NO SALARY FOR son CHARLIE.
Heaton Adds One More To the Sorrows
of Treasurer Maple.

of Treasurer Maple.
The angel OF peace has not spread It's
wings over the county treasurer's office
and that OF the county commissioners. and
consequently the fight over the deputies
still goes merrily on. Yesterday Treasurer
Maple came TO the conclusion that he had
some rights and intended to run his own
office. while Commissioner Heaton stIll
maintained that the commissioners were
lords of the situation. The sum and sub
stance Of the matter was that when the
commissioners found that Maple had en-
ployed thirteen instead OF twelve clerks
for July, .Heaton commenced investigat-
Ing. He found out that the thirteenth man
who was down on the pay roll for $50 was
Mr. Naples son Charles.
Mr.. Maple thought IL was necessary to
have such services, and Mr.. Heaton
thought IL was likewise necessary 20 have
the permission OF tho commissioners. The
conflict OF opinion was apparent, but Hea-
ton came out on top by having the COM
missioners approve the county treasurer's
pay roll with the exception OF that item
giving Charles Maple $50.
During the afternoon Mr.. Maple was in
consultation with Prosecuting Attorney
HASTE. but when asked If anything was
going on. replied. with a quiet smile that
would have done credit 10 George Haz-
gard. that all was quiet.

perate resistance. and was not landed I'M
til after a fight lasting ten minutes. when
IL was captured by means of a rowboat
II had been hooked through the nose sew
erai inches I'm front OF the mouth, and II
is thought was attempting 10 swallow the
bait Just as the line was drawn up. The
bay at that point is about forty feet deep.
To the ordinary eye the skate is re-

it's Hippers and its round, pointed tail,
seems a fit inhabitant of the lower regions.
While swimming I'm the water. it looks
like an animated blanket.
