REGARDING carnishees. .
An interesting bill has been intro
duced by Senator Foots which bears
a significance not carried npon it's
face. This bill appropriates $1,000
for Lyman county to re-emburse that
county for tine trial OF Frank Phelps
for the murder OF Matson. one of the
most celebrated cases in ecent years.
Lyman county at the time OF The
murder was unorganIzed and while
o II IS growing ami prosperous it
Is OF course sparca,y settled. 10 inn
pose a tai ofS1 ,0O0upont this county
would be n great hardship upon the
people but the real gist OF the mat.
ter appears to be that Hanson county
conducted the case at a cost TO itself
OF $4,000 and being unable 70 recover
that sum from Lymsan it has intro
duced this bill In order TO place
Lyman in n position to pay. The
bill is being strongly pushed and has
more than a good chance to get
through.
