guilty of brutally maltreating the

4 Steele, teachers in said school, bog
leave to submit tho following renort !:
We have secured tho testimony of all
| persons who were supposed 10 have wit

examination and consideration of said

opinion that the charges are unfounded
and unsupported by the evidence. In
reference TO the second charge, as made
by Mrs. Bail, viz That the only pro

that either her father OF uncle or some
other relation should be in tho Board
OF Education, that this fact alone on

absolutely no evidence in support OF

the charge declined to offer any evil

principal of No. -, however, positively
swears that there is no truth whatever
in the charge. We respectfully ask
that the board take such action as may

is respectfully submitted.

a fraud and the worst variety of dema-

More Trouble for Lonnie,

Lonnie Stephens is having more trou-
State. There seems TO be crookedpess
all along his pathway. Now the stock
holders of the Fifth National Bank are
dissatisfied with his management of
the receivership. and are about to have
him investigated. The condition of the
case at present is indicated by the fol-
lowing statement:
AS stated in city paper. Judge
Valiant has given permission for a
compromise in the ease of Frank e.
Bridges against Lon Y. Stephens. as
receiver of the Fifth National Bank.
The compromise was for Si.150. and a
Judgment for that amount was en-
tered for the plaintiff.
This is the suit in which Lon
Stephens was shown up as u man who
hadn't kept his word. The suit was
originally for 5000. being the claims
of the Altheimer Bros. and Julius
Thoss.
stephens was appointed receiver OF
the Fifth National Bank in 1887. Al
theimer Bros. had claim of SI.530
against the bank. and Thos> had a
claim of $500. Stephens promised to
settle the matter out of court. The
matter dragged along for about four
years. Attorney Montague Lyon then
called on Stephens and reminded him
. of the fact that If the matter was not
settled soon. the claims would be void
on account of the fve-vear limitation
act. Stephens then gave his word of
honor that if the ease was not settled
within the five years. and suit had TO
be brought. he would not plead the
statute of limitations. He not only
failed to settle the matter out of court,
but when suit was brought he went
back ON his word of honor. and did
plead the limitation act. He also ad-
mitted having made the promise, but
held that it was not binding, because
ii was not in writing.
1.-The case was fought bitterly. The
Circuit Court decided against Bridges,
but the Supreme Court reversed the
decision, and held that the promise was
binding.
The fact that Stephens is now will
ing to disgOrge Sl.150 of the $1,000
shows. it is claimed. the weakness Of
his case. and is considered a clean
knockout for him.
THE other claimants against the
bank are now likely to push their eases
