Thomas Harrison, who was charged with failure to cut the Meeds in the street adjacent to his property, finally came up for hearing in police court this morning vith City Attorney Bertenshaw prosecuting and S.

The matter was argued hotly pro and con for some time and then Mr. Piper present ed a motion to quash on the ground that sufficient evidence was not produced to constitute an offense; the pretended ordinance is void because cities of the second class have no right to assume such powers, and the ordinance is in conflict with the laws of the state and therefore void.

In addition to this it is unconstitutional. Judge McKibben thought that was sufficient and quashed the case, which means that the city will have to continue doing as it has done for the past twenty years cut the weeds in the streets. The court room was filfed with the friends of Mr. Harrison who warmly congratulated him on his victory. The action was brought by A.

Consequently, an application of the air brakes brought the engine to a sudden slow down and permitted the broken section to run into it. This is believed to have caused the train to buckle at the oil tanks and caused the derailment. It is said that the enginemen did not discover that the train was wrecked until they had run into Cherryvale and returned. The engineer is said to have attempted to patch up the broken coupling but finding time short on the passenger train, ran the engine into the city to flag it.

He then backed to the point where the freight cars were stopped and, after investigation found that his train had been ditched. The waiting passenger was then detoured via Independence. This is one theory of the wreck. Some of the men attribute the accident to a plain case of rail climbing. Whatever the trouble, the wreck is causing the Frisco much trouble and vexatious delay.
