Sheriff McGrath, of Woods county,
came up from Alva on Monday to pro-
cure the services of Sheriff Mills for
the arrest of Charley Smith whom he
had seen at Aetna the day before.
Smith is the man who robbed and MUIR
dered one Gus Holland in Woods coun-
ty some time ago and Sunday Is the
first time he had been seen by any of
the officials since the murder. Sheriff
Mills had not yet returned from his Of
fetal business atAetna acknowledgements
ing andas soon as Sheriff McGrath was
informed of the fact he returned to
Aetna and met Mills. On Monday
evening the officers sent for j. B. Gano
and from all appearances things have
gotten interesting. Late on Monday a
report came to the city that Smith was
found and made fight resulting in his
being shot and killed by Sheriff Mills;
but the report was said to be false lat
er. What the outcome will be is hard
to foretell. Smith is reputed as being
a bad and dangerous character and 1t
is said that he has frequently declared
that he will not be taken alive. Up t.

Judge Mckay has decided that the
increased rate of interest provided for
In notes and bondsis in the nature of a
penalty, and not recoverable in court
of equity. In many cases the rate of
interest specified IN the note was seven
per cent per annum with q provision in
the note that after default in payment
of interest on maturity the note should
draw ten or twelve per cent per annum.
This decision is. that the rate of inter-
est SO specified in the note shall contin-
ue until tull payment is made. and
that the JUDGMENT rendered on such a
note shall bear the same rate of inter-
est mentioned in the note. The effect
will be to reduce the amount of judg-
ment, and this in connection with the
redemption law, will enable many
mortgagors and owners of mortgaged
property to pay of the Indebtedness
and retain their homes.-Anthony Bull
