Fire Chief diaries Stinson declares he is going to turn over a new leaf tbo first of the year, and insist upon building permits being tak- out, as the clly ordinance provides. During the post year, there has lieon n. great amount of building In evidenced by the Gazette's itemized story in the Thanksgiving edition. Many of the houses mentioned in story were put up without building permits, Mr.

Stinsou says, and he intends to sec- that, the disregard of this point does not occur next year. There is a fine of $25 for erecting a building in the city limits without a permit from the fire chief, and Mr. Stinson will lay his hand to this weapon of the law; if need be to enforce his contention. Tho ordinance makes tho permit provision in order to tlio city supervision of the buildiiiB growth of the town. Where lire put up within the fire limits, it is necessary that the fire, eliic-1' know it, and have a conference with the contractor.

Thn permit formality gives tho chief his opportunity to keep in touch with exact building conditions. Outside of Uio limits, it is still needful that permits bo granted, in order that a record may be Kept of the permanent growth of the town. Mr. Stinson believes that careloss- UPBS is responsible for the failure to talte out permitH, in many cases, lie says thai many people do not know a permit is necessary, though the carpenters and contractors know, aiul It is up to thorn to toll their customers of the requirement. Stinson expects to reform the whole building system with regard to tliia point.

The S'urety Company took option on the. Miller ranch ot 0,000 acres in the norlheas-, part'Of I-yon Cbiinty, In. 1910, for the purpose of developing tho tract of land into community Bohemians. Crawfords, it is claimed, wer'p engaged to help In the sale of this? land, and the attainment of the project. Through the transactions, that have taken place, the Crawfords allege that $2,1.00 is dup them.

In order to keep the case outside of the United States District Court, the amount involved -was reduced to $1,993, to bring it the $2,000 limit. The case takes.up the history ot a long series of relations between Emporia real estate men and the Nebraska company. The company's defense Is that the Crawfords received a commission of over $900 through the sale of a and tract to the Nebraska firm. This tract was made up by a group of home men, and the Crawfords mndleil the sale, as agents oJ the Surety Company, but receiving a commission from the Emporians, it said. The surety company claims the Crawforda, having been by one party to this transac- ioh, cannot expect compensation 'rom another party.

is also al- eged by the defense that T. Crawford had no share in the proceedings. The case will be a legal battle between two strong firms, Huggins, Riddle for the plaintiffs, and Hamer Harris for the de- lendant. 'The latter firm is assisted by U. C.

Roper, secretary of the surety company, and its attorney, statements of attorneys were made to the jury as soon as court was opened this morning, and the aking of evidence followed.

Special Train For Wilson Inaugural. Kansas Democrats who wish to see a Democratic president inaugurated, may have their dreams come true next spring when a special train will be run from Topeka for the inauguration ot Woodrow Wilson as ptesident of the; United States. Since President-elect Wilson, has not determined as to just the day or month he will be inaugurated, the date running the train is not announced. But plans for the speciul have been completed and it is probable that 150 or 200 Kansas Democrats will go to Washington for the inauguration.

"Thcro are a number of details yet to be determined," says Mr. Owen Samuel Winston under the horse stealing charges.

He entered the neighborhood near Miller to work May 1, and there became acquainted -with Amanda Lander, a 16-year-old girl. Dudley was eight years older than his impressionable companion. Their relationship culminated about two weeks ago, when Dudley toot Miss Lander to Harveyville, without her parents' knowledge and consent, and kept her there a day or two. The young woman ashamed to face her relatives, failed to return: home, causing great anxiety. She was discovered however, and told the officers her story.

Dudley was arrested, and first denied the charges.
