GOODBYE COUNTY RECORDS.


retaining the county records here is
putting it very mild indeed. They
honestly believe that the county
seat election was fraudulently con-
Quoted, and expected to win on
that point before an impartial court.
They also believed, and still believe,
that the Mt. Home Board was lille
gally organized and their every act
arbitrary and without sanction of
any law whatever, and our people
intend to fight them in the courts
to the bitter end.
Rocky Bar has recently labored
under many disadvantages. The
telephone line has been in the hands
Of enemies--a state of affairs that
would not be tolerated in many
western communities for moment
the Commissioners had pro-
claimed themselves against us, and
the bar, as a rule, for convenience
only 10 themselves, have thrown
their influence in favor Of Mountain
Home, and last, though not least,
we have had despicable home trait
ors to Contend with. We respect the
people of Mt. Home in their endeav-
ors to win this fight (although the
acts of some have been childish and
dishonorable), but red-hot, sizzling
hell would be too good place for
the two or three traitors to the good
people Of this upper country, to be
banished to. But they will sooner
or later receive their reward from al
outraged community.
