POWERS LOSES SUIT

Judge Linville was busy Mon
day AFTERNOON hearing the case of
J. F. Hansen VS.. James Prowers,
the case being decided by the jury
in favor of the plaintiff.
1t seems that MIR. Hansen had
boarded some horses at the
Powers barn for some time, and
upon calling for the animals he
was refused possession on the
grounds that he owed bill for
their feed. This Mr.. Hansen
contested on the grounds that
Powers had worked the animals
and had hired same out to other
parties, until the bill for their
use far offset the bill of Powers.
The jury seemed inclined to be-
lieve Mr.. Hansen and rendered a
verdict in his favor.
The case had first been on the
docket in the justice court of ].
w. Wilkin, being removed to
Justice Linville's court on a
change of venue.
CRANKY Hillyer appeared for
the plaintiff, while the defend
ant was represented by w. P.

FLOODS HERE CAUSE
BUT SMALL DAMAGE
Water 0omes Up Quickly but
Bridge Here Kept Free
From prittWood.

The floods which visited this
section the past week did consid-
cradle damage, and in south of
here, just in Oklahoma, two little
children were drowned.
At Lamar the A. Y. bridge was
washed out. All along the river
wagon bridges were more or less
damaged and it is reported that
not a bridge is left in Hamilton
county. Kans. The bridge south
of Holly was only very slightly
damaged.
The town ofEranada was under
water and at different points
along the line the Santa Fe road
bed was damaged.
The was a bad break in the Fl.
Lyons canal and big force of
men was put to work repairing
the break, so that it was under
control after a bout fourteen
hours. 1t looked as though this
damage would result in a short
age of water, owing to the fact
that this ditch is used as feeder
for the reservoirs, but when the
repairs were promptly made the
flood waters were turned into
the reservoirs.
Locally there was very little
damage. The water got up over
the lowlands and covered the
road south frbm town but it was
not washed opt any. j. P. Hav-
lick reports that the rainfall here
was 4.01 inches.
