We have heard it guessed on the
street that Mayor McNeal edited the
last issue of the Cresset. BE that as il
may, that paper said never wore
about the commissioners paying tht
expenses of litigation in the comfy de
post case, after the Citizens bank haG
agreed to pay the same. The Crosse
bowls its Indignation at the FRS
National bank, and at the former
boards of commissioners, but stranger,
forgets to say that this act was right o.
wrong. 1t has way OF not mention
ing anything that will put it's Friends
in bad light, and still worse way o
distorting little affairs that will plac
its opponents in bad light. If tn
commissioners paid these bills, as tn
records show, was it right or wrong?
