Jadge "aca-eat a Settlement.
"Th railroads enter a city with the pur
pose t .Improving It and drawing business
from.lt, and tha same 1 trua of manufac
turing firms, when they construct and open
plant In a city. This being the case, aa a
pure matter of business th partlea to this
suit should certainly com to an amicable
settlement." Thl wo the suggestion tf
Judge Macy, when yesterday afternoon he
I discontinued th hearing of the application
'of Kimball Brothers for a writ of man
damus to compel th Rock Island and other
railroad to open and construct culvert
and ditches under their 1 embankments to
?urry off the flood waters which for several
week hav filled the plaintiff' foundry
and elevator works, on South Ninth street
to a depth of aeveral feet.
- Th hearing waa begun before Judge
Macy Monday afternoon when th court
attorney and partlea Interested mad a
visit to the submerged district, la order
that th court from a personal Inspection
ot th condition existing might b able to
better determine the case. After consid
erable evidence had been taken on both
sides, Judge Macy yesterday afternoon de
cided that It was a case In whloh the In
terest of all parties concerned demanded an
amloable settlement rather than a resort
to law, and h so Informed them. Th Rock
Island railroad at th suggestion of the
court, agreed to Increase th depth of Its
present culvert from eight to twelve Inches
and to do all It oould to relieve th situa
tion, complained of by Kimball Brothers.
On this understanding the court discon
tinued the hearing but still retains Juris
diction over th case. Attorney on both
ides stated that It was doubtful If the case
would com before the court again, as Kim
ball Brother would be completely satis
fied If th railroad carried out Its prom
. laea mada to th court.

RICHARDS IS FOUND GUILTY
Jury Takes Oa.j One Ballot in Cue of
Former Deputy Mtirhal.
VERDICT A SURPRISE TO THE DEFENSE
Friend Who Stood by Hint In Trial

and Kcvr Trial Will Be
Asked For.
(From a Staff Correapondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept 29. (Special.) W. 8.
Richards of this city and of Creston. for
merly deputy United State marshal, wai
convicted at Indlanola today of th crime of
breaking and entering a house In the night
time for the purpose of robbery. The Jury
took but on ballot on tha question and
it was unanimously for his conviction.
Th verdict cam a a surprise to the de
fense, because they had put up a re
markably good defense and felt that they
had completely destroyed the evidence of
th state. Th attorney for the prosecu
tion hardly expected a oonvlctlon, but
hoped for a hung jury and a seconl trial.
There was so much of evidence brought
out In the caa that was a surprise to both
sides that It waa felt that the trial would
hav to be gone over again. Richards is
out on bonds, hi principal bondsmen be
ing United State official and prominent
residents of the city,' and they have stood
loyally by him and still insist that he Is
the victim of a conspiracy and not at all
guilty. A strong effort will be made to
get a new trial from the oourts.
Richards did not go on th stand In his
own defense at this trial.
The third member of the trio that par
ticipated In the Sullivan robbery at Ham
ilton ha never been apprehended. This
Is Charles Redrup, according to the state
trient of Frank Ralrd, who made the con
fession. Balrd got an eighteen-year sen
tence, and It Is expected that Richards,
who planned the whole robbery, according
to his story, will be sentenced for a longer
time.

CORN CONDITIONS FAVORABLE
According; to th Weather Bureau the
Crop Ha Kot Been Much
Damaged.
WASHINGTON, Sept .-The weather
bureau' weekly crop bulletin:
The principal corn states have experi
enced weather conditions exceptionally fa
vorable for maturing late corn, and while
frosts have been quite general over the
central and eastern portions of the corn
belt, no material damage Is indicated.
Probably less than a) per cent of the
crop In Iowa Is unmatured, and while the
rroportlon yet exposed to Injury In South
skota, Minnesota and Wisconsin Is
? renter, the Immature will make good
eed. Farther south only a very small part
of the crop Is still soft. Cutting Is general
In all sections, and some new corn has
been marketed In Southern Kansas.
While the conditions have been favorable
for threshing spring wheat In the spring
wheat region, reports of dampness of grain
in shock, as a result of previous rains,
continues. Harvest Is now completed on the
North Paclllc coast and threshing has ad
vanced. With general seasonable temperature over
the entire cotton belt, a large part of
the cotton crop has already been gathered.
Cool nights and the very general prevalence
of drought In the central districts have been
detrimental and rust and shedding continue
to be extensively reported. On the whole
the crop ha suffered deterioration, espe
cially In th central and western portions
of the belt.
Plowing for fall Beedlng has made favor
able progress In the Atlantic coast districts
snd in the states of the upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, but in the Ohio valley,
southern atates and the western portions of
Kansas and Nebraska tha soil has been too
dry for this work.

Catherine O'Keefe, widow of David D.
O'Keefe, has arrived on the steamer Doric.
O'Keefe wbb known as the king of Tap.
He left his wife and daughter In Savannah, -Ga.,
In the early '70s and was wrecked
on the Island. Being the first white man
which the natives had ever seen, they
treated him with every possible reverence
and finally made him king.
Over a year ago, after visiting Hong I
Kong on business, he started to return on '
one of his vessels and that was the last I
ever heard of him. Although he had two
wives In the Carolines, he always kept hla
wife and daughter In Savannah well sup
plied with money.
On bearing of his death Lawyer Hurt
rldge was sent out to see how matters
stood. He found a will In Hong Kong dis
tributing an istate valued at $1,500,000 in
property, all of which is productive. He

ter, Mrs. J. F. Butler of Savannah, and It
Is expected that the Savannah widow will
