uIyman Miller Looks for Bargain Settlement in Court--NIunson
 Will Filed.

After Constable Roscoe Brown had grabbed ten talesmen on the street corners yesterday and tho regular panel as drawn by the town clerk had been exhausted Jury was finally se- cured to go on again with suit for the ejectment of Thomas Butler from the property at Lighthouse Point which was recently bought by John B. Judge and others connected with the trolley company and William Lush the base ball player. The suit was dismissed last tweek because some of tho previous Jurors were found in conversation with some of the plaintiffs.
 The case was called again before Justice Pallman yesterday A panel of six had been drawn by the town clerk flor the jury but of these s. J, Hayes and s. K. Jones were excused. Two lmore were then necessary and Consta- Ible Brown sent out for them. Anyone lwho stood around lesurely was lm- pressed and brought into court and finally the two were secured who were acceptable to each side.
 The search of MT. Brown was mat lter of great interest to the contestants tso much so in fact that detectives fol. !lowed the constable and watched where and how he got those he haled into court for possible jury panel. The panel, as finally picked. was Walter J. IConnor, John T. Doyle. Herbert s. lClark. Peter Gibbons, John w. Hlne Iand Michael Hughson. When they had been sworn the case started on the evil dence about noon. The whole case will lhave to be gone over again.

LoOPHoLEs FOR BETToRs.
Money Must Pass to Violate Law, Says
 District Attorney,

New York, June 15,--Counsel repre- senting the Brighton Beach. sheeps- head Bay, Gravesend, and Westchester racing associations will meet Assistant
 District Attorney Robert H. Elder of Kings county tomorrow to try and reach some agreement for bringing a
 test case on the question of the consti- tutionality of the new racing law. Charles II. Hyde, representing the Brighton association, called upon MT. Elder to arrange the conference.
 "One thins Is already decided upon :" said MT Elder "and that Is that the
 actual consummation of the offence must take place in order that there be a violation of the law. Odds must be posted the bets must be placed and recorded, and the money must naes. Such evidence as a nod, the lifting of the eyebrows or the working of hands
 or fingers will not be sufficient evid- ence any more than a conversation overheard in which some person is al- Ieged to have placed a bet"

Tn the filing in the probate court yes- iterday of the will of the late Amelia ,C. Munson, mother of F. B. and H. S. Munson, former owners of the Nun lson & Go. Box factory, was started what is expected to result in one of the most complicated and contested cases ever heard in this city. Mrs. Munson died May 21, leaving an estate which Is lvariously estimated at from anywhere from s20,000 up to $300,O0O or more, but because of its entanglement with the affairs of the Box company 1t is q matter of conjecture as to just what 1t will amount to.
 On this mlx-up with the Box com pany and the affairs of F. B. Nun son, personally the complications and contests are expected to arise. For some time MT. Munson has been un- der the care of Attorney George D Watrous, as conservator, and in his report as such on her estate also filed this morning, MT. Watrous states that the estate is due from either the Box company or E. E. Munson, amounts that total about s160,000.

MUST BE SAME OLD STORM
Otherwise Appropriation Cannot b
 Used to Aid Flood Sufferers.

Washington, June 15.-The degree of
 assistance that can be rendered the
 Louisiana storm sufferers will depend upon whether the war department de- cdes that the recent havoc in Louisi- lana and vicinity is the result of the
 storm that started two weeks ago and which has continued to some extent
 ever since, or whether Ii is an entire- Ily new storm, The appropriation made by congress to relieve sufferers in the south named the late of the original storm, but it is believed that recent oc- Icurrences there can he attributed to a Icontinuation of the storm of that date.
 I've are inclined to stretch the law in cases of this kind, said Secretary
 Taft, lin order to give relief and any thing that can be done will be attend ed to"

DIES OF HIS WOUNDS
ACCIDENT CAUSES DEATH OF
 YOUNG SHERMAN.
Party of Mississippi Boys Were Camp- ing Out When Gun in the Hands of Negro Was Dts-
 charged.

Columbus, Miss, June 17.--(special) Randolph Sherman, the young man who was accidently shot by VIII Mo- land, small negro boy, near Polk Springs yesterday afternoon, died at 2:30 o'clock this morning from the ef- fects of his wounds.
 MT. Sherman and number of other young Columbians were camping out near Polk Springs and at the time of the shooting were seated around the dining tent. Franklin Brown, one of the young men told Noland to bring his gun and almost the moment the boy picked up the Bowling pieces, the cart ridge exploded.
 The gun was loaded with bird shot and practically the entire charge en- tered MT. sherman's back. near the right shoulder. One or two of the shots penetrated the jugular vein, pro- ducing the wound which proved fatal.
 Mir. Sherman, who was about twenty years old. was a member of a we'll known family. having been the son of c. W. Sherman, a prominent cotton broker and a nephew of Hon. D. R. sherman. chairman of the Lowndes County Democratic Executive Commit tee.
 AS soon as news of the accident reached the city Mir. and Mrs. Sherman hastened to their son's bedside and were with him when he died.
 Although the shooting was purely accidental and no blame attaches to Noland he was so badly frightened that he took to the woods as soon as he realized that MT. Sherman was shot and has not since been heard from.
