Santa Fe. Kan, April 22.-W. F.
Hall, a farmer living near here, has
a grievance against the famous west
ern Kansas winds. A stack of alfalfa

to neighbors, have left their favorite
stalls and taken quarters in the field
of cured hay. Hall says the case is
one in which it is hard to get owners
to claim their lost stock.

Not Mark Smiths Fault.

A Washington dispatch of Oc-
tober 9th says;
THE senate at the last mo-
ment rejected Senator Smiths
amendment to the urgent def
cheney bill, which provided for
the payment of the claims of
citizens of Ell Paso, Texas, and
Douglas, Arizona, for damages
sustained during the fighting of
the Madero revolution. The
claims aggregated $72, 900, as
follows: Adolfo Varela, So, 900;
Virginia Morehead, $4,000; Album
do Soto, $4,000; Edwin G. Heat
on, $1,000; Celia Griffiths. SIS: :
COO; A. r. Chandler, $12, 900, all
of FL Paso; Emma Larson, $1,000;
Elmer E. Grow, S., 900; Francis
F. Williams, $5OOO;- john W.
Keat, $4,000; Joseph w. Harring-
ton, SIS, 1000; William r. White,
$1,000; all of Douglas, Arizona.
1.-THE action of the senate in
rejecting these claims means
that there will be no chance to
have them considered again by
congress until the December
session.
Rejection of the amendment
was caused by the belief of a
majority of the senators, headed
by senator Overman, Of North
Carolina, that questions grow
ing out of the Mexican war
ought not to be settled in an
urgent deficiency bill. Senator
Smith will again push the claims
at the December session"
