In the United States supreme eours
an opinion was handed down the other
day In the case Of Woodruff. Trustee,

from the supreme court Of tha. state.
The case involved the validity of
bonds issued by the levee board Of the

sissippi river. which had been ques-
toned because the bonds were made
payable in gold. The supreme court
of the state had decided that the bonds
were void because the law did not au-
thorize the payment Of the bonds in
any particular kind of money. The
opinion OF the federal supreme court
was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller.
The opinion OF the court below was
reversed aud the case remanded-
