IMPORTANT LAW SUIT.-A suit was yes
terday commenced in the Justices Court |
by the District Attorney against D. A.
Fulks, John G. Lynch and julius Hoff-
man, County Commissioners Of Lincoln |
county, for the immense sum of fifty dol
lars, which he claims to be due him on
the second conviction of Jas. Gleason,
when Gleason without trial pleaded guilty
to murder in the second degree. The
County Commissioners have already al
lowed bill of one hundred dollars
(Which was fifty dollars too much) for
the first conyiceion, tor services that were
never performed. as during that trial,
when we were present (and we were there
throughout the entire proceedings), it
struck us very forcibly that A. b. Hunt.
Esq, was doing the entire work of the
prosecution. Now, if A. B. Hunt had
charged the county with his services. it
would have been nothing more than right
for the Commissioners to have allowed
him his CHARGE but the idea is prepos-
ferrous to think that where no services are
performed that pay should be had. We
have yet to learn that the Office of Dis.
trict Attorney is o sinecure. The County
Commissioners are in bad fix. Their
legal adviser, one employed and paid by
the county, goes back on them, and sues
to recover fifty gold coin dollars for SER
vices not rendered. What will they do2
Settle the amount aud costs, pat him on
the back, tell him that 10 correct, and say
to him: whenever We don't do right by
you Mr.. District Attorney, you go for us;
or, will they engage proper counsel and
go for him little. We are pretty well
advised that they will go for him little,
so that in the future be will know the
rights Of citizens in contradistinction to
the rights of We District Attorney. The
case is set for Saturday, August the 7th.
when the rights of all parties will be ven-
tilatsd.
The WEATHER. - Yesterday was an ex.
ceedingly warm and sultry day, the
thermometer marking 90 degrees in the
RECORD business Office, that being q
comparatively cool place to the wood
buildings of which Phoebe is mostly com
posed. Nothing OF interest going OIL
wherewith to stir the blood and make ar
item, except ye firemen election, ant
that Passed off very quietly, No brawl
or fights, only little angry discussion
to vary the monotony once in a grea
while. The sky few times throughou
the day would cloud up and we woul,
hear a clap OF thunder and think W
would have rain, but it came not, mucl
to our disappointment.
A MANpAMUs.-Yesterdsy the presen
Board Of County Commissioners, Fulks
Lynch and Hoffman, were served with
mandamus requiring them to appear b.
