SourH BEND. Feb. 9.-County Attorney
Egbert and Prof. Hudson were arrested
this morning on warrants sworn out be-
fore Justice Griswold. Of Oystervlle,
charging them with aiding and abetting
in the forcible entry into the
auditors Office last Sunday by the
county seat removal party from
South Bend and taking therefrom the
property of the county without legal au-
thority. They left this morning for Oys-
terville, where they will waive examina-
ton and be bound over. The Oyster
vile plan is supposed to be to place the
bonds so high that the accused will be
unable to give them. To avoid, this citi-
Gems who can furnish $100, 900 in bonds, if
necessary, accompanied them. A South
Bend constable also goes around with a
warrant for the arrest of Auditor Barney.
The complaint in this case is for assault
ing Prof. Hudson with deadly weapon,
chair leg, on Sunday last. This will be
served if unreasonable bonds are required
Of Egbert and Hudson.
SOUTH BEND, Feb. 9-TSpecial. ID. G.
Nalarkey, a special constable, came over
from Oystervile with warrant issued by
Justice A. s. Guswald for the arrest of
John Hudson, the taxIdermist of the
Worlds fair commission Of the state, and
Who was one of the party of citizens that
vent to Oysterviile on Sunday and trans
ported all of the county records except
those of the auditors, which were in q
vault. The warrant was issued on a COM
plant made by Phil ID. Barney that Hud-
son broke into his Office and took articles
thereirom without his consent. Hudson
happened to be out of town hunting for
specimens. but ON his returnh is will be
made a test case.
TWAS expected that the new board Of
county commissioners would hold their
FIRST meeting in South Bend today. but two
OF the commissioners who sympathize
with Oysterville formally met at Oyster
vile this morning. Auditor Barney is ex-
pected here tomorrow, and if he attempts
10 remove the belongings of his office
back to BASKERVILLE there may be serious
trouble. Feeling is running high on the
county seat question. Many censure the
county seat removal party for not having
effected an entrance to the vault and
OF the conservative course followed by the
party. The former say that the party,
having burst in the door to the auditors
office, would not have laid themselves any
less liable to arrest than had they
broken into the vault.
South Bend parties, it is alleged, threaten
Auditor Barney with suits for damages
