Tombstone epitaph., 1894-10-28

| more about law than a hog does o heaven, they woalj hate, 10 use tht expression of one of their own mem bers. ''the county sack at their com mand."
 How we'll the plans carried, all citi zens well remember. The program was carriel out to the letter. Reilly was chosen a supervisor by McAllistel of Los Angeles, and Monmonier. Me Allister resigned, after voting with Reilly 10 place Bryan in office as supervisor.
 Monmonier proved pliable. Reilly told him what to do and he did it. He ordered an armed body of men to take possession of the supervisors room, and their threats of "bloe dshed unless Bryan was chosen supervisor would have been carried out had not Sheriff White with commendable for bearance awaited Judge Sloan's return from the east 10 set the matter right, and rebuke the actions of an inferior court. which had no jurisdiction in the matter.
 Judge Sloan came, and the first day he delivered an opinion from the bench that the supervisors, Perkins and Nichols. constituted the only board, and that they must sit until the case pending in the supreme court was determined. When this de- cision came from the supreme court it simnly said that Mir. Perkins and MT. Nichols must recognize Mir. Me Allister. MT. McAllister being in Los Angeles, and having resigned, never came back to receive recognition. . Judge Rouse gave written opinion in which he said that the board erred in declaring the office vacant on the ground of McAllister's fneligibility but had nothing to say about his res igna,lon, as this question had not been brought before the court.
 During Reilly's and Bryan's reign let us see what they did to prove themselves conspirators: They first employed Reilly to act as an attorney for the board, and in less than 2 month he had bill for over S200 for giving advice to himself. He made an arrangement with L. Graf to put a bridge across the San Pedro river at a cost of Sl 900, and MT. Graf went so far ss 10 go to an expense Of SG5 for sundries to begin work with, and nev- CT got his money. No record is on the minutes in relation this private snap way of doing. The board then psld its members sl64 each. They then proceeded to cut down all bill- of county officers over one-half with. out regard to tine legality of the char ges.
 They raised all the bonds o! county offices who had not stood in with the n until it was impossible to give a bond. The short time that these con. spirstors sat as board of supervisors they arranged to squsnder sn amount of money, that had it been kept up to the present time would have emptied the treasury and placed county demands at discount of jC cents on the dollar.
 This is brief statement of the so- called county muddle, which origin. ated in a conspiracy to defeat the will of the people at the last election, and place in control of the affairs of the county as corrupt and unprincipled a gang of men as ever disgraced any community
 To Scott White the democratic party owes a debt for answering al their bidding, and the people of the county, did they but realize tl, true condition of the controversy as seen at the county seat, would have noth. ing but praise and good words for the man who stood in his own light tc protect their interests in January, 1893.
