KENNISH SUCCEEDS FOX. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 10.—Gov- ernor Hadley today appointed John Kennish of Kansas City to succeed the late Judge James D. Fox on the Supreme Court bench. Mr. Kennish was here and acccepted the appoint- ment. He will be commissioned for a term expiring January 1, 1911. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 11.—The Supreme Court en banc met this morning but adjourned almost im- mediately. John Kennish, who was appointed by Governor Hadley to weeds on the farms in the county, it) Kennish to succeed Judge Fox. ‘ “The Governor has appointed John He is well known to the bar of the State, and we feel assured that he will per- form faithfully the duties of his of- Incidentially, we would suggest to | fice.” Judge Lamm Acting Chief Justice of the court en banc announced that on October 24 memorial exercises would be held for the late Judge Fox and the members of the State bar'| were invited to participate.

The case of the State at the relation of S. L. Coleman, ex-officio collector, vs. DeWitt C. Blair et al, was heard ibefore Judge B. G. Thurman at Nevada Monday, and a verdict was | rendered in favor of the plaintiff. The suit was brought for the pur- pose of collecting the first and second assessments due on Drainage District No. 1, amounting to about $2,700. Suit was brought in Bates county, but was taken to Vernon county on a change of venue. Defense was made on the ground of insufficiency of record and lack of authority to make the assessment, on the ground that this was in viola- tion of the constitution of the State and the constitution of the Uuited States, | Judge Thurman holds that there was no irregularity in making the as- sessments and decreed that interests, |costs and attorney’s fees should be paid by defendants, which together with the assessment will amount to $3,900. An appeal will be taken by elected Chief Justice, to succeed | defts. Judge Fox. Judge Burgess is en- titled to the place by right of com- mission. He stepped aside when Judge Fox was elected so that all the members of the court might have the honor of acting as Chief Justice be- fore their terms expire. J. W. Barnhart Complimented. E. A.
