 The funeral of Thomas Henry To1e, son of MT. and Mrs. Hugh To1e was held to-day from the home of his parents in Spring street.
 There have been rumors about town within the past few days that young Tole was not struck by stone in the stomach resulting in gangrenous ap- pendicitis which caused his death. It is stated that the youth told a. friend
  was riding a velocipede and that he was thrown from the seat by another youth. While he was on the ground it is stated that the youth kicked him in the stomach.
 Acting on the assumption that young To1e was struck by a stone, the authorities are conducting a quiet ln- vestigatfon. Should they ascertain just who 1t was who threw the stone it is not known what they can do with him. However, the auth critics will urge upon the school teachers a closer ing recess. It is assumed that pun ishment will be dealt out to any youth who in the future Is caught throwing stones It is realized that the best way to stop the stone throwing is to make an example of offender.

The first opinion was written by the
Supreme Court Commission No. aud

the Judgment. holding that as the
amount involved. exclusive of inter-

District Court was without jurisdic-

From the brief filed by the com
