gation.

Sheriff Carroll and Clerk Rus sell were inattendance upon a special term of the chancery court at Eureka Springs the latter part of last week. The session was held in order for Judge Humphreys to hear the pleas of intervention asking the court to declare certain deposits in the Citizens Bank as preferred claims. Among the number and fair sample of all the various pleas, amounting to about S38OOO, was that of J. D. Hailey's claim as collector of taxes. His claim was for S4100 on the grounds that it was deposited as county money and in his name as collec- tor, hence should be trust fund and as provided by law should have been held by the bank as such and not be mixed with the
 general funds, or any other funds of the bank. But Mr. Haley was unable to prove that this identical money went into the hands of the receiver and the court held in this case and in all others brought before him that since they could not prove that the identical money claimed did go into the hands of the re- ceiver they could not be classed as "preferred'' claims, but would have to share and share alike with the common depositors. A recent decision of the supreme court on the point made the duty of the chancellor very plain. Receiver West reported that he had net sum in his hands from the bank of S430OO. A fifteen per cent dividend was declared effective Nov. 10th. As soon as the Syndicate bonds and the Electric bonds to the amount of S20O,O00 can be sold another dividend will be declar- ed. The great trouble seems to be to find a buyer for them.
