Was Appropriated to
Other Uses.

Serious charges of frauda are made against
Attorney William J.. Scott in a number Of
dispositions filed in the circuit court yes

Rev. Mr.. Gill says in his deposition that
he met Scott here and found he had forged
to the front and was we'll thought of.
Things were prosperous here then, the Rev.
Mr.. Gill had considerable money which he
had got through his marriage. and Scott.
he says, induced him to invest some of 1t
in real estate, with Scott as a partner.
After the minister had returned to his
home, he says Scott wrote and suggested
that they build on the lots, each to share
half the expense. The clergyman agreed,
and sent Scott money from time to time.
After a while Mr.. Gill became suspicious
and came here. He found Scott insolvent.
He says he found that Scott had misappro-
priated money sent him. The only way out

COUNTY COURTS BAD BLUNDER
In Rearranefnr Courtrooms mt Inde-
pendence the Criminal Court 10
Not Provided For.

Ever since the county court saw fit to
claim the criminal courtroom at indie
pendence and made expensive changes in
the offices of the old court building to
favor a few officials who objected to the
arduous labors of climbing stairs. it has
puzzled everybody to know just what dis
position would be made when all Of the
courts of the county should be In session
at Independence. Next Monday the circuit
court will meet in the ppe room of the
court house, where the criminal court has
been in session. and the county court hav-
ing captured the old criminal courtroom
leaves Judge Wofford without a place to
hold forth. A member of the court in
that the coming of so many courts caused
the mixup and the county court would I'M
doubtedly have to remove to some county
Office.
The room fixed up by the country court
for it's own use and benefit is not suitable
for a criminal courtroom, no accommoda-
lions for a jury nor any other accessory
for a criminal court. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the county court made a costly
mistake when it attempted to change Of
fees at the court house to please officials
and the change was needless extrava-
gance.

HE IS AFTER AN ISLAND.
1t Was Once Part of His Farm, but
Moved Out Into the River When
the Channel Shifted.

c. w. Ryan, Of Levasy. was before the
county court at Independence yesterday,
and asked that the island near Levasy be
surveyed. as it rightfully belonged to Jack
son county. A long lagoon separates the
island from the Jackson county side, and
its soil is especially fertile. The court
claimed the island for Jackson county. pre-
sumably by the right of discovery, and
made an order directing the county sur
court.
The island. which contains several acres.
Is contiguous to the land of Mr.. Ryan. and
at one time belonged to his farm, but the
shifting channel of the river cut it Off. II it
should be decided that the land is a part
Of Jackson county, Mr.. Ryan will find his
lost land reclaimed to him and
will likely be the result. Islands are as a
rule controlled by federal authority. and
the outcome of the move of Mr.. Ryan will
be watched with interest.
