n aaz EUnrKA LOAN AND
BUILDING srIr,
SHOUTS BILL REJECTED.
Association is Clearly InsoIvent,
Bonds Must Be Paid First and
Balance to Stockholders.

The opinion Of Judge Henry G.
Hervey IN the Eureka Loan &
Building Association case, which
has been pending quite while IN
the circuit court, was read IN
open court Friday morning by
Clerk Homer W. Williams, who had
received it by mail from judge
Heryey, at Wheeling, to whom the
case was submitted about two
months ago.
Judge Hervey viii be here next
Thursday to enter The decree in the
case, which event viii be one that
VII attract the presence Of many
as there is much interest in the
matter not only BY those directly
interested but by the entire COM
munity.
The decision Of Judge Hervey is
lengthy one and goes into the
matter in detail. The salient
points are here given:
It is held that the cross bill fled
by B. B. Stout and others in be-
half of the stockholders has no
prayer for relief against the Off
GERS Of the association, and the
proof does not scar out the allega-
lions Of the bill, if there is any
prayer in it.
Judge Hervev holds that the as
sociation is clearly insolvent. He
further holds that the Withdrawing
stockholders have no preference
over the other stockholders.
It is held that the bonds were
properly issued by the association
and that their exact value at the
time Of their issue must be ascer-
tanned and then paid in the order
Of their issue. the first series first,
the second series second and so on
down to the last series. After these
Rave been liquidated the stock
holders are to be paid, if any funds
remain.
Judge Hervey holds thai each
series is separate and distinct and
that there must be a settlement OF
each series in, their order. He al
80 holds that interest must not be
paid on bonds, unless the associa-
ton was making the interest at the
time.
MI. Williams, as special commits
sioRer. is reversed on two import
ant points. that Of the Withdrawing
stockholders, whom the special
commissioner Chased as creditors of
the ASSOCIATION. Judge Hervey
places them in the class of stock.
holders and on the same footing
with the other stockholders. The
second reversal is that of scaling
the bonds and paying prorata.
Judge Hervey differs from the
commissioner in This respect as has
already been shown.
Various other matters were
touched upon but they are Of minor
importance. The main points are
against the stockholders as repre-
scented by B. B. Stout and others IN
the suit and in favor of the officers:
One Of the principal effects OF
the decision is to relieve the OH
GERS from blame and liability.
As soon as Judge Hervey comes

wall in order that it might not witness
the scene that was to follow. The in
