FLIRTING; WITH THE INDErENDEAg
That's WAY the Board of County Com
ihiasioner' xAntagonizrd Sheriff
Wilson
Rumor has it that the re!;, t:ons be-
tween our comfy board and Sheriff
Wilson are strained. Among other evil
denccs OF this surmise is the following
resolution passed last Il 9onday:
Resolved that from and after this date
the county commissioners will allow no

with a copy of the resolution.
A UNION reporter, seeing the much
abused sheriff, talking with Wm. Gram
berg, cautiously stole up to him and IN
a sympathsing tone invited Mr.. Wilson
to unbosom himself, which he did, with
much feeling and perturbation. idr.
| Gramberg, parenthetically remarked
that some republicans considered the
sheriff politically false aud the county
board, which is entirely made up of.re-
pubicans, was the only channel left
through which the party could strike at
that officer.

Mr.. Sheriff and rumor has it that
that august body seeks your res,snat ton"
submissively ventured the scribe.

you just bet your sweet life, | won't re-
sign although could make more money
at selling peanuts than under the pres
ent administration. 1t is absurd to
keep back from me transportation for
prisoners sentenced to Jail in a justice
court either by a straight sentence or
through failure to get bail and this is
just what the board is dong. They are
buckng me and l don't now why and
don't care cent, but it is not fair to
make me pay twenty y-five or fifty dollars
out OF my own pocket, for the transpor-
tatlon OF prisoners from Hill City tc
Rapid City and because OF the action o
the board in this matter | have revoke
the commission OF my deputy in Hill
City and advised the stage drivers that

headed ignoramus Ray Smith, the most
: ever sat on the board, is doing the dirty
, work for would-be party leader. III

now and you bet your sweet lie dom
care q cent for them. All previous
boards conceded that the sheriff had {
fright to these fees, hut Attorney Brow
rules differently now. Yes sir | have
employed Ed Smith to test this ques

"Thati is more OF their meaness,. N

is very vague on the question, still wi
