County Clerk Kiefer has evidently been
disappointed in the outcome of his Office.
He expected to have more funds to
handle, and being disappointed, has
been correspondingly unhappy. He wanted
the money, but for the life of him could not
tell how to get it. Mr.. Armstrong has ac-
cordingly come to his relief, and presented
the following petition to the court:

Company, plaintiff, VS.. Oliver Amrs ct al,
defendants, and the Lake Superior Missis-
sippi Railroad Company, plaintiff, against
John Burns ct al, defendants.
The undersigned respectfully represents that
whilst acting as clerk of said court of common
pleas lie received from the attorney of said
railroad company on its behalf in said cases.
being amount of condemnation money awarded
and not others, paid to the parties. the amount
aggregating $24 ,O84.l8.
That petitioner has paid out from time to
time on orders of court the amount of s22,-
444.S3, leaving still in his hands the sum of

relieved from further responsibility, and as
this balance is payable to nonresident parties

to come;
