HIGH COURT CUTS
ATTORNEY'S FEES
Commissioner Martin Bulei in
Doug-las Suit Lawyers May
Not Eat Up Estate.
HEIRS MUST HAVE A CHABCE
(From a Staff CorrMPondaot.), , .
Lincoln, June 17. (Special.) In
opinions handed down by the supreme
court commission this morning there
ire five reversals, as follows: Newell
against Stull, Cass county; Schultz
against Abrams, Kearney county;
..Walker against Richey, Adams
county; JolTenstein against Ohslund,
Keith county, and Winch against
Kaley, Douglas county.
In opinions made by the commis
sion no written opinion is filed by
the clerk except in cases of reversal.
The Douglas county case is con
troversy over the allowance of attor
ney fees rendered in the estate of
t Seth F. Finch, the opinion being by
- Commissioner Grant Martin. In the
; settlement of the estate, which went
' through several terms of court, four
attorneys were connected with the
, - estate and received, different amounts..
' J. L. Kaley and L. D. Holmes re
ceived $750 in cash each and an al
lowance of $500 more each -by the
. district court. W. A. Saunders or his
estate was allowed $500 additional to
the $500 already assumed to have
. been received.. . Charles Haffke was
given $200 for services rendered the
executors and A. L. Reed, executor,
and his assistant was given $500 for
services rendered.
It was contended that no allowance
should have been given to Haffkee Or
the executors and that the allowance
made to Kaley and Saunders was ex-eeasive.
The executors realized $20,000 from
the sale of the estate, of which $14,-
000 went to pay off trie mortgage in-'
r. debtedness. court costs, taxes and
litigant expenses. The executors have
a balance on hand of $5,000 and in
reversing the judgment ot the Uoug
las county district court Commit
sioner Martin holds that while the
attorneys saved the estate in one in
stance $1,000 alone, and the amount
i allowed the attorneys for their serv
; ices was not too much, there are
i other factors entering into the con'
; troversv. . . -
In the words of the commissioner,
"Four attorneys rendered service in
this case. It seems to us that one
. attorney could have taken care of
these matters and that where two or
more rendered service their fees
. should be no greater than the service
s rendered by one. The estate
. was small and no matter what the
t services rendered were worth, the
court cannot permit the estate to be
eaten up by attorneys tees, i
1 "We find that Kaley should re
. ceive $250 instead of $500 allowed
him by the court; that the estate of
said Holmes should not be allowed
any sum'in addition to the $750 it has
. already received; that the estate of
i said Saunders should receive $500 -as
Mull compensation.
', According to the court, Haffkee
; should be allowed $150, A. L. Reed
$200 and the legal representatives of
the estate of Frank Foster S2Q0.
Under these ruling the case is re-
i manded and reversed. - .

Pearson flew back to the fastnesses of
his short grass country home when
he believed Governor Morehead was
likely to drop in this morning, indi
cates that the real governor might
not approve of the acta of the acting
governor, and it might be wisdom to
ee from danger.
However, acting Governor Pearson
acted to hastily. He miiht have re
mained a few more days and wielded
the scepter of power over the state
little longer, for Governor Morehead
has not returned and is not even

for several days at Excelsior Springs.

had gone in that direction, so I beat
it over there, where I wound that
Lieutenant Merchant and Captain
Lawrence, Seventeenth infantry, had
hit what apparently was a rear guard,
which had dismounted and were hid
ing in the rocks to delay any pursuit.
We chased this bunch up the gorge
for about three miles, but they scat
tered and we lost them for awhile.
You must remember that these moun
tains are a continuation of the
Rockies, and the gorges and canyons
almost impassable. To find a bunch
once scattered is like locating the pro
verbial needle in the hay stack.
Bodies of Bandits Sent to Town.
"Later I went back and directed
that our dead Private Marksbury
had died in the meantime and
wounded, with the bodies of two Mex
icans, be taken into camp in our
wagon. I rode in ahead and reported
to Captain Walton that I was sure
we had Cervantes. He immediately
wirer General Pershing at Namiquipa.
We had the body identified here by
six Mexicans and all declared it was
Candelario Cervantes, so we buried
the men. At midnight three trucks
came in from Namiquipa for the
bodies of the notorious bandits. We
dug them up and sent them down.
The next morning General Pershing
wired that our identification had been
correct. The men were Cervantes
and Jose Bencomo, aide and body

Burial of Marksbury.
"We buried Private Marksbury here
yesterday, and, for this wild, lone
some place, it was very impressive.
We made a coffin from hard tack
boxes and dug the grave under a
lonesome tree on a high knoll over-
I looking camp. We draped our storm
flag about the cottin, put the body
in the truck, and ' the procession
started. The pallbearers were six
noncommissioned officers of the com
pany. Then came the firing squad,
followed by the company and the
machine gun company.
When we reached the grave the
guard
men formed a square about it. Cap
tain Walton made a few appropriate
remarks, there being no prayer book
for the regular burial service in the
camp. Three volleys were fired over
the grave and the musician played
taps. It was a simple and crude
burial, but the surroundings, and the
circumstances, made it most impres
sive." .

The Nebraska State league of local
loan and building associations will

gling financial infancy to aggregate
resources around $45,000,000, placing
the state seventh in the progressive

The record will be appropriately
observed with addresses and other

Being liberal and generous, in affairs
