WATER SUIT POSTPONED
Taking of Testimony Will Be Re-
sumed After Election

Secretary Hall of the Arkansas Valley
Ditch association yesterday received no.
tioe from Garden City, Kan. that the
taking of testimony in the Kansas Colo
rado water suit had been adjourned until
after the election,
The hearing was commenced in the U.
S. circuit court at Garden City on Mon
day and has proceeded very slowly. the
court going into the evidence very thor
oughly and the testimony being taken by
a stenographer appointed by the circuit
Judge. so the case is going to be long
drawn out affair. In fact the complain
ants attorneys have already announced
that it will take at least six months to
present their testimony. The defense will
require fully as long. and then there's the
summing up, etc, so that the case is
likely to be hoary with age before it is
decided.

Before his escape from the dismantled
cab the engineer was badly scalded about

BIC PRISON FIRE
LOOKS LIKEPLOT
Factory Burns at Chicago, I'm
periIing Hundreds in Cells.
Guards Prevent Escapes.

CHICAGO May %. An investigation
of a fire which burned the broom fac
tory al the Bridewell and threatened
the lives of hundreds Of prisoners early
today has been begun by the county
authorities
1t has been rumored that the fire
was incendiary and was part ofia plot
for wholesale delivery of prisoners.
The burned factory was 80 feet from
two cell houses in which<1 900 prison
ers were confined. Dense volumes Of
smoke poured through the barred win
dows of the cell house.
II is the belief of the authorities that
the fife may have been started in order
10 force a transfer Of prisoners to an
other cell building and that in the con
fusion break for liberty would be
made. The prisoners at the Bridewelr
do not wear stripes.
The prlsoneres were ordered by the
guards to lie fiat on the floor Careful
watch was kept to begin the transfer if
it became actually necessary but the
fire was eXtinguished before the lives
of the prisoners were actually endan-
gered.
