D T KANSAS CATTLEMEN IN ARMS. evidence expected, Hawaiian The States it position Foar of Texas Fever lelng Co nleated to Their Stock Causing Trouble. Esronta, Kan., April 23, —Serious trouble and perhaps bloodshed is threatened because of the attempted transferring through Lyons county of a load of Te: cattle, which ar- rived here yesterday. Last year thousands of dollars in cattle weré lost by the farme of this vicinity by the spreading of Texas fever among their cattle, brought here from Texa The farmers, fearing the same result now, have determined that the new arrivals shall be sent back to the state line and there held fn quarantine. The cattlemen are just as determined that they will land their load at the point for which they are destined, fifteen miles southwest of this place. The cattle were unloaded stock yards here for the purpose of fecding and watering and remained in the yards all day, and all day the city was filled with cattlemen and farmers, détermined that the cattle should not be driven through Lyons county. ‘The sanitary commissioner fused to hold the cattle, and this evening they were loaded into the cars and started for Baznar. When they arrive there, how- ever, they will not be allowed to unload without trouble, as the cattlemen state that seventy-five avmed men ave there on guard, who will not allow such action without a fleht, and as the sheriff will find it almost impossible to obtain a posse to oppose them, it is doubtful what the result may be. A fight s predicted should the attempt be made. FALSE - 10 HIS TRUST. of the Ve formm a Default Sas Fuaxcisco, Cal, April Clark K.

Household furni- ture and paintings and the like muk up a small percentage of this Down in the lowest ement ar silver vaults, the trunk rooms and rows upon rows of little safe deposit boxes, A bhox of five inches square and eig inches long may contain a fortune., One man whose wealth is estimated at #50,000,000 rented such a box for his wife and placed in it £100,000 in Bank of Eng- land notes, saying that whatever hap- pened to him or the United States she was sure of a fortune, The lady com- plained, however, that the sum suflicient to maintain her in the s which she was accustomed, and «ly tho husband placed in the box deeds to a block of houses. Again the lady complained, and deeds to another block of honses were added, The hoy finally contained probably three times the value of itsworiginal $500,000, One of the most curious developments of the storage business is the use of these houses by wealthy women as vel caskets, Many women in New York possess jewels of sueh value that it is deemed unsafe to keep them at home According miladi rents a box deposit department of a storage ware- house and deposits her jewels alongside the diamonds and mortgages of her neighbors.

They are carried home to flash in the lights of a single entertain- ment and are returned next day to the sufe oblivion of the strong box. A list is kept of all persons having right of access to any private box. woman of great wealth has thy such boxes. To one she admits her husband, to another her maid, to a third access is denied to all save the lady herself. One man keeps as much as $15,000 in cash on deposit. He makes the box his great purse and takes from it and replenishes it us he would a pockethook Many depositors treat the house as though it were a club. They have their business letters addressed there and forwarded whithersoever they will. They make appointments and dis- cuss business matters in the cozy vrivate apartments provided Fach apartment furnished doesk, ink, pens, writing paper. 1en the depositor enters with his box he displays on the door compartment a painted sign, “Occu- pied,” and, locking the door on the in- side, is sceure from intrusion. Two maiden ladies who had thus retired presently called an employe of the house to help them cut off coupons. The polite man readily complied, but found himself busied for three hours in the task. Some one at the storage house must know by sight every one of the deposi- tors, ana their number often runs up to 500, Some of them visit the house frequently: some only once in two or three years, This identifier at one of the great storage houses finds that he can make sure of a person’s identity if only the face be exposed from eyebrow to tip of nose.
