the city with the ''Ugly Duckling" COM
pauy at Boyd's opera house, her wardrobe
and other personal property were attached
at the instance of DR.. Clark Gapin. For a
slme, owing to the prominence of all the
parties connected, the affair created some
thing of a sensation. Mrs. Carter gave
bonds and the case was continued. To-day

drew an interested crowd Of spectators.
DIR. Gapen was upon the stand and detailed

university fund, but whether these levies
come out Of the IS cents or not is the
query The county auditors have been
anxious about it. State Auditor Moody
will accordingly issue his circular directing
county auditors to apportion rs cents to the
STATE general fund, cents to the state
university and cents to the state road.
