buck deer at the edge Of the woods
Wednesday afternoon, while driving

Bugbee was walking some distance
behinc the team, When he caught
up with the outfit the oxen were
resting calmly and the buck was
lying Helpless at one side of the road.
There we're no signs of struggle,
one of the oxen having apparently
thrown the animal out of the way as
they met. The buck was already dis
having been bitten severely
in the back Of the neck by some wild
animal, and a cut on his side was
evidently done with a claw.
The buck was taken to Mr.. Seav-
er's bavn, but is very badly hurt and

THU POULTRY INDUSTRY.

1t is a fact not generally known that
Of all farm products poultry stands
fifth in value. 1t is estimated that
the cash derived from the sale Of poul-
try and eggs amounts to half a billion
dollars annually. 1t is believed that
this amount is being rapidly Increased
each ye5r, due to the fact that farmers
are beginning to realize the profits
there are in we'll cared for flock Of
hens When all poultry keepers fully
appreciate how easy 1t is to increase
the pro0uctiveness Of their fowls, 1t
Is fair to assume that this branch Of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Fort Worth's Growth.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 notice in a recent issue of your paper a comparison of the number of buildings, and their total cost, in numb CT of different cities. The policy of your paper has always been fair to everyone, and as Fort Worth's name was omitted from your list, and as this city has had such a wonderful growth notwithstanding the financial depres- sion, hope you will not object to pub fishing few facts about our city.
 According to Construction News" published in Chicago, Fort Worth had the largest per cent gain In the con- struction of buildings during the month of April, 1909--more than any other city in the country-having 100 permits issued amounting to $725.471.
 Fort Worth's banks clearings during 1908 were $5Os. .491,52O, showing gain of S112,554,971, five times larger than Birmingham's during the same year. the latter showing 8 decrease of $20 0,134,- 046.31.
 Last year Fort Worth handled 95.1s6 more freight cars than during 1907 and showed large increaSe in cattle ship ments received while Chicago, Kansas City, and other packing house cities showed slight decreases. Yours truly,

PRATT CITY HAS
 SERIOUS FIRE

A bad fire occurred yesterday after noon about o'clock at Pratt City near the Frisco depot in which four dwelling houses were completely destroyed. The origin of the fire Is unknown. When the fire was discovered the alarm was turned in to Nos. and 2 fire stations.
 The houses are situated almost at the boundary line of the city and the nearest fire plug was over 2OoO feet away. As each company had only 1000 feet of hose the other companies were called out.
 The fire spread rapidly and by the time the additional hose arrived the flames had spread to four dwellings and had gained such headway that 1t was impossible to save them By united effort the firemen saved an adjoining house. stopping the progress of the flames. The locality of the fire is thiclly settled and a disas- trous fire was averted.
 The entire fire department of Pratt City is volunteer and it has a remarkable record for efficient work. The water pres sure was excellent; in fact. 1t was large ly due to the heavy pressure that the fire was so quickly subdued. The houses were owned by J. r. Wilson, a well known citizen of Pratt City. It is stated they were fully insured.

the party litigant. This severance took
 place immediately on the appointment
 of Percy 6 Benners by the receivers as
 attorneys within 24 hours of the filing
 of the petition. Under the rule laid
 down in the Kelly case. supra, 1t would
 of course have been entirely proper for.
 the trustees to have resisted the pay
 ment of the fee to Messrs. Percy &
 Benners as attorneys for the receivers
 on the ground that they were also at
 torneys for the petitioning creditors,
 but this course was not pursued, doubt less because of the severance of this , relation; and, while 1t Is true that after the appointment of the receivers the court was advised that their appoint
 ment was not pleasing to these attor
 neys yet they filed no objection thereto upon the records of this court, but
 proceeded immediately to represent them as counsel and to receive the sum
 of $6000 as such counsel for the re-
 ceivers. This action of Percy 6 Ben
 ners was an election by them to rep
 resent the receivers rather than the
 petitioning creditors and having so
 elected and received remuneration
 therefor they cannot now properly be
 allowed to obtain compen sation as at
 torneys for petitioning creditors also
 who were parties before tn @ court hay
 ing opposing interests" Speaking of the employment or counsel In thls dual capacity, Lacombe. circuit judge. well says, in the case of in re Strobel, 160 Fed. 916; 20 Am. B. R. 23:
 "It would have been well had Con gress in the bankrupt act expressly prohibited receivers from selecting as attorneys or counsel lawyers who had appeared for either the bankrupt or the petitioning creditors. Such selection affords a ready opportunity for chicane- ", fraud and perjury; and 1t would
 seem desirable for bankruptcy courts generally to adopt the wholesome rule in force in the Southern district Of New York forbidding such selection, and to enforce such rule rigidly."
 From what has been said above 1t Is | the opinion of the court that the at- | torneys for the second petitioning cred | itors are entitled to have and receive the sum of s5oo0 as the one fee al- f lowed attorneys for petitioning credt- | tors in bankruptcy in this cause; and such order will no wbe entered in &C., cordance with this opinion.
