McCue, the Finney county land owner

The Haskell county district court had

Had McCue lost this suit it would

WHEELS OF JUSTICE NOT SLOW
Marshall County Court Disposes of
Docket in Record Time.

Marysville, Kan, Oct 10.-'HThe
wheels OF justice turn slowly is the
old saying used in connection with
the trial of cases at law. However, in
the case of the present docket at this
term of court being held here the
phrase misses the mark widely. Since
court convened Monday over forty of
the eighty-one cases docketed had
been disposed of by Judge Sam Kim
BILE and of the remaining cases those
which were to come to jury trial were
set before adjournment was taken
until next Monday. OF the cases dis
posed of but few were continued to
the next term
Judge W. s. Glass, counsel in a
great number of the cases docketed
who has been confined to his home
for the past year recovering from
stroke of paralysis, was able to be in
attendance at court.

Santa Fe also. In this he failed, and
his fiancial dilemma became such that
he had to make big loan from the Com
monwealth Trust company of st. Louis
to finish the construction.
His company, the Kansas Construc-
ton company, had $S25,000 in bonds
$4,000 in aid notes, $4,000 in munich
pal bonds and $425 900 of stock. All
this was turned over to the ST. Louis
concern as a pledge for a loan of $780,
900 to complete the road
In order to finance his new road,
McCue had to also give the trust COM
pany a mortgage on all of his real es-
tate holdings to the amount of $780,
600.
This land was appraised at $500, 1000,
and was mortgaged as chattel secur-
ity on this loan which McCue had
made for his railway. The land in
cludes % quarter sections in Haskell
county, and extensive farm land hold
ings in Finney and Cove counties in
western Kansas, Anderson and Chero-
kee counties in eastern Kansas, in
Atchison, Adair, Carroll and Holt
counties, Missouri, Fremont and Pot
tawatomie counties, Iowa, and city
property in Council Bluffs, Ia.
When the trust company foreclosed
on the railway some time ago. action
was brought to foreclose the mortgage
on McCue, maintained that the trust
company had converted to its own use
the stock and bonds of the railway
and sensational allegations of fraud
were made.
1t was on this ground that McCue
won his case. The court held that the
trust company by converting to it's
own use this collateral of the railway
company had thereby been fully paid,

The merchants remained silent on
the proposition, which means that
they didn't like it and wouldn't en-
dorse it. When Mr.. Magee, undis-
mayed, said that he couldn't be held
back by little thing like that of fail
ing to get $4,000.
My company is able to build the
road, and will build it anyway" he
said. Then he went on to tell what
resources he had back of him. He
named the people he represents to
only a few Lawrence men. He is said
to represent the Helm interests but
only one or two men in town know
whether he does or not.
