The Eugene Guard says: The
findings Of Referee Watson in the
celebrated Sheriff's case were re-
, ceived here by express, and on the
package were the words, &c. 0. D.
$19450." This afternoon the
amount was paid and at 2 o'clock
the papers were filed with the
county clerk. The decision, ETC.,
makes fourteen pages Of closely
type written matter. The referee
says that the sheriff is not entitled
to receive constructive mileage, but
says the proof does not show that
he has. Claims that the sheriff
was not entitled to fees from the
county for collecting delinquent
taxes under the law prior to that
passed by the last Legislature, but
be was entitled to his expenses and
disbursements. Therefore he was
compelled to look to the taxpayers
for the same. Under the laws Of
1898, Watson holds the sheriff is
entitled to fees. In several items
the referee holds the sheriff was
allowed fees in excess Of what
should have been charged, but that
under the pleadings, and the SAME
not having been segregated, he was
unable to tell the amount. Hi
then proceeds to recommend the
dissolving of the injunction. Al
3 o'clock, A. H. Kennedy, one O.
the attorneys for the plaintiffs
gave notice that he would file {
, motion asking that the report o.
the referee be set aside.
