WILL NOT
PAY CASH
The Territory Has
Only Bonds for
Claimant.
Auditor Fisher Tells How
Balance Can Be
Paid.
Claims Must Be Bunched so That
Total VIII Equal Amount of
at Least One Bond.

The balance on the fire claims, due
after Treasury Agent MacLennan has
dispensed his million dollars of gold
coin, viii be paid through the Terri
torial treasury in bonds unless the
bond issue is purchased for cash be-
fore the time for payment arrives.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation of s1,5OO.OOO for the payment of
the fire claims. but it was held long
ago that the lawmaking body exceeded
it's power in appropriating money be-
yond the term of its life. So there
would now be due only a half million
dollars TO pay the claims. were it not
for the fact that the Territory does
not possess the requisite cash to carry
the appropriation. which vii of neces-
sity lapse on July 1st of this year
1t would be perfectly proper for Audi
tor Fisher to issue warrants for fire
claims and he would be within the law,
but unfortunately there isn't any
money in the treasury to pay the war
rants if he should, which he doesn't in
tend to do.
The question came up on Saturday
when Hon Quon. manager of Sing Chon
& Co. presented an unpaid fire claim
balance for s235.
The Auditor refused to issue a war
rant for it, Originally the claim had
amounted to SASS, but the ten per cent
paid by the Territory and the balance
paid on Saturday by the bank left only
the small amount remaining, and as a
bond cannot be divided. payment was
refused.
1--WE cannot issue warrants for fire
claims" said Auditor Fisher yesterday,
because there is no money to pay
them. If the bonds had been sold and
the money was in the treasury it would
be different matter. Now the only
way is for the claimants to get togeth-
er sufficient to take at least one bond,
and warrants will be issued with the un-
Outstanding that they will be paid in
bonds. 1t is only a matter of bookkeep-
ing, so that the Territory will have a
record. I was asked Saturday if
would give an I. Q. u. for a small ball
ance of claim, until a sufficient num-
Der We're presented to call for a bond
I replied that I would not Let the
claims be punched in the hands Of some
one person, and then the bonds can be
issued for them. If they total a little
less than the amount of the bond the
difference can be made up in cash. But
no warrants will be issued by me for
fire claims that viii be paid in cash
The money isn't in the treasury, so the
can't be given out in that
manner"
The total number of bonds in the
hands of Secretary Carter amounts TO
S326,0OO, which is few hundred dollars
in excess of the balance which will still
be owing by the Territory after Mac
Lehman has disbursed a million dol
ars. If the banks buy up the unpaid
it will facilitate matters great
", as all the bonds are of thousand
dollar denomination, and can be given
out only for like amount due to
claimants. If the banks or any one per-
son should get control of the entire un-
paid balance. the difficulty over the dis
position of the bonds would be reduced |
20 a minimum

James Thompson Has a Frightful
Accident.

Saturday evening of last week
James Thompson, who has been
working for Mote Douthat in the
Territory, came to Baxter to attend
to some business, after which he
to go to Joplin. He went
to the depot to take the 5:35 p. m.
train, and while eating lunch in
Mrs. Meyerding's dining hall at the
depot his train pulled in. Before
he had finished his lunch the train
started TO leave and he made run
for il. Grabbing hold of the plat
form bars he attempted to jump on,
but missed foothold and rolled
under the train. Both legs were
horribly mangled just above the
ankles and his left hip dislocated.
Thompson was picked, up and ta-
ken into the gentlemen's waiting
room and medical aid sent for. In
a few moments Dire. English and
Jones arrived. 1t was seen that all
hope of saving the injured legs was
useless, 80 they were amputated,
lust above the ankles. The injured
man was made as comfortable as
possible in the waiting room where
he was kept until Tuesday when he
was taken to the Nichols hotel in
this city.
Thompson is fifty.one years of
age and unmarried. He had worked
for Mr.. Douthat several months and
always did his work well. His fa-
ther lives at Osawatomie, Kansas.
The accident which befell this
Door man should serve as a warn
ing to people who are In the habit
of jumping on moving trains.
DEATH RESULTS.
The unfortunate man died about
o o'clock Thursday night. The re-
mains were prepared for burial by
Harvey, but up to the
time of going to press the funeral
arrangements had not been made
Internal injuries caused death.
Over the kidneys were discolored
