BONDS DEFEATED,

Bonds, Not Included in Com

Great Victory.

1t will be remembered that at the
time Of the compromise OF the old Mt.
Pleasant township bonds, given to
the Lexington. Lake 4 Gulf Ry Co.,
that two OF the outstanding bonds
were omitted. These together with
accumulated interest amounted to
$4,000. Some time ago suit was
brought against the township by one
Edwarls, of New York, to recover on
these bonds. About two years ago
the township board employed Smith
4 Denton to contest their payment.
These gentlemen have been notified
that Judge Philips of the Federal
court has sustained their contentious
on the following points:
1st. The county court had no iuris-
diction because original petition
recited undersigned citizens" in
stead OF undersigned taxpayers,
as required by law.
Ind. No election in Mt. Pleasant
township is shown by the Records OF
the county court.
Bird. Original petition of citizens
asking election bad. because it peti
tions county court to sell bonds and
pay proceeds to Ry Co., when the
law required that the bonds wher
issued should he turned over to the
railroad company.
4th. Failure of consideration fol
bonds; railroad never having beer
built
9TH. No valid contract of substitu
ton made TO original Lexington
Chillicothe & Gulf II. h. before coming
into Lexington, Lake & Gulf.
9th. Plalntlif Edwards, While ap
parent owner, was not the real owne
of the bonds.
This case has dragged along TO
years through the courts and Messrs
Smith & Denton, and Wallace 4 Wal
lace, of Kansas City, who they ha,
called to their assistance, can be cor
graduated upon their splendid VII
tory. All the points raised with tn
exception of the 4th and 9th wer

his side
Judge Graves made mani V, dig
nitied campaign and his ability and
fitness for the high Office Of Supreme
Judge was recognized throughout the
convention, it being common ok
preston that he was the most avail
able compromise candidate. 1t was
the opinion of some OF the best post
ed politicians in the state that if the
minority report had prevailed, and
one candidate had been nominated
at time. thereby lessening the op
portunities for combinations, that
Judge Graves would have been nomi
mated And it is no violation OF the
political properties to say that il
took the full st. Louis vote to carry
through the compromise measure.
Neither Judge Graves nor his friends
have grievances. They made thu
very best fight in their power, ant
have no regrets. They are loyalan
