OFFICER SUING COUNTY FOR SAL
AIRY AND DISBURSEMENTS
COUNTER CLAIM.

Mt. Ayr, June 1.-THE law suit of
H. w. Terrell VS.. the county of Ring
gold which has been postponed from
several terms of court for various rea-
sons has been concluded here after a
three days session before B. ]. Glib
son of Corning, the special referee ap-
pointed by H. K. Maxwell, judge of the
district court before whom the case
was formerly called for trial. Mr..
Gibson gave no decision at the con.
clusion of the trial but desired time to
look up the law on several points. Ter
rell, formerly sheriff of the county,
was represented by Attorneys Laugh
lin, Wilson and Hudson and the states
attorneys We're r. H. Spence and G..
il. Lewis. 5a
Terrell originally brought the suit
when he was sheriff to recover sum
of about 5000, which he claimed, to
have paid out in expenses connected
with the office The case was resisted
and the board of supervisors filed a
counter claim of $4,000, which they
claimed Terrell had collected. Before
the trial was begun Terrell filed an
amendment claiming 1881, which he
claimed the county yet owed him on
his salary as sheriff.
The case attracted a great deal of
attention and Terrell expects to take
it to the supreme court if Judgment
is returned against him.

regain his full faculties.
The man, whose name is Chas P.

United States navy, bears life story
interviewer with successes and crime.
He is graduate of Annapolis.
In the year 1908 he was employed

AS the years wore on he showed
signs of insanity which steadil rew

Lynn drew a deep breath and squared
his shoulders. Well, other men had

into Sen Aru's shop for the promised
cup of tea and the story of the Koson
mirror.
/! Sen Arus onyx eyes became points
OF glittering light as he poured the tea
and served little rice cakes to his
friend.
The story of the Koson mirror was
a short one.
"Koson was young man, son OF
the Samurai; Of noble birth, but quite
poor in this worlds goods. He loved
the daughter of prince and, although
. there was no parental opposition to
their marriage, the girl was ambitious
and favored a man Of great wealth; so,
in spite of her love for the poor youth,
she went about her preparations Tor
her marriage to the rich man.
"Koshon wished to send her we'd

mirror, he set about cleaning it to
make it fit to offer to the bride The
mirror was dull and unpublished, and
there were spots of rust upon it. But
Koson worked night and day upon the
mirror, rubbing and polishing 1t with
the greatest labor and nicely, all the
while his heart wrung with anguish for
his lost love-

often was his sad face bent over the
mirror that it verify reflected his
features. All this he did not know.
"A few days before the wedding he
sent his servant with the Koson mir

the bride refused to leave the mirror;
she sat before 1t hour after hour, weep

unhappy fate in marrying the rich

two days before the wedding she came
to him weeping, and so they were mar
