ficial abstract of the tally OF the
election vote in their precinct and
to send one copy to the clerk Of
the board of supervisors in their
county and to post the other copy
in some conspicuous place on the
precinct polling place, according
to an opinion by A. R. Lynch,
deputy attorney general and can
didate for the Democratic NOM
ination for attorney general.

'torney of Gila county. in answer
to a query from the latter relative
to the duties of the election
boards in preparing the semi-of-
ficial returns. Copies of the

COURT FIGHT
New Battle Is Launched on
Appellate Body.

Despite an opinion of the Supreme
Court handed down Thursday, up
holding the constitutionality of the
Appellate Court, a new attack on
the legality of this body was begun
by William v. Rocker, attorney for
the Pivot City Realty Company.
Creation of the Appellate Court in
1891 was unconstitutional because it
endows the Appellate Court with
Jurisdiction in appeals which the
Constitution places solely within the
powers OF the Supreme Court,
Rocker contends. He asks that his
clients case against the State Saw
ings and Trust Company be trans
terred from the lesser court to the
Supreme Court.

WOUNDED BOY
AT DEATH DOOR
Mother Returns to Help Boy
Fight for Life.

Butler Diamond, 10, shot through
the abdomen Thursday by his
brother while they were playing with
a revolver at their home, BOT River
Ave-, fought away delirium this
afternoon at city hospital and puck
cred up his lips to give his mother
what probably may be her last kiss
from him.
The mother was on her way to
Elgin, Tenn, by automobile with
relatives when the accident oc-
Cured. Word Of the shooting reached
her last night and she rushed back,
arriving shortly before noon.
Taken at once to city hospital
she went to the bedside of her son.
Although he had been delirious
most Of the night and morning, a
faint smile flickered across his blue
eyes when nurses told him his
mother was home.
The mother went into an adjoin-
ing room to comfort the brother
Clifton, 13, while doctors again took
the younger boy to the surgery in
desperate attempt to save his life
The bullet passed through the alb
domen and the boy is so weak from
loss Of blood it is impossible to try
TRANSMISSION, doctors said.
If he gains strength, his sister
Mrs Jessie Wilson, will give her
blood for a TRANSMISSION. Mrs. Wilson
was to have celebrated her twentieth
birthday Saturday.

Rate Is Fair and Proper,
Public Service Body
Statement Says.

The 10-cent far charged by the
Peoples Motor Coach Co. was up
held as "fair an dreasonable" today
in an order of the Public Service
Commission, denying the petition Of
Joseph H. Schaub, Jr.. and others
asking for a lower rate.
The Schaub petition, filed Nov.
%, 1927, also asked for appraisal and
investigation of the motor coach
company, to ascertain a fair and
proper rate"
In the order written by Commits
sioner Howell Ellis and handed
down today, the commission de-
clares that the petition was filed
after No. S, 1927, when the commits
sion, by order of the Marion Circuit
Court, authorized the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company, to pur-
chase the bus company for $5O0,00C
and the commission failed to see
how it could in the reduction pro-
ceeding find lower value at this
time for the property"
1t must be borne in mind, the
order says, that the sale was ordered
by the court on the basis Of rev.
enues derived from ten-cent fare
which is complained against in the
petition.
The record, the order said, "did
not show that the ten-cent fare was
unreasonable for this type of trans
portation and that there is any dis
satisfaction on the part of the pa
irons with the service furnished.
Oral testimony touched but lightly
upon the issues involved, the order
states; and continues that "It is sig
nificant that at the various hearing:
held in this matter, none of the
petitioners appeared in person anc
not a single patron of the motor
coach company was present at any
hearings making any complaint
against existing rates."
The commission in the order re-
minded the petitioners that the
commission had jurisdiction over the
rates, which will be continued unit
further order of the commission"

COURT PONDERS
MAYOR BATTLE
Array of NotabIeS Called for
Testimony.

One indianapolis mayor, two
would-be Indianapolis mayors, and
an array of legal talent, including
former Supreme Court chief JUS
tice and the Democratic candidate
for Governor, appeared before the
Supreme Court today in oral argu-
ment.
The argument was in regard to
the claims of Ira M. Holmes to the
mayorship, opposed by attorneys for
Mayor L. Ert Slack and Joseph l..
Hogue, other contender for the
mayors office. Slack, Holmes and
Hogue were all on hand.
Former Justice Louis B. Ewbank
made one new point in the case,
that since one time Mayor John l..
Duvall received $4,000 rather than
paid it out, it really was not bribery,
according to statute. Duvall was
found guilty of violation Of the cor
rupt practice act and his case is
pending in the Supreme Court.
Holmes claim to the mayorship
is based on Duvalls inheritance,
handed down through a series OF
city controllers.
Frank c. Daley, Slack attorney
and gubernatorial candidate, con-
tended that the city controllers can
not will the Office and it was up to
the council to select the mayor. The
council selected Slack.
Hogue's attorneys contended that
neither Duval nor Slack have any
title to the Office and Hogue has a
Lase pending to that effect. They
claim it for Hogue on the ground
that Duvan never legally held the
mayorship and the jury verdict
said so.
The court is pondering over the
oratory and studying the briefs.

lines in the downtown area. Police
said cars entering and leaving
parking places greatly delay motor
lists. Merchants are understood to
be opposed to the proposed change.
Removal of parking on the Circle
is contemplated in conformity with
a request of Col. Oran Perry, Mon
ument superintendent, who con-
tends the use of the Circle for
parking is contrary to State law.
Perry promised new lighting sys-
tenn for the memorial when the
city council kills the traffic ordi-
nance permitting parking.
Springsteen said the ordinance
also will provide angle parking on
Ohio st. between Delaware and
East Sts., to permit persons desir-
ing to visit city market to find a
parking space. Angle parking will
handle a larger number of cars.

LINCOLN GNAGEY.

A stroke of appopleXy suffered last
Thursday about noon resulted in the
death at 2:45 Friday morning Of Alb
raham Lincoln Gnagey, for many
years a prominent business man Of
Fruita, Col. Mr.. Gnagey had worked
until about noon at his position in the
store but feeling unwell, had gone to
his home, where he suffered the stroke
of paralysis. Another stroke occur
red later in the day and he never re-
gained consciousness.
For the past IA years he had been
connected with the Fruita Mercantile
company and the W. c. Osborn Hard
ware company, having charge OF the
credit departments of these firms.
Born near Grantsville, on April 4,
1864, Mr.. Gnagey engaged in the mer-
camille business there early in life and
later went to Oklahoma and Texas,
finally settling in Fruita.
Mr.. Gnagey had been widower for
the past year. He is survived by 3
children. Lucille Gourley and Valiant

ia. and Mrs. Clare Glandon, Berger,

Their Jonas, living in Pennsylvania,
and two sisters, Miss Sarah Gnagey
and Mrs. Elizabeth Schrock, both Of
Pasadena, California.
Lincoln Gnagey was son OF the
late Emanuel and Eliza Gnagey, and

acres of desert land, now producing
practically nothing of value; with wa

now useless land will be farmed by
