Dwight P. Barnes and wife of Bristol
Conn, arc the guests of J. M. Thoma-
son. Mr.. Barnes was one of the very
early settlers of Sank Centre, and was
a soldier here in the stockade, He re-
manned here nearly two years, took a
claim, now the George Cleveland farm,

o. G. Lyman returned from Chaldron,
Neb, on Saturday last having in charge
his daughter and sorl-in-law, ]. w. Len
nington, who is very Ill, SO i'll that it was
deemed advisable to leave him in the city
for several days before attempting to
remove him to Raymond. Mr.. Lyman
is more thoroughly impressed than ever

THERE is trouble between the county
attorney and the board of county COM
missioners relative to paying the bills
for the re-survey of portion of Sank
Centre. Auditor Lutz sent the surveyor
to do the work, and he employed several
assistants at cost of about So, 900. The
board audited the bills one-half OF which
have been paid, the balance being due
on June IS. The county attorney de-
sires to appeal from the award, and in
order to do so requires petition signed
by seven tax payers, and such petition
has been sent here and signed. 1t is true
the auditor was unauthorized to have
the work done, and there is grave doubts
as to it's having any value now that it
is done, but having paid half the bills to
men who worked in good fairh, can the
county consistently or Eeven legally re-
pudiate the other i1al!2 The amounts
paid cannot be legally levied upon Sank
Centre property in any event, but 1t
does seem that the county should pay
for the work done in good faith, and If
there be any redress against Auditor
Lutz or his bondsmen, let it recoup itself
from that source, but not from the hard
eaenings of laboring men.
