Judge Thornell handed down his decision
yesterday morning In the case of County
Hecorder Hlmei K. Smith against Potlnwnt
Inmlo county The decision was a victory
for the county recorder, although the court
did not allow the full amount sued for. He
reduced the salnry of tho second nsslstant
from Vo0 to $300. allowing tho balauco as
sued for.
County Itccorder Smith brought suit
ngnlnst tho county to rccovor $1,608, which
ho had pnld out during 1D00 for clerk hire,
In order to keep up the business of the
olTlco ns required by law. Tho County Honrd
of Supervisors refused to allow tho amount,
contending thnt It had no power under tho
statute to allow the county recorder more
than his salary of $1 fiOO and pay for n dep
uty nt $U00 per annu.n.
In his suit the county recorder sought to
lecover !00 that ho paid out during 1000 to
his first assistant. JFmO to his second ns
Mstnnt nnd J5S for extra clerk hire.
In handing down his decision, Judge Thor
nell, nfter reciting the fact that Smith was
tho duly qualllled recorder of Pottnwnttamlo
county, received tho maximum snlnry of Jl,
r,00 ns allowed by law. and that tho Hoard of
Supervisors had granted him nnd paid for
thu services of n deputy at $900 per annnum,
ns provided by stntute, held that by reason
of tho pressure of business In tho recorder's
ofllco It was Impossible for tho recorder and
his ono deputy to perform all tho duties of
tho ofllco or to record the Instruments fllod
during the year. Further, that the volume
of business wns to great thnt It was abso
lutely necessary for the recorder to employ
two assistants and additional help to tho
amount of $53 for tho benefit of the public.
Judge Thornell, tnklng these circumstances
Into nccount, held thnt $900 wart n reason
nblo snlnry for the first assistant nnd that
$300 was sufficient compensation for the
second nsslstant.
The court referred to tho fact that tho
fees of the office during 1S0O amounted to
Jl.S'iS.Cn, and that tho total expenditures
found to bo reasonable nnd necessary were
$3,C58, and ho therefore ordered thnt County
Hecorder Smith recover from tho county tho
sum of $1,259.

Tuenly-I'lve Per Cent Is Ordered
Distributed by .linlKe Thornell.
According to an order mado by Judge
Thornell yesterday afternoon, all tho cred
itors of Officer & Pusey's bank will sharo
nllko In n dividend of 2,r per cent, which
Receivers Hereshiim nnd Murphy wero in
structed to make ns soon an possible. That
Is to say. nil predllors, even those whose
claims wero decreed preferred ones, will
nt this time receive 2." per cent, which, It
Is expected, tho receivers will bo ublo to
disburse tomorrow or Tuesday. No claims
for Interest will be taken Into account In
paying tho first dividend, but nil such clnlm
for Interest ns mny bo allowed will bo
ndjusted nt the tlmo ot the payment of tho
second dividend.
Judgo Thorncll's order Is as follows:
Order of (lie Cniirl.
It Ik ordered by the court thnt John
Hereshelm nnd L. F. Murphy, the receivers
herein, pay nut of the funds In their hands
as such receivers a dividend of 25 per cent
of tho face amount of all d.ilms tiled herein
and allowed by the court, excepting those
claims which the court lias heretofore de
dared entitled to preference, and on such
cialniH a dividend of 2." per cent of tho
amount found by the court In Its order al
lowing preference shall be paid.
It Is further ordered that a receipt of
tho dividend herein provided by those
claimants who have heretofore filed peti
tions asking that their claims bo preferred
nnd the prayer of which petitions has been
denied by the court shall not operate as a
waiver of their right to appeal from such
order of the court.
It Is further ordered that n receipt of pay
ment or declaration of tho dividend to
those creditors whose claims havo been or
dered by this court lo bo entitled to a pref
eience shall not bar the right of the re
ceivers or any creditors liming the right to
appeal to take the appeal from such order
or orderH allowing such preferences and
no payment other than a dividend of 25
per cent, as herein declared, shnll bo made
on such preferred claims until after tho ex
piration of the time wherein which nn ap
peal may bo taken from the orders of the
court establishing such claim or claims
preferred.
The question of Interest on tlmo certltl
cates and general dei-oslts Is reserved for
future order of tho court.
It will bo seen by this order that the
reason for only allowing a dividend of 23
per cent on those claims which linvo been
preferred Is duo to tho fnet thnt tho period
In which an npponl mny bo taken by nny
creditor of tho bank does not oxplro for
six months. Tho. object In thus paying n
level dividend to nil creditors la to give
nn opportunity for appeal nnd thu tiling of
objections and to pnstpono tho final nd
JuUincnt of nil preferred claims until such
time as the court may order tho payment of
a second dividend.
Ilecelver Muriili) 'n ltepurt.
In accordance with the Instructions issued
by Judgo Thornell. Receiver Murphy Hied
yesterday morning his report showing tho
drlfiln.il claims nnd deductions for Interest
on time certificates of deposit in thoso
cases where preference was allowed by tho
court. They nro ns follows, tho llrst figures
being tho original amount of tho claim, nnd
'the second the Interest to bo deducted:
I, . C. Prouty, Gnrner township, $507X0;
$30 M.
S. H. Snyder, guardian Hurry and J. A.
Hathaway $52u; $15.
J. 11. Slgafoos, for Frank nnd Hay Blga
foos. H2.4; $3.t.
II. H. Knnwies, guardian ot Lament Orr,
.i.i; ;.'Xi.7i.
Margaret A. Frank, $1,071.17; $133.17.
T. A. lilllug. guardian. t2.23S.ll; $715 20.
William Larson, $3n0: $12.
John Mltheu, guardian, 5:,:1; $13.'.
The total amount of the claims allowed
preference) up to dato by tho court Is $28,
215.91. and by Receiver Murphy's computa
tion the Interest to bo deducted from these
claims will amount to only about $1,700.
The sentiment of the bank's creditors now
Is to wind up the affairs of tho Institution
ns quickly ns possible and It Is not likely
that the receivers will bo Impeded by nny
more litigation of a serious nature. The
next stop to be tnken by the receivers Is
to dlsposo of tho real cstato holdings of
the bank, nnd It is understood that Bevernl
offers nro now under consideration for sev
eral pieces of tho property. Tho prices of
fered. It Is stnlcd by the receivers, exceed
tho price nt which the property was listed
lu tho rocolvers' report nnd In that made
by tho npprulscrs appointed by tho court.
