Jury Decides veteran Competent
10 spend Ills 1000 q Year.

A Sheriffs Jury which included several
wall Street brokers was summoned be-
fore three Supreme Court commissioners
yesterday to determine the mental condi-
ton of Franklin n. Veteran OF 323 East
Fffty-hrst street, who has been in River
crest Sanitarium. One of the questions
asked was whether man could travel
between his house and a saloon fifteen
times In twenty minutes and stop long
enough for n drink of whslSey each time
II was contended In behalf OF Veteran
that while the first few trips might he
thirsty traveller would diminish toward
the finish, not only because the load
would be heavier on each succeeding trip,
but because n carrier of alcohol Is likely
to depart further from straight line be-
tween two given points az the load in
creases. The witness who gave the testi-
mony stuck to his story, although he ad-
mitted 1t sounded improbable.
The proceeding to adiudge Veteran in
competent was brought by his uncle,
Charles A. Yost. who alleges that most Of
an income of $4,000 year has been
spent by his nephew for drink Supt

ing his opinion that Veteran Is of I'M
sound mind told about remarkable nuc-
tuations in the prices OF stocks quoted

Veteran testified In his own behalf
and gave such convincing proof that he
knew what he was talking about in dis
cusslng stocks. especially mining shares,
which he considered an unwise invest :
ment, that the jury decided he was sane.

G. Cochran's visit to Omaha, Chas.
Ware, general manager Of the U. P,
and r. L. Davis, superintendent Of the
/ Kansas division, were here all day
Tuesday, and conferred with the rail-
road committee about certain improve
ments that have been asked for and are
very much needed. After thoroughly
going over the yards and grounds and
inspecting their forty years old depot,
| they were free TO say that the requests
OF the citizens Of Hays, through their
representatives, were not extravagent
but were an sbsolute necessity, not
alone for the benefit of Hays, but OF
their road as we'll. In due time, prob
ably in the near future, the obnoxious,
very Objectionable old stencil, the stock
yards, will be moved outside the city
limits, and it is understood that their
civil engineer will be here IN few days
to select location for them; also that
the present excuse for depot will be
moved two or three blocks east and
used for a freight depot, and that a
handsome brick passenger depot will be
erected IN its place; also that the
8 stitching yards will be moved from the
center Of town, more tracks laid and
made adequate to handle the fast in
ereasing business Of the city. The
space between North and South Main
Street will be cleared, trees and grass
planted. and used as park. At least |
such was the talk, and it is well known |
that when the U. P. people undertake
anything, it is put through to finish. |
