can received it, there being no law against
it, and we believe Democrat received it
when there aoas law against it, a volun-
tary gift of the county board. AS 20
the robbipg of the Court House, this is
something new, and if Mr.. Mahoney will
send us an account of the affair it shall be
duly published. 1t is certainly serious
charge and demands a speedy investiga-
ton. In his postscript Mr. NJ. indicates
that he knows of some one who has been
stealing" If this is the case we hold
that it is his duty to make immediate
complaint, unless he refuseson the ground
that the law does not compel witness to
criminate himself.
