Austin, son of Owen Moxley, died
of diphtheria at SherbuIne last week,
making to date eight deaths in that

time for the county board of health to
take some effective measure to stamp
out the disease in that locality.
According TO the State Board of
Health, this can be done, and nearly
all of the cases can be cured by the
prompt use of .autitoxin.
The State Beard also urges meas
ures of isolation and quarantine for
eradicating the disease, and measures
that will prevent the loss of human
life ought to be madea available
promptly.
As n result of the cases of diph-
theria and scarlet fever in the vicin-
ity, the Fleming County Board OF
Health on Saturday ordered the
schools at Sherburne, Concord ant

DRY AGENTS
SCORE AGAIN IN
| HIGH COURT
Defendant Must Prove Methods Used
In Obtaining Search War
rants are Faulty.

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 3l.-In cases
involving violations of the prohibition
laws the burden Of proof is on the de-
fendant TO show that the methods by
which search warrants were obtained
were irregular, provided the warrant
itself is properly made out, the court
of appeals held today in affirming the
finding OF the Madison cicuit court
in the case of Curtis Terrell against
the commonwealth. The opinion was
written by Judge w. E. Settle.
Terrell was convicted on a charge of
possessing liquor for sale and was
fined $500 and sentenced to 60 days
in Jail. His wife was jointly indicted
and tried, but was acquitted. Terrell
contended that the commonwealth
should have proved that the methods
by which the search warrant was OBJ
tained were irregular. The court helC
that 1t was the place of the defendan
to prove the warrants were issued OF
insufficient grounds.
In the case of Ellis Craft against tn
commonwealth, Judge Settle also he'll
that the authority issuing a scare
warrant is the legal custodian of tn
warrant and in the event it is lost n
one else is competent to testify as t
its issuance. In handing down thi
opinion Judge Settle reversed the FIND
ing of the Floyd circuit court, whic
fined Craft $175 and sentenced him t
. 80 days in Jail.

PIERCE DECLARES THAT
CHARGE REGARDING USE
Of SCHOOL FUND UNTRUE
Money Borrowed on Land Was
Used in Business and Not
Loaned Out at s Per Cent.

Charges that Walter NJ. Pierce bor-
rowed money from the state school
funl in 1908 and then loaned that
money to farmers at higher rate OF
interest are untrue according to n
statement from Mr.. Pierce, just sent
nut by the Pierce headquarters in
Portland.
The pierce statement Is as follows.
There has been much criticism and
much representation concerning
the loan | negotiated with the state
Land Board in 903, for $500 of the
r-reducible School Fund. The facts
concerning this loan are rs follows:
At that time, I owned large tract of
good agricultural land in Union Coun-
ty; needed $40, 900 in my business. !

million dollars Of Ir-reducible School

loan. The lands I owned were ample
security for such n loan. The Board
advised me to divide up this land into
six tracts: convey to my friends or
relatives separately. five of these
tracts, and then let each one of the
five and myself. apply for loan or
100000. and secure the same by a
mortgage upon the tract of land own
ed by each Of us. This was accord
ingly. done: the land divided, and con-
vcyed by warranty deed to the five
persons each Of whom made applica-
tion for a loan of 100000. The local
agent of the Board examined these
tracts of land approved Of the secur-
fty. and recommended the loan: these
loans were accordingly made, and the
security for each of them was ample;
shortly after this. each OF these five
parties conveyed these tracts Of land

kent this loan for about twelve years.
paid the interest annually, and finally
paid back the 100000 into the
state School Fund.
81 used this money in my business
transactions, and the statement that
loaned this money to farmers at eight
per cent, Is not true.
"'rhe notes and mortgages to Cooley
and others in Tmatilla County. grew
out Of business transactions of long
standing. and has nothing TO do what
ever. with the school money that ]
borrowed from the state.
These are the unvarnished facts In
regard to this transaction. The Board
al that time consisted Of one Demo-
crat and two Republicans, and there
was nothing Illegal or even irregular,
about this trdansaction. and it was in
no sense, a fraud upon the School
Fund, or anybody else"
