Special DISPATCH to The Daly Eagle
Kingfsher, o. T., Dec. 27.-Judge Nc
Aztec left today for Oklahoma City. hav-
ing just heard a case in chambers
which is of interest to school districts
throughout the territory.
This county, as well as all other
counties of the territory, was organ
lied into school districts under the
statutes Of 1890 The districts thus or
ganized incurred Indebtedness for
which warrants were issued and are
now outstanding. Under the statutes
Of 1893 the counties were redistricted so
that nearly all school districts bounds
were disturbed, that is, the same terri
tory is not embraced under the new
statutes as was embraced under the
statutes of 1890. The 1893 statutes re-
quire county superintendent to appor-
ton all school funds among the vari-
Gus districts as organized under the
new statutes, and made no provision
for applying any bonds toward the pay
nent of debts contracted by old dis
tricts.
The attorney general issued an
opinion that where indebtedness had
been incurred under the old order OF
tnlNS, ScNOOi InOucsS SnooN ~
portioned to the township In whlch
the old districts were embraced, to
meet the indebtedness. Under this
ruling Superintendent Doty made his
apportionment of funds, and in some
instances the treasurer paid out the
funds accordingly.
Now comes district No. 30 or this coun-
ty and seeks to compel the treasurer
Nv mandamus to pay over funds to the
district as newly bounded, ignoring in
debtedness incurred under previous
bounds. While the amount involved
in this case is small, it increases the
thousands in this entire county, ana
indirectly interests almost every school
district in the territory.
Judge MeAtee has not yet given any
opinion, but he will if possible under
the statutes. make such a disposition
of the case as will meet the outstand-
ing obligations of old districts

LEWIS SOLD A MINE,
Defense Starts Out TO Put the Shoe on the
Other Foot.

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 27-The trial
of Montgomery H. Lewis, charged with
forgery while I'm the emqloye Of the
Lombard Investment company in 1890
81. was resumed before the criminal
court at Independence this morning.
The defense opened with deposition
from f. NJ. Harmon, who, with the de-
PENDANT and Z. B. Stowe. was interest
ed in silver mine. Harmon's deposit
ton sets forth that the mine in which
Lewis was interested was sold by them
in February. 1891. Lewis receiving over
sl4, 900 for his share of the mine. j. w.
Moore, the grain and commission mer-
chant, was examined in confederation
of the Marmon deposition and testified
to having paid over $4,000 for the min
ing property referred to. This evil
dence is expected 10 explain the large
amount of banking business done by
Lewis during the period in which he is
charged with stealing from the invest
ment company.
Evidence was presented to show that
the chirography OF Cashier Russell and
that OF Lewis were so much alike that
they could not be distinguished one
from the other. The defense want to
throw the onus of the defalcation on
ex-Cashier Russell who is in Mexico.

WEALTH N SIGHT.
Plenty OF Wafer Waiting and Plenty of
Wiui to 2aSe It

Denver. Dec. 27-The experiments
conducted for the past two weeks at
Goodland and other points in Kansas
have resulted in the most important
denominations of irrigation POSSIBLE
ties that have been had in the west for
many years. There is no room for
doubt left that there is an underground
flow in a large proportion of western
Kansas and a part of eastern Colorado
that can be placed under control, that
ditch is sufficient to provide irri-
eating water to an immense acreage
and that the use of windmill pumps is
not only economical nor ever falls to
produce satisfactory results. Expert
ments have shown that at a ma ximum
cost of about s35 pumping apparatus
can be erected which will raise suffi-
cient water to cover ten to twenty
acres. The investment in a pump and
windmill is equivalent to the purchase
of a ditch right in regions where irri-
cation by ditch is practicable. The
maintenance Of the apparatus is a
comparatively slight expense. Water
is found in abundance at a depth OF
15e OF 300 feet and continuous pumping
has no effect on its volume. There has
been not a little hardship felt in some
sections of Kansas and Nebraska on
last summer and the discovery that
there is abundant water easily OBJ
tainable has caused much rejoicing. 1t
is thought that capital will at once in
terest itself in the new field, dig wells
and erect windmills. A yearly rental
charge could be ample to return highly
satisfactory interest without being
onerous and each farmer could be for
ever assured of crop. The area under
cultivation would probably be reduced
but the aggregate crop would be in
creased and the labor of the farmer
would be lessened. Most cheerful ex-
pectations are felt by those who have
watched the experiment closely.

NOT A REDEEMINa FEATURE.
Condition Of the Flour Industry Pro
nounced Awfully Dull,

Minneapolis, Dec. 27.-The North
western Miller will say:
Minneapolis mills have ground ST. AS
barrels this week against 1890 the
week before. This weeks output is not
likely to exceed $4,000 barrels compared
with IA, 900 in 1898. Exports are only
1928 barrels against q ! 90 the previous
week. 1890 in 1890. The market was
without any redeeming feature. orders
booked by Minneapolis last week are
rot much more than half production.
The excess went into store, partly at
lake ports. Export sales were very
small, bids being too low for millers to
accept.
Superior and Duluth mills made only
1892 barrels against 22.SS7 the proceed
ing week IS. 500 in 1898 The output for
the current week will not likely be any
larger. Cash wheat is advancing
freights to the seaboard are high and
flour markets are congested and dull
for the most part. Domestic is report
ed firm, though not much doing For
eign markets are In about the same
shape as those at home. Export ship
ments 4.2l4 barrels against 2S57 the
week before and 1890 in 1893 The
stock OF -four in store is 1900 barrels
against $4,000 In 1898. Milwaukee,
-four output is $500 against 10000 the
previous week. g. 800 in 1898 A lighter
run Is looked for this and next week
Flour is awfully dun with not much i'm
provement in prospect for the future.
The output at St Louis is s.. 900 barrels
compared with II, 500 the week before.
Trade is dull; scarcely anything sold
for export While some of the valley
OF the Ohio mills have had fair trade.
the general report was of dizziness and
small output OF -four. Michigan mill
