Allen County Cases.
Fsom the Fort Scott Monitor

Fsom the Fort Scott Monitor
This session Of the court of appeals
for this district opened yesterday
morning with Judges Schoonover,
Wilton and Dennison, and Clerk
hampe all present.
The many cases from A lien county
ire The center of attraction in this sit
ding.
The case Of the state against the
officers Of the Bank of Moran, which
was brought here on habeas corpus
proceedings, was dismissed, and the
petitioners discharged, owing to de-
feet in the information filed I'm the
lower court. The county failed to
verify the information. The petit.
tioDers were represented by Oscar
Foust N Son aud A. II. Campbell.
This was u suit brought by Chris
Ritter, then county attorney of A lien
county. Joshua Rumble, j. II. Ross.
w. a. Ross, VIM. Parke and Ed A.
Brown, respectively president,
cashier and directors of the Moran
bank, were arrested by the county
attorney charged with failing to hold
regular director meetings and re-
quire the cashier to give bond as is
required by law. Previous to the ar.
rests the bank failed and is still in
hands OF the receiver. The case was
thrown out of the lower c0nrt at the
first trial on account of faulty infofN-
nation. The officers were immedi-
ately rearrested aud the defendants
came to this court via the habeas
corpus route with the above results.
This ends the case.
The other Allen county cases are
the celebrated HquOr cases in which
w. Il. McElroy, mayor of Humboldt,
A. l.. Taylor, ex-mayor of lola, Jacob
Gard, police Judge, are petitioners for
release from custody on habeas corpus
proceedings. They are each charged
with violating that portion of the pro-
hibitOIy law which provides shat it
is the duty of the city officers to
furnish list Of witnesses and make
complaint to the county attorney
against viOlators of the law. There
are also "a number of Allen county
liquor men here as petitioners for re-
lease on habeas corpus proceedings.
All the cases were yesterday present
ed upon one argument. counsel upon
aidao ha hnt
point The attorneys who are here
representing the petitioners are Oscar
FOust N Son, A. II. Campbell, H. A.
Ewing. County Attorney Gard and
brother, sous of one of the petitioners,
argued for the state.
SOM very interesting points Of law
were raised by the attorneys for the
petitioners during the course Of the
arguments. They claim that that
section ofthe prOhibitOry law which
cOnbpels city officials to furnish the
county attorney with list of wit
nesses and make complaint against
liquor men is unconstitutional, and
that it was practically declared so
whe0 the supreme court unclothed
the county attoTney with the power to
subpOenae witnesses at his own con-
venisnce and compel them to answer
questions. regRDding the violation of
the liquor law, for the purpose OF
gettDg evidence against viOlators.
rhis question has never been raised
before but tho attorneys declare it is
undOu btedly void for the reason
that it Is unc9nstitutionAl.
AL the cases were submitted and
are now under advissment, but no
opinion is expected before the next
si1aing.

The program was full Of fun and in
every number was a display OF talent
The costumes were striking and ap-
propriate and the performer wore
plenty Of darkness-which sooted their
compilations.
rhe singing was enjoyable through
out and that Of the quartette was es-
pecially so. The jokes were new and
rich and the local hits were good
naturedIy pointed. The stage move
ments were exceedingly graceful.
The entire program was splendldly
rendered and enthusiastically received
but the climax was reached in the cake
walk, whose good points are beyond
description. The audience cheered and
chssred and everybody was sorry that
everybody else in town was not there
to see the fun. Four couples partici-
pated and their antics were inimltable.
The couple getting the heartiest ap-
plause was to get the cake but all four
merited and received such hand-clap-

judge who won. It was finally divid-

WITHDRAWAL OF S. P. RATE
Not Intended as a Discrimination, but
in Consequence of a Shortage
Of Equipment.

Mr.. J. c. Mayo. general passenger
and freight agent Of the Astoria and
Columbia River abroad, was seen by
an Astorian representative yesterday
in regard 10 the recent withdrawal Of
the S. P. rate on lumber. an action that
is Of much Importance TO local ship
peS.
Mr. Mayo says he was told by Mr..
Markham. general freight and passen-
ger agent Of the S. p, that the only
reason for the withdrawal of the rate
was the lack Of equipment, most Of the
available flat-cars being used in gov
eminent contracts in California. The
demand for cars, which the company
could not supply. was so constant and
SO insistent that the rate was with
drawn.
To show that the object Of the order
was not to discriminate against this
section. Mr.. Mayo points out that the
rate on hox shocks and other stuffs
that can b. carried in box-cars is still
in force. The lumber rate is Withdrawn
all along the line Of the S. P. The or
der simply meant that the company
lacked the faeilities to do the business.
