Three Million
Dollar Suit

One of the largest judgement.
ever granted in this section of the
state was that of Friday in Ere
donia when Judge Finley gave to
Axel E. Johnson S45, ,1oS.47, the
defendant being the Kansas Natural
Gas Co. The amount asked for
was $3, 200, ooo' The case was
hotly contested and eight days were
consumed in getting the evidence
before the court.
Axel Johnson left his home in
Wilson county near Villas at the age
of IS years, to see the world. He
went to the state of Montana where
he became a sheep shearer and
later held the worlds record for
four years. For years he was
prompt in writing to the folks at
home but finally without any cause
ceased writing. Later his father
died. Nothing was heard of him
for seven or eight years and he was
supposed to be dead.
His mother and the other children
leased the homestead to the Gas
company on proposition whereby |
the company was to pay 5000 a
year for not to exceed four gas wells
and SI2oo per year for more than
four, and not exceeding wells.
Some of the largest gas wells in
Kansas were found on this farm.
The company did not secure Axel's
signature to the lease as his where
abouts were unknown. In 1910 he
wrote home asking about his mother
and the other members of the fam.
lily. He then learned of the big F.,
value, in gas that the Kansas Natural
Gas Co. had secured several hun I
dred thousand dollars from the [
farm. He at once consulted L. 7. a
O'Donnell of Denver, Colo, who is t
one of the most able lawyers in the t
United States. After being advised r
that he could recover from the gas
company the value of his I-I2 in
terest in the gas sold from the farm
and that the company could not :,
cause his mother any trouble, he .
sent his attorney to Pittsburg, Pa, :,
% make written demand on the
company for settlement of his
share of the gas, but the company !,
'efused to allow him any thing at :,
Ill so he Immediately filed suit in

INHAMBANE, East Africa
Sept. 16.-Mere man has failed
again-dismally, totally failed!
The dusky girls of these parts
have won a glorious victory!
They don't have to wear skirts If
they don't want to. And they
don't want to, so there you are!
A few weeks ago the governor
ordered the women to wear
skirts
Now. all the, women of the col
ony have always dressed in a few
beads, a bracelet and a broad
smile.
The Begun lady pillow pullers
met and denounced the governor
in unmeasured terms.
Down with your law! No
skirts or no vegetables" yelled a
parading bunch of gardenesses,
for the women do the farm work
here.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-09-16

1--WE refuse to be bound In
skirts, and we don't give a hang
what you reformers say!" taunt-
ingly shouted a group of anti
skirtettes as they rioted in front
of the governors house..
The governor stuffed pillows in
| the broken windows, and modi-
fled his law SO that skirts would
only have to be worn ON the
streets.
Wear skirts yourselves!" a
very brunei damsel shrieked in
the governors secretary's right
ear, while another neatly bounced
stone off his other ear.
'If you don't like us without
skirts, look the other way!" was
the refrain of the anti-skirtettes'
marching song.
Then the African bellies hit the
white men folks right in the
stomach. They refused to bring
any more vegetables to town, and
the women who lived in town be-
gan moving out. The white folks
had to do their own homework,
and the green goods groceries
closed shop.
That settled it; the governor
crawled into hole and pulled the
hole in after him. He squashed
his skirt law.
The antiskirtettes marched
proudly through the conquered
city, with skirt, the sign of their
threatened bondage, trailing in
the dust
The bashful men reformers
have sent to London for binders
and colored eye glasses.
