bills Of Rocky Bar parties, which
they claim are legal, justly due and
correct, and these gentlemen have
pooled claims and will sue the
county dads bondsmen not only for
these claims but to recover about
$4,000 for the taxpayers which it is
said the records will show that these

paid out to favored few. More

came almost uncomfortable, and the
