nAINER WRITES A BOOK.


"The Modern Law OF Municipal Sc
curities" is the title of new law text
book, now in press, which was written
and compiled by City Attorney Bayard
T. Hainer The big law publishing
arm Of Bowen Merrill q Co, of Indian
apolis, has the contract for issuing the
new volume, aud will pay MIR. Hainer
royalties On all sales The book is
ably written and will contain nearly
! 200 pages. The Bowen-M Merrll people
closely examined the work, and the
manuscript was placed In the hands Of
we'll kno jurists, one of whom says
Of II; 81 have carefully examined
Hainer's treatise on "rhe Modern Law
of Municipal Securities" aud unhesi-
tatingly endorse II AS "A very excellent
and indispensable work. IL will be a
standard authority for the bench, ani
bar upon one OF the most important
branches OF public corporations. aud
will take its place with such valuable
books as Dillon on Municipal Corpora.
tions and Daniels on Negotiable In-
struments."
Mr. Hainer was prompted 10 compile
the book short time after be became
city attorney, when mis- desk was flood
ed with old city warrant eases. He
wrote TO various law publishing houses
for authorities on municipal securities,
but to his surprise learned that there
was no exhaustive treatise touching
this important banch. Many text
books contained Two and three chap
ters on such matters, but there was no
exclusive work on the securities Of
cities. Mr.. Hainer at once began com
piling modern decisions and law con
cerning municipal securities exclu-
sively, and the book now ia press Is
the result. Mr.. Hainer is not only an
able lawyer, but a terse, comprehen-
sive writer, and his first book making
effort promises u give him much fame

rARsNEY.s DECISION
An importsn, raA Matter for Legislative
Consideration.

Consideration.
Tax on personal property Is not a
lien until levy OF warrant and thea
subordinated to prior mortgage lien.
This question was settled by q decision
OF Judge Tarsney, in the Blaine coun-
" court last week. The circumstances
were these;
The sheriff Of that county levied
upon a house TO satisfy . personal
property tax; the house was encum ber-
ed by ehattel mortgage and the
owner OF the mortgage replevined the
house from the sheriff, claiming that
his lien was ahead Of the tax. Judge
Tarsney held that the levy was good
but the sale Of the sheriff would have
TO be made subject TO the mortgage
lien; that the mortgage, under the
present law, was prior to the tax; that
the tax Is not a lien until the levy.
Under the existing statutes this Is
doubtless correct and IL would seem
advisable to place the public ahead OF

FLEURY TAKES A FURRY,
Bank Robber Creates An Exciting
Scene in st. Paul Prison.

st. Paul, March 1.-Tom Fleury, one
of the bank robbers of world wide
notoriety, now serving long terms in
the state prison at Saltwater for the
robbery of a messenger of the Mer-
chants National bank of this city, of
$4,000, three years ago, caused an eXcit-
ing scene at the prison today on the
occasion of the visit of the legislature
to that institution. Among the con-
victs who listened to an address of
Senator Wyman in the assembly hall
was F'leury, who. as soon as the ad-
dress was finished. sprang to his feet
and insisted on making a speech. The
guards made a rush for him and there
was great excitement
L want to tell" shouted Fleury at
the top of his voice, that 1 was I'M
justly convicted. 1 was sent here on
trumped-up evidence, and 1 am suf-
fering for somebody else has
done. There the guards made
a concerted rush and caught
Fleury in their arms. He strug-
gled and tried to get away while
the women in the party fed and the
legislators stood aghast AS he was
being pulled and tugged across the hall
to the cell section, he yelled at the top
of his voice: Il am wronged man.

mony, and it is shame and a disgrace
to you ALL
Fleury will be kept in solitary con-
nnement for some time.
