Leading Fruit Expert Of Kansas
Says Prospects Are Good.
Weather Favorable and Budding
Has Been Delayed.
COOL DAYS IN SPRING.
Keep Sap Thick and Quality
Should Be Fine.
The Peach Crop Is Not Entirely
Lost.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 27.-
Fruit growers have reason to be en-
couraged by the prospects for the APP
pie crop of this season, according to
Francis Gobel, one of the largest APP
pie growers in this part of the state.
Mr. Gobel was in Leavenworth attend
ing to business in connection with his
fruit farm and spoke favorably of the
fruit crops.
Conditions for a good fruit crop
have been all that could be asked, ;"
Mr.. Gobel said. From the first of
the year the weather has been the
best. It has been cool nearly all the
time and at no time has it been warm
enough to start rapid budding of the
trees.
THE peaches are not entirely I'M
hurt. But it is the opinion of the ma
5ority of the fruit growers in our To-
cality that a large part of the crop
will be ripened. Even If many buds
are destroyed, there are just as many
that still will bloom. l expect at least
a fair crop.
Crisis Not Yet Reached.
cit is the apple crop that means the
most to fruit growers, however. That
is yet absolutely unchanged. The
and there has been no cold weather
to freeze them if they had. It has
been cool enough to keep the sap from
rising too freely and getting thin.
That will do much toward making a
good quality of fruit
when the sap gets thin and runs
early in the season, there is apt to be
a large number of apples. But they
would be stunted. The apples often
are wormy under the same conditions.
There has been no weather to effect
the trees that way this year.
"Of course, the crisis of the apple
season has not been reached. That is
when the buds begin to bloom. Should
there be q freeze then the crop will
be lost. But from the way the season
has been, 1t IS hardly likely that the
freeze will come. The cold weather
has come at the right time and there
is no reason to expect it to continue.
Last year the season was the re-
verse. It was warm in March and a
sleet and snow came in April. Even
then there was q good apple crop. I
feel confident that growers should look
for a good season again this year.

sTooKMEN WON THEIR CASE.
Santa Fe stationed Cattle Infected
With Texas Fever at Strong City.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, March 81.
The case of Moffett Brothers & An
drews, a live stock commission firm of
Kansas City VS.. the Santa Fe Railway
company, which was tried in the dis
triet court here last week. and which
has attracted considerable attention
among stockmen and shippers, closed
yesterday after being before the court
four days. The decision by the jury
gave Moffett Brothers & Andrews ST.
200. In July, 1909, the Santa Fe sta
toned twenty-five carloads of quar-
antined cattle at Strong City while in
transit from Texas to Chicago because
of high waters which tied up traffic.
The stock is said to have been in
fected with Texas fever, but the yards
in which the cattle were held over
were afterwards disinfected. Several
weeks later, Moffett Brothers & An
drews shipped 500 head of cattle to
Strong City to be pastured in this
county. The cattle passed through the
same yards, and a few days after
wards Texas fever broke out in the
herd and several carloads of the stock
died as a result. Moffett Brothers &
Andrews then brought suit against the
Santa Fee for the loss they had sus-
tanned which amounted to about $4,-
600.

RESENT A STUBS PAROLE.
Sedan Citizens Had Protested Against
Glenn DarneIrs Release.

NI0lH DdFuO1IS 16010dSc.
Sedan, Kan, March 27.-There is re-
sentiment here against the parole of
Glen DarnelI who shot and killed
Bud" Wilson, a Sedan city marshal,
in August, 1899 DarneH was paroled
Tuesday by Governor Stubs after serv-
ing eleven years and six months of a
life sentence. He is now about 3S years
old. He came directly home, arriving
at Peru and going to the home of his
aged parents near here.
In August, 1899, Darnell was wanted
on a charge of horsestealing. He could
not be found by the officers, although
they frequently received word from
him asking them to come and get him.
When they would go to the place he
had given he would not. be there, and
their chase would prove fruitless. Tir
ing of this he armed himself and his
cousin Mark Darnell, then only 16
years old. with revolvers and Win
chesters and drove to Sedan. Stopping
in the edge of town he sent word to
the sheriff that he was there and ready
to be taken.
The sheriff sent word back that he
was i'll and for Darnell to come to the
Jail if he wanted anything. Darnell
and his cousin then drove to the jail,
and the Sheriff went out and talked to
them in the buggy for half an hour.
1t was then that Bud Wilson, the
city marshal approached and demand
ed that the Darnells surrender. Instead
of surrendering they opened fire upon
him and the sheriff, too. Wilson was
SO badly wounded that he died six hours
later The sheriff, o. G. Kiser. was
shot in the arm.
The Darnells then escaped and were
not caught until some time later. Feel
ing here was so bitter against them
that the jail was guarded night after
night for fear of mob. Both were
sent to the penitentiary. The younger
Darnell was paroled two or three years
ago.

West Mineral, Kan, March ~
Even though Dusin Ivkisich, owner of
a pool hall in West Mineral, is an Aus

things said about Uncle Sans flag.
So when Dan Lukisich, also an Aus

rag, the latter swore to a warrant

The case came up in police court a

into custody. He said he was joking
Ivkisich about his flag and furnished
bond for his appearance for trial Tues
