MAY SUE
PROSECUTOR
Commissioners are Consider :
ing the Matter.
COSTS IN FURNITURE CASE
Were Assessed Against Com
missioners, Individually.
Trey, Epley and Gillespie May Sue
to Recover the Money From
Clark ur His Bondsmen.
COSTSN FURNITURE CASE

There now seems some probability
that another law suit will grow
out of the "steel furniture case"
in which the circuit court recently
decided that nothing illegal appear
ed in the transaction of the county
commissioners.
In this action Prosecuting At
torney John Ii. Clark, charged
that the commissioners had made
an illegal contract. While the
court in its decision held that
nothing illegal appeared, yet there
seemed to, be sufficient laxity of
business system, to justify the court
in assessing the costs OF the case
against Frank M. Epley, Israel
Trey and j. ID. Gillispie, individ-
ually.
Now it is claimed, the commits
sioners fail to see why they should
be stuck for the costs, when the
action was brought by the prosecu-
tor who failed to make a case. 1t
was stated today. that the commits
sioners will probably pursue one
OF two courses. They will either APP
peal the matter to supreme court
or else settle the costs and then
bring an action against the prose-
cutor and his bondSnen to recover.
AS the matter has as yet devcl-
cped into nothing more than dis
cussion of the advisablity of such
action, it is impossible to say what
course w:al be chosen, but the com
missioners do not feel tha they
should bear The expense which the
prosecutor incurred in not making
q case.
Alleging that she has been per-
manently injured by reason OF the
carelessness of the company, Mary
Wilhelm today filed petition in
the court OF common pleas against
the Hooking Valley Railway Com
pany in the sum of $4,000. She
says that IN April Q, 1906, she
purchased ticket at Middleport,
and the company undertook to carry
her safely to Marion, thence to Chi
cago. 1t is claimed that while
the car, In which she was riding,
was on the track at Logan, an en-
g.ne and cut of cars bumped into the
car which she with others occupied
and she was thrown from her seat
against the window with great force.
The petitioner further claims that
her right shoulder, arm and her
spine were badly injured, SO that
she Is now and always will be un-
able to dress or otherwise care
for herself or perform other house.
hold duties as she performed pre-
vious to the accident. The court Is
therefore asked for damages in the
amount stated above.
Through her attorneys, Scoficld
DmiPee and Scofield, Anna Lloyd
this afternoon filed a petition fol
divorce from her husband, William
Lloyd. The couple were married in
