weeks ago the city council advertised that
1t would sell s1s.400 worth of bonds, is
sued for the purpose of funding the in
oeotedness of the city. In response TO the
advertisement number of Eastern and
California financial companies sent their
representatives here on the day the bonds
were TO have been sold. These representa-
tives put in bids. but when the bids were
opened it was found that they were all
ridicuously low-so low, in fact, that
Mayor Ferguson ''smelt mouse" and
advised the council to reject all the bids.
This suggestion was promptly acted upon
by the council and the bonds were not
sold.
Since that time 1t has leaked out that
there was nice little combine" between
all the bidders save one. and that it was
the understanding that all the ''rake-off,'
in the way of commissions, premiums,
etc.. was to be eqally divided between the
gentlemen who had untold millions" at
their backs. Unfortunately for them
selves, their designs were frustrated by
their greed.
1t is also asserted by director of one
of the banks here that an attempt was
made TO do pretty nearly the same thing
by these same representatives when the
county bonds were sold few weeks ago.
That scheme failed owing to the quarrel
which arose among the representatives
over division of the spoils
Today, however, Mayor Ferguson called
special meeting of the city council, and
in less than an hour the funding bonds
had been sold to Seymour. Barto & Co.. of
Tacoma. who had not put in a bid before.
The bonds bear 6 per cent. interest and
brought 95 per cent. of their face value.

Inc corpse OF an Unknown Wan Dis
covered at Marysviile.
SSoHoMIsH, Jan. 20 Especial. - Bad
blood exists between the county coroner,
DR.. s. B. Limerick. and the county COM
missioners. Acting under the advice of
the county attorney, the latter rejected all
of the bills of the coroner in the last four
inquests which he held. The result is that
the coroner refused to go to Marysville in
response to a telegram requesting his
presence and which announced that an
unknown man had been found dead there
with bullet hole in his head and under
circumstances which strongly pointed to
murder.
DIR. Limerick, however, would not hold
the inquest, causing much indignation
among Marysville citizens. He will bring
suit against the county in a few days for
the amount he claims is due him.
Later-At about O'Clock this afternoon
William Turner, of Marysville, accom-
panied by his attorney, went to the Office
of the coroner and filed an information
with that official, setting forth the fact of
the death of an unknown man near Marys-
vile, together with the surrounding cir
cumstances. The coroner was therefore
compelled to go and hold the inquest as
the law expressly provides that the cor
oner "shall' hold an inquest when an
information has been filed with him. He
