Miss Robinson had been promoted to take the place of a teacher who received $65 and under these circum- stances the superintendent considered she was entitled to an increase. Member Macrae sald he was unable to see how such a mistake had been made and wanted an Investigating committee ap- pointed. In this he was supported by Mem- ber Gorman, but the other members did not view the matter in the same light and the motfon fafled to carry. Then Member Gorman suggested that the teachers’ com- mittee be required to make a report in the matter at the next meeting, but this aleo falled to meet with the approval of the majority and the matter was finally allowed to drop.

JURY IS ILLEGALLY DRAWN Attorney for Carl Hector Carries One Polnt, but Falls to Get Continuance. Judge Wheeler yesterday held that the jury for the November term of district court fo Avoca had not been drawn in accordance with the strict requirements of the law | and, after discharging the jurors, ordered that a special venire of fifty jurors be at once drawn to take the place of the regular panel. Fremont Benjamin, attorney for Carl Hector, charged with the murder of Charles Johnsen, falling to securd a coatinuance of the case until the mext term, challenged the jury, claiming that it had been drawn contrary to law. The jury was drawn No- | vember 5 by H. V. Battey, deputy clerk of Qistrict court at Avoea, County Re- corder Smith and Deputy County Auditor Frederick, acting for County Auditor Innes. Attorney Benjamin contended that the dep- | uty county auditor had no authority to | sist 1n the drawing of & jury except at such | times when the county auditor himself | might be incapacitated through sickness | from doing 80, and that at the time this jury was drawn County Auditor Innes was | cot suffering trom sickness, but, in fact, was in his office at the time the names of the jurors were selected. On this show- ing Attorney Benjamin moved that the jury ot caly be discharged, but the trial of his client ‘postponed to the next term. Judge Wheeler, while sustaining the chal- train was switching at the Clarinda state hospital and struck the ground on his head. His attention was diverted in watching some patients and he falled to notice & low timber of the coal shed from which the train was emerging. Contact with the tim- ber as the train was moving caused his fall. His physicians believe death is probable.
