THE LOGAN COUNTY CASES.

An Accurate Sampl0' OF I0em-Jh0
Facts as They Appear from the Rec.
ord.
In order to be able to state the |
facts in the case Of his own knowl. |
edge, the editor of the TINES visited |
the seat of Logan county. last night,
in company with Mr.. Montandop, the
we'll known attorney at law.
Yves. B. George, the Clerk Of the
District Court, was not in his Office. |
The editor and Mr.. Montandon went
to his house. In answer to . call for
MIR. George, Mrs. George, his wife,
SAID:
"Mr. George is gone out in the
country; he went on the train this af-
ternoon. But if yours is official bus
mess | can attend to it, az l am his
deputy"
The three thereupon proceeded to
the Clerks Office, where all the papers
in the so-called "alleged" illegal
warrant cases y ere produced.
There are SIX cases, with two sets
of papers in each. One set Of papers
was for Lincoln county, the other for
Logan county. In each set there is a
complaint, an answer, . notice Of ap-
peal. bond on appeal, and perhaps
one or two other papers-such. for
instance, as an application for sum-
mons, or return, or something like
that.
All the papers were not looked
through, but several were examined,
and at least two cases and four sets
of papers picked up at random aud
compared.
The reporter is therefore prepared
to state that, to the best of his knowl-
edge and belief, the complaints are
all drawn up in the following form:
In the District Court Of the Fourth Judicial Dis
trict of ,he State of Idaho. In and for the
/ county of Lincoln
| o. P. johnson. plaintiff.
A. s. senter. J. L. Fuller. and H. T. Smith
IS The Board Of cnunty Commissioners Of
Brown, Defendants.
Comes now the plaintiff, 0. P
Johnson, and alleges that he is res
ident and taxpayer in the county ol
Lincoln, State Of Idaho, and the
owner Of real and personal propert,
In said county consisting of land
and live stock, cattle and horses
valued and assessed, at the times
hereinafter mentioned, at more than
ten thousand dollars lawful money OF
the United States, and appeals to the
District Court Of the Fourth Judicial
District of Idaho. in and for Lincoln
county, as follows:
To A S. Senter, j. L. Fuller, and
Fl. T. Smith, as the Board of County
Commissioners of Lincoln county,
State Of Idaho, aud Arthur Brown,
defendants.
You will take notice: That the
plaintiff above-named, O. P. Johnson,
hereby appeals to the District Court
Of the Fourth Judicial District, of the
State of IDAHO, in and for the county
Of Lincoln, from an order made by
J. S. Wilton and NJ. L. DAVIS, act
ing as the Board Of County Commits
sioners Of Logan county, in the city
of Bellevue, in said State and county,
on the 9th day of February, A. D.
1891, said order being in words and
figures as follows, to>wit:
"Ordered bv the Board that a war
rant be issued for $500 in favor of
Arthur Brown, for services rendered
in preparing a brief on the unconst..
nationality of Senate bill No. 40, ere
ating the counties of Alta and Lln-
coin, out of the counties of Alturas
and Logan"
This appeal is taken from the whole
of said order, and upon questions of
both law and fact. And further that
plaintiff is greatly agerieved thereby.
And that said order and allowance is
prejudicial to the public inter
BRUNER s. BARsoNs,
VIC. BlERBowER,
Attorneys for Plaintiff.
The names of attorneys are alike
on all the Lincoln county cases. In
