The town lot company makes propo-
sition to the tax payers of Meade county,
seals up and deposits it in the Penning-
ton county bank until too late to detect
the fraud they intended to perpetrate

run huge bluff.
Tilford proposes to build wooden
court house worth $4,000 on its own
plans and specifications. Sturgis pro-
poses to permit the county commissioners
to build brick court house to be APP
proved by the people Of the county,

Would bail bond signed by these
fifty two citizens of Sturgis for $4,000
be refused by the authorities as worth
less? Hardly. How many Of us would
like to hold a joint note Of theirs for this
amount as security for debt? We are
inclined to think none would refuse it.

telligence of the citizens of Meade coun-

locating the county seat by making to
them impossible promises to build a
court house out of the proceeds of the sale
of worthless lands that they don't own,
for ten times its value, argues want OF
acquaintance with our people that is
truly astonishing.
