Such an interpretation would hijve ex empted me from any charge of violat ing the law, but we were not content with this and asked the district at torney to request an opinion from the attorney general. The attorney gen eral's ruling was that It applied to stockholders in corporations. Since that time no member of the school board has sold anything to the dis trict. The publication of the attor ney general's opinion which was giv en at our request, has resulted In a general observance of the law over the state," Mr. Brock stated further that his books are open to the public for in spection If anyone wishes to ascer tain what profit he has made.

Admission, Adults 10c, Children 5c With thirty witnesses at hand ready to tastify and seven attorneys repre senting the litigants the Sturetvant will contest came to trial this morning before County Judge C. H. Marsh. Judging from the length of time ta ken in the examination of the wit- nesse, the case will run into tomor row. I The case grows out of the death and the wills of the late A. J. Sturte vant, "father of Pilot Rock." One will largely in favor of the children of his deceased son, Vivian and Low ell Sturtevant, was presented for probate soon after the aged man's death last summer by T. J. Tweedy, his guardian. Subsequently his son, Mark Sturtevant, presented a latter will made out in his favor. This will was probated and Vivian and Lowell Sturtevant, through their mother, Mrs. Myrtle F. Carnes, are contesting It. They allege the old gentleman was mentally incompetent to make a will at the date borne by the later will. At the time he wa a legal incompetent and had a guardian. Most of the testimony will tend to establish or disprove the contention of the con testants. The first witness called was CountJ Clerk Frank Baling. He was used to Identify the instruments filed In the case. G. W. Coutts, one of the attor neys for the defendant, was the next witness. His name appears as one of the witnesses to the later will and he tetlfled that he drew It. He further testified he believed the old man was sane and mentally competent when he made the will. He said Mr. Sturtevant handed him a sheet of pa Jer upon which he had noted the pro visions of his will. There was an un derstanding between alt present, he said, that the fact of the will having been drawn should be kept secret. In the examination of this witness. Judge Fee, counsel for defendant, and "VT. M. Peterson, counsel for contestants, engaged In a heated duel of words. Dr. K. E. Ringo, the other witness to the will, was called this afternoon. Associated with Judge Fee and O. W. Coutts Is L. A. Esteb of Echo while JudKe Lowell, Col. J. IL Raley and District Attorney Htelwer are associat ed with Mr. Peterson. COSY THEATRE MUTUAL MOVIES.
