VERDICT STICKS AT LAST
THE STATE FINALLY CONVICTS LY-
MAN CURTIS, OF ALLISONVILLE.
Courts Peculiar Action in Granting a
New TriaI-TaNes Must BE Paid
on Iron Hall Funds.

The attorneys for the State are consid-
erably elated over the verdict of the Grim
inal Court jury in the case of the State
against Lyman Curtis, an Allisonville
farmer, charged with drawing a deadly
weapon on his neighbor, Thomas Doyle
This is the case in which there was con-
siderable comment last winter on account
of it's progress in the Criminal Court. The
trouble between Doyle and Curtis occurred
last year over horses that had strayed into
the grounds of Curtis. During the argu-
ment over the animals Curtis drew a re-
volver. He claimed afterward that the
weapon was not loaded, but Doyle testified
that the weapon was so close to his head
that he saw the bullets.
Curtis was tried before Justice of the
Peace Habich and fined one dollar and
costs, amounting to $25. An appeal was
taken to the Criminal Court and set down
for trial while Prosecutor Wiltsie was con-
fined to his home by illness. In December
the case was tried by Deputy Joseph Nor
gan, the court permitting the fine to stand
as assessed by the lower court. BY this
time the costs had run up to something
like $780, The fine was stayed for ninety
days by Attorney Bob Smith. Later an
application for new trial was made and
refused by the court. Afterward. however,
the docket showed that the motion for a
new trial had been sustained. The State
attorneys claimed they knew nothing about
this. They remembered that Judge McCray
had refused a new trial on the first appli-
cation for rehearng when the deputies
were present. But the record showed the
word Sustained" written across the page
containing a record of the motion for new
trial. The case was called up again Mon
day and tried by jury. verdict was
brought in yesterday morning finding Cur
tbs guilty. With the fine and costs Curtis
will have to pay $182 before he is out of

THE DECLINE OF REVENUE
WHEREIN THE BICYCLE AFFECTS
THE EARNINGS OF RAILWAYS.
Big Four shows Increased Earnings
in May-PrOtests Concerning
the New Mileage Book.

Passenger officials, until quite recently,
have taken the position that bicycles cut
into the business of the electric lines but
did not affect the railroads to any extent.
In commenting on this, a veteran passenger
man said. after a careful investigation
1 have arrived at the conclusion that when
people of moderate means invest $75 to 800
in a bicycle they must deprive themselves
Of other articles representing that amount.
There is the cost of the outfit, the main
tanning of the wheel and other features
which the introduction of the wheel has
brought about that cut into the revenue of
the man and woman who spent $25 to S75
a year in travelling. l know that never in
the history of railways was there such
rush for business and competition as sharp
as at the present, and with people all over
the country whiting down their expenses
watchfulness on the part of passenger men
to get business. Another point is that the
home seekers excursions have become
thing of the past, so many times are there
in a year that one can go to these very
points at lower rates than the home seek
ers rates. The mileage book is being used
and abused so extensively that to sell a
coupon ticket is a rare occurrence, so that,
all in all, i think the passenger men have
a good deal to discourage them, the more
SO when our superiors are anxious to have
the earnings show an increase over pre-
vious years. But the point / wish to make
is that the inroadS the bicycle has made
into our business are not fully considered"

IRON HALL TAXES.
Supreme Court Declares Marion COun-
tX Cnn Collect Them.

ty Can Collect Them.
The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down batch of decisions, and among them
was the decision in the case of Marion
county against James f. Failey, receiver
of the Iron Hall. The court reverses the
decision of the Marion Superior Court that
granted an injunction restraining the coun-
ty from collecting taxes to the amount of
$S,62696 on the fund of 1922 847.2S held in
trust by Receiver Failey in this city.
The court dissolves the injunction, and
the county is now at liberty to collect the
taxes. The opinion was written by Justice
Howard, and he says that as the fund is
not held for the benefit of any State coun-
ty literary, educational, charitable or re-
lIgious trust it is taxable. The opinion re-
views the case at. length, and says on the
fund collected from several States for dis
tribution to stockholders from this point:
THE question is whether the property is
within the jurisdiction of this State. That
it is in the hands of q receiver, in this
State, and subject to distribution by him,
an order Of the court Of which he is an
officer would seem to make 1t clear that 1t
must be within, the jurisdiction or the
State. AS well might an admins
traitor claim that he ought not to be re-
CURED to pay taxes on the money IN his
hands belonging to the estate of his de-
cedent for the reason that certain heirs or
creditors residing in other States or In
other countries would have a right to
share in the distribution of such estate on
final settlement Indeed. if there is any
property, whether held in trust. or not,
which should aid in the support of the gov
errment within whose jurisdiction 1t is To-
Gated, certainly it must be that property
which is in need of the care and assist
arce of the courts and officials of the State,
to protect It while here and to secure, on
final settlement, Its fair and Just distribu
ton to it's ultimate owners, wherever they
NAV reside. The receiver himself and the
counsel who aid him. do not act without
COMPENSATION; still less should the State
be called upon to expend her revenues in
the management Of the same trust without
proper return for her outlay.
The contention of the receiver has been
that the money has been held here in trust,
and that the State has no right TO levy
tax on the property. as most OF II does not
belong in this State, but in the states from
80 a. rn,n,,11. has heen COLLECTED.
