THE ALEXANDER CASE.
Receiver Williams Ordered TO File a
Report on Tuesday.
Orders Made BY Judge Zane-Probate
Proceeding FINED for Cruelty to
Animals-Offenders Before Judge Gee.

Saturday is usually considered an of
day in the Third district court, but yes
terday was notable exception to the
rule. There was business and plenty Of
it, from the moment that Doc
Sprague's sonorous shear yeD had died
away, until late in the afternoon when
the days business was concluded.
The first matter of importance that was
called up was the D. Alexander & Co.
muddle which has previously been COM
mented on in The HERALD. The matter
was called up by Arthur Brown, who
stated that he had fled motion asking
that the receiver be directed TO pay over
to w. IS. Mccormick & Co. what funds
he had on hand to apply upon note Sc
cured by chattel mortgage. Mr.. Brown
criticized the receiver for the answers put
in and intimated that his conduct would
tend to delay rather than settle the diff
culties. Mr.. Brown also called attention
to the fact that Mr.. Varian had fled a
motion for the discharge of the receiver S
attorneys on the grounds that they were
preiudiced in favor of their own clients.
f. B. Stephens, one of the receiver s
attorneys, announced that he was re-
sponsible for the answers filed. and he
put themin simply iorfthe purpose of pre-
venting the matter from going by default
and to raise issues when would force pre-
ferred creditors to prove their claims.
Counsel then agreed that the claims of
Julia Alexander, J. K. Durham ct al.
ana Mccormick & Co. should be consol-
idated, but Mr.. Brown insisted that the
claim of Mccormick & Co. should be paid.
Judge Zane said that the issues were
too numerous for him to try them. He
would order the receiver to make full
report of his doings and then master
would be appointed to examine the re-
port. His honor thought the receiver
should be allowed to employ competent
counsel.
Mr.. varian insisted that the council
should not be interested in behalf of one
set of creditors and antagonistic to the
other.
The court conceded, and advised the
receiver to employ a disinterested attor-
ney.
Mr.. Stevens then Withdrew as council,
and Judge Zane directed the receiver to
file his orders on Tuesday at 10 a. m.
