of Bedford appeared before the county
commissioners Thursday last to ask an
appropriation of 81, 800 to aid in the con-

to the bridge across the Missouri near

carefully, the commissioners offered to
appropriate $500 but the offer was not
/ excepted. The present road is long
and roundabout. The desire is now to
construct a road directly up the Indian
creek. But such road would for some
distance require considerable excava-

! great advantage to the mine owners
and prospectors at Hassel and in the
Park above that place.
