A Considerable Amount Involved.

Lew Stein brought suit against Ike
to compel the defendant to render him
an accounting in the cigar and bowling
alley business which Heilhronner has
been conducting in East Broadway. The
complaint in the case is warm one
from several points of view.
In his complaint Stein accuses He'll
bronner of having appropriated receipts
of the business to his own use and shad-
ing the transactions with false entries
in the books. One item alleged to have
been diverted in this manner is said t.
be $4,000 and another $50.

to receive 5000 per month for his ser
vices and SIS per cent of the profits of
the business. and Denoon was to get
$3.50 per month and Is per cent of the
profits. On January l the agreement
was modified in such a way that Denoon
was to receive % per cent of the receipts
for six months. This agreement encoun-
bronner. it is claimed. refused to permit
Denoon to further carry out the con
tract.
On January 1. says the complaint, DE

then Heilbronner he says, has handled
all the receipts. deposited them in his
own name and has applied to his own
use from the funds large sums of money:
that on August 25 of last year he appro-
priated $4,000 and applied it on per-
sonal Indebtedness at the Silver Bow
National bank, and on the same date
made $4,000 false entry in the books:
that on the 9Th of November, 1900, he
took $50 from the cash drawer and left
tab for so in it's place.
Stein also says that on January |
Heilbronner rendered him a false ac-
count of the Is per cent profits which
Denoon was to receive from July 20

PASSAGE Of THE BOARD
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL GIVE
THEIR SUCCESSORS GREETING
AT A MEETING TOMORROW
SUPERVISION OF THE JAIL
There Is Lively Contest on
for the Place of super
intendent of Com
structi0n.

The old board of county commissioners
met yesterday afternoon to transact bust
ness for the last time Mayor Smith was
was elected chairman. The matter of
keeping the prisoners while the new Jail
is being built was about all that was
discussed, and this was not discussed
very much, as the commissioners are be-
ginning to feel rather discouraged in
their still hunt for a place to keep the
prisoners.
The board, however, passed resolu-
ton presented by Commissioner Lott,
requesting the common council to- set
aside sixteen cells on the lower floor of
the workhouse for the retention of county
prisoners.
The committee on roads and bridges,
consisting Of the entire board, was given
charge of the resolution, with, the OBJ
ject of waiting on both bodies of the
council and the mayor 1t will probably
be deemed necessary by this committee
to also request the common council to
call special meeting for the purpose of
considering this resolution. If such is
the case, the workhouse board will un-
doubtedly be called into the conference
The report of Assistant County Attor-
ney Zollman, that the judges OF the dis
trict court favored q temporary jail, was
received.
The applications of ex-County Commits
sioner Neis J. Ness and the outgoing
county surveyor, Gates A. Johnson Jr.,
for the appointment of superintendent o
construction on the new Jail, were re-
ceived and placed on file The application
of o. L. Rhouane for the same place Is
also before the board, and the new board
of county commissioners are liable to
have almost as hard 9. time making this
appointment as they are having with the
problem of finding quarters for the pris-
oners. 1t is rumored that as the board

THEY MUST BE WRITTEN
CONTRACTS WITH SCHOOL TEACH.
ERS NOT VALID OTHERWISE.

Attorney General Douglas has lust
rendered an. opinion which will crea tie a.
great zeal of interest amongst school
teachers throughout the state.
Some time ago the school directors in
town in Cass county decided to remove
a teacher and give her another place.
This was TO make room for new
teacher. Objections oWere raised on the
ground that the teacher who had been
displaced had a verbal or parole con-
tract with the school directors Friends
of both teachers took sides and the con-
troversy grew untilsit- came to the at
tention of Superintendent of Public III
struction Lewis, who referred the mat.
ter to Attorney General Douglas. Fol
lowing is his opinion:
Replying to yours of Dec. 70. I beg to
eoVlse you that school teachers who are
teaching linden verbal contracts with the
board, cannot enforce contracts which
tne law requires must be in writing
Whether the teacher would have any
remedy against the members of the
written contract is question which
must be determined by the teacher her
self, with the aid of private counsel.
Where board has employed a teach
er without written contract and the
teacher has performed services. in my
opinion, she is not legally entitled to
compensation from the school district
and the board would be authorized to
appoint another teacher and execute a
written contract WITH such second teach
er. 1t is against public policy and COM
mon justice for school board to employ
a teacher and refuse to give her a writ
ten contract
Supt. Lewis is now wondering whether
the opinion decides the controversy as it
ought. He says it might now be claimed
that the school directors had no right
to pay the first teacher salary for her
services 1
