The position that Woodrow Wilson

BUSINESS FEUD CASE IS UP.
Assault With Intent to Kill Charge
Against shannon.

Chanute, Kan. Feb. IA trial in
which great interest is shown in this
county, because of the prominence of

was called upon to defend himself in
district court against the accusation of

Shannon is the cashier of the St.
Paul State bank, of which John w.
Prudential was president. O'Bryan
is stockholder in the Mission State
bank of St Paul and a member of its
board of directors.
The attack was made in a barber
shop the evening before last Thanks

Using an epithet Shannon exclaimed,

cooked revolver at O'Bryan. The lat

and the bullet passed through the
ceiling.
There were several in the shop. They
disarmed Shannon and made O'Bryan.

James A. Farrell, president of the Uni

Mr. Farrell said that beginning abou-
1890, the railroads of the United States
began asking for higher carbon in steel
rails to secure great wear and that the

under protest, made The quality Of steel

As a result of the continued demand
by the railroad by the railroads for q
higher carbon content, Mr. Farrell eN-
pressed the opinion that rail steel, to
day, is within the danger zone of brit
tleness. That the railniaker or makers
cannot be held responsible is pointed
out in another statement made by Mr..
Howard. which follows: 1T is not

facture of steel, further than that thu
mills are making the steel which they
are required to make under the specit1-

The problem of safe railroad trans
portation is evidently up to the rail-
roads To minimize breakage, they
must be prepared TO face greater
wear on steel rails and as safety IS
the first consideration. a softer steel
with a lower carbon content is essen
tiaI. A heavier rail, made of softer
steel than now specified, may greatly
reduce the rapidity of wear now antici-

Indiana Man at Last Finds
Daughter and Woman.
George Mcdonald Tells of Kid
mapping in Spokane.
HE SEEKS NO REVENGE
Woman Loves Child That Be-
longs to Another.
Chase Over Country May End
in Kansas.

Chanute, Kan, Feb. 16.-George M.
Mcdonald of Seymour, Ind, is in the
city trying to obtain his 7-year- old
daughter, who, he says, was taken
from him three years ago while he
and his wife lived in Spokane, Wash.
The child was spirited away by his
| brothers wife, he says. He has fol-
lowed them all over the country, but
never caught up with them until ne
arrived here Now that his quest has
been successful he is in doubt how he
should proceed to get the child.
According to his story, which seems
to be corroborated by many documents
and newspaper clippings, his daughter
had been visiting at the home of his
brother, J. M. Mcdonald, who refused
TO allow her to come home AS a last
resort writ Of habeas corpus was
gotten out and the court ordered the
child delivered to him. Before it was
possible for the court to act Mrs. J.
M. Mcdonald and the child disappear
ed. While they had been located sew
eral times since then, the child was
never found until last Saturday, when
the local police discovered them at the
home Of G. A. Griffin here, where they
had been lodging for some time.
The information leading to their
finding was furnished by the chief of
police of Kansas City, where J. M.
Mcdonald had gotten into trouble and
had the police take him to an office
to telegraph here for money to secure
the police also sent a message to the
local officers, asking them to hold the
wife and child, if the child was here,
until they had word from George Nc
Donald of Indiana.
This was done, but when Mcdonald
arrived he had no warrants, so Chief
of Police Swartz gave the child and
the woman their liberty. This they
refused, saying that they were afraid
of getting into trouble in some man
ner.
Mr.. Mcdonald went to Erie and
consulted the county attorney, but is
rather reticent about the advice given
him. He notified the authorities at
Spokane and is waiting to hear from
them.
He is feeling confident, now that he
will be able to get possession of her,
and that is all that he wants. While
a person convicted of kidnapping in
the state of Washington is liable to
life imprisonment, he says he does not
care for revenge. All he asks is to
have his child.
Tt was not possible to see Mrs. Nc
Donald, but it is understood that she
has documents of an entirely different
persecution. She does not deny that
the child was kidnapped, but says that |
it was the girls sister who did the
work and that even now there are
cards all over the states Offering a |
reward for their apprehension
Why the uncle's wife should want |
to keep the child. Mcdonald declares |
he is unable to understand except that |
she became very fond of her and hated |
said, claims that the father ought not /
to have the child.
