Mr.

Sweet, local representative of the men making the test, asked to be excused from commenting upon the situation today, but said he would have a statement to make next week. The prospectors have spent more than $30,000 on the well, which is now down more than 2,000 feet. The location was selected by an eminent geologist. Lack of funds caused drilling to be suspended for a while recently. At that time the bit was down 1,937 feet and was just breaking into a new formation which looked very promising.

A. Maxwell this morning after having pleaded guilty of being drunk and also been convicted of two violations of the traffic ordinance. The complaint alleged, that besides being drunk, Deardorff carelessly and negligently backed his automobile into Main street and that he exceeded the speed limits. The latter allegation was made because of the way he stepped on the gas to get away when Policemen Lindquist and Keeling went to arrest him. As soon as he saw them coming he hopped into his car and took to flight They tried to head him off but failed, then fired into the air.

When he did not stop then, Policeman Lindquist shot the shoes off his car, Deardorff giving up his flight when he had three flat tires. He said he was driving five or ten miles an hour. Lindquist testified the speedometer on the police car registered from twentyfive to thirty miles an hour while the chase was on. Deardorff's defense to the charge of carelessly backing his automobile was an alibi. He claimed that he forgot to take the key when he lock.

ed his car and that someone backed it away from where he had left it parked on Main street and he found it later standing in Lincoln avenue a short distance south of Main. Judge Maxwell decided that, because Deardorff's memory was SO hazy about other things, he might have been mistaken about whether he or someone else was driving when the car was backed up. He fined him $25 for careless backing, $50 for being drunk and $50 for speeding. Deardorff said he became intoxicated from drinking patent medicine but could not remember where he got his bitters.

Petitions for extending the white way on Lincoln avenue and South Grant avenue were not filed in time to be granted before the rest of the equipment had been ordered. For this reason the cable for these two stretches has not arrived, and the lights cannot be used until it is completed, because one circuit will supply the entire system.

Although there was rain this morning, it did not affect today's sales day as much as the bad weather which preceded the first one two months ago. There was large crowd of shoppers in the business houses.

They came down early in the morning and the throng was large throughout the day, The showers were not heavy enough to interfere with farm work, but nevertheless there was a goodly number in from the country, prefer. ing to lay work aside for the day instead of missing some of the remark. able bargains offered by local dealor's. Even if this were not the case, the farmers would doubtless be strong for the sales day because of its DOtecy as a rain maker. Not only was the first one preceded by a heavy downpour, but now the second one has brought an end, temporarily at least, to what would soon have become a drouth.

The business men will hold a luncheon session in King David Ma. sonic Temple tomorrow morning to discuss today's experiences and plan for future sales days. Grocery Store Robbed. The grocery store of Fred Foser at 1001 North Santa Fe avenue vas broken into last night by burglars who carried the cash register outside, where they opened it and took all the money it contained.

The burglars got $42.67, taking every penny, but leaving checks. They broke in by taking the pane of glass out of the rear door, then undoing its inside fastenings. After removing the glass they dropped it and smashed it. Nothing seemed to be disturbed other than the cash register. This the burglars carried to the rear and worked on it alongside the garage, which shadowed them from the street light.

It took two men to carry the register back into the store, this morning, than so it is supposed that more one burglar took part in the raid. Mr. Foster and his family live on the floor above the store.

W. 4-STATE ENCAMPMENT HERE CAMP WILL BE PEACHED IN CIT a PARK 21-26. Forty-Five Uniformed Drill Teams, Numbering From 20 to 32, Will Attend--Special Trains for Two Big ways. The Woodmen of the World have selected Chanute as the place for holding the four-state encampment of their uniformed degree, L. V.

Chaney, district manager of the order, formally notified the Chamber of Commerce at its luncheon session today. The date will be August 21 to 26.

The latter will come from Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, It will be the first combined encampment since 1910, when one was held in Joplin. Mr. Chaney asked the Chamber co-operate in an effort to obtain ex-, cursion trains and special rates to make Wednesday and Thursday, which have been designated as "Visitors" and "Chanute" days; two big ones. "If we can get special rates and trains for a wide enough radius, believe there will be from 4,000 to people here for those two days," he declared. He also suggested that the Chamber issue an invitation, in the shape of a circular, to be given to the state managers in the four states for distribution.

This circular should tell something about Chanute, particularly the advantages which caused the order to hold its encampment here, he said. Upon the motion of W. E. Wilson, seconded by Watson Stewart, the Chamber's advertising committee was requested to prepare such a circular, in association with Mr. Cha- ney.

The W. O. W. has set aside 000 to pay the cost of holding the encampment, he said, and all of this will be spent in Chanute except the railroad fares of the drill team members. Two hundred klansmen paraded Monday night at Cherokee, as a warning to I.

PORTER Kansas Court Is Right Up With Its Docket and Decisions Present the Views of All Its Seven Members. Judge Silas W. Porter of the Kgnsas Supreme Court entertained local Ratarians and Kiwanians, together with a large number of guests of both clubs, at their session last evening by telling many interesting things concerning the manner in which the supreme court functions. When the constitution was amended in 1900 to provide for seven judges instead of three, the supreme court was four years behind with its work," Judge Porter said. "It was provided that the new court seven should work in two divisions in order to catch up.

"Now the supreme court is right up with the lawyers, and disposes of cases just as fast as they can be presented to To Illustrate the importance of prompt decisions, Judge Porter explained that twenty years or more ago a litigant against whom judgment was given in lower court would JUDGE SILAS W. PORTER Of the Kansas Supreme Court take an appeal solely for the sake of wearing out the other side, the victor in the lower court being SO in need of money that he would settle ontside of court for less than a jury had allowed him rather than wait several years to see what the outcome would be in the supreme court. "There is nothing of that kind happening in Kansas now," Judge Porter said. Explaining the workings of the court, he told of how it sits once a month to hear cases, oral arguments by attorneys being limited. Then the cases are assigned in turn to the seven judges, each being given from six to ten.

Each judge studies the cases givon him, and writes his opinion. Then this goes to the other six for perusal. If they do not agree with the findings, they give notice of dissent, or they may comment upon some part of the decision without dissenting. "Thus," explained Judge Porter, "while it is reported that the decision was given by this does not mean that it is an individual decision, but that it is the opinion of all seven judges, if none dissent, the one to whom it is credited merely having written it." The Kansas plan has been adopted by Nebraska, Judge Porter said, which considers it superior to the method in other states, particularly Illinois, where oral arguments are unlimited, and each judge goes to his home to write an individual opin. ion instead of the judges working together, as in Incidentally Judge Porter commented upon his Manhattan cocktail decision, which attracted much attention at the time.

It was a case in which two women went into a Wichita drink establishment and were served with Manhattan cocktails. The olation of prosecuting the attorney alleged viprohibitory law, but in presenting his case he failed to have anyone testify that the cocktails were intoxicating. The defendant took advantage of this technicality and appealed to the supreme court when the jury found guilty. The case was assigned to Judge Porter.
