The Nebraska supreme court Wednesday aeennea to retreat from its stand that tht state board of equalization erred last year in arbitrarily rdeucing assess ments of natural gas pipe lines 17 per cent. The "court overruled the board's motion for a rehearing in the case which had been brought by Attor ney General Sorensen and Gage Dakota and Saline counties. The court also denied a rehcarin New banking law was written in to the records Friday when the su preme court, in an opinion by Judge Frost, acting as a member of the court affirmed the action of the dis trict court of Dawes county in liti gation involving a draft issued by the First State bank of Alliance and which had not made the rounds of the mails before the bank was closed. The draft represented a deposit in the bank by the clerk of t.'m district court, who was custodian of funds realized from the Kale of lands un der an order of partition, and who used a check on theco fund.; with which to buy the draft sent to the party to whom the money wa3 due. The court says that even tho a de posit made in a bank by a clerk of th flic-trict court is made out of trust funds which are known to be such by an executive officer of the bank, still, when the representative of the beneficiaries of that trust fund asks the clerk 'to. purchase a draft in payment thereof and in response he receives and accept-; the draft so purchased, he becomes a creditor of the bank and loae bin right to any preference which he may have had over the depositor.". A purchase cf a bar.k draft, the court holds, is a purchaser of the bank's credit and a holder of ex change, and as ruoh J3 entitled to share pro rata with depositors and other holders of exchange in the as sets of a failed bank and in the de positor final settlement fund, but, in the absence cf spe-ial circum stances, is not er.tltlod to have his claim allowed as a trim fund. No such special circumotanccs arc found to exist in the case c.t bar.
