WARREN CASE REVERSED.

The supreme court has reversed the
E. B. Warren case, which was ap-
pealed from district court, Judge
Leighton presiding.
States Attorney Nestos took an ap-
peal and the case will be sent back for
re-trial.
The county brot an action against
p. G. Warren, former county super g,n
900 for alleged overcharge in mileage.
Judge Leighton had held that the mat
ter Of mileage was not a question of
fact for the jury, and took that part Of
the case away from the jury, directing
a verdict. He allowed the jury to pass
on the matter of interest on the money
that Warren had failed to turn into
the county treasury at the time pro-
yided by law. This amounted to about
$500. t

HON. JOHN cHITTENDEN

One of the interesting figures in the
house this session promises to be John
Chittenden of Hays, who replaces Miles
Mulroy as representative from Ellis
county.
Chittenden has several distinctions.
He is the first Republican elected from
Ellis county in eighteen years. The
last Republican from Ellis county was
NJ. Fuller, in the session of 1897.
More than that. Mulroy was elected
on the Democratic ticket two years ago
by 800 majority over his Republican
opponent. Republicans had been run
n1ng in Ellis county largely as a matter
of form. Mulroy was one of the prom
inent Democrats in the house IN 1913.
He was elected speaker pro tenn, and
was slated for speaker of the 1915 ses-
sion if the Democrats won, and minority
floor leader if they lost.
DRAFTED AS FoRLoRN HOPE.
Chittenden, weIl-to-do farmer, who
had lived IN Ellis county for thirty
years, was fairly drafted INTO the race.
The county committee had little ex-
pectation that Miles could be defeated.
In fact the nomination was refused by
at least one man before Chittenden was
given the refusal Chittenden tried to
decline the honor, but finally gave in.
After the Hays Republican entered
the campaign he made a real race fol
the place. He campaigned the county,
didn't do so awfully much speechmak.
ing, but saw a lot of people.
When the returns came In it was dis
covered that instead of the traditional
majority of 800 for Miles Mulroy, Johr
Chittenden, Republican, was elected By
800 majority. Chittenden viii be
watched with interest in this session.
A quiet, elderly man, he is said to be Of
considerable force. Topeka Capital.
