Bohling filed an injunction suit in behalf of Justice of the Peace David Kinsey, against Judges O. M. Harris, G. Senior and James Ringen, comprising the Pettis county court. The petition follows: Plaintiff states that he is a taxpayer of Pettis county and sues for himself and all other citizens and taxpayers.

Plaintiff states that on the 6th day of December, 1899, one James A. Robb filed his petition in the circuit court, a certified copy of which is hereto attached and marked in which he seeks and prays for a writ of mandamus against the county court, requiring them to allow the said James A. Robb certain fees, which he alleges are due him as constable. That upon presentation x)f said petition as aforesaid, circuit court has granted a writ of mandamus in said cause against the defendants herein, requiring them to allow the fees due said J. A.

Robb, or show cause why they should not do so, on or before December 30, 1899. Plaintiff further that the defendants, as members of the county court, are about to employ private counsel to defend said cause of action so instituted against them by James A. Robb and pay private counsel out of the funds belonging to said Pettis county. That they have threatened and are about to wrongfully and illegally appropriate the sum of $600, funds belonging to the county, for the purpose of employing private counsel to defend suit instituted against them. That they have threatened to appropriate and use funds for the purpose of defending this suit, or defending themselves against any other suits that might be instituted against them in future.

That they have threatened to institute suits and to employ private counsel and pay such counsel out of the funds, to hold up said act so passed. That then plaintiff and all other resident taxpaying citizens of the county will suffer and maintain great and irreparable loss and injury, and a denial of their legal rights for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Wherefore plaintiff prays the court, by its decree, to order, enjoin and restrain said defendants from appropriating and using any funds belonging to the county for the purpose of defending said suit against James Robb, and enjoining and restraining the defendants rtfrom using the funds to defend said suit or any other suit that may be instituted against them in the future, in which the said law, so passed as aforesaid, may become an issue, and enjoining and straining them from instituting and prosecuting any suit which may seek or have for its object upholding said law, with the funds belonging to the county; and chat a temporary injunction may now be awarded herein, enjoining and restraining defendants as such Meetiiisr of to Be Held This Evening. THE CALIFGxtWIA LAND. Shall It Be Disposed Of At Ouce and the Altairs Of the Bank Wound Up? To the Editor of the emocrat As the depositors of the defunct First National bank of will meet tonight at 7 at the office of Judge Shirk, I wish to make a few remarks.

I learn the comptroller Thants to know whether the depositors are in favor of an immediate disposition of the California lands, ao other assets being left except $13,000 in Washington. These California lands, 1,154 acres in all, of which 104 acres are improved, planted in and oranges, and 1,050 acres unimproved, were bought by Newkirk and Thompson at artificial value in boom times. To dispose of these lands the best time will be the month 01 January, eastern people going to California after Christmas, and bv proper publication sealed bids, not later than February ist, 1900, ought to be received by the present receiver, Mr. Deweese, both from here and California, subject, however, to approval of the comptroller. The sale ot the California lands stops all further expenses, which expenses have been enormous in the past.

Furthermore, permit me to say, with all courtesy to all the parties having had charge of the assets and expenditures of the defunct bank, from the day of failure, a detailed account ought to be given. Depositors as well as unfortunate stockholders have the right to demand it. Every administrator and trustee estate, all public officials of all kinds, handling public funds, have to make detailed reports of the private or public funds entrusted to them, and it seems simple justice that receivers of defunct banks ought to do the same. epositor OFFICERS CHOSEN.
