SCOTT CITY. ORDERS
SUIT ON BRIDGES
Follows Cape's Protest Against
Bridging Channels at
Own Expense.

Following the lead of the Cape
Girardeau County Court in protesting
the payment for bridges made neces-
sary where the drainage bitches of
the Little River Drainage District cut
county highways, the County Court of
Scott county has ordered and author
lied the prosecuting attorney, G. R.
Daugherty, to sue out an injunction
against the drainage district, seeking
to stop the contractors from cutting
the Scott county roads until response
bility for the bridges is fixed.
According to estimates made for
Scott county, it is said that it viii
require an expenditure of SIS, 1000 to
bridge the channels of the drainage
district, and the County Court is OBJ
iecting to the payment of the money.
The court made the following order
this week:
at appearing to the court that the
ditch contractors who are digging a
drainage ditch in the north part of
this county, are about to dig across
the public road on the rock levce on
the Cape Girardeau road, it is hereby
ordered and directed that the prescott
ing attorney, G. R. Daugherty, proceed
at once by injunction or other legal
proc edings in the circuit court of
Scott county to prevent and prohibit
he cutting of said public highway"
The cost of making the single bridge
on the road leading into the Cape,
alone is estimated at $4,000 by the
Scott county court.
Cape county slitigation over the
responsibility for the bridges made
necessary by the drainage bitches in
this county still is pending and it will
be argued in the Circuit Court in
April.
A compromise which would allow
the construction work in this county to
proceed, likewise has failed. The
County Court here is represented by
Judge Edward D. Hays and J. Henry
Caruthers, prosecuting attorney, and
the drainage district is represented by
Oliver & Oliver.

Mr.. Riggs had just arrived from st.

Democratic State convention. He was
with Harry E. Alexander of this city
at the time of the accident.
His fall was due to the loss of a
shoe heel. He was ascending the
steps at the station when his foot
slipped and he plunged forward on the
stone pavement. When assisted to
arise he complained of a sharp pain
in his left arm, and when the limb

SURETY co. sues
-HELY FOR $2,4SO.55
Seeks to Recover Costs in Suit
Tried IL Years Ago Against
Hely.

A suit~to recover $2,4S0.55 yester-
day was filed in Common Pleas Court
against Edward Hely of the Hely rock
crusher and quarrics, by the Ameri-
can Surety Company Of New York, for
expense money which the surety COM
pany asserts Rcly owes in connection
with a suit defended for Mr.. HeIy.
In October, 1898, Hely contracted
with Fred Hocrtz & CO. to build a
filter plant near Louisville, KY, for
the Louisville Water Company. Hely
was a sub-contractor.
He obtained a bond of $4,000 to
perform the work and at the same
time made separate indemnity
agreement with the American Surety
Company, which bonded him, to be
liable for all costs in the event of any
litigation over the bond. The premium
waste be paid at the rate Of Sis a
year.
Sometime before February, 1902,
Hely sued Hoertz in connection with
the contract, whereupon Hoertz filed
a counter-claim for $7,661.40 against
Hely and got q judgment for that sum
against Hely.
Hely and the surety company now
suing him, appealed the case and
eventually settled by Hely having to
pay Hoertz $349.59.
The surety company asserts in its
petition filed in Common Pleas Court
that it had to obtain a supersedeas
bond for Hely while the $1,000 judg-
ment was pending appeal, at cost of
$50. The premium on the $4,000 bond
was unpaid in five years, the petition
recites, and other expenses make up
the total of $24S0.55 for which the
surety company is suing.
One item Of the expense was $500
for Thomas W. Bullitt, an attorney,
now dead, who represented the surety
company at the time of the former
litigation.

to Haarig for Patrolman Groce and
notified him of the robbery.
Groce fastened to the restaurant
and in company with Snider and some
other men, search was made in the
immediate vicinity but to no avail.
The other members Of the police force
were notified to be on watch for the
two men and descriptions were fur
nished to the police.
When Groce returned to Haarig ac-
companied by Snider, he met a couple
of boys returning from Good Hope
street, who told them they had seen
two men who conformcd exactly with
the descriptions of the highwaymen.
The men were running north through
the Phillips lumber yard in South
Cape, they said.
Snider has been proprietor of the
South Cape restaurant for about three
months, having bought out the Buck
ner Brothers, who fomerly ran the
place.

Law LIBRARY IS
PLANNED FOR CAPE
Attorneys Consider Scheme to
Spend $4,000 for Books
On Blackstone.

A plan has been started by members
of the Bar Association to establish q
lew library in this city for the use OF
all the attorneys in the county. espec-
cially those living in the Cape.
The movement was originated by
Judge Edward D. Hays and Harry E.
Alexander. The plan is to have each
attorney in the county donate to a
fund which would approximate $4,000,
and this sum would be used exclusive
ly for the purchase of books.
Mr.. Alexander, in discussing the
project yesterday, said: "The move
ment has been discussed for many
years, but it was never actively advo-
Gated. I could not say it has reached
proportions which make it probable
ity now, but many lawyers have ax-
pressed desire to contribute to the
project.
"If we could create fund of S., 1000
we could establish law library that
would be invaluable to every lawyer
who lives here and it would be of
great assistance to the judges and the
visiting attorneys. There is not a
lawyer in this city or county who does
not frequently want to consult law
books which he cannot find in town.
"The library could be located in one
or two rooms in some Office building,
where it would be convenient to every
one. If every lawyer in this city
would contribute $3.50, we would have
enough to furnish an excellent library.
But if all of the attorneys in the coun-
ty would join in the proposition, it
would decrease the individual contri-
button. Most every city now has law
library, and Cape Girardeau should
have one. Every lawyer will admit
this, and l believe one would have
been created here years ago had the
idea been pressed.
"By buying books from secondhand
book stores we could get many rare
law books and at reasonable prices. l
don't mean that by buying from sec
ond-hand stores we would buy badly
worn or obsolete books. Every lawyer
patronizes the secondhand law book
stores. We often pick up the best
books at these places in the best con-
dition and at very low cost. would
be willing to contribute $3.50 to start
a fund of this kind"

". A. TIBBS Tells
MERCANTILE STORY
Tells Bankruptcy Court How He
Lost Money in Dry
Goods.

w. A. Tihbs of Puxico, president OF
the United Mercantile Co., which re-
Gently filed voluntary petition in
bankruptcy, yesterday told of his ex-
periences in the mercantile business at
a hearing before o. A. Knehans, U. S
Referee in Bankruptcy, when the af-
fairs of the company were examined
Tibbs was on the stand during q
large part of the day and the burden
of his testimony was that he lost
heavily in various mercantile enter
prises with which he became con-
nected. He purchased stocks of goods
at top prices and testified that he was
forced to cut the prices of the goods
in order to do any business in the
retail field, so that invariably he oper-
ated at loss.
Following Tibbs' venture into the
Puxico firm, creditors of the company
forced an assignment of the assets to
Edward Presbury and C. D. West, OF
st. Louis, adjustment men. The store
was closed shortly afterward and the
stocks sold in full to NJ. D. Blue, a
merchant, for $4,000, after the stock
of goods had been appraised at $500.
Meantime Tibbs and the other Off
GERS of the firm commended that the
men to whom they had made the as
signment violated their contract by
closing the store, and filed a petition
in bankruptcy.
With the $4,000 that was obtained by
the St. Louis adjustment men, they
paid 80 per cent dividend, which was
accepted by the creditors Of the firm.
The examination of the affairs Of
the company was conducted yesterday
in order that the trustee under the
bankruptcy petition, Charles Lilies of
Dexter, might be enabled to decide
whether to approve the work of the
adjusters or attempt to go into court
and set aside the transfer to Mr.. Blue.
Mr.. Blue as well as Mr. Presbury
were on the stand also and testified
concerning moves that were made I'M
der the assignment of the firm. The
hearing required all day. Lilies will
announce his decision later.

Councilman Bowman remained over in
St. Louis in connection with the plans
for the new hotel to be erected on the
site Of the Riverview, which was de-
stroyed by fire two weeks ago.
The Mayor and the lawmakers spent
the day inspecting the big factory of
Earl G. Robinson, probably the larg
st builder of fire trucks and other
equipment in the United States, and
also visited the various fire stations
in st. Louis. Mr.. Robinson personally
escorted the Cape Girardeauans to
number of engine houses equipped
with trucks built by the Robinson
company.
Mayor Rage and Councilmen Fowler
and Bowman We're especially inter-
ested in the latest apparatus made by
the Robinson concern. 1t is a giant
fire-truck, carrying three hose lines
and other equipment of the most mod
ern variety. The engine is of 40
horsepower and is able to throw water
to the top of the highest building in
st. Louis. This engine would be able
to throw stream of water TO the top
of the Observation-Disclosures build
ing with sufficient force to upset
man.
This truck is also equipped with
chemical tanks and every other inven-
ton necessary in combating fires.
The entire lao horsepower truck
weighs more than eight tons and has
a speed of sixty miles an hour, but is
said to be as easily controlled as the
smallest automobile. Machines of this
kind have made runs out into st. Louis
county for distances of twenty miles,
running through heavy mud and
ravines without single stop.
The committee inspected the fire
houses from top to bottom, and the
city fremen explained every phase OF
the fire-fghting business to the Cape
Girardeauans. Mr.. Robinson took
them through his plant, showing them
the fire truck in its various stages of
construction. THAT plant is Won
der" said Mr. Fowler. "They are
able to make these great machines al
most while you wait. Mr.. Robinson
took us to the fire engine house which
used his latest model mcahines. One
Of the assistant chiefs told me that in
two years one of the big fire trucks
had paid for itself. The cost of up
keep, as compared to a horse, enabled
the city to save the price of the fire
truck in two years.
"Mayor Rage was mucn impressed
with the machines, as were Mr.. Bow
man and |. We have agreed upon the
arrangements for equipping the city,
but we will not make our report until
the council meets. The Mayor expects
to get some additional facts before the
next council meeting"
