EXIT RECEIVER.

On Saturday the motion to discharge
the receiver for the INDEX. in the case
| of Jerry Simpson VS.. VIM. Brown et
al, was heard and, contrary to the ex-
pectations of many, it consumed only
| little time. The motion was sustain
ed by consent of all parties and the dis.
solution suit was continued until the
October term. The plaintiff asked aud
was given thirty days to amend his De.
tition, and defendants were given
twenty days to answer; plaintiffs reply
due in ten days thereafter.
This voluntary action on the part of
the plaintiff in agreeing to discharge
the receiver is an open admission that
there were no grounds for his appoint
ment in the first place, and it seems to
us that the plaintiff himself has estab-
llshed the fact that the action was
brought In vindictive spirit, to say
nothing OF the unusual, irregular and
Star Chamber-like manner in which
the receiver was clothed in little brief
authority. But that is matter of the
past and none will hope for Its repeti.
ton. What the dissolution suit will
result In is one of those things which is
yet behind the scenes. We do not
know what the plaintiffs amended pe-
tition will set forth and until we learn
that we will be unable to say what the
newly discovered grievance consists of.
But the Stockholders of the INDEX can
be assured of one thing and that is that
the management is fully prepared to
meet any and all charges which are or
may hereafter be manufactured. We
are sorry, of course, that the plaintiff
persists in believing that this Office will
place ruinous debt upon his shoulders,
but we want to again assure him and
every other partner III this concern that
1t Is not our purpose TO ask any individ-
ual to put up SINGLE cent so long as
we are managing the office. If we can
take hold OF business and lift it from
an insolvent to solvent basis, if we
can pay the running expenses of the of.
flee and liquidate debts contracted by
other parties, to the amount of more
than 81 200, in less than three years.
time, we can certainly manage the
same business now when the office does
not owe dollar and has a small sur
plus on hand. No stakeholder, not ev-
en- one who has such meagre income
as the plaintiff. need feel alarmed about
this office involving him in debt. His
financial standing will not be lowered
single inch by any work of ours.

COMRADES: The time is fast ap-

do honor to our noble dead. Comrades
whose lives were sacrificed for our good

in hand as comrades to be ready and

rial day, originated by our noble and
gallant commander. John A. Logan,
and in doing this act of remembrance
we only show small appreciation of
the noble work they did.
In the words of general order No. 6,
from national headquarters, ''the Ma

for their country, and as comrades we
revere their memories and to the rising
generation that he who dies for his
country's good dies nobly."
Therefore, invite the mayor and
city council, the w. r. o., the ladies
of the e. A. B., the S. of VS., and all
civic orders and especially the Sunday
schools. to unite with us in strewing
flowers upon the graves of those who
gave up home and friends to obey the
country's call.
Everybody should come and spend
the day in memory of the grandest Or
der of the grandest set of men who ev-
er responded to duty's call.

DISTRICT COURT.
w. T.. C.


cupied the attention of the court last
Wednesday and most of Thursday. In
this case j. w. Metz, a Kiowa mer-
chant, sued Bud McCraken on an &C
count of SALT, balance claimed on
bill of lumber. Mr.. McCracken filed
counter claim of 500, claiming dam
ages because lumber was not furnished
according to contract. The defendant
based his claim upon the fact that
plaintiff did not furnish lumber at the
time agreed and that part of the lum-
Der was of an inferior quality. This
the defendant claimed delayed him and
his carpenter and in that way damaged
the house which was partially built, by
rain. settling, etc. The witnesses were
quite numerous and the case did not
60 to the jury before II o'clock Thurs
day forenoon. AT about O'Clock in
the evening verdict for the plaintiff
for sos was returned. The case was
brought up on an appeal from the JUS
tice court at Kiowa where McCracken
recovered damages of $50 against Metz.
The costs in the case are therefore rath-
or high. The following jury sat in the
case:
CT Ware OS BOggs
w 7 Collins VIM Curtis
&c Davis CIV KritZmire
D H Axllne M L Blankenship
B Lacy VIII Thompson

A motion for a new trial will be
heard today.
In the Fields vs. Knowles suit, the
court was delayed considerably on &C
count of the defendants failure to ap-
pear. and accordingly, on Friday, Judge
Mckay continued the case until the
October term provided the defendant
pays the costs of suit up to that time;
otherwise plaintiff will be rendered
judgment in the full amount of the
claim. In this case MIR. Field sues Mr..
Knowles on commission claimed due
on cattle deal. The trial at tie last
term resulted in hung jury.
All except two of the regular jury
were discharged for the term, on Fri
day evening.
On Saturday morning in the case OF
Simpson vs. Brown, motion to discharge
receiver was sustained and the case
continued until next term.
In the afternoon of the same day the
attorneys for E. L. McCracken filed 9
motion for new trial Of the Metz Nc
Cracker case. The petition alleges
that Juror .. s. Boggs used improper
language in the jury room and that be
did not give the defendant a fair trial
because he was prejudiced against E
Sample, one of the defendants attor
neys. Several witnesses were used to
sustain the motion and we understand
that two more-C. F. Ware and M. l.
Rlankenship-haYe been subpoenaed tc
testify when the motion comes up to

No business was done on Monday
and all except one member of the bal
was called away on business in Other

City Attorney McCague has rendered
an opinion holding that the ordinances
published last week were not drawn up
legally and we are therefore instructed
to-republish them. Mr. McCague basis
his opinion on the statute of 'S5 and
says the line, First Published etc.,
must appear at the top. We are not
an expert on technical law but we
doubt whether our last weeks publlca-
ton was illegal. However, if it is, 1t
was no fault Of ours. We followed copy
as it was our duty to do so. 1t was
officially prepared by the city attorney
and had the city clerks's seal. We had
no right to change it in any manner;
this belongs entirely to the city author
tiles. Those who have joined the Cres-
set IN its howl, if they desire to censure
at all, should censure those whom CEN
sure is due.
