In U. S. COURT.
Kaw Valley Drainage Case Set for
November 25.

The district court of the United
States opened in the federal building
this morning five minutes after Judge
J. c. Pollock's train pulled in. Harry
Bone, McCabe Moore, Charles S.
Briggs, John r. Harrison and Morton
Albaugh were all present, and the court
room was filled with lawyers, attorneys
and jurors from all over the state. 1t
is probable the Topeka term will be ex-
ceedingly busy, and will last at least a
month. The Kaw Valley Drainage case
and the suit against S. NJ. Pfckens, of
Thayer are the most important men
tons on the trial docket.
A motion was put on file to take
deposition of the Wells Lonsberry case.
I'VE can't get the witnesses here
said d. c. Tillotson, attorney for the
train robber; 'it is physically and
financially impossible
The deposition was accordingly
granted by the judge.
The case of the Kaw Valley drainage
concern versus the Fowler Packing
bred thousand dollars, has been
definitely set for Monday, November %,
and will probably occupy the following
four weeks.
The trial of S. NJ. Pfckens is set for
this afternoon. Pickens was one of the
officers of the Thayer National bank,
which failed about a year ago. He is
charged with abstracting funds and
making false entries of the company's
books.
The petit jury is composed of the fol-
lowing men: August Jaedicke Han
