Judge Scott Takes the Norris Case
Under Al Y Inemcnt.

Mrs. Annie Norris, who gained con-
siderable notoriety some time ago because
of her arrest, charged with the larceny OF
jewery of considerable value from local
jewellers. and who has been on trial in
the Criminal and Police Courtss was again
arraigned in the latter court yesterday for
her.
When Mrs Norris was arragned several
weeks ago her attorney. E. B. Hay, asked
Judge Scott TO impose a sentence and then
suspend II, stating that similar action
had been taken by Justice Bradley in the
higher court. Attorney Hay gave as a
reason for the action requested that the
merchants who had suffered because of the
thefts OF the defendant had been indemni
fed and were disinclined TO prosecute.
Mr.. Hay stated further that one merchant
had addressed letter to Justice Bradley
requesting that sentence in the case OF
the woman be suspended.
Judge Scott, after hearing the statement
of Attorney Hay, suggested that ii would
be necessary to have a similar letter ad-
dressed to him. and that the merchants
who had declared themselves as not in
tending TO prosecute make such a state
ment in court. Accordingly, when the casa
was called at 1890 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing Messrs Dobbins, Castelberg, and Gold
smith. jewelry merchants. appeared and
testified that they had been satisfied by
the return of their goods and that they did
not desire to prosecute. The matter was

S. 7. Thomas, Attorney for the District,
has handed an important opinion to the
Commissioners relative TO the matter of
accepting sewer assessments served upon
residents and non-residents of the Dis
trict. The opinion was in connection with
4 request made some time ago by James
i. Barbour, for permission to pay sewer
assessments against lots 16 and II. in
square $50. without interest and costs. MI.
Barbour stated that the records of the Dis
trict would show that the assessment was
served upon John a. Hamilton. Mr.. Bar
bOur stated as the reason 70! his desire
TO pay the assessments that the notice had
been improperly served that at the time
the property was in his name, and BE-
cause Mr.. Hamilton. having ro interest in
the property. had doubtless mislad or
failed TO hanC him the notice. The matter
was then referred to Attorney Thomas,
who ruled as follows:
The ground OF this application is thhG notice OF
the assessments was not properly served upon Mr.
Barbour, the owner of the lots. Service ''Mr
John A. Hamilton, who said he would hand bills
to Mr. Barbour" is insufficient. Notice Of sewer
assessments must be saryed upon the owner OF the
lots il he i, a resident. and his residence known,
and if hc be a nonresident, his residence un-
known, then upon his tenant agent, as the case
may be.
My opinion is that il would he good administra-

His Methods Fooled the Man Whe
stood Behind the Desk.

The cashier of thriving bank in q
big western town was doing the talk
ing.
when l began my career in tho
banking business, he said, 1T was iC
an old established bank in an Ohio
city to which my father had been
elected president. We didn't live in
the town until his election and moved
there when he took charge. After
about six months experience I was
made assistant receiving teller, and
between that and my youth, and the
fact that my father was president, ]
guess l was about four sizes too large
for the earth. But L got over it, and
one day when there was a lull and
the receiving teller had gone across
the street to look after a check that
he had taken l popped up to the win
dow and took my first lesson. A
rough-looking old fellow came in that
/ thought was farmer from Hayville.
He came straight for me, and said he
wanted to deposit some money. It
wasn't my business to undertake q
new customer, but l thought | knew
it all, and began to talk to him. He
said he wanted to deposit cent that
day, but had more. Well, 1 gave him
the ha ha then and there, and told
him to run around to the Dime Saw
ings Bank and become a depositor on
the installment plan. l also said some
more funny things, and after 1 had
had all the fun there was he said that
while he wished to deposit only a
cent that day, he would put in two
cents next day, and four next, and
so on for four weeks. l gave him the
laugh again and told him we really
couldn't do a small business like that,
and he must be a good boy and run
along to the penny ante bank around
the corner. Then he went away and
L was still laughing when the receiv-
ing teller came back.
81 told him what was making me
smile and he looked at me kind of
| funny, l thought, and went to figur-
ing on sheet of paper without fur
ther comment. Presently he handed
the paper over to me. That old fell
low he said, is a millionaire, whose
business we have been after for a
year. Those figures will show you
that what you consider is a penny
ante bank business would have
amounted to something over $40, 600
in the four weeks, or twenty-four
banking days, during which he wished
to deposit his money. Hes a crank,
but he's got the cash, all the same,
and we want him. Just what effect
your able funny business has had on
him I can't say, but suppose you 60
and talk to your father about it, or do
you want me to report it to the cash
Ter and let him see the president?'
Il had cold chills and collapse and
a lot more things during the next Eve
minutes, and then 1 mustered up
courage and went to my father with
the story. He promptly reduced me
to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per
cent, and learned whole lot in the
next six months, by which time we
had the old fellow all right, and /
was made assistant again, but I
wasn't the same kind of a one by a
good DEAL"
