For two weeks or more there have been
mutterings and rumors in regard to certain
proceedings that were to be instituted against
the old board Of county commissioners and the
late county clerk. Heretofore we have alb
stained from mentioning these rumors, pre-
ferring to await developments. These rumors
alleged that action was to be brought for the
recovery Of sum Of money amounting to be-
tween eight and nine thousand dollars. On
the 9th of March civil suit was entered
against P. S. Maskay and E. J. Mcmahon for
the sum of $1,s64.73. On the 18th Of March
J. A. Gray swore out Il complaint against E.
J. Mcmahon charging him with the crime of
forgery. 1t was known that Mcmahon was in
Bismarck, and that he would return to Hope
on the following Saturday or Tuesday, but in
the face of this the sheriff was at once dis
patched to Bismarck to arrest and bring him
back to Hope, and not satisfied with this, Mr..
Gray caused a telegram to be sent to the sheriff
of Stutsman county to arrest and detain Nc
Mahon, and he was arrested and released OH
parole by Judge Francis We mention these
facts to show the personal animus that actuated
Gray in making this arrest. 1t is we'll known
to all in Hope that Gray is and has been bit
ter personal enemy of McMahon's, and the
belief is general that be made Use Of the Off
cial position in which he was placed to crafty
his personal ennity. This conclusion is ire
sistible. We cay nothing about the expense
incurred. II a crime had been committed and
there was danger Of the guilty party escaping
that would have been proper, But in this case
the party accused lived here and could have
been apprehended at any time up to the day lie
left to 60 to Bismarck, and it was well known
that he would return as soon as the legi laturo
adjourned. The particular act upon which the
charge is based is the issuing of an order to C.
II. Ward, late sheriff, for the sum Of $1SS. 66.
The records Of the county show that the bill
was allowed at a meeting held Dec s, 1858,
but it is alleged two Of the commissioners were
absent The proceedings were published, and
the matter va. one Of public notoIety at the
