Judge Wants His Full Salary.

Hon. f. o. Sykes, of Aberdeen, the
circuit judge from whose salary the
auditor recently deducted $50, the
amount claimed by Hon. Newman Cayce
for services as special Judge during
the recent term of the Monroe County
Court, objects very seriously to this cur
tailment of his salary, and has instituted
proceedings by which he hopes to com
pei the State to pay Judge Cayce.
Messrs. Alexander Il Alexander. at
torneys, have applied for writ of man
damus to force the auditor to issue to
Judge Sykes warrant to cover the sum
deducted from his salary. Judge Skyes
not only claims that the act of the late
legislature compelling regular judges,
chancellors and district attorneys to
pay specials is unconstitutional, but
that in this particular case the special
judge had been employed prior to the
passage of the law, that he Sykes was
legally barred from trying the case
heard by Judge Cayce having been the
attorney prior to his appointment to
the bench, and furthermore that he
Sykes had not lost a single day of
court. He says he proposes to put the
law To the test.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.

week. All of Northern Mississippi was
startled at the time Of the killing on ac-
co.int of.the prominence of the parties
involved. Cocke's trial lasted ten days.
and during that time 1873 witnesses on
both sides were examined. The case
attracted widespread attention in that
part Of the State. Cooke is prominent
man. and belongs to one of the best
families in Northern Mississippi. he
killed Bray Immediately after having
exchanged shots with Ho1mer Gilmore,
in Senatobia. The State attempted to
prove that Bray was killed while en-
deavoring to perform his duty by ar
resting Cooke for having shot Gilmore.
The latter, according to the testimony.
shot at Cooke first. As Cooke rode into
the town about noon Gilmore is said to
have opened fire on him. Cooke jumped
from his horse and defended himself.
He shot at Gilmore five times and three
of the balls took effect. Sheriff Bray
came round a corner and made for
Cooke to arrest him. The State claimed
that he was trying to peacefully per-
form his duty. The theory of the de-
Tense was different. 1t was claimed
that Bray and Gilmore were in a con-
spiracy to kill Cooke, and that Bray
came upon Cooke. demanding his sur
render with a drawn pistol, and APP
plying vile language to him. 1t was
also claimed that Bray fired the first
shot that started the sequel shooting.
AT the first shot from Cookies pistol, it
is said. Bray fell. Cooke shot several
times at him while he was falling.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
ished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 10Th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash ira in
No. 3, at go a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at II 80
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p m, and ar.
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only UNI
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col.
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.

Ruling by the Revenue Agent.

County Treasurer f. NJ. Howard. of
VI lison county, has received notice
II State Revenue Agent Writ Ad-
ms, stating that county treasurers had
no right to collect commissions on com
mon school funds. This law extends
back To 1855. and all treasurers from
that date will be called upon to pay
back To the State all commissions col
lected ON the school fund, which in this
county will amount to about 81, 600.
Treasurer Howard was elected in 1856.
and his commission on this fund
amounts to $775. This ruling of the
revenue agent will work great hard,
ship, as the fees of county treasurers
only amount to about 81 900 per year.
