Stanton Hits Back.
81 wish to say to the court said the
clerk, that if this is passed I shall
decline TO do this work. You are set-
ting it done now cheaper than ever

This statement caused a slight SEN
sation on the part of the members. All
save Christopherson were greatly in
terested. Il can do this work and
charge it to the county and collect for
it" said the Judge. This court has no
right to interfere with my business as
probate judge and the law makes it
mandatory on the part of the county
to see to it that l am paid for my
work.

Geddes and Roberts declared that it
was on the opinion of the attorney
they took this action.
"What?" said McNally.
We do this at the suggestion of the

This was a little too warm for Ged-

Christopherson wanted to consult
with the attorney before taking a
vote. Christopherson has a backbone
