Proceedings have been started In
the Shawnee county district court by
County Attorney Tinkham Vealei To
compel the removal or fences which
are alleged to be on the right of way
of the Capital Highway, south of To-
3elxa, adjoining the farm of Ida Paul.
The action is a duplicate of that filed
against Reginald Grice Saturday.
More than a week ago, Jesus Hur-
tado. a Mexican laborer at the Rock
Island roundhouse in Topeka, on strike,
resented the appearance of a man
from Holton on his erstwhile job by
engaging in shooting affray with
his successor. Hurtado's intentions
were more dangerous than his shoot
ing, and the other man shot better,
winging the striker in the arm,s and
sending him to the hospital. Saturday
night, the hospital authorities notified
the court of Topeka that the Mexican
was able to stand trial. and he was
taken to the county Jail that night.
This morning he was arraigned before
Judge Paul H. Heinz in the Court of
Topeka, his hearing was set for Sep.
tember 1, and he gave bond for his ap-
pearance. The charge against him is
assault with intent to kill.

district court of Shawnee county
against NJ. T. williams for damages
in the. sum of $94S.23. Millican's pc
tition alleges that Williams contracted
to build a house for him, and to pur-
chase all the necessary material. The
petition states that after the house
had been finished and turned over to
Mflltcan. and the contract price had
been paid. it developed that there was
a material bill of $94S.23 which Will
liams had not paid, and which he has
refused to pay. Since the bill consti-
tuted lien on the house, Williams
was forced to pay it.
Stroud & Company, a hardware
company of Omaha, Neb., has flied
suit in the district court of Shawnee

ply company of Topeka, for the sum

Omaha company asserts that the
money is due on a promissory note
executed by the Topeka concern and
that the debt is the result of an open
account which the Topeka firm had
with Stroud & Company.
