BILL TO DISBAR
 JOHN V. ROBERTS.
Prosecuting Attorney Andrews Seeks to Disbar Roberts From
 Further Practice.

Searcy, Jan. 19. Prosecuting Attorney Andrews has filed a bill in the White county circuit court which is now in session to disbar Attorney John V. Rob- erts, one of the principals in the celebrated Lightle-Roberts insu- rance swindle case. The case has been set for trial next Fri day.
 Roberts will resist the bill and be defended by ex-Attorney Gen. eral Murphy and Judge Stuckey
 The grave robbery cases have not yet been set by the court fol trial, but it is thought that they will not be taken up until the latter part of the session of the court, since it will take two ol three weeks to try them.
 Dr. Lightle has not been seer since the first day of the court and the report that he would plead guilty cannot be confirmed but it is generally understood that he expects to make a clear breast of the whole affair and take the sentence, which by the terms of the agreement is saic to be two years in the peniten' tiary.

If the supreme court upholds de-
cision handed down by Judge Ken
nedy at Sioux City last week, coun-
ties all over Iowa will lose part of the
cost of construction of drainage
bitches. Judge Kennedy held the
county had no right to assess for a
balance of $4,000 due on the Wood
bury-Monona ditch, built under the
old Iowa ditch law, which was de-
clared unconstitutional. He contend
ed that if the law is invalid, so arc
all proceedings undss it. Many bitches
were being constructed in Iowa when
the law was declared void and this
decision would deny the counties the
right to collect the costs. The case
will be appealed.
