CONTROVERSY OVER MONEY.
The Courts Engaged in Unraveling a
Business Tanele.

A fight for the possession Of certain
money retained in the treasury of the
United States as, 10 per cent of payments
ON certain sewer contracts in the District
is now occupying the attention of the local
courts. Th9s contracts were made with E.
o. wagenhurst apd Robert M Moore. and
the money Is claimed by Elias Wineland,
on account of an assignment made to him
by Robert M Moore. 1t Is alleged, how
ever that both partenrs, Wagenhurst and
Moore, had assigned the money to John e.
Reyburn to- whom they were Indebted for
money advanced.
Wfneland brought suit against Wagon
hurst and ReybAFn. and obtained decree
declaring him the owner of the money No
.yember Is, 1pOl. That decree was annulled
by the action of the Court Of Appeals,
which reversed the decision of the lower
court and refused to permit the dismissal
without prejudice to the bringing of an
other suit A second suit was filed by
Wineland. which was decided in, the Dis
trict Supreme Court as the other had been,
Appeals, where 1t now rests
In the meantime Mr.. Wineland endeav-
ored to collect the money In the treasury
but was prevented by Wagenhurst and his
attorney, who requested that the money be
retained until the Court Of Appeals shall
have decided the case. For making this
reauest wagenhurst and his attorney have
been cited to show cause why they should
not be adjudged guilty of contempt for vio-
lation of the last order of the court giving
Wineland possession Of the money
The contempt proceedings will be heard
in few days. =:

We regret that the citizens Of Pros

We regret that the citizens Of Pros
perity refused to vote the bonds for
the erection of q school building in
keeping with the progress of the town
in other respects. We feel sure those
who voted no on this question will
themselves regret it. We do not like
to see any town do anything to retard
it's educational development and ad-
vancement. The int, rest on these bonds
would have been so small that no one
could possibly have felt the increase in
taxes. A former citizen of the town,
and one who still pays considerable tax
there, said, i'll speaking of the result,
that he hoped to see the trustees ask
for an issue of $40, 900 worth of bonds,
and call an election on that question.
Five thousand dollars would erect q
handsome and comfortable school build,
ing, and the town and the school nceC
just such a building.
