County Matters.

We stated last week that Alturas
county warrants, If withheld from
market, would in six months com
mand 80 cents on their face value.
This statement was based upon sta
tistics that tell their own story.
The county's Indebtedness, aside
from the debt Of old Alturas coun-
ty, which will be funded on long
time and paid out of revenues to
be derived from resources yet to be
developed, amounts to about $4O,-
600. The income of the county
this year will be about $28, 300 from
all sources. Current expenses lex
cept schools) about $4,000. This
income is increasing, and we think
should be Is per cent greater next
year than this. It should certainly
be is per cent greater. This would
give US $32, $40 with which to pay
900, or surplus in two years of
about $4,000. Enough to pay the
current expenses of the county for q
year, a gain of one year in two. With
such showing no one need to fool
his county-scrip away at 60 cents
on the dollar; for by holding on to
it for three or four years it will GER
tainly bring its face with 7 per cent
interest added, and it is a kind of
property that it costs nothing to
keep, as it neither eats nor occupies
house room. Besides by keeping
the scrip off the market you help to
strengthen the credit of the county
and make it easier for it to raise
money to meet it's demands. Any
business mans credit can be de-
stroyed and himself bankrupted by
combination of business men to
discredit his solvency and depreci-
ate his obligations, and there is just
such combination now operating
to destroy public confidence in
the solvency of Alturas county.
This combination will be successful
or otherwise, according as the pub
lie wills. If county warrants are
withheld from sale the interest on
them will accrue to its original
holders, and the ring will be broken
up; but if witnesses, jurors and
others shall persist in selling their
warrants to these parties as fast as
they are issued the usurers will be
strengthened and enriched, the
county's credit destroyed and the
public taxed to pay interest on
debt long after the debt itself should
have been paid.

miner and mine owner, of Park
City, Utah. formerly miner on
Buena Vista Bar, Boise county, was
in town and spent a few days with
old acquaintance in the early part
of the week.
AL Weatherby, who has been out
prospecting on Little Wood river
for the past ten days, returned last
Thursday looking rugged and rough
as if he had been raised in the rocks

Mr.. Fred Phillips, who has been

A Terrible Accident.

A terrible accident which we fea,
will terminate fatally, happened
here last Thursday evening. Dr.
George L. Miller's party of Omaha
had arrived in town at about noon
Of the day and repaired to the Hot
Springs for nights rest, but being
invited to the ball to come off that
night, decided to attend. So about
8 o'clock Mr.. George Metzler dis.
patched couple of carriages to the
Springs to bring them to the ball.
Arriving in front Of the hall at
about 9 o'clock in the evening, after
all of the passengers having alighted
except Miss Briggs, who was being
assisted out by Mr.. Metzler, when
some one on the veranda overhead
tapped on a bass-drum. The
sound of the drum frightened the
team, which sprang forward and
knocked Mr.. Metzler down, the car
riage wheels running over his arm
and head, and of course his hold
on the reins was broken and the
afrighted team ran away with Miss
Briggs in the carriage. Had the
lady retained her presence of mind
and remained in the carriage all
would have been we'll, and no injury
done to any except Mr.. Metzler,
whose hurts, fortunately, are not
serious. But being frightened, and
not knowing or thinking what it
was best to do, she did the worst
thing she could have done, and
when the team had gotten to a point
opposite Greenhow & Rumsey's
store, she jumped out of the flying
carriage, lighting directly on the
top of her head on the hard street.
The effect of the fall was to produce
conclusion of the brain. Vomiting
of blood succeeded, which symp-
tom led DR.. Brown, who was called
from HALEY to attend the injured
woman, to fear internal injuries.
Miss Briggs was Immediately car
ried into Frank Stones drugstore
where our people, one and ALL with
that kindness of heart for which
they are distinguished, did all they
could to assist her friends in max
ing her comfortable and rendering
any relief possible; but when morn
ing came and she was carried to
the depot and put aboard of their
car-Dr. Miller having telegraphed
to Shoshone for an engine-her con-
dition was extremely precarious.
She, however, had become partially
conscious, and there seemed pos
sibility of her recovery. The engine
arrived at II o'clock Friday morn
ing and the company, consisting of
DR.. Geo. L. Miller, Miss Briggs, H.
F. Ruger and Irma Morley of Oma-
ha, and Mrs. Brinkley of Baltimore,
took their departure at once for
Omaha. In this connection it is
proper to state that no blame at
taches, or can attach, to Mr.. Metz
Ter for this deplorable accident. It
was wholly unavoidable, and so re-
garded by DR.. Miller and his party.

The CALICO BALL given at this
place on Thursday night last was
largely attended, all of the young
folks and many of the Older ones
being present, and all agree that the
dance was one of the most pleasant
and enjoyable ever had at Ketchum.
Metropolitan Hall was so full that
any greater number would have de-
tracted from both the comfort and
enjoyment of the occasion. The
music was furnished by Murray,
Messerly and Runyan, names which
are always warrant and q guaran-
tee Of a musical treat, and the gay
throng continued to ''chase the
glowing hours with flying feet" UNI
til daylight peeped over the eastern
hills to warn them that the night
and its pleasures were done, and
another day claimed their attention
and duties, when the music ceased
and the happy assemblage dispersed
to their homes, some to sleep and
others to toll, but all happy and
delighted over the nights enjoy
ments. The ball was socially and
financially a success. The receipts
were $67.6O.

WE believe it is unusual for
democratic newspaper to appear as
the defender of republican county
officials; but the time has come
when the public veal appears to
call for such a defense on the part
of the KEYSTONE, and we have,
therefore, determined to make it, as
an act of justice and as means of
promoting the interests of the tax
payers-republican as we'll as dem
ocratic. Having made some inquiry
into public expenditures and the
reasons for them, we fail to see
wherein extravaganza is being in
dulged, except, perhaps, in the pay
ment of $1,000 to an attorney to
advise the commissioners. This we
are satisfied (and we think we speak
without prejudice or bias) is more
than fair compensation for the
services rendered. We do not assert
that this is the only extravaganza
being INDUCED by the county, but
only that it is the only one to which
our attention has as yet been called.
AS to the charge made some weeks
ago that public money had been ap-
propriated to pay lobbyists for
working the Alta-Lincoln bill
through the late legislature, it is
groundless. No such appropriation,
as we are informed and believe, was
made, or promised to be made, or
will be made. Neither has any
public money been paid to any per-
son for any such purpose.
