RE-HEARING GRANTED.
But Court has MT Changed its Views
as to Principles lnyolved.

The Supreme Court yesterday gran
ted rehearing in the case of Ellis
County VS.. T. F. Thompson. In gram
ting the rehearing Judge Brown wrote
an opinion In the case, in which he in
fleet stated that the court had not
changed it's view as to the principles
involved, but only granted the re-
hearing in order to adjust the amounts
due Ellis county, which were erro-
neously held out by Thompson, who
was county clerk.
This is the case wherein Ellis coun-
ty brought suit to recover fees from
the county clerk, which he had col
lected over and above the statutory
limitation. The law authorizes the
county fee officers to retain one-fourth
of the fees collected over and above
that fixed amount, and pay his depu-
ties and office expenses out Of the
remainder. Ellis county contended
that the salaries of deputies and office
expenses should first be paid out of
the excess, and that then the off
Ger is entitled to one fourth of the
remainder.
The supreme court decided ia favor
of Ellis county some weeks ago, and a
rehearing Is not allowed on this point,
but only as to the minor matter of q
correction In the amount recovered.
This will affect county officers all over
the state.

ARRESTED FOR The
QUINN MURDER
Two Men Alleged to Have Confessed
Completely in the Crime-Ac-
cuser Failed to Appear.

The mysterious murder of Mary
quinn, which occurred in Keyser VAL
ley on June 2, has again been brought
to public notice through the actions of
an insurance agent named George
Holman. who resides ut 326 Larch
street, this city.
From what can be learned of the cir
Cumstances, it seems that Holman
overheard a conversation between two
men in Il Lackawanna avenue bar
room, in which. he alleges. one of the
men confessed completely in the mur-
der of the quinn woman.
This information was communicated
to the police. who did not place much
credence in Hohman's story. The in
foImant then related the story to Dis
trict Attorney Lewis. and County De-
tcctive Phillips, and all three went be-
fore Alderman Ruddy, where Holman
reiterated the story.
Warrants were issued for the two
men in question, and a hearing was
arranged for Saturday evening. The
men supected We're present, but Hoh-
man failed to appear against them.
and they We're discharged.
Since then Holman has not been seen
The story he told seemed rather con-
vincinS, but the suspects appear to be
innocent of the crime and officials do
not attach much truth to the statement
made by Holman.
Both accused men live in keyser
Valley and bear good regulations.

the public, which has acquired II pre-
scriptive right of way over the land in
question. The land was used as a rec
ogniZed public way for over twenty
years before suit Was brought and the
plaintiff, therefore, must continue to
