KANSAS TOWN KILLED OFF DOGS
Extermlnated all But Two out of 200
at Potter, and no Resentment
Was Aroused.

Leavenworth, Kansas.-A dog war
was waged at Potter, small town
between here and Atchison, recently
and it came near being war of eX-
termination, as only two out of 200
dogs escaped with their lives. The
dogs were so numerous that it was
necessary to do something. At first
the dogs were killed under cover of
darkness, but finally several residents
of the town became more bold and
began killing the dogs in daylight.
The most remarkable feature of this
dog war was that in only one or two
instances did the owners of the dogs
slaughtered show any inclination to
become angered.

that could be heard for miles the Mis-

feet wide in the levee and the swirling
current is fast eating away the earth

In the onward rush the Mississippi
has now reached a flood stage almost
to Natchez, Miss, and hundreds OF
men are at work on the levee in the
newly menaced territory stopping
small breaks and strengthening spots

DUR ESCAPES PAYING RENT
ACCRUED ON FORT ST. LINE
Circuit Judges Haven't Changed
Minds on This Feature
of Decree

In an informal argument between
Attorneys Fred A, Baker, Hinton Il.
Spaiding and Harry Lister, repre-
| soA,.as,. ,ne 40. l.. ~. ana Iorpora.lon
Counsel Lawson, representing the
city, which was heard by Judges Man
dell, Hosmer and Murphy, Monday
morning, 1t was made clear that the
company will not be made to pay the
accrued rental on the Fort-st. line, at
the rate of 5000 day, from the time
the ordinance was passed by the com
mon council until suit was filed.
The argument was held for the pur'
pose of attempting to agree on the
terms OF the decree which is now be-
ing prepared and which will be signed
in few days. At the time the judg-
ment upholding the city's right to
charge rent for the use of the street
was handed down the court held that
the city had not the right to collect
accrued rental, and this position was
not changed, Monday, as result OF
the argument.
The decree will give the d. u. Il
ten days In which to elect whether tC
pay the rent, or vacate the street
and the manner Of enforcing the de
cree was the cause of considerable
argument
Mr.. Lawson argued that the city
IN case the ID. u. r. would not pay
had the right to declare the tracks =
nuisance, and remove them. Mr
Baker claimed that the city had not
the right TO enforce the decree. but
should apply 10 the courts for writ
OF assistance.
"And that means another lawsuit
and the consequent delay" MIR. Law
son said.
I'VE have great respect for thi;
court, but | can tell you that the ID
IL r. is not going to stop its cars or
the order of mere decree" Mr.. Baker
said. I'VE claim that the cars Should
he stopped with the aid OF writ oI
as sstance. placed In the hands OF the
sheriff"
Mr.. Baker then argued at greai
length that't the city had not the right
10 take the law into its own hands and
enforce the courts decree, ana quoted
extensively from great stack of Law
books he had in front of him TO prove
his contention.
The time to be allowed the ID. u. r
to remove its tracks In case they de
eide TO take that course, also caused
some discussion. Mr.. Baker claimed
they should be given at least threc
months after the cars are stopped un
III the tracks are removed.
ut could not be done in less time,
he said, "and il could not be done a
all In this weather.
"Is there any objection to thatg
Judge Murphy asked.
"Yes, very serious objection, Mr
Lawson said The city would ther
-upahle-te- put -ether-cars- -in-s-thS
street for three months"
The different objections and re
quests were carefully noted by tht
Judges, and decree was promised IL
few days.
