Senator William Price Behind Lyon
County State Bank.

Senator William NJ. Price, of Green
wood county, is spending his time be-
tween sessions of legislature in
launching a new bank at Emporia The
new institution, the Lyon County State
bank, was opened for business this
month with Senator Price as it's pres
ident.
When the new bank was opened for
business, its president issued a state
ment which made the other banks in
the town arrange to shift policies The
Lyon County State bank announced
that it would keep open house until 9
o'clock on Mondays and saturdays and
on Santa Fe pay days. 1t was a new
venture in Emporia and the policy is
said to have Immediately assured the
popularity of the new institution. SEN
ator Price will move to Emporia this
fall from Madison, where he has for
eight years been cashier of the First
National bank.

if they have been engaged in business
in this state. Whether this is the
case is question of fact 10 which the
evidence now before the court war
rants an affirmative answer. The
MounDays have been acting profess
edly for the corporations, doing busi-
ness in their name. They assert now
that they had no authority to do so. In
that case they have wrongfully as
sumed to exercise corporate functions
and this court has jurisdiction over
them in this action to oust them there
from.

ly engaged in business here. The

BIG PEACE BOND
One Fixed at $4,000 for JO-
hanna Adams.
BIuecOatS' Lives Unsafe When
She Is at Large.

This is a cold and cruel world. VINO
says so? Johanna Adams. The courts
have been dealing out convict pie, and
sliced Mrs. Bee Adams a big share
of it. Last week she was acquitted on
a technicality in the district court.
Yesterday she wept for her husband
who departed with an armed guard
for the state pen Today she was
placed under $500 peace bond by
Judge Robert Carver, who touched
scathingly upon her past mlsdeeds,
Mrs. Adams donned her sunbonnet
and stalked silently from the city
court, leading the long line of police
men whose evidence had convicted her
Mrs Adams was charged with as
sault and battery and resisting an Of
ficer. She was fined 5000 and, at the
suggestion of w E. Atchison and W
G. RaIson. placed under the largest
peace bond that has been imposed in
the city courts for months.
The room was filled with bluecoated
officers who testified their lives were
in danger as long as the belligerent
Mrs. Adams remained at large. She
had threatened to kill several of them
with a gun, with brick, with a frying
pan.
1T is a dangerous thing to allow
this person on the Streets said City
Attorney Ralston, who assisted Mr..
AtchiSOn in the prosecution. ''On be-
half of the police officers I recommend
that she be placed under a peace bond
of $5,OO0.''
If the court please, interposed the
county attorney, "the officers believe
that each time they do work in Mrs.
Adams neighborhood, they take their
life in their hands. A large peace bond
Will protect the defendant, and save
her from being tried for murder within
the next five months"
The first witness for the state was Off
Ger E. F. Ferguson. He was assaulted
by Mrs. Adams who shied a brick at him
and tore his star from his breast. Fergu-
son was raiding the house of Oliver Will
son, 3O6 Crane street, four doors east of
the Adams residence. When he left the
house with triumph and a barrel of beer,
Mrs. Adams presented herself.
rs he going to cart that beer away?''
she is reported as saying.
YEP said Wilson
BY golly," announced Mrs. Adams, The
WON'T
Trouble began. Mrs. Adams picked up a
brick, which grazed Ferguson's face.
threatened to kill him-shoot him-hang
him-knock his head off with skillet.
Fergusons evidence was corroborated
by Officers Brown and Harmon. Half
dozen other policemen testified that Mrs.
Adams had threatened to annihilate sew
eral members of the Topeka force.
Il am quite convinced the defendant is
guilty" was Judge Garver's decision;
she has been causing us more or less
trouble for years. Her assaulting a police
officer is ridiculous. The court fines her
$500 and requires her to give peace bond
of $500 within the afternoon"

IT Was A DEUCE
Greatest Rain Ever Known at
Delaware Water Gap.
Railroad Tracks Undermined
Signal Tower Washed Away.

Easton, Pa, Aug. 2.-The Upper
Delaware valley struggled today to get
itself. untangled from the mass OF
debris and wreckage caused by the
cloudburst of yesterday. Railroads of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
and the Pennsylvania were badly
washed. The Lackawanna succeeded
during the night in removing hun
dreds of tons of dirt and rocks from
the tracks at the Delaware Water Gap
and opening the road in that section.
The damage at Manunka Chunk, N. J.,
the junction of the Pennsylvania and
Lackawanna railroads, has not yet
been repaired. Here the tracks were
undermined and the operators tower
was carried away on the rising waters
of the Delaware river. There is noth-
ing in local history to compare with
the storm in the neighbOrhood of the
Water Gap and thousands of summer
visitors to that resort had thrilling eX-
perienceS.
Rain began falling at noon and con-
tinued with cloudburst proportions for
four hours, without a moments inter-
rUption. The water rushed down the
mountain sides in torrents and wore
guIleys eight and ten feet deep. At
the base of the mountain stands the
Delaware house. Through this build
ing the water rushed as though the
house stood in the middle of a stream.
The guests were taken to higher
ground.
In the upper section of Northamp-
ton county, Pennsylvania, the storm
ragged furiOuSly for hours, washing out
roads and doing other damage.
Many persons on their way from
were detained in Easton
