pointed out that as such child she was
legitimatized by congressional enact

opinion that the petitioner, Florence

All the members of the board of pub
lie works were at the meeting yester-
day, which consumed all the time in
tervening between the hours of 3 and
$40 p. m.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of listening to arguments on the
proposition as to whether people who
nave furnished material to sub-contrac-
tors on the gravity sewer outlet can
ask the city to pay the bills and retain
the several sums for the amount due
from the balance due the original con-
tractors.
1t Was a success, too. for there was
every opportunity Of listening From
the time the chairman called time I'M
til Judge Marshall suggested that his
dinner hour had arrived, and that he
was as hungry as an Arkansaw pig.
1t was listen, listen, listen. Farley L.
Williams and Waldemar Van Colt an
Deared for Morris, Hobson & Wilker-
son, James H. Moyle for several par
ties who had claims against the con-
tractors; H. E. Smith some more. while
Judge Hoge was present in his capac-
ity as lawyer for the corporation.
At this point it may not be out of
order to say that the board adjourned
to think over what was stated, and
set no time for another session. The
weight of the arguments may have
had something TO do with this action,
or 1t may not. The reader can draw
his or her own conclusions.
Williams & Van Colt argued in IA
Vor Of the proposition that the prfnci-
pal contractors were not liable for ma
terial furnished the sub-contractors.
and that the city had no right to re-
serve any money for the payment OF
any obligations of this class: Movie
and Smith took the ground that the
city had bound itself in the contract to
save labor and material men from loss
by throwing a mantle of protection
around them, While Judge Hoge spoke
on the three cornered position that the
city was bound to protect no one, but
it might protect a few under certain
conditions, and that as far as the doc
uments in the case were concerned,
meaning thereby the contract and the
specifications, the town knew no SUBJ
contractors, but had dealings only
with the men who signed the agree
ment.
These arguments were lengthy and
to some extent wearisome. Judge Mar
shall divided his time in listening
Sometimes he paid great attention to
what was being said and a others he
did not. All depended upon the class
of argument used. When section 5 was
quoted it was noticed that Judge Mar
shall did not care to hear anything on
that point. He had evidently satisfied
himself as to that. The same conduct
was observed when section 90 was
brought into action. Midgeley Major
Downey and Game were evidently in a
parallel mood. The chairman, by vir-
tue of his position, was compelled to
take in every word that was uttered
as all the attorneys fired their facts,
forensic rhetoric and other vocal brio
a-brac directly at him; made him an
ex-officio target so to speak.
The board took time to allow an ac-
count of Morrison & Merrill for SO, 500
for lumber furnished and that was all
the business transacted Of interest to
the public

THE ATWOOD CASE.
Miss Atwood Is Entitled to n Dis
tr1butive Share.

trlbutiVe Share.
Chief Justice Merritt yesterday de-
livered his written opinion in the ap-
peal case from tine probate court in the
matter of the estate of Millen Atwood,
deceased The opinion reversed the
decision of the court below.
The petitioner was Miss Florence At
wood, a girl of 16 years of age, daugh-
ter of the deceased by a plural wife.
She was not mentioned in the will of
her father and she, by her guardian,
claimed that her name was omitted
Internationally and she therefore asked
for a distributive share Of the estate.
The probate court, however, found
against her.
Judge Merritt ruled that the omis-
sion of Florences name from the will
was unintentional; that she is therefore
entitled to a distributive share of the
estate and the case was remanded back
to the probate court
No doubt an appeal will be taken to
the territorial supreme court and if
Judge Merritt's ruling is sustained Miss
Atwood will come in for a fortune of
about $4,000.
His honor said there was no dispute
as to the claimant being omitted from
the will, SO there We're but two ques-
tions in the case, as follows:
First-Is the petitioner a daughter
and heir at law of the deceased?
Second-If she is, does it appear that
such omission was intentional on the
part of the testator?
AS to the first question, after re-
viewing the relations of the deceased
with the mother of Florence as his
plural wife, Judge Merritt said: 81
have not the slightest hesitation in
