'RANK SIII.VVS INJECTION SUIT,
lleiirliiK on Aiipllentlon for IlcMmln-
Inic Order In Set for Toiluy.
Tbo hearing on tho application for a
temporary restraining order In tho ln
lunctlon suit brought by Frank Sllnn
ngalnst tho Hoard of County Supervisors,
the county auditor and trensurer and F.
M. Cunningham, tho "tax ferret," is sot
for this morning before Judgo Thornell In
tho district court. Owing to the OfTlcor
& Pusoy bank hearing not being com
pleted, it is probablo tho Injunction caso
will not bo taken up before tho afternoon,
or possibly some time Thursday.
Frnnk Shlnn yesterday filed an amend
ment to his petition In which ho alleges
that tho contract entered Into between
tho Board of County Supervisors nnd Cun
ningham Is unfair, Inequitable, speculative
and that tho compensation for tbo services
to bo performed by Cunningham ts un
reasonable and excessive. Ho nlso attacks
tho validity ot tho contract on tho grounds
that It Is void Inasmuch as Cunningham
failed to comply with section 5 of chap
ter I of thn acts of tho Twenty-eighth
General assembly and file his written ac
ceptance within thirty days of tho passage
of that net, of 15 per cent ot all moneys
recovered to tho county through his efforts.
For this reason, It Is alleged by Shlnn that
tho contract Is null unci void and In direct
conflict with that section of tho law. These
points were not raised In tho original peti
tion filed last week.
County Attorney Klllpark expects to file
his answer on behalf of tho county officers
this morning. Cunningham's attorney will
also file his answer this morning.
Tho board of supervisors Is placed In a
somewhat peculiar position by Attorney
Shlnn's action, At tho November session
tho members of tho board stated in opon
meeting that they would try and get out
of tho contract with, Cunningham If they
could find any loophole whereby they could,
Now the board Is placed in tho position ot
having to defend tho contract and to con
tend that It 1b valid and not In violation ot
the law.

Evidence of I'et 1 1 lonrm In Cnnc of Of
ficer A. I'usey flunk.
Tho hearing yesterday In tho OfTlcer &
I'uscy bank caso In tho district court was
devoid of any sensational Incidents or tes
timony, Tho greater part of tho day was
taken up In offering evidence on the part
of the petitioners to show that tho real cs
tnto holdings of the bank had been listed on
the firm's books at a greatly overestimated
value.
In one Instance It was shown that tho
Hanthorn property had been carried on
tho bank's books at a value of $28, COO,
whereas testimony wns Introduced to show
that the market valtio of the holding did
not exceed from $5,000 to JC.000. Several
real estate dealers of tho city wcro placed
on tho stand, nnd their testimony In tho
main was that tho bank's real property was
overvalued.
Charles T. Officer, eldest son of tho lato
Thomas Officer, was put on tho stand to tes
tify as to the manner In which the busi
ness of tho bank was transacted. Ills tes
timony showed that ho had been In tho
employ of tho bank for twenty-two years,
that ho wns familiar with tho method of
doing business, and that ho war also fa
miliar with tho real estate holdings of tho
bank. Ho wns examined In tho lntter re
spect and testified that a book wan kept In
which the rcnl estate holdings of tho bank
were recorded, nlso thoso of his father,
tho lnttor being kept Rcpnrato from thoio
of the firm. Tho examination of Mr. Of
ficer was mainly directed to provo what
property had been hold by Thomas Officer
'prior to 1896, this being Important as to
tho question of tho bank's solvoncy at that
date.
Attorney J. J. Stewart, to whom had been
entrusted a number of bills rccclvnblo for
collection, testified as to their value. His
evldonco wns to the effect thnt n large num
ber of them wcro fifteen nnd twenty years
old and tho mnjorlty outlawed. Ho bad
been nblo to collect a little money on some
of them, owing to tho parties not being,
awaro that thoy woro outlawed.
John P. Weaver, whoso indebtedness
formed a considerable asset of tho sus
pended banking firm, testified as to his
property on which Officer & Puscy held
mortgnges. Ho said ho bad about 120,000
bricks on hand which ho thought would
bring $5.60 a thousand nt tho brickyard.
Ho also went Into details concerning tho
Indebtedness of the Globo Publishing com
pany to the bank, but nothing but what has
already been mado public was adduced by
his testimony.
Tho hearing will be resumed this morn

Frnnk StcKnl's Preferred Clnlm.
Frnnk Stegal, who has fllod a preferred
claim ngalnst tho bank, filed yesterday an
answer to the petition of Intervention now
being heard before Judgo Thornell, which
further complicates matters and raises
another question. Stegall in his answer nl
leges that the claims of petitioners repre
sent Interest received on money deposited,
nnd asks that this be excluded from their
claims. Ho asks further that the petitioners
who are seeking to provo tho hank's Insol-
vency bo required to refund whatever

STOMACH
Instantly Relieved nntl Permanently
Cared by .Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, Hut JVot a Patent
Medicine.
Dr. Redwcll relates an Interesting account
of what ho considers n rrmnrkablo enso of
acute stomach troublo and chronic dyspepsia
by tho ubo of the now discovery, Stunrt's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Ho says: "Tho patient wns n man who
hnd suffered, to my knowledge, for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he nto seemed
to fcour nnd create gases in tho stomach.
Ho had pains llko rheumatism in tho back,
shoulder blades nnd limbs, fullness nnd dis
tress after eating, poor nppotlto and loss
of fleRh; tho heart becamo affected, causing
palpitation and sleeplessness nt night.
"I gavo him powerful ncrvo tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment I finally bought n 50 cent pack
ago of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets nt a
drug store and gave them to him. Almost
Immcdlato relief wns given nnd after ho
had used four boxes ho was to all appenr
nncca fully cured.
"Thero was no more acidity or sour, wat
ery risings, no bloating after meals, tho
appetite was vigorous and ho had gained be
tween 10 nnd 12 pounds In weight of solid
healthy flesh.
"Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets aro
advertised and sold In drug stores, yet I
consider then' n most valuable addition to
nny physician's lino of remedies, ns they
aro perfectly harmless and can bo given to
children or invalids or In any condition of
the stomach, with porfoct rafety, being
harmless and containing nothing hut fruit
and vegctahlo essences, puro pepsin nnd
