BELv1Ew, Mimi, FEB. 26, 1894.
To THE EDITOR: Taxpayers in this
vicinity have watched your course in
the county attorney matter with al
most unanimous approval, believing
that the commissioners not only have
no legal right to go outside of the
county for an attorney, but have no
right to insult every citizen of this
county by appointing a nonresident.
But they have far more interest
ing case for the commissioners to con-
slider. There lies in the railroad yards
at this place 5000 feet of lumber which
was ordered for the repairing of the
Belview bridge across the Minnesota
river, in common with a large amount
of other lumber. It is laying in the
yards floating in pool of water, rot
ting, and exposed to the depredations
of the midnight prowler. Itlays there
as monument to the fine figuring of
the commissioners who came within
10000 feet of guessing oyer the
amount of lumber required, all of
which they have paid for. It is slow
ly disappearing, about 1900 feet hav-
ing already faded away, and the coun-
ty is receiving no pay from the per-
sons taking it away. Two sons of Com
missioner Arnold were seen to haul
off load towards the south one day
last week, and it is rumored that the
commissioners know where the re-
mainder is going. Can it be possible
that our commissioners are openly
carrying on this plundering of the
people, or are they contemplating re-
fusing their salaries in order to pay
for the lumber? TIE QUEsT1oNER.

CHAPTER VII.

A new May morning was breaking,
its faint rosy light warming the crests
of the Santa Maria, when Lieutenant
Drummond signaled 'halt" to his lit
tie band, the first halt since leaving
Moreno's at 2 80. Down in a rocky
canyon a number of hoof prints on the
trail diverged to the left and followed
an abrupt descent, while the wagons
had kept to the right and by winding
and more gradual road seemed to have
sought a crossing farther to the west.
It was easy to divine that, with such
elements in the gang, there had been no
long separation between the horsemen
and the treasure they were guarding,
and, eager as he was to overtake the
renegades, Drummond promptly decided
to follow the hoof tracks, rightly con-
occurring, too, that they would bring
him to water in the rocky tanks below.
Dismounting and tleading his big
sorrel, he sprang lightly from ledge to
ledge down what seemed a mere goat
trail. each man in succession dismount-
ing at the same point, ana with more
or less elasticity coming on in the foot
steps of his leader. The faint wan light
of early dawn was rendering neighbor.
