PIONEER JUDGE
PRACTICES LAW
In OLD COURT

Franklin J. Cole, first superior
court judge in this county and only
judge for many years, was in su-
perior court here yesterday and
today, but not in the capacity of
judicial officer.
Instead he is appearing as one
of the attorneys for Louis Smith
of Brawley in Smiths suit against
the Bank of America, Walter Have
korst and Colin Logan for 5000,
and against the bank, Havekorst,
Logan and Tom Sharp for $4,000
damages.
Cole, who is now practicing law
at Los Angeles, is associated with
A. L. Sebille of Brawley as attor-
ney for Smith. Ross T. Hickcox and
Lyman Robertson are attorneys Tor
the bank, Havekorst and Logan,
while D. H. Wolford appears as at
torney for Sharp.
The suit went into the second
day of trial before Judge Clar-
ence Hardin of San Diego, called
here to preside in the absence of
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson.
Smiths suit for 5000 is the first
to be tried The other, identical
with the first, will be tried after
its completion
Smiths suits are based on his
contention he was illegally forced
to pay 5000 to the bank because
that institution contended he re-
ceived a $1,000 bill instead of a
$100 bill when he cashed a check
and did not call the cashiers er-
ror to his attention. Sharp, as in
vestigator for the district attor-
ney, threatened him with prose-
cution unless he returned the 5000.
according to Smiths complaint.
The plaintiff now contends that
he did not receive $1,000 bill, but
was frightened into paying the
money to the bank.

Police And Fire
Feud Renewed

An old feud flared up again to-
day with the police department one
up on the fire department and still
going strong. - 81
Ted Reynolds, volunteer fireman,
started the thing when he happen
ed into the police station, this
morning and saw $55 fire no7-'
zle reposing grandly on top of the
police safe. -,
The coppers, who found it last
night, roundly berated the fire de-
partment for allowing its equ1p-
ment to be scattered about the
streets.
A telephone call brought Tom
Fox as reinforcements for Rey-
nolds and to reclaim the lost Iioz-
zle.
1t was even limited that the cops
stole the nozzle from a fire truck
in order to have something on the
fire department. The matter rest
ed uneasily, with another outbreak
expected at any moment.

Federal Highway
Fund Unavailable

That no federal funds are avail
able at this time for maintenance
and Improvement of that section
of the Yuma highway traversing
the Yuma Indian reservation was
the tenor of a letter received by
the board of supervisors this morn
ing from c. H. Purcell, state high
way engineer.
Since the portion of highway in
question is now being improved by
the state, and the state apparently
did not feel the necessity of ask
ing federal aid, no appropriation
has been made which is applicable
to this section of road, according
to the letter.
Other business taken up today
by the supervisors was of a routine
character, dealing with the county
farm and other county business OF
usual character.

four days after he was found, bad
ly bruised, in the back Of a parked
truck near his home. Doctors said

juries were nothing that could not

Bank Seeks To
Pay All Accounts
With $25 Maximum
Reeves Tells Bench Considerable Bookkeeping and
Other Expenses viii Be Saved Court Grants
Permission to Sell Municipal Bonds at Appraised
Figure

Decision was reserved on the
application OF the receiver to pay
all: small accounts up to SIS on
deposit in the Merchants Trust at
a hearing of the superior court
before Judge Newell Jennings to-
day. IT was one of half q dozen
motions concerning receivership
instructions in the Merchants
Trust Company filed by the Citi-
gems and Manufacturers National
Bank.
Attorney Francis r. Reeves.
counsel for thet receiver, explained
that considerable bookkeeping and
other expense Will be saved by the
receivers paying all accounts up
to- SIS involving an amount OF
about $4,000. He left it with the
court to decide whether that
amount shall be paid or a figure OF
around $1,000 representing de-
posts up to $40.
Permission was granted to the
receiver to sell the municipal bonds
held by the Merchants Trust at a
figure not less than their appraised
value and on favorable market
conditions. This is one of the steps
in liquidation OF. the assets for the
realization Of cash in payment Of
dividends.
"A Comedy Of Errors" was the
title used by Attorney Reeves in
explaining the claim Of Agnes g.
Fitzpatrick. He explained her sis
ter had been given $75 to deposit
in the Citizens and Manufacturers
National Bank. She was given a
passbook and deposit slip of the
Citizens bank but by mistake
placed the money in the Mer-
chants bank. That was last Au-
gust. The bookkeeper in the
Merchants bank opened a new
account for the SIS crediting Ag-
mes Fitzpatrick. The error was
disclosed when the receiver went
over the books. Judge Jennings
ordered the money paid to the
claimant.
Decision was reserved on the
question Of Italian Lire Deposits"
in the Merchants Trust Company.
Attorney Reeves asked the court to
set December "a, 1881, as the date
by which the receiver Is to be
governed in fixing the rate Of ex-
change in payments OF the Lire
deposits. The rate on that date
was slightly over five cents. He
EXPLAINED the Lire came into the
Merchants Trust Company during
the merger with the Peoples
Bank and Trust Company. De-
posts equivalent to 100000 are
on the, books Of the Merchants
Trust Company.
The receiver was advised not to
