DUNCAN TRUSTEE LAW
COURT n ATTORNEY GENERAL
DIFFER AS TO THE CONSTRUCTION.
The "okIahoma" Wild West Shooting
ARRAY i'm COurt-AnOther Heavy
& Co. and Bradstreet's.

The Duncan trustee-law was declared un-
constitutional by Judge S. ?. Thompson. of
the Newton Circuit Court, Thursday. The
commissioners and trustees, and is that:
Time warrants or notes, as an evidence Of
Indebtedness, being the only warrants
which a trustee issues, they are necessarily
the only ones described by law. The attor-
ney general gave an opinion shortly after
the law was passed by the Legislature, and
he holds: That the auditing board should
meet every month, on the first Tuesday Of
the month; that warrants should be issued
for every expenditure made by the trustees
excepting for the pay of teachers. and that
all such warrants should be submitted to
and passed upon by the auditing board;
that the trustee is not permitted to eXpend
money except for the pay of teachers with
out the consent of the auditing board; with
reference to warrants outstanding before
they are paid, the accounts for the same
should be investigated before they are paid;
that the act in question not only applies to
Indebtedness created hereafter, but to war
rants issued heretofore.
The opinion of the attorney general is
very different from that of the trustees and
Judge Thompson. In this county, owing to
the construction generally put upon the
law by trustees, no steps have been taken
toward carrying out the law as interpreted
by the attorney general. Trustee Make
peace has funds on hand to meet all ex-
fore, nothing for the commissioners to
audit.

ANOTHER $4,000 VERDICT.
Conductor s. G. HATS Administrators
Receivers This Amount

Another heavy verdict in a railway dam
age suit was rendered in the Superior
Court yesterday. The plaintiff in this case
is George E. Hiatt, administrator of the es-
tate of Samuel c.. Hiatt, deceased. The
latter was a conductor in the employ of
the Pennsylvania Railway Company in 1893.
During the month of October that year
he was killed in a wreck which occurred
near the suburb of Irvington. Hiatt started
east with a train of twenty-six cars made
up in the city yards. According to the evil
dence in the case, the cars equipped with
air-brake appliance were made up imme-
diately back of the engine, while those hav-
ing hand brakes were in the rear of the
train. The wreck was caused by the rear
cars crashing into those in front. Conduc-
tor Hiatt was instantly killed He left a
widow and two small children who had
been dependent on him for support. The
suit was brought by the administrator on
the ground that the train was made up in
a negligent manner by the unskillful yard
men. The complaint asked for $40, 900 and
the jury, after celebrating half of Thurs
day night, brought in a verdict for 81, 900
less than the amount asked for. The case
was tried in Room 2. On Thursday, in Room
/, a jury awarded Mrs. Catherine Arm $1,000
on account of the death OF Frederick Arm,
who was killed while employed by the Big
Four Railway.
