says:
Said allegations of the Petitioner
are sufficiently pleaded and show
said deposits to be special deposits
and the same to be trust funds.
The particular terms and provisions
OF the contract or agreement under
which the money was deposited may
be proven under the general allega-
were deposited as special deposits
and are trust funds
Th Judge further says in his opin-
ion:
.-.."The law therefore, in Nevada is,
as | construc it, that where a bank,
receiving a deposit from a County
Treasurer. knowing that the deposit
S OF public or trust funds, it is
special deposit for the reason that
such Treasurer cannot make a gen
eral deposit either in his individual
though the funds deposited are
mixed with the general funds of the
bank the county is entitled to re
cover an equal amount from Re
celver prior to the payment Of gen
cral creditors. This doctrine is af
firmcd in the following cases:
On the question of comingling of
funds by a bank. the modern doc
trine appears to be that so long as
trust property can be traced and
followed. the property INTO which it
has been converted remains subject
to the trust; and. if the trustee mix
es trust funds with his, the whole
will be treated as trust property, ex
cept so far as he may be able to
distinguish what is his. This doc
trine applies in every case of a trust
relation. and as we'll as to moneys
deposited in bank. as to every other
description of property.
"The modern doctrine OF equity
and the one more in consonance
with justice is that the confusion of
trust property so wrongfully con-
nected does not destroy the equity
entirely but that when the funds are
traced into the assets of the unfaith-
full trustee or one who has know
ledge of the character of the funds,
they become a charge upon the en-
tire assets with which they are
mingled"

JUDGE LANCAN DECIDES
IN FAVOR Of 0RMSBY COUNTY
Money Held in Defunct Nye Bank
Declared a Preferred Claim. The
Receiver Ordered to Make good

Yesterday afternoon Judge Lang

lerrcI claim against the Nye &
Ormsby County Bank, in which the
Commissioners OF Ormsby County
sued the defunct bank TO the
County moneys deposited by f. O.
Patterson and which money was
claimed by District Attorney San
ford as a special deposit and not a
part OF the general funds OF the
bank. The Judge in his decision
makes the deposit a preferred claim
and orders the payment by the Re
ccivcr F.. @. Patterson. into the
county fund
The sum involved amounts to $22,-

This is good news to the citi
zcns both OF the city and county
rs this county and city have been
pressed for the money that was ap-
parently lost when Mr.. Patterson
placed it in the bank that failed.
Judge I,angan heard argument on
this case some months ago. The
decision comes after a long del'b-
Grafton. and the Judge has put in

up citations and references. The
decision. it is hoped will pave the
way to putting the money into the
hand, OF the county and city, which
eventually means a reduction OF tax

'MR, PATTERSON'S POSITIONS
AND THE BANK DECISION
AS Receiver he Must Defend the
Suit for the Bank. AS Treasurer
he Must Collect the County Cash

The News of this morning in reciting the decision
of Judge Langan and his granting the preferred claim
to Orsby County against Receiver Patterson of the
Nye Ormsby Bank would lead the readers to believe
that Mr. Patterson in the double character of Receiver
the sde and the Treasurer .on the other, has
brought forth the money.
In the first place Mr. Patterson is the elected County
Treasurer. He deposited the money in the Nye Bank
and it lost with the other by depOstors. Upon
the demand of the commissioners and Others he brought
suit against the bank its then Receiver, Mr. Lock-
hart make the loss preferred claim Attorney SAIL
ford for the County broght the suit
Upon the retirement of Mr.. Lockhart as Receiver
Mr.. Patterson, then and yet County Treasurer ap-
pointed receiver of the bank 1t natural to suppose that
he took up the duties of the receiver and defended the
suit against the bank brought by Mr. Patterson Treas
urer. In Judge Langan's decision he states
Council for the Receiver has referred me to the
Statutes Of Nevada regulating the manner in which pub
lie moneys may be deposited in bank by public Off
cal and insisted that is impossible for the public
funds be kept in bank by public official otherwise
than as a general deposit and open account
If the above true and it quoted it is apparant
that Mr. Patterson receiver defends the bank against
the County, and that Mr. Patterson Treasurer,
the money for the County.
The double capacity of Mr. Patterson has naturally
called forth lot of criticism He told off it the
time and his appointment has been busy explaining
how he could receiver and defend the suit against
the bank and at the time be Treasurer and prose-
cute the suit.
There is serious question in the minds of many as
the right of Mr. Patterson to act in the double capa-
city. Under the Revised Laws of Nevada the following
paragraph is found
Rec. 139 The Treasurer, eX-ftfcio tax receiver,
Sheriff. Assessor, Auditor Clerk of the Board of Equa
zatio and each member of such board shall each sepe
atey perform the duties required of him in his office,
and shall not perform the duties of any two offices under
this act except provided in this act by law; and any
officer who shall perform the duties of any two officers
in any manner connected with the public shall
be.guilsy of felony and dismissed from Office
The question naturally arises how can Mr.. Patterson
be both receverand fight the County in it's reclaning
it's money and at the same time be it's Treasurer de-
manding the money involved.
AS it going to take some time for Mr.. Patterson of
the Bank pay Mr. Patterson Of the County, it would
Mr. Patterson of the Bank could put in the next
years very profitaby for the people by raising the
S22 1856 SO receiver and pay the into the treasury
to Mr. Meder who will that the funds don't 60 astray
again. 1t is worth giving consideration.

IDAHO APPOINTS
TAX INSPECTORS
Axel Ramstedt, of Orofno, be
in Charge of Northern
Counties--Cash Valuation
to be Enforced.

Idako's new tax commissioners
are Axel P. Ramstedt, of Orc
fino, J. D. Robertson, of Weiser,
and James A. Purtell of Noun
tain Home, the state board of
equalization at a meeting today
deciding upon these appoint
ments. The three commissioners
will be called to Boise to meet
with the board March Is when
the territory to be covered by
each commissioner and details of
his duties will be outlined and
determined, says a Boise dispatch
of the 9Th.
1t is already announced by the
members of the board that Com
missioner Ramstedt will preside
over all counties north. The re-
naming portion of Idaho will be
divided as nearly equal as pos
sible for fields of operation for
Commissioners Robertson n q
Purtell. Both of these gentle
men were employed in a some
what similar capacity by the
board last year and are in meas
ure acquainted with the duties
entailed. All three commission
ers have notified the board that
they will accept the appointment.
In defining the duties of the
new commissioners, the board at
a recent meeting adopted plan
which fa7ors the segregation of
the work into three separate di-
visions, as follows:
To secure the necessary in
formation for the board of
in its work of equa-
llzlng property, to observe the
working of the present revenue
law and to report to the state
board any failure on the part of
officers.
The data referred to embraces
the actnal market value of all
classes of property in the market
where located. The board calls
attention to the fact that the
value or cash value is al
ways a matter of opinion largely
and must vary as the conditions
vary.

located after a sheepherder had
stumbled onto the ledge and is
said to be about the same alti-
tude as the Deer Creek mines
south of Forest. 1t is said to be
in a direct line with these mines
across the river and seems to
have the ear marks of a very
promising prospect At least
Jones and Nash think so and
their friends hope their belief is
not misplaced.

GIVES US CLEAN
BILL OF HEALTH
State Pure Food and Sanitary
Inspector Finds Little to
Complain of Here---Shuts
"Chink" Restaurant.

Deputy state pure food and
sanitary inspector M. O. Parker
was in the city Monday from
Boise and gave Cottonwood
practically a clean bill of health.
All the stores were visited and
complimented on their nice,
clean stocks Of goods, not a
single article being found to con-
demn in either store. The drug
stores were also passed without
question and Mr.. Parker spoke of
them as being two of the neatest
stores he has seen in his travels.
The hotels were instructed to
put in rope fire escapes from the
second story rooms, in order to
comply with the state law, but
were fonnd to be all right in
other respects. The meat mark
ct was assessed a small fine for
not having a concrete floor in the
slaughter house but was compli-
mented on the neat, clean con-
dition of the market in general.
The Chinese restaurant was
fined $13 and closed until it could
be cleaned up.
This constituted the work of
Mr.. Parker at this place and he
left for Grangeville Monday
evening to see how things were
kept at the county seat. This is
the first visit made here by the
inspector and the fact that he
did not find but one or two
cases worth complaining about
speaks highly for the general
cleanliness of our city and for
the wholesomeness of our stores
and other places of business.
