In Case of A. B. Baird VS..
Ohio County.
EXCERPTS FROM TIRE OPINION
Every Contention of AttOr-
neys for Defense SuS-
tanned by Court.
QUESTION SETTLED BRIEFLY

The law firms of Heavrin & Wood
yard and Barnett & Smith have re-
seived the opinion handed down by
Judge Warrington in the case ofDr.A.
3. Baird VS.. Ohio county which was
recently reversed by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit Of Cincinnati, thus
awarding Ohio county new trial in
che case which had been previosuly de
sided against it by Judge Walter Ev-
ans Of the Western Kentucky District.
The opinion is a brief one and sus-
szins the contention of attorneys rep
rasenting the county in every particu-
Ar upon which a decision is made
Il holds that the Fiscal Court of the
county is without authority to execute
n promissory note for any purpose.
Quoting from aUInitedStatesSuDre
SQUIRT report Judge Warrington says:
Our opinion is, that mere political
bodies constituted as counties are, for
abe purpose of local police and admin
istration, and having the power Of
Nhvying taxes to defray all public char
ses created, whether they are or are
not formally invested with corporate
capacity, have no power or authority
70 make and utter commercial paper
of any kind, unless such power is eX-
lressly conferred upon them by law,
on clearly implied from such other
power expressly given. which cannot
be fairly exercised without it," The
federation of this doctrine by the
SQUIRT clearly establishes the conten-
lion of attorneys representing the
county that the note sued on by Baird
8As and is absolutely void because
he Fiscal Court had no authority of
law to execute same. The court goes
lnTther and holds that even though

CHOLERA IN SOUTH RUSSIA
Five Thousand in Grip of Malignant Disease and Forty Per Cent
 of Cases Fasal.

Odessa, June 29.-The cholera situ- ation in the south of Russia is to- day so serious that physicians are pre- dieting the worst scourge of the last generation before frost checks the spread.
 Officially there were reported only 1.796 cases last week, but not more than one-third of the known cases find their way into the official report, and there were really about 5000 new cases.
 The cholera is of peculiarly malig- nant type and nearly 40 per cent of the cases are proving fatal
 The ignorance of the people is chiefly responsible for the spread of the disease, as they refuse absolutely to take any precautions In several cities, where the disease is epidemic. troops are guarding the hospitals against the destruction by the fran tic people who seek thus to liberate the cholera sufferers
 The people generally believe the epidemic is a visitation of Gods wrath and that it is useless to try to check it.
 Physicians themselves are in a panic. Overwhelmed with the calls upon them hundreds have succumbed to overwork and disease
