MUCH CRY, But
LITTLE WOOL.

torney, but not such a figure as they
have charged u.s."
But" said McNally. You have
given them no chance to make an eX-
PLANTATION. You denied Hayken the
right to testify here before and he
had to force himself upon the stand.
You have given the old county court
no chance to be heard in explanation
of how the contract was made"
Roberts spoke up at this point and
said: Il notice one member OF the old
county court is present. | would IKE
to hear from Mr.. Norris.
Mr.. Morris Declares Himself.
YOU will hear from me all. in good
time sir was the sharp retort.
McNally resumed: You have given
this man Hayken very short notice
at any rate. 1t is mighty short. He
cannot be expected to give up inn
portant business and dance attendance
1pon us here at any time we are OF
the mind to call him. What do we
gain by passing this resolution at this
timer
on record. We do this in the inter-
ests of the county.
Yes" retorted McNally, but what
good does that do? We have no evil
dence whatever of collision or fraud
7 for one will vote to blast no mans
character without evidence to salts
fv myself that I am right. What
will YOU do with the resolution?
A Novel Proceeding.
Then ensued a remarkable scene.
Most bodies when a question IS pre-
scented for debate, require its members
IN arise to their feet, address the chair
- In
with the selectmen. They sat ana
looked at each other for four minutes
nv the watch and then their heads and
the head of the attorney met over the
table in a whispered consultation, TOO
indistinct to be correctly heard, al
though Roberts suggested the elimlna-
ton of certain words. 1t VIII an
swer the purpose just as We'll, SAID
he land prevent the balance was
lost. Noting a reporter edglng up TO
thar, 70 catch what was going on, the
man from Bingham and the man from
the Third herded themselves III an
other part of the room where they
we're Joined by the gentlmen from
Farmers ward.
Finallv some sort of an agreement
was reached and the ''rainmakers
came back.
Geddes was the first to speak. cit is a
most remarkable thing ne declared,
chat this contract was made In May
and was not filed with the clerk of
the county until December"
'sThat is where you are mistaken,
sir.' said Morris. ''This contract was
filed or the 7th day of May, 1894. 1t
was filed on March 81 the first time
There are two filings
Nothing in the Resolution.
I'm Justice to the court" continued
MONEY!, 1.-The witness should be sub
poenaed. After a hearing on both
sides we might come to SoTe conciu-
sion. This resolution amounts to
nothing. There is way OF DONG
business and it should be done right.
The grand jury of this county Is &C
cessible at all times and II fraud has
been committed there is away TO pun
ish it. There has been no effort to
bring this matter up anywhere save
here" Continuing, the judge said, Il
repeat with emphasis, l Will not vote
to brand any mans character without
a scintilla of evidence TO support the
allegat tons made"
Another prolonged silence fell 1t
was evident that all the Selectmen
wished they could go into caucus on
the matter secure from the public eye
and safe from the reportorial ear.
Finally Geddes spoke and said:
81 move the adoption OF the resolu-
tion.'
Roberts and Geddes held little eau
Gus of their own lasting three minutes
AMI then the former mildly reUla rx:u'
1T second the motion"
