TAFT STAYS At HIS DESK
SERENE AND CONFIDENT
Will Attend Ball Game This
Afternoon, Regardless of
Chicago Contest.

President Taft went right on with rou-
tine work at the White House today as
II no such thing as a national conven-
ton were being held. He did not go to
the executive offices early, remaining at
the library in the private part of the
White House, where he talked over the
long distance telephone with Represent
alive Mckinley and Secretary Hilles.
After being informed in detail as to the
situation the President went to the execu-
tive Offices and began going over papers
and giving directions. The White House
officials stated that the President would
go to the ball game in the afternoon. de-
spite the bowling fight that would be go
ing on in the Coliseum at Chicago.
All who saw the President said that he
WAS as unruffied as ever, and pointed to
the fact that yesterday afternoon. while
Col. Roosevelt raved and threatened, the
President played a full game of golf at
tho Chevy Chase Golf Club, being en-
tirely away from connections with Chi
cago.
Cabinet Session Held.
The cabinet meeting was held at the
usual hour. IL o'clock, departmental

INTERESTING CASE
TRIED IN COUNTY
COURT THURSDAY


A case of unusual interest to stock
men was heard before Judge Cooper
in county court on Thursday in which
Claude Seybert was plaintiff and
Robt w. Foster defendant Suit was
brought to recover the sum of one
thousand dollars paid by the COM
plainant to Mr. Foster a year or SO
ago. for. which it was alleged. he re-
ceived no adequate return. Mr.. Fos-
ter accepted the money in settlement
of controversy that existed between
himself and Mr.. Seybert in relation
to some cattle and no ulterior motive
is attributed to him in doing so by
those familiar with the details of the
transaction. The trial of the matter
attracted great attention among
ranchers and others and the court
room was crowded with people who
know something of the question at
issue. Not being able to get through
with the testimony at the afternoon
sitting of the court a night session
was held and the case was not given
to the jury until 1870 O'Clock. Half
an hour later an agreement was
reached and sealed verdict was de-
livered into the keeping of the sheriff
and presented to the court this morn
ing. The verdict was for the COM
plainant and gave him Judgment for
the amount prayed for in the petit
tion.
The attention of the court today
has been occupied very largely in
hearing the case of W H. Murray Of
Parkdaie against the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company for killing
four head of cattle belonging to him.
The cattle in question. it is stated in
the complaint. were killed in 1909 IN
the operation of the company's trains
through the negligence of the de-
fendant to maintain a proper fence
along its right of way as safeguard
against such accidents. In 1890. Mr..
Murray states in his complaint. he
sold the company a certain strip OF
land for the sum of FIVE hundred dol
lars. at which time the defendant. he
alleges. entered into an agreement
with him to keep the property fenced
in such a manner as to prevent stock
from getting over TO it to the rail-
road tracks where they would be en-
dangered by the running OF the
trains. This compact. Mr.. Murray
says. has not been kept by the COM
pany and he asks judgment for the
value of the stock killed.
