In Patrick Corcoran's Estate.

In the estate Of Patrick Corcoran,
deceased, late of the South Side. Judge
Edwards yesterday overruled all the
exceptions to the report OF Auditor

port finally.
The most serious exception. the Judge

of $500 to the administrator. Mrs. Cor
coran. This sum was received by her
after she was charged with the trust
of administrator. She undoubtedly In
tended to secure this sum for her own

of the two propositions made to her,

at little after half past eight on the
night of the 16,h and is postmarked

showed the envelope bearing the post
mark as stated. A bystander re-
marked to the adjuster that Brain
erd here is tickled to hear that state
ment" and the edjuster refused to
talk further. Investigation showed
that an agent iD this city renewed
policy on the evening of July 16 and
one of his clerks took the letter to the
postoffice at little after $50 and put
it in the outside box. He was &C.
companIed by another clerk. The
letter renamed IN this city until
1880 a. m. of the morning of the 18th
and went out on the third mail train
which left the city after the letter
YVES deposited Loss under the pol
icy WAS sustained the night of the
17th. The sojuster looked into the
facts connected with the mailing of
the letter before he would even con-
slider settlement. Finding that the
policy holder and agent had done
their duty. he paid the amount of the
policy. Had the policy been on the
agents properly, he would have had
to collect through the courts
So we say an expert is needed in
the postoffice. Our advice to Mr..
Royce is to get his branch of public
service perfected. and then go after

The Blow Has Fallen.

Monday night Sheriff Yerton, Dep
uty White and Constable Smith went
down to Kirwin, armed with war
rants, and arrested Albert Price,
Charles Rutherford. August Stock
man and William Hall. The infor-
nation upon which these parties
were arrested WAS sworn to by Geo.
Z. Furlong and NJ. NJ. Thompson, of
Agra, who named Roy Barker and
Art johnson as Witnesses and charged
Rutherford with selling alcohol and
the other three with selling beer.
The defendants were brought to this
city and gave bonds for their appear
apce at court in September. AS the
crime with which they are charged is
a misdemeanor. no preliminary was
had At Stockman's place keg of
beer and an empty keg were seized,
while Prices place gave up several
kegs of beer. No spurious liquor
was found. There seems to be some
mistake in Mr.. Rutherford's case, as
it is believed that the wrong man has
been arrested Hall was in the en-
ploy of Stockman.
These arrests were made as re-
suit of the work of the Temperance
association which offered $50 90 re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
violators of the prohibitory liquor
law. Inasmuch as some twenty
counts are charged against the de-
PENDANTS, the prosecuting witnesses
will make quite a stake should they
make their afidavits stand.
The HERALD understands that the
association has information upon
which to arrest almost every drug
gist, billiard hall man or jointist in
the county, but will serve no more
warrants if these parties quit busI-
ness, but If they do not. more arrests
will follow.
