al
leges that Mrs. Bair was of unsound
mind at the time the will was executed
and for this reason that its provisions
should not be fulfilled by the court.
The matter will be contested in the
September term of court.

Rural Route Carrier Makes Rec.
ord on Motor Cycle.
Delivers 26.Mile Route in Three
and Half Hours.

E. C. Clearinghouse, carrier for
rural route No. s from station A. on
his new motor bicycle made a record
Wednesday when he delivered the
mail on his route of twenty-six miles
In three hours and a half. He started
from station A at o'clock, the sched-
ule time for rural carriers to begin
delivery. and was back at the office
by 1880 a. m. He delivers to about
$50 patrons and carries an average of
forty pounds of mail day.
The carriers who deliver with the
horse and buggy usually do not get
over their routes until about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. Mr.. Clearinghouse
has had his motorcycle only a few
days and the trip Wednesday is only
the third or fourth time he has used
the 'pop-pop bike" He is the only
kind of machine. However, it is said
that others from station A are seri-
ously thinking of following suit. 1t
is also said that the government en-
courages the rural route carriers to
use the motor bicycles.

ried a rural route from the South
side postoffice on motorcycle" said
A E. Robinson, postmaster at station
A, this morning. "I understand that
by the use of this machine he saved
enough time that he was able to work
on a farm and finally pay for the
property without touching cent of
his money from the governme
1.-The machines are a good thing for
rural carriers. but of course they are
better adapted to the use of young
men, as an old man would not be as
safe with one as a young man."
