Taylor cases has been held under advise
mrnt But one thing is certain, the bill of
fees and expenses will be cut down, decreas,
ed, "razeed.' clipped or what ever-you may
call.it, until n distribution much more equit-
able has been accomplished
VERY BAD PRECEDENT
The stupendously outrageous part Of this
whole scheme is that the Commissioners, who
have only been negligent and not robbers, are
not to 20 free along with Taylor aud Beebe,
/ to whose fingers the gold sticks. No one
charges either Of the three Commissioners
with getting one dollar of the large amount
paid out for the court house unless we except
! 500 paid to one Of them as present. Grim
inally negligent and atrociously incompetent
they were but the real robbers were Taylor
and Beebe who have no afiiliation with any
one here, either by consanguihity or through
busine,s MIR. Schalck and his auditOrial
staff proposes to let them 60 free and to make
scapegoats out of the three men who are our
fellow citizens, who have been reared among
u, and who have many interests in common
with many Of our best people, ] say it Is
piece of business which the court should sit
down ON with all the force of lis judicial
pondcrositv aud not set a precedent that will
stalk forward in the forward in the future
like Banguo's ghost, oflener than it is expect
ed. Taylor aud Bcebe should have been put
ON trial aud convicted. They are not entitled
TO any more leuiency from the court, because
they can pay back one. bird Of their pluuder
than the poor man who steals loaf Of bread
to feed his starving children.

The interest taken in the HERALD's
World Fair contest, south of the mountain,
bids fair to send two of the tairest of your
girls to the windy city. This is not all blow,
either, it is a fair and fortunate fact as the
votes will demonstrate.

The rush to Gift" licenses continues
great Many of the first to pay up and take

/. In reference to the mention of the Newlin
offer to settle for $500, as made above by our
correspondent, it is but just to say that the
County Commissioners have denied that any
such offer was made in their presence. They
say that the only offer of settlement made to
them by Newlin was made on Saturday last
at the Commissioners office, when Charles L
Breckons, one of the Newlin attorneys, made
an offer to accept 81, 500 in full settlement Of
hisnlients claim. The overtures Of the at
torney were looked upon by Commissioners
Bowes and DeTurk as 'feeler" to know
how they lthe Commissioners considered the
ca e, and therefore they passed it Off without
giving it any serious consideration, believing
the offer was not made seriously.-ED.l
