presence of George Summers made tair,
Just & amicable settlement OF said accounts
to that day. which settlement was signed
by my father and myself, and Witnessed ny
George Summers.
On the fourth day Of November 1886,
George Summers aud myself settled all
ou. accounts both of private and public cen
Germ, including his accounts against the
county, as rendered and ready to be refer
red to, in which accounts against the coun.
ty, are contained: not only charges Tor pay
ments made the county creditors, but Tor
all services by permitted him performed
on criminal prosecutions, about which time
he was offering TO act for me as assistant
deputy sheriff, the ensuing year as my tie
Their had then declined acting any longer
in such business, and | had farmed the
said sherff's Office of colonel GliPin tor
1887, and 1898, in which office col. GilPin
entered November court, one thousand Sc
ven hundred aud eighty six. Not at that
time knowing any thing OF the ungratefui
conduct of George Summers towards me,
in causing my fathers displeasure, as here
after will be explained, and in order still to
serve him, did agree to gIvaahim ISL. (25

duty of deputy sheriff in very small dis

faithful performance of which he gave me

(except part of the revenue) from Nov.

sisting on him to perform what he had "a
greed TO do, and what had paid him for,
he determined, as he thought, to iniure me
by publishing that he collected and paid to
me large sumsiof money received from per-
sons not listed by the commissioners of the
revenue, over and above what would
make good for delinquents &c.--which
