DIES MONIES. oct. 2O-(Special I'm a
case appealed from Marion county the
supreme court today decided that sneriffs
have a right to collect from the county
their expense in executing criminal pro-
cesses. The case appealed was that of
Sheriff L. L. Bybee against Marion county
The law provides for the sheriffs retain
ing their mileage in serving civil processes.
but their mileage in a criminal process
must be turned in to the county. The
supervisors of Marion county refused to
allow the claims Of Sheriff Bybee for ex-
penses and the district court sustained the
action. The supreme court today reversed
this action.
VIII Case Reversed Twice.
In the famous Townsend will case from
Davis county, the supreme court today
reversed the lower court for the second
time. Edith Townsend brought suit to
have the will set aside on the ground that
her rich uncle, j. w. Townsend, had been
unduly influenced in the making of his
will. Both trials in the lower court were
before a jury, and the jury in each case
found for Edith Townsend. She showed
that her uncle had a strong affection for
her; that he had said that his sons would
not assist him in settling the estate II
he willed her anything and that one of
the sons had made a statement that he
would see that the father didn't give her
anything more. The supreme court held
that while this could be introduced os evil
dence It was not conclusive that the uncle
had been coereed and that as long as the
uncle was of sound mind and acted volun-
tarily the will could not be set aside.

The friends of Tom Graham. the deposec

appeal from Custodian McCurdy to TIT
governor. Governor Cummins has beer

Cummlns in the past has made It a prac
tice OF never insisting on the retaining o
