TELEHONE COMPANY
ANDLlGHT COMPANY
FIGHT ABOUT POLES
Farmers Angered by Removal
Of Lighting Wire Supports
-Linemen Arrested.

Egan, s.. D., Dec 4.--Because some
men employed by the Dakota Central
Telephone company removed from
poles Of the company wooden arms
which had been nailed TO the poles by
employees OF an electric light company
at Flandreau, which has wires extend
ing to Egan. the telephone linemen
have been arrested on the charge Of
destroying property. Their trial in
Egan will be attended by officers OF
the two companies and many others
interested, and promises to be hotly
contested.
The telephone company claims that
the electric light company linemen at :
tached the wooden arms to the poles
OF the telephone company without per-
mission, and accordingly when the
telephone company linemen discovered
what had been done they proceeded TO
chop off the offending wooden arms.
AS the farmers OF the vicinity receive
their electric light current from the
wires which were thus cast upon the
ground, there was great excitement
among them and threats OF retaliation
against the poles and wires OF the tele-
phone company were for a time made.
But IL finally was determined to permit
the courts to settle the difficulty.

LAST HORSE CAR TO GO
Cottonwood Falls to Replace Animal
Power With Electricity.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, April 90
Kansas is to lose another institution
this year. The last horse car line in
the state and one of the few remaining
in America, is being electrified. The
relaying of the track of the slow but
sure traction lime that has connected
Strong City with Cottonwood Falls for
% years is now in progress.
Strong City is on the main line of
the Santa Fe railroad. Cottonwood
Falls, the county seat, is two miles
distant on the opposite side of the
Cottonwood river, with a stub of the
Santa Fe as it's only railroad.
January IT. 1887. the Consolidated
Street Railway was organized by bust
consolidated remains a mystery. The
first officers were E. A. Hildebrand,
president; w. P. Martin, secretary,
and J. M. futile, treasurer. The financ-
ing was slow and the project was saved
by a. personal loan of $4,000 by the
late Judge w. H. Carter. With this
the road was completed and two cars
and a stable of mules were bought.
Three men were employed with a
monthly payroll of $50, which Joel
Humes, general manager and stable
GoSham, drivers, divided equally.
A company has been organized to
take charge of the new electric rail-
way line.
The officers are: w. s. Harvey,
president, George w. Crumm, vice
president, both of Strong City; w. w.
Austin, secretary, M. L. lockwood,
treasurer, and w. F. lockwood, gen.
eral manager, all of this city.

a huge wicker basket and he was
borne from one barn to another,
where he stroked a favorite horse or

ried to a point from which he could
view his entire farm.

Judge Granted Woman Divorce
Sent Son to Prison.
And Now Adjudges Husband In
sane-AlI i'm 20 Years.

Atchison, kan, April 2o.-The ar
| rest here of Abraham Cities on a
| charge of insanity brings out a queer
story of his family history, legal pro-
cedure and criminal action in winch
the same judge, Judge Adams of this
city, takes an active part during a
period of nearly third of a century.
Judge Adams, about thirty years
ago, granted Mrs. Cities divorce
from Abraham Cities. Sixteen years
later a son of Mr.. and Mrs. elites was
arrested for robbery and Judge
Adams presided over his trial and
And now he is about to end the story
by adjudging the husband and father
insane.
Here is the story in detail:
In 1886, the early part of the year.
Aileen Montgomery, young, rather
good looking and vivacious, came to
Atchison from parts unknown She
was peddling books, ostensibly, but
after a few months at that avocation
she decided to seek a husband. Abra-
ham Cites, at that time a butcher and
meat market proprietor, came under
her spell. Her methods of wooing
of the present day and in 1886, she
led her catch to the altar.
Two years passed. A young son
arrived in the house Contentment
seemed to reign, when one day a
sudden desire to leave home, family
and all, attacked Mrs. Cities. Trou-
bles began to multiply and as re-
suit a legal separation was decided
upon. At this juncture Judge Adams,
then an attorney, first came in con-
tact with the thread of destiny that
he has followed for nearly thirty
years He was sought for legal coun-
sci by Mr.. Critics.
Papers by which Mrs. Critics was
to resign all claim to the estate of
her husband and infant son, for the
sum of 500 were drawn up and
Cj further
agreed to leave the country and
never to return She kept her prom
Use.
Sixteen years later the residence
of the late w. A. McPike was robbed
A youth barely in his teens, was
arrested in connection with the bur-
glary and as Judge Bland, who oc-
cupied the bench at that time, was
related to the plaintiff, Judge Adams
was appointed Judge pro tenn.
The youth was brought in-the
sold for 500 sixteen years before
and for the second time Judge
Adams played an important part in
the thread of destiny of Abraham
elites. The prisoner was sent to the
Hutchinson reformatory. A few years
later he escaped and disappeared.
Twelve years more passed, bringing
the time up to the present Saturday,
brought before Judge Adams to be
tried to determine his sanity. He had
been picked up on the streets the
night before talking to the telephone
wires,'' believing that they would
bring him responses from his deceased
sisters, Mrs. Chambers or Miss Cities.
with whom he had once made his
home. The hearing was set for today
and the unfortunate man was taken to
the Wells sanitarium.
Thus, for the third time in a third
Of a century Fate has decreed that the
local barrister should play a part in
the life mystery of an unfortunate
family.

SHE CAME BACK ALIVE.
Woman Discharged from State Hos
pital, Finds Funeral Prepared.

Salina, Kan, April 2O.-Believing
that his wife, Benta Peterson, had
died in the state hospital for the in
sane, Olaf Peterson, of Assaria, and
other members of the Peterson family
made arrangements yesterday to meet
the body when it arrived over the Mis-
souri, Pacific tomorrow afternoon.
Today Olaf Peterson learned that
his wife was not lead but that an
order had been made releasing her
from the state hospital. The order
was made following the commitment
of Mrs. Laura Irwin, of Saline county,
to the hospital at Topeka Mrs If
win was adjudged insane short time
ago by a jury in the probate court.
