SHERIFF FRIDLEY ARRESTED!

Monuay, py coroner J NJ Castner, per order oil
warrant from Lardener Bostwick, ESQ.,, of St
Anthony, to answer to violation of the law con-
cerning our County matters. 1t seems that it is
necessary that the Sheriff should make his returns

(for the settlement was not made until April
the l6th) and this action is brought to hold him
answerab!e. We append that portion of the Sta
tutc bearing on the subject, for the benefit of our
