MOI been furnished. Mayfelt
was returned to the penitenti
ary walls alt Little Rock Tues
day evening, in custody OF
Sheriff Bearden and Deputy
BOD Carrlgan.
Great interest was shown
in the case and the court room
was filled with spectators, ca,
ger TO get a glimpse of the
bank bandit, when the prisoner
was brought into court. Mott
ceable as he entered was his
limp as he walked, caused by
the wound from a shotgun in
the hands of R. w. Patterson
as The robbers were leaving
town. He is 36 years old, OF
medium height and weight,
light haired and rawbony, and
he wore blue ovecalls and
jumper. There is nothing in
the makeup Of this man who
has been in the penitentiary
five times to suggest the hard
ened criminal except his eyes,
which had a wicked look as the
prisoner glanced around.
Not a word was spoken by
Mayfield. Attorney Oldham of
Camden, representing him, an
nounced that the prisoner
would waive examination AMI
the hearing was ended.

Validity of Claim
to Assets of Bank
ISPOint at Issue

Whether or not Grand Forks county
has preferred claim to the assets
of the Peoples State Bank, closed in
1921, is the point at issue in a case
recently filed in the supreme court.
l.. X. Baird. receiver of state banks,
the defendant in the action, appealed
the matter to the high court after
the Grand Forks county district court
had held that the bank really was
trustee for funds deposited in it by
the county treasurer and that it's
assets should be used To discharge its
trusteeship obligations before any
thing was paid to other creditors.
When closed, the bank, which was
not legally designated depository
for county money, had $9,783.81 in
county money. 1t had given a bond
to County Treasurer Allen to secure
him against loss but not regular
depository bond. Dividends paid by
the receiver and 4 rebate Of taxes
overpaid by the bank reduced the
amount owing to the county to ST.
277.89 for which the county was given
judgment.
Baird contended that by accepting
the initial dividend of 20 per cent and
tho receivers certificate of indebted
ness. the county was estopped from
asserting a claim that its deposit
was preferred.
