WHO GETS CASH eoND7
Three Claimants to $500 Put Up in
Court at Ottumwa.

Otturwa, Sept 3.-Who gets the
$500 cash bond that was put up for
j. E. Myers when the latter was
charged with obtaining money by false
pretenses but was later exonerated of
the charge by the grand jury.
Clerk of the district court. w. T.
Wilson. is anxious to know just 10
whom is he to turn over the $500.
The jovial Billy says: Il don't
want it. but three attorneys are clam
oring for it and I will have to seek
legal advice. am afraid, before l shall
give it to either Of them
The bond was given by B. j.
Chenoski. who was associated with j.
E. Myers in the business conducted
some time go as the known Doctors.
After a trial in a justice court J. E.
Myers was bound over to the grand
jury and his business associate fur
nished the cash bond.
Later when the United States court
took up the case OF several doctors IN
Iowa and involved B. ]. Chenoski. then
OF Ottuaiwa. the latter surrendered
Mr. Myers and sought to secure the
$500 furnished as cash bond.
He was refused the money notwith-
standing the eloquence of his counsefs
protest, for the clerk of court standing
behind the statute told the lawyer and
client that a cash bond becomes in
effect a loan and can not be claimed
by am but the person for whom it is
furnished.
After stalling two attorneys the
clerk Of courts had the third legal
fight to fight and this one insisted
upon garnisheeing the cash bond for
a client who claimed for unpaid serv-
ices while in the employe OF the
Known Doctors The county attorney
stands with Clerk Wilson and now
that the occasion for the bond is no
longer II existence, BILLY" wants to
know who to pass the $500 to. II he
gives it to the wrong party, he then
becomes liable. He says he is not go
ing to give 1t to any but the right one.

NO SPECIAL SESSION

Des Moines. Sept. 3.--There will be
no special session of the Iowa legis-

There is nobody urging a special ses-

A run1or came to the state house
yesterday that IN certain circles in

it appear there is reason for an extra
session Of the legislature because the
attack on the "redlight" Injunction

extra session." said Governor Clarke
yesterday. NO person has ever spok-
en- to me about It. I know OF no rea-
son why it should be considered. There
is nothing doing in that direction and

The fact Is that the "redlight" law
is in full force and effect in every part
of Iowa save and except Des Moines,

the Ninth judicial district that the law

This Will not affec, any other district

that law would, at this time. be viz

there is. about an extra session, really
emanates from persons who are scared

RECEIVERS COME HIGH.
Judge Wiekersham Says Expense is
Three Fold in Administering Estates.

tnTSS- CIO IN administering Estates
Des Moines. Sept. 3.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson of the federal court re-
fused Yesterday TO appoint a receiver
to take charge of the affairs of Will
liam ". Wheeler, a wealthy Des
Moines citizen. Wheeler recently came
to this city from Harlan, where he
was engaged in the hardware and real
estate business for thirty years. He is
reputed to be worth more than sloo,oo0.

claims aggregating less than $1,000.
The debts are said to have been In
Cured by the manager Of a general
merchandise store at Jewel City, Kan.
of which Mr.. Wheeler is owner.
In handing down his decision. Judge
Mcpherson took occasion to give his
view on the appointment OF receivers.
The court does not look with much
favor upon the appointment Of re-
ceiver in every case where application
is made therefor reads the courts
opinion.
There is no exception to the state
ment that of all orders courts can
make these orders for the appoint
ment of receivers too often are attend
ed with most extortionare expenses
and with too much oppression.
1T becomes necessary to make an al
lowance out Of the estate to pay coun-
sci for obtaining the order for the ap-
pointment of the receiver; men orders
must be made to allow comLensation
for attorneys for the receivers; then
orders must he made allowing COM
pensation t. the receivers.
All this means that th:- expense Of
administering such estate is multiplied
by three. and oftentimes twice the
legitimate expense is necessary. too
often unseemingly and too oft-n TO the
advantage Of general creditors.

ceivers must be appointed when
