A census of Harrisonville recently taken, with a view to ascertaining if that town could vote on the local option proposition aside from the county, showed a population of 1,946 and Pleasant Hill about the same, as a consequence those towns will have to submit to be voted with the county.

It was a spirited game and the teams were well matched and interest was kept up. Victory perched on the banner of the Butler team by a score of 18 to 13. A large audience witnessed the game. Jackson county, outside of Kansas City and Independence voted on local option last Saturday, and by a vote of 3,399 to 1486 decided to retain the old order of things. The "wets" claimed a victory, while the "drys" claim that the fear of losing the big road fund gained by saloon license was the contributing cause of their defeat.

# Rich Hill Bank Not Liable For # Bates National Stock. St. Louis Globe Democrat, 8th. The Rich Hill Bank of Rich Hill, Mo., is not liable for the $4,000 worth of stock it held in the defunct Bates National Bank of Butler according to an opinion handed down by the United States Court of Appeals yesterday, affirming the finding of the Circuit Court. William J Butler, receiver for the Bates Nat'l brought suit against the Rich Hill Bank, Frank McVey and W. F. Tygard to recover a stockholders' assessment levied by the comptroller of currency, alleging that the Rich Hill Bank owned forty shares of $100 each in the name of Tygard as trustee; that the latter had the stock transferred to McVey, who, the petition alleged, was a farmhand in Tygard's employ and insolvent; that the transfer was made for the fraudulent purpose of avoiding the additional liability in said stock. The Court of Appeals, in affirming the decision of the lower court, states that the petition of the plaintiff failed to allege the insolvency of the national bank at the time of the transfer and asserts that there is no evidence to show that the Rich Hill Bank or its officers had knowledge of the bank's insolvency at the time of the transfer.
