ASKS DAMAGES FOR ARREST.
Old Soldier Says He Was Wronefully
Held and Fined.

lola, Kan, Oct. 29.-J. A. Huff of
ottawa has brought suit in the dis
trict court here to recover $2,0O6.5O
damages from James Frederickson,
marshal of Bassett, and Fred Mabray,
police Judge of BaSSett. On the after
noon of October %, 1912, according to
the plaintiff he was arrested by Mar
shall Frederickson and placed in the
Bassett Jail. He had violated no law,
Huff says, and protested that he was
an old soldier of good repute and
begged to be allowed to telephone to
F. A. Baldwin, county clerk at OF
tawa Kansas, to establish this fact
and to further show that he was past
so years of age.
This request, the petitioner ayers,
was refused. Later, it is alleged, Fred
Mabray acting police judge. appeared
and demanded the payment of fine
of $3.50. The defendant says he only
had $3.50 in cash but he gave that and
his watch as security for the balance
and obtained his release. Later, Huff
says, he redeemed his watch. paying
the balance alleged to be due under
protest. The petitioner further
charges that he was arrested without
warrant: called a liar and compelled
to spend two hours in the Bassett Jail,
which he declared to be foul, filthy
and dirty. For the humiliation and
mental distress imposed upon him by
the alleged false arrest, Huff demands
the pawn mt of 81, 600 as damages and
the recovery of $3.50 paid as fine.

JOY as much freedom as does fne aV-

vision of Deputy Warden Mackey
these men are constructing, without

The men have given their word that
they will make no attempt to escape,
so no guards are placed over them.
The average person would think that
the gang was one employed by prl-

they are clothed.
There is now in process of con-

SHE SAW MISSING JEwELRY.
Close Observing Girl Receivers JewelrS
STOLEN From BUGGY.

Coffeyville. Kan, Oct. 29.-The close
observation of Miss Gladys Long, depu-
ty city clerk, has resulted in the re-
cOvery of the jewelry stolen from the
buggy of A. M. Baker and the detec-
ton of the alleged thieves.
A negro went into the city clerk S
office to register. AS he was signing
his name, George Davis, Miss Long
noticed a lady's ring on one of his
fingers. She thought it was one of
several stolen from Mrs. Baker, her
cousin, and after the negro departed
informed City Clerk Elliott of her
suspicious.
Policeman Walton was called and
soon returned with Davis. The ring
was shown Miss Long and she was
positive in her identif1catiOn The
negro, a very much surprised man,
was led below, where Mrs. Bakers
watch, her initials engraved on it, was
found in his pockets. He claimed to
have bought the jewelry of two differ

the jewelry was recovered.

substantiating it

other records substantiating it to
prove conclusiveIy that 81 e is the legal
and rightful widow of the late veteran,
the far reaching effect or a disastrous
cyclone was brought to light. This
was one of the damaging occurrences
which took place and which only be
came known years afterwards.
In a cyclone that struck the Ray
mond home eight years ago, the house
was completely demolished and all
valuable papers destroyed. Among
them were the marriage certificate of
Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond, together with
the marriage license issued to them
A few years ago the husband, who
was a veteran of the civil war, died.
He had been receiving a pension
which, under the federal statutes,
should revert to the widow. Before
this is done, the widow must furnish
the federal pension department with
proof of legal marriage, and that she
is the rightful widow of the pensioner.

to put Kansas City, Kan, the map"
This slogan which ran through a series
of speeches at the mass meeting in the
city hall building here voiced the senti-
ments of the representative citizens of
the city, who crowded the commission
chamber. The crowd voted unanimously
in favor of a resolution asking the city
commissioners to demand a union depot
for Kansas City, Kan, from the Kansas
City Terminal company in return for
the franchise for a right of way they
are seeking through the city.
The resolutions set forth the fact that
Kansas City, Kan, is the ninth city in
manufacturing Importance in the United
States and that its welfare involves that
of 122,o00 people who inhabit it. They
even go so far as to threaten a divorce
from Kansas City, Mo-, by securing
legal change of name for the city the
Kansas side of the state line, should
such action be necessary to further its
interests in the fight for the union depot.

LAND ON NEW LINE SELLS WE'LL.
Fine Homes Will Be Built by Time
Trains Come.

Garden City, Kan, Oct. 29.-Re-
ports from the counties traversed by
the Santa Fe's new Colmor cutoff indi-
cate that the sale of land to bona fide
settlers in that section has been
phenomenal. When the road was
projected the company's first step was
to buy up for sale 5000 acres to sell
on easy terms to intending settlers so
as to populate the territory. traversed.
The new road will, when finished, cut
down the mileage to the coast fifty
miles and avoid the heavy freight haul
via Ration Pass and the company
seems much interested in the new
lines success. It has pushed the land
sale and the plan has proved a winner.
All the tracts in Grav county are
sold and the sales in Haskell, Stevens
and Morton are progressing rapidly.
The new settlers. encouraged by the
recent heavy yield in that section are
putting in large wheat acreage, being
enabled to do so largely by the futile
work of the hJrse plague in the coun-
ties mentioned. BY the time the COM
pany gets the tracks rock ballasted
and diverts it's best trains their way,
they hope to have fine homes for the
passengers to view from the car win

HOG CHOLERA LATEST PEST.
Farmers Heavy Losers in Western
Kansas EpideInicS.

Smith Center. Kan, Oct. 29.-Hog
cholera has broken out in Smith
county again and scores of farmers
north of Lebanon have been heavy
losers in the last ten days. Like the
recent horse epidemic nothing seems
to do any good toward stopping it and
when it starts in on a herd of swim
it rarely leaves any of them alive
Last year the malady swept away
thousands of head and this fall finds
many farmers without a hog on their
farms
Scandal, kan. Oct. 29.-Reports
from the country districts indicate that
hog cholera is becoming more or less
prevalent in this and adjoining sec
tions. There is not much of an over
supply of hogs in the country at pres
ent and the farmers are becoming
fearful lest the dread malady again
become epidemic, or as general over
the country as it has been the past
year or so, as hogs are valuable prop
erty at the present high prices.
