Court Unusual Points 07 Law Invol ved in Case of Absconding Membn oj Greek Firm Constable Sued For Alleged Neglect. A case involving several unusual features has grown out of the abscond ing of Ernest Cappias. who with Pete Pappas.'a fellow Greek, who until a few weeks ago, operated a candv and fruit store on East Trade street. Ernest ; decamped one night in December with about $o00 of the funds of the firm of Cappias & Pappas, leaving -Pappas to face the creditors. Zimmerman & Co., Moody & Co., and R. H. Field & Co., represented by Mr. J. A. Bell, secured jud ndo-ment a(ra, p. insane defunct gating about $300 agai firm and 'Squire S. H. Hilton, who granted the judgment also granted an' execution of the judgment which was put in, the hands of Constable Will, Li ' Austiiff - v - ?: " "'"--r ! Lombray - & Co., wholesale banana dealers, through their attorney, Mr. C. ' W. Tillett, jr., also secured judg ment against the firm for about $200. 'Squire J. Watt Hood, before whom the case of Lombray & Co., was heard, also granted an execution of that judg ment which was put into the hands of Sheriff Wallace. Both officers went to perform their duty. When Sheriff Wallace went to: the establishment on East Trade street to post the legal notice required In such cases he found Constable Austin driving the first tack in a similar poster. Then came Mr. D. B. Paul, repre senting ther remaining partner of the firm Peter Pappas, who claimed the personal property exemption. This Constable Austin, who was executing .the judgment in favor of Moody & Co., R. H. Field & Co., and Zimmerman & Co., was about to grant the partner of the absconding Cappias, according to the requirement of the law. At this juncture the first creditors, Mody & Co., Field & Co., and Zimmerman & Co., filed a $500 justified bond, accord ing to the advice of their counsel, and objected to exempting the personal property of Peter Pappa3, the remain ing partner. The law in cases similar to this one specifies that the personal property exemption shall be made in an insol vent co-partnership unless one partner obpjects. The statute however does not make provision for the case in ques tion, it is said, because, the partner, the absent Cappias, has not raised ob jection, but is still in a sense a partner in the business; and the case furnish es some unusual features. ' Peter Pappas, the remaining part ner, has, through his counsel, Mr. D. B. Paul, brought suit against the consta ble for, refusing to make the personal property exemption. The " case will come up at the nevt term of civil court. - TURKISH TROOPS TO BE HEAVILY REINFORCED. By . Associated Press. Athens, Greece, Feb. 1.

In the ninth Murphy was against the ropes- when the bell rang. Murphy landed the greater number of blows and did the more telling work in the close fighting but at no time was the local boy in apparent danger: . In the tenth Hogan caught Murphy a hard right on the eye and a second later was bleeding at the mouth from a hard left. In the 18th Murphy rush ed matters and had all the better of the round. His punches carried a sting while those of. Hogan had lost their force. v , The last round found both men fighting hard. Murphy repeatedly rush ed into clinches. He slowed up at the end, however, Hogan having landed several hard rights while pushing Mur phy out of clinches. CONVICTS WANT THEIR PICTURES TAKEN, By Associated Press. Lansing, Kas., Feb. 1.
