HANSON LOSES A SUIT.
Judge Whitcomb Sustains Motion to
Dismiss Damage Suit

John Hanson, the Mcpherson attorney
and insanity expert lost another case to-
day. when Judge Whitcomb bodily ditch
ed the action which Hanson filed some
weeks ago against T. c. BiddIe superin-
tendent of the Topeka hospital and
members of the board of control Han
son asked 5000 damages from BiddIe and
members of the board.
Some months ago when Hanson was
seized with a desire to have all the in
mates of the asylum restored to liberty
he was denied admittance to the asylum
to talk to prospective clients. This action
ground on the Mcpherson lawyers nerves
and he declared that the attitude of Bid
die and others was infringing on his con-
stituuonal liberties and destroying his
practice. He then brought suit for 5000
damages
Recently motions were filed in the dis
tfict court asking to have the Hanson
petition stricken from the records. Han
son was not in court when the motion
docket was called today and Judge Whit
comb sustained the motion.

FOX FARMING PAYS.
So Does Raising Of Beaver, Mink,
Otter and Martin.

Washington Dec. 3O.=Fox farming
is probably the most profitable agri-
cultural industry in the world. This
was what J. Walter Jones of the de-
partment of agriculture told the
American Breeders association here.
At the suggestion of Secretary of Ag
riculture Wilson. Mr.. Jones made an
Investigation of the fox farms of Can
ada, where d practical monopoly of
the business is enjoyed, with the idea
of trying to interest Americans in the
work
Natural black fox sets sell at from
So, 900 to $4,000 a set" MI. Jones
said. Next years expected crop OF
pups already has been sold for $4,000
a pair.
1.-The increasing scarcity of costly
furs," he declared, land the greatly in
creased demand makes the significance
of breeding in captivity the more inn
portant. 1t is probable that within a
year or two the breeders will be rear
ing mink, martin. offers and beavers.
Skill such as only trapper or a close
student of nature can achieve is neces-
sary in the successful breeding of the
shy and nervous Reynard.
''The so-called black fox is the skin
of the timber wolf. the half wild dog
of Manchuria or cheap American fox
dyed black. Only a few dozen genu-
inc black foxes have been caught year
~: and most of them have gone to
the nobility of Europe, principally
those of Russia and Austria

General Manager Gruber's car was at

car We're the only ones to remain on
the rails.
The fatalities occurred in the dining
car and the bodies We're burned by fire
which originated in the debris. With
the thermometer registering II below
zero and with a twelve-mile wind
blowing, the injured passengers and
train men suffered before they could
be given aid. The general managers
Transformed into temporary hospitals
for the victims. while others were
taken to farm houses.
Sharon sent citizens to the rescue
also and they worked all morning car
ing for the injured. The heavy loco

broken place, but the next four cars
toppled over and slid down 15-foot
embankment, landing on their sides
The first search for bodies revealed
three dead under one of the PuIIraans
and the groans and moaning of the
injured piniOned under the wreck in

serious plight.
In the meantime the wreckage had

as he was being carried to one of the

Passengers on the train are confident
that the list of dead will be greater than

was so thorough that many were pinioned
down under heavy beams and the fire
started so quickly that the uninjure1 had
