to Buy Fair Grounds

pulling heavy loads iajure the pave
ment as much as do traction en-
gines, except when the engines make
a turn and when turns are made the
engines could plank the distance.
A city ordinance prohibiting the
passage of heavy engines across paw
ed streets was declared invalid when
the case was carried to the supreme
court by Mr.. Brown, who filed an
injunction suit which was denied in
the district court. The city authori-
ties had been accustomed to allow
ing the engines to cross the pave
ment by planking, but this was not
mentioned in the ordinance which
was therefore declared invalid. The
commissioners recently passed an
other ordinance which compels
planking.

DOES VACCINATION PAY?

cholera.
Another had 1876 hogs, did NOT
vaccinate them, and lost $50 from
cholera.
Another had 81 hogs, did NOT
vaccinate them, and lost 81 from

SUED FOR DIVORCE

Two divorce suits were filed to-

filed suit for divorce from Elias
Quilting, an automobile dealer 0f
Enterprise. They were married No

leges extreme cruelty and neglect,
and charges that while she was i'll
with typhoid fever her husband did

compelled to see that she was cared
for properly. She further alleges
that her husband threatened to
knock her brains out and upon one
occasion siezed a chair and threat
ened to attack her.
John F. Graves of Manchester

Graves. He alleges among other
things that his wife left him two

took place August 10, 1914, and
was guilty of improper relations
here and in St. Joseph, Mo-, to
which place she went after leaving
this county. Mrs. Graves was Dor

Dam Case
Dismissed BY Court

The flood cases against the Hoff'
man mills at Enterprise came to
an abrupt end in district court, for
this term at least, when Judge King
last night sustained a demurrer Of
fered by attorneys for the defend
ant to show that the plaintiff in
this particular case on trial, John
Feighley, had not established a
cause for action. c. e. Rugh, who
with Col. e. C. Little, represents the
farmers, said the case would be ap-
pealed. Immediately after Judge
King sustained the defendants de-
murrer and dismissed the jurors for
the rest Of the term, attorneys for
Mr.. Feighley made q motion for a
new trial. Judge King overruled this
motion this morning.
As five other suits against the
Hoffman mill, in which John Wild
Ter, H. w. Schaake, the Sarah War
field estate, William Biesecker and
]. w. Lamb are plaintiffs, are sim
liar to the Feighley case in every
respect, they will not be tried at
this term but will await any further
disposition OF the Feighley suit.
Judge King sustained a demurrer
on three points: First, that this suit
Is similar to one brought by L. d.
Arnold, In which the supreme court
sustained a demurrer to all the evil
dence except that against the Rock
Island-a party to the original suit,
which named the mill and the rail-
road as joint defendants; second,
that Mr.. Arnold later settled with
the Rock Island for the damage he
sustained, and that settlement In a
damage suit with one Of group of
defendants who are known by the
legal terms of Joint tortfeasors,
releases the others; third, that al
though the plaintiff alleged in this
case that the dam. at Enterprise Is

maintained at its present height IN
violation of the law, no testimony
had been introduced to show that
this was true, even though witness
es testified that the dam had been
raised, and that since the dam had
been there for forty years or more.
the presumption was that the dam
complies with the statute.
C. s. Crawford, who with Hurd
q Hurd, represented the Hoffmans.
offered the demurrer and argued
that the damage done the farmers in
the flood OF 1908, upon which all
OF the damage suits. totaling over
$4,000 as originally filed, are
based, was not caused by the mill
dam but by the Rock Island bridge.
and for that damage the plaintiff
already had accepted damages.
The question as to the legality OF
the height OF the Hoffman mill dam
is now before the supreme court. At
the petition OF farmers living near
Enterprise, Attorney General John
Dawson, now associate justice OF
the supreme court of Kansas,
brought mandamus proceedings
against the mill to compel 1t to
lower the dam, said to be higher
than legal grants specify.
The flood cases have been in the
court for years. Originally the rail-
road and the mill we're named joint
ly; in the Arnold case, the supreme
court held that the suits must be
made separately; when the Arnold
case. was next tried, a demurrer was
sustained by the supreme court. Re-
Gently the Rock Island settled with
the farmers.
Many witnesses were called yes
terday and the examination was
long and tedious. Karl Riddle, coun-
ty engineer, was called to the stand
frequently to explain the maps pre-
pared for this suit. ~

thing. She had seen an advertisement
for a young woman of courage-Cyn-
thia felt sure she had courage-to play
a small part in the circus. Cynthia
thought il was with the lions. She
had gone, and had found herself one
of five hundred applicants. There were
tall girls and short girls, stout and
thin girls, spruce girls and slatternly
ones-but she--she was the one picked
by the manager.
Indeed there was nothing strange
about that, for she had that air and
breeding which were a sine qua non
for the task But Cynthia thought it
was a miracle.
She was to be strapped into an au-
tomobile which looped the loop every
night. And for the five minutes which
the whole duty required she was to re-
ceive fifty dollars nightly for three
weeks-in all nine hundred dollars.
There amt no risk at ALL" the
manager explained. We've tried it
out hundred times. Ill show you"
