Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1896-05-04

The commissioners, in defending them
selves against the charge of reckless use
of money and the attempt to surcharge
them with $4,000, make the defense
that when County Controller Reese was
in Office he consulted the commissioners,
and they told him to go ahead and hire
detective and put him to work. The
commissioners did not know whom he
had employed until his office was declar-
ed illegal, when he handed over the re-
ports to them. He had employed the
Barring detective agency. So when the
court instructed the grand jury and they
recommended that detectives be en-
ployed to stop the carnival of crime
which was then going on in this county,
they re-employed the agency.
The commissioners claim that the
court, after the trial of Hendricks, said
no matter how much money had been
expended, it had brought forth the re-
suits of breaking up and putting away
one of the most desperate gangs that
ever operated in this vicinity. The
commissioners say further that this and
other results of the employment of de-
tectiyes justify the expenditure of the
money sought to be surcharged against

WERE PAID TOO MUCH.
TAXPAYERS PROTEST AGAINST THE
AMOUNT GIVEN DETECTIVES,

| commissioners Placed on the Witness
Stand at ii Hearing b. :ore the County
| AuditOrs-May To Surcharged with
Som, Money spent for Murder Cases.
The inquiry into the methods by which
| the county commissioners have paid
large amounts of money to detectives
has been commenced before the county
auditors. p. Z. Norton, one of the com
misSioners, told of the negotiations be-
tween the commissioners and the Barring
detective agency whereby they were
employed on the mountain murder case
in pursuance of Il contract dated Deccm-
Der, 1894, and under which they were
paid about So 900, but made no arrests
in the case.
Commissioner Smith testified as to
the contract for detective work. The
agency had been paid in all about S25 900
out of which the agency paid all the wit
ness fees and the court expenses. When
Attorney Palmer asked the direct ques-
yion whether Mr.. Smith received any
money, he answered quickley and posi-
lively that he never received cent.
Commissioner Dulard told of signing
the contract, which was dated 1891, but
was not signed until January, 1856.
Fhe contract being shown, Mr.. Duliard
vas asked il it was ended. He said for
the present it was. Mr.. pullard said he
never had received nor expected to re.
ceive any money from the detective
agency.
Mr.. Palmer was very anxious to find
out how much money was paid to the
agency in the mountain murder case
and wanted to know why the commits
Sioners paid two detective bureaus to do
bhe same work. The commissioners
claim that they never made any contract
with Detectives Quigley and O'Brien,
who arrested and convicted the guilty
men. They went to work on their own
responsibility. Palmer said the point
he wanted to get at was whether the
detective agency and the private detec-
liYeS were paid for the same work.
Commissioner Smith said he did not
sign the contract until December, 1895,
year after it was made. The commits
sioners said they did not know exactly
how much the Barring agency got for
the mountain murder case.
The intention in having the investiga-
ton made is to surcharge the commits
sioners with all money improperly spent
in the late murder cases.
The case was then adjourned until
Wednesday and some sensational de-
velopments are expected.

rae LATEST FROM NICK ERsoN

NICKERsoN, KAYs., May 10th, 1896.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Miss Melissa Sparks says: "The glad
news that some suffering friend may take
new courage by reading what l have to
say about my own case is all that ask
in making this statement public. For
more than twenty years l have suffered
untold pain and misery in my face,
head and arms, could not eat or get my
teeth apart the pain was so great. Ihave
employed good physicians, all of no
avail. Then used every patent medi-
cine that I could hear of, recommended
by all of my friends and neighbors as a
sure cure for rheumatism and neuralgia
kept getting worse until April lst when
l went to the Magnetic Healer, DIR.
Cropsey at Hutchinson, Kansas. In a
little over one months treatment can
truly say that I am free from al pam
and suffering, rest well at night and sleep
as | used to do.
l am happy once more, all through the
goodness of the Lord and DR.. Cropsey.
Should any invalid doubt this statement,
they can write me enclosing a two cent
stamp, and l will gladly answer. DR..
Cropsey gave me no medicine of any

the present system of railroad manage.
mcnt the new roads which might be
built to the gulf would like other roads
fix freight rates at what the traffic will
bear, and bond and stock themselves
till the interest and dividends will eat
up all the profits. What the traffic
will bear" in this case would mean, if
the roads are really operated by west
ern capital and not by the same that
operates the eastern lines as at present,
that the tariffs would be set just enough
below the present rates to the New
York harbor, so that they could get the
hauling. This might precipitate a rate
war with the eastern lines but as is
always the case it would be of short
duration would soon be arranged in
such ways as would bring most profits
to all concerned.

EAST AND WEST.

But few years ago the West was an
uubrOken wilderness. 1t required
great energy, perseverance and self
denial to develop it. Its settlement
and civilization were accomplished
amid scenes of indescribable danger,
pTivation and trial. The early western
settler was a hero. He took the lives
of his family and his own life in his
hands and vent among rowing bands
of savages and, by singular self.denial
and indomitable energy, established
home and laid the foundation of the
marvellous civilization that followed.
Having faithfully and conscientiously
performed this prodigious work, and
having opened the way TO profitable
investment of large sums of eastern
capital, he naturally had a right to
think that at least in all natiOna! af-
fairs he would be treated on terms of
equality with his eastern brethren.
Much Of the development of the West
is due, doubtless, to large use of east
ern capital; eastern and foreign money
has largely aided in the construction Of
our railways and materially assisted in
opening our mines and farms. 1t has
likewise been instrumental, in some
measure, in building our towns and
cities, and in these respects we are the
debtors of the East. But it should be
remembered that the obligation is not
entirely onesided. The West thus af-
fOrded an enlarged opportunity for
eastern enterprise and capital, and
large and secure returns on invest.
ments that could not otherwise have
been made; and we have, in fact, of.
fered very fruitful field which the
East has cultivated with great profit to
itself. The opening of western farms
and mines, under proper industrial
ard commercial conditions, would be
source of great wealth to those who
own them and would enable the West
to contribute largely to the aggregate
national wealth, and would be produc-
tive of a prosperity that has hitherto
been unknown, if eastern greed can
be held in check long enough to &C.
cOmplish the WORK.
A sentiment exists in the West that
it is the purpose of eastern money
lOaners and capitalists to drain our in.
dustries of their profits 10y unfriepdly
legislation, and that they do not in
tend to permit an enlarged volume OF
money, and that by this and like
means it is their purpose to increase
the national debt and issue interest
bearing bonds that will rest as a blan
ket-mortgage on the entire country
and our people believe that, by the
time these bonds mature, the West
will be compelled to furnish the larger
part of the money for their payment
We feel that, through the operation o.
a shrinking volume of money, which
has been caused by eastern votes ant
influences for purely selfish purposes
the East has placed its hands on TIT
