COUNTY WINNER
BIG LAW SUIT
Judgment For S24,692.22 Was Giver
LeflOre In Suit Against National
Surety Company.

Leflore County was awarded a judg-
ment of $24 ,692.22 yesterday in Yazoo
City, when the case of the Leflore
Board of Supervisors VS.. The National
Surety Co., was decided by Judge
Edwin Holiness
Six years ago, the Itta Bena Bank
ing Trust Co., which was the coun-
tvs depository at that time, failed.
The National Surety Co., which had
made bond for the banking company,
refused to pay the amount of the
bond which was S13,63613. The
county Immediately filed suit in Fed
eral Court. The case was tried be-
fore the late Judge H. c.. Niles and
was taken under advisement by him.
His death occurred before a decision
was rendered. The case then came
for trial before Judge Edwin Holmes,
who yesterday handed down the above
decision.
The judgment will bear one per-
cent interest per month and includes
$500 attorneys fees, the interest and
costs of the suit. The county was
represented by Judge E. V. Hughston
and Gardner, McBee and Gardner,
while Attorneys S. L. Gwin, E. L.
Mounger of this city, and Judge John
r. Tyson of Montgomery, Ala, rep
resented the Surety Co.
An appeal will probably be taken
to the Circuit Court of appeals, but it
is believed that the judgment will be
affirmed.

Forces Divided Into Fif-
teen Armies of 1900
COmbatants Each.
ARTILLERY is
VERY COMPLETE
Munitions Are Said to be
Scarce and Supply Is
Now Deficient.
Associated Press

BERNE, April 4-The armies under
the command of the Bolshevik gov
ernntent in Russia comprise approx
imately 100000 men but only about
100000 Of them are actual combat
ants, according to information receiv
ed here from sources usually consid
cred reliable.
The forces are divided into fifteer
armies of 1900 combatants each
Twelve of them are described as com
pletely organized. Eacy army con-
sists of two or three divisions and
each division of two, three or four
regiments. The number of officers
and men in each regiment varies from
a few hundred to two thousand
The First Army is under command
of General Michael Touhatchevski,
who, until the Bolshevik revolution
took place, was simple lieutenant in
an infantry regiment His military
education is far from complete, but
his general staff is composed of Off
GERS who formerly belonged to the
Russian General Staff, so that they
compensate for the deficiencies of
their commandments
The Second Army is headed by a
wel'-organized general staff which in
cludes three cololels who formerly
belonged to the Russian General
Staff
The connmander-in-chie of the
Third Army is an individual who, up
to the time of the 8olshevik revo-
luton, was sergeant in one of the
regiments of Siberian infantry. He
also is supported by a general staff
composed of former Russian staff of
icers.
The act that so many officers of
the former Russian army, have con-
sented to serve with the Bolsheviki is
one of the worst features of the sit
uation in Russia Without them the
Bolsheviki would have been unable to
organize such military forces as are
now at their disposal, and their die
tatorship, based solely on violence,
would have been ended long ago.
The artillery equipment of the Boil
shevik armies is declared to be very
incomplete. A division has, on an
average, from five to eight guns.
Munitions are said to be scarce and
their supply is deficient. Munitions
for the infantry also are running
short
The chief of the Central General
Staff of the Bolshevik forces is Lett
named Watsetia.
