Great Indignation is felt by the tax
payers in this part of the county be
cause Lyon county is about to be ccm
pelled to build q bridge across the Ne
osho river at Hartford for the benefi
land on the west side of the river Il
Coffey county was annexed TO thi
county for the express purpose of sad
ding the whole expense of bQildin
this bridge on this6county. Hartfer
has one good bridge and the new one i
wanted one mile down the river t
make short cut for some of the Col
fey county people. the bridge is no
needed and not wanted by any part @
this county except Hartford, and Harl
ford wants it for the benefit of tn
Coffey county trade. The legislator
and officers who are trying to perpe
trate this rank injustice ought to b
consigned to political obscurity.
this move is nothing but bunkum
they deserve the same fate for thei
trickery and doubIe-dealing.
