Mr.. Smith oppose this bill most en-

pense if they allowed the bill, if the tax
payers didn't do it.
Mr.. Trofatter stated that Messrs. Lam

Mr.. Smith wanted to know who ordered
these blankets, and if it wasn't a pretty
big price for them.
Mr.. Trofatter-I gave the order for
them. They are heavy, serviceable blan-
kets, and were necessary to keep the pris-
oners from freezing.
Mr.. Smith-Do you sleep under S11
blankets. l find myself very comfortable
under 81 ones, even in the coolest weather.
Mr.. Trofatter-The blankets are fully
worth the price.
On m stion of Mr.. Trofatter the bill was
allowed, unanimously.
G.. Gavin, SIT 25, for plumbing, ETC.,
at Courthouse. Allowed.
Joseph Romeo, S13 Is, for cutting wood
for Courthouse.
Mr.. Trofatter interposed a mild objec-
ton to the bill on behalf of economy,
stating that the various county officers
and their deputies should saw and split
their W wood. His facetious proposition
was not accepted by the members of the
Board, and the bill was allowed.
P. N. Hansen, SIT 50, for candles, to-
bacco, etc., for Jail.
Mr.. Trofatter interjected an objection to
the bill on account Of the tobacco. He
thought the jailer, Sheriff and the depu-
ties were IN the habit of borrowing the to-
bacco from the prisoners, and that there
was a larger mount charged for than Or
dered. He had only consented to six
pounds, while eight pounds were charged
in the bill.
Mr.. Smith-It has been customary to
furnish the prisoners with tobacco.
District Attorney Garber-It is a VIC
ious custom, and it would be we'll to
discontinue it.
The bill was allowed.
Barlow & Henderson, S32 80, for making
and repairing shackles under Sheriff Kyle's
administration. Allowed.

per ]. G. Stuart, Road Supervisor. Laid
over,
W. H. Sweeney, IS, to pay informer
who procured the arrest Of persons selling
liquor to Indians. This bill elected some
desultory discussion. Mr.. Trofatter held

outside aid, to secure the arrest OF offend
ers against the law. They were paid for
that duty. Under Sheriff Hill said the
arrests could not have been effected with
out outside aid. The Sheriff was forced
to employ Indians to detect the white
sooundrels who were selling liquor to
them. The Offenders had been arrested
and punished, and the county had thereby
received into its treasury a fine Of $50.
The bill was finally allowed.
Charley Fox, $78 05, for feeding prison.
ers at the Jail in January.
Mr.. Smith wanted to know if Mr.. Fox
had not had the job Of feeding the pris-
oners long enough. There we're other
taxpayers in the restaurant business who
might want a chance to serve meals at the
Courthouse at 10 cents a day to the pris-
oners.
There being no other objection the bill
was allowed.
D. J. j. Mclaughlin, s24 rs, for fees,
etc., as Justice of Ruby Hill Township.
The bill was referred to the District Attor-
ney, who stated that the law only allowed
$40 in each case. The bill was cut down
to SIG, and granted.
James H. Stephens, 1927 80, for services
as Constable Of Ruby Hill Township, item.
lied as fees for arrests, subpenas, etc. The
bill contained fees for the arrest Of a num-
Der of drunken 'squaws and bucks. Re-
ferred to the District Attorney. He
recommended that the present bill be
passed, but that the Board inform the
Constable that in future he would be re-
CURED to have a complaint to make his
arrests. He tthe District Attorney was
oognisant Of only one case being tried.
Mr.. Arlington did not think it was right
and proper to allow a Constable full dis.
erection in making arrests, and he opposed
the bill.
Mr.. Trofatter said he had lived on the
Hill, but during his entire residence he
had not seen as many drunken Indians as
were alleged to have been arrested during
January by the Constable, particularly
drunken suuaws. 1t was a big bill. He
