has received large number of tele-
grams and letters asking if ruling had
been made that only subscriptions to

and which ruling applied only to the
conditions Of that particular case, or
to similar conditions in other cases.
The publishers of the New York

sent circulars disappearing the rul-

SIS" continues the brief. Can these
auditors be heard to complain Of
fraud when they concede that the
apportionment by percentage was
agreed to by all the auditors pres
ent?'
1T must be conceded the secretary
acted honestly in making the record
and transcribed it as he believed and
understood the board to intend. Cleri-
cal mistakes, If any exist, should not
he grounds, it is contended, for such
an attack as that made by the Carroll
and Jefferson county, auditors. If the
secretary made mistake. it was in
recording the vote as having been
taken after the motion to distribute
by percentage. Some of the auditors
declare that the vote was taken before
some say, it was after, The burden
of proof is, Of course, upon the de-
PENDANTS contending against the record
A MERE FORMALITY.
. 1t is by no means clear that such
a mistake was made, and before the
record can be impeached the evidence
of mistake must be clear and con-
vincing." We contend the finding
should be, the record Is true and cor
rect and that the vote was taken after
the motion was made and not before.
The matter of whether the vote was
before or after the motion was made
is of little consequence. This is a
mere formality. 1t is submitted the
board distributed the rolling stock in
accordance with the statutes. In con-
ciusion Prosecutor Brookes says: "The
action of this board of appraisers can
not be reviewed unless fraud or gross
irregularity is found and the conclu-
sion We think should be that the
board arrived at it's conclusions on suf-
ficient evidence and their finding must
stand"

LATE COURT NOTES.

After hearing the testimony Thurs
day morning in the case of Stella An
derson against John Anderson, Judge
Amber granted a decree of divorce
ment. The grounds were gross neg
lect of duty, which were sustained by
the testimony submitted. The parties
live in the country just north of Can
ton. Attorney r. II. Day represented
the wife. There was no defense.
JURY is OUT.
The jury in the Catherine Wonderiy
will case retired for consultation at
IL o'clock Thursday. This case has

tested bitterly. Seven heirs are in the
fight for the property disposed of by
the will. Mrs. Seller, the youngest
daughter, was cut off with 81, and
others received small sums. 1t is
claimed that there was undue influence
and that the maker of the will was
not mentally qualified at the time the
instrument was drawn.
Attorneys Rice and T. T. McCarty
represent the plaintiffs and C. c. Up
ham the defendants.
ALIMONY GRANTED.
In the divorce case of Matte G.
Dever against c. II. Dever, the applica-
ton for alimony pending the trial was

and fifteenth of each month. J. A.,
