In the matter Of the petition OF G..
b. Ashley, the following resolution

Vhereas, 1t appears from an ex-
animation OF the Supervisors record
that early in the war Of the rebellion
the board of supervisors offered an
outfit Of 80 to such rs would enlist
i'm the army OF the United States, and
afterwards granted an uniform boun-
ty Of 800 to all those who enlisted
or were drafted into the service OF
tho United States to fill Howard
county quota therein and who were
credited thereto, and provided a
bounty fund from which to pay the
same, and
Hhereas, Chas. B. Ashley has salts
actorily shown that he SO enlisted
and WAS so accredited on Howard
county quota, and that he received
only so, or the outfit above mention
ed, and that he never received the
800 balance of said bounty; and
Uhereas, it fuRther appears that
the board of Supervisors did at their
September session 1867, by rcsolu-
tion instruct the county Treasurer
to pay, ordering county warrants
out of the bounty fund. and it is be-
lieved that sufficient of said bounty
fund was SO used to pay ordinary
county warrants to satisfy said
claim; therefore be it
Resolrcd, That ninety dollars be
and is hereby appropriated out OF
the county fund to pay said claim
and that the county Auditor be and
is hereby instructed to issue war
rant for the above amount in favor
of said G. b. Ashley.
