WORK FOR THE COUNTY CLERK
Attorney cites Law Requiring HIM to
File and COuntersign
Tax Receipts.

There IL more work for the county clerk
and an old law which has been honored
in the breach for years is again operative
in Douglas county. The law was brought 10
the attention of Judge Dickinson in the
trial of suit in which Mary F. Pollard Is
seeking to enforce a tax lien against j. n
H. Patrick Attorneys for the plaintiff in
troduced In evidence the tax receipts for
money paid by her as taxes upon property
which stands in the name of the defendant.
The attorney for the defense Immediately
objected to this evidence. holding that
under the state law It was not competent
to show the receipt Of money by the treas
urer. He called attention to section eS,
chapter xviii article i. which provides that
no receipt given by a county treasurer
shall be accepted as evidence OF payment
OF money to the treasurer unless the re
ceipt be countersigned by the county clerk.
The law provides that the treasurer shal!
issue receipts in duplicate. both being given
to the person paying the money; that the
payer shall then take both receipts to the
county clerk. who shall place one on file
in his ONCE and countersign the other.
There is no record that this law has ever
been observed in Douglas county. but under
the terms OF tho statute all tax lien cases
must be based upon countersiEnsd receipts.
II is said at the once OF the county clerk
that II this law is to be observed Il will
require one mans constant time counter.
signing receipts and filing the duplicates,
and that provision must be made for the
preservation Of the duplicates.

Will ASK CHANGE of VENUE
state VIII Seek TrinI Elsewhere In
Kentucky's Feud Murder
Case.

JACKSON. KY, June 1.-The incident Of
today In which most interest centered
and which came as surprise was the an
nouncement by Commemorative Attorney
Byrd at the afternoon session Of court
that he would ask for "a change Of venue In
the trials of Curtis Jett and Tom White.
Judge Redwine indicated that the change
would he ordered 1t had been agreed
previously that q special venire would be
summoned from another county and tho
prosecutor had announced only last night
that he would not ask a change of venue.
The reason assigned is the impossbility
OF attorneys for the defense and the prose-
cution agreeing on n special bailift to per-
form the duties Of sheriff
Assuming that the resistance of the de-
fense to the change will be of no avail,
the question Of first Importance to Jack
son now Is. will the troops be withdrawn?
1t is freely predicted tonight that II this
course is adopted the witnesses for the
prosecution must either flee OF II they re-
main they must risk assassination.
When the regular term of the circuit
court convened today. with Judge Redwine
on the bench, Sheriff Callahan and five
deputies were sworn in.
The twenty men summoned for the reg
ular grand jury were called and only nine
responded. The other places were filled
by farmers, summoned by Sheriff Calla-
han. Judge Redwine In instructions to the
grand jury said Breathitt county was full
Of crime and had few convictions. He spoke
strongly and feelingly for law and order
and concluded:
have never believed that homicides
should be tried by g. jury. from the vicinity
of the crime, but IL is the law and that
must be followed, There has been but one
hanging In the history of Breathitt county
out OF the many trials for murder. There
are some cases in this court that / will
not risk with a Breathitt county jury but
will go outside for Jurors.
Judge Redwlne undoubtedly referred to
the Jett and White cases.
A great commotion was created in the
court room by the accidental discharge of
a rife OF sentry outside the court house
who was loading his gun preparatory to
going on duty. The bullet struck the wall
of the court house without injuring any
one. Colonel Williams Immediately ordered
the soldier under arrest.
Curtis Jett and Thomas White were
brought into court today by soldiers and
turned over to Sheriff Callahan for trial
The attorneys on both sides were present
to consider the appointment of another
elsor for this term OF court as Sheriff
Callahan does not want to act.

CATTLE-There was quite liberal run
of cattle reported this morning, but a num-
Der CT them were consigned direct to pack
ers, SO the actual number on sale was light.
A few OF the trains were late in arriving,
but, considering the heavy rains, there was
not as much delay as was anticipated.
Packers were all anxious for stock this
morning and the buyers started out early
and bought up everything in sight at much
higher prices, The fact that the Kansas
CITY plants were shut down made packers
very largely dependent upon Omaha and
Chicago Tor their supplies.
The beef steer market was active and
could safely be quoted 1O4l6c higher than
the close of last week. All kinds sold
freely, as there were evidently not enough
cattle in sight to fill packers orders In
great many cases sales were made that
looked fully zoe higher than the same kinds
sold for last week and buyers were calling
the market l593c higher. The cattle
changed hands as rapidly as offered, so all
the early arrivals were soon disposed of.

not discriminate against any class, but
