COURT AT DADEvILLE.
Week Will Be Consumed in Hearing
 Murder Cases.


 Dadeville Aug. 3.-tSpecial. )--Judge Denson took up the crin<anal docket in the Circuit Court this morning and from pres ent indications the entire week will be devoted to the trial of murder cases. The case of Ellis Berkstresser. the young man who killed Mir. John Fuller at the Stag Saloon here several months ago. was set for trial today.

One hundred and seventy-five spe- cial jurors have been summoned for these four cases besides the regular venire for the week. There are large number of witnesses in each of the murder cases and it will probably take the entire time of the court this week to try these four cases

REJECTED THE OFFER
COUNTY WILL NOT COMPROMISE
 ITS CLAIM.
Boaxd oe Revenue Declines to Accept Propos1tion of Baltimore Bond Company-The Perry Street
 Franchise.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery county yesterday declined proposition submitted by counsel for the Fidelity and Trust Company Of Maryland, to set | tie all claims of the county against that company for about $64,00o.
 It will be remembered that several weeks ago. proposition was made to the board by an attorney for the Fidelity and Trust Company to settle the claims for $61 900. The claims are resultant from the suit of the county against Treasurer John J. Cochran and Dondsmen in the United States Court, where, after two trials, the county received a judgment of about s67,- 900 with acrued interest.
 Both plaintiff and defendant announced that the case would be appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Several weeks ago, however, the trust company made an effort to compromise, which was re- jected by the board. It was indicated that the board was not averse to listening to proposltioGs of settlement.
 Accordingly the attorney for the com pany yesterday. made the offer. The board retired and by a unanimous vote declined to accept the proposition.
 The matter of revoking the franchise of the Montgomery Traction Company on the extension of Perry street, which was fully discussed at the last meeting of the board, was again under discussion yes- terday. Several citizens of that neigh borhood appeared against the company. making the same allegations as at the previous meeting. that the Traction Com pany had violated it's contract in placing tracks on the right side of the roadway instead of locating the tr&,ks in the center of the street, as provided in the franchise.
 Counsel for the Traction Company said that the track was laid according to spe- cifcations furnished by the county en- gineer and that the company although not looking for a lawsuit could stand one If necessary.
 No action was taken on the matter by the board.
