TAX PAYERS WIN BIG SUIT.
Supreme Court Affirm Circuit Court
In Stone Roads Case.

The Supreme Court of Indiana
last week, in affirming the deci-
sion of the Marshall county circuit
court in the case of the board of com
missioners of LaPorte county against
Charles Wolff, ct al, practically end
ed one of the most bitter legal con-
tests that has ever been commenced
in LaPorte county. By the verdict
the taxpayers of LaPorte county are
saved about $4,000 because the con-
tractors, to whom had been awarded
the construction of the stone roads,
failed to fully comply with the speci-
fcations.
The action was prosecuted by the
Good Roads league, which was organ
lied by the taxpayers of Springfield,
Coolspring and Michigan townships.
The county commissioners, John
Weaver, James Taylor and William
Steigely, had awarded a contract to
A. Runyan & Co. for the construction
of 25 mills of macadam roads in the
three townships named, but the work
was not satisfactory to the people,
who brought suit against the contrac-
tors and commissioners in the La
Porte circuit court to enjoin the pay
ment of more money to the contract
ors, on tn ground that the contractors
were in collusion with the commits
sioners to construct the roads without
regard to the plans and specifications
that insufficient material was being
used and that the work was being
slighted TO the great injury of the
roads The case was venued to the
Marshall county circuit court, the
trial at Plymouth occupying more
than a month. Judge Capron, who
presided found for the plaintiffs, cut
ting $4,000 from the contract price
The contractors, who were the real
defendants, at once appealed to the
supreme court, the records in the
case being the largest ever sent to
Indianapolis from this part of the
state.-LaPorte Herald.

MONEY GONE?
Brodie Duke Supposed to Have Once
Had Plenty.

Durham. N. c.. Jan. 19.-Only
Durham knows the real Brodie l..
Duke, whose younger half-brothers.
James b. and b. n. Duke, after
twelve years of partnership with him
in the tobacco firm of w. Duke, Son
& Company, at the formation of the
tobacco trust in 1890 shared alike
with him the division of s7,500,000.
Three years later Brodie L..
Dukes brothers stepped between
him and his creditors. but it is be-
lleved here that since then he has
been a very large beneficiary of his
father, the aged Washington Duke,
now in his S7th year. In this town
of 10000 inhabitants Duke has a
handsome residence located in a
small grove. He once owned $50
acres of land, which is now, accord
ing to common report, well mort
gagged.
In 1890. when the American To-
bacco Company was formed, each of
the five partners received $1,500,000
which insured to Brodie l.. Duke an
annual income of $4,000, provid-
ing he retained possession of his
holdings. His first check for divi-
dends upon his common stock alone
was $4,000. The stock then turned
over to him by his brothers is worth
several times as much today.
