The Clerk and Sheriff Salary.
Toledo, Or, Dec. IL, ISot

Editor LEADER
As there has been much talk over
the matter of the salaries of sheriff
and clerk during the past four
months, and as the action of the
county court has been pending for
that period Of time and no decision
had been reached by the county
court, we have RETAINED from dis
cussing the matter, and we do not
now want to enter into a newspaper
discussion over the matter, but as
the Newport News has seen fit to
take the matter up as appears from
the following item from that paper
of date December 9, 1896:
Placing the clerk and sheriff on
salaries will undoubtedly cut off a
goodly portion of the popocratic
LEADERS income. The taxpayers
have been bled long enough keep
ing that thing in existence"
We deem it but justice that the
citizens of the county should hear
both sides of question. Therefore
we shall state the facts as they
appear, and for the information of
the News man as he seems to think
this is a political matter. We will
only add that ever since the crea-
ton of the county Of Lincoln the
county court has been republican
and the present court is all com-
posed of republicans. Therefore,
we cannot see how the News man
can take grounds that a democratic
clerk and populist sheriff can be
held to support a populist paper
as he terms the LEADER as the
court get their own printing done;
and we suppose tina: the LEADER is
the official county paper by reason
of its having a larger circulation
than the News. The clerk and
sheriff certainly have the right of
any other citizen to give their
individual support any paper to
whom they please. Again, the
sheriff and clerk do not audit their
own bills, and if they have been
allowed too much fees heretofore it
stands to reason that the county
court is certainly implicated in the
matter, and should bear their burden
Of the News mans spicy item.
Now as to the present trouble
over the salaries. The law Great
ing Lincoln county, Section s, reads
as follows:
""The sheriff and clerk of said
county shall receive the same fees
as are now allowed by law to the
sheriff and clerk Of Benton county,"
At that time the sheriff and clerk
Of Benton county were working
under the fee system. Therefore,
the sheriff and clerk Of Lincoln
county commenced and continued
to work under the fee system, being
allowed by the court the same fees
as the clerk and sheriff of Benton
county received for like services.
During the last session of the legis-
lature, when the sheriff and clerks
salaries could have been fixed,
Hon. ]. D. DAILY, joint representa-
tive of Benton and Lincoln counties,
having his attention called to this
matter, called upon the sheriff and
clerk and also talked with many Of
the taxpayers of Lincoln county,
and they all agreed that the best
interests of the county would be
served if the clerk and sheriff were
allowed to remain upon the fee
system. And the county court of
Lincoln county in open court direct
ed the clerk to write to Mr.. Daily,
and they officially signed the letter,
asking Mr.. Daily to only change the
salaries of the county judge and

cution to prove the materiality of the al
legged false testimony. The point was that
Lawn testified that he had seen George
Vanderkarr at the house of Dick Wander
karr on the l lth day of June last. One
Ruiz had testified that on that day George
Vanderkarr and Mace Mayes, accused of
grand larceny. were seen by him leading q
steer belonging to Perry Neely in the vi
cinity of Elizabeth lake, eighty miles from
where Lawn says he saw him on the same
day.
If this testimony of Lawns was true, 1t
impeached Ruiz and II was upon the tessi-
mony of Ruiz, his wife and daughter.
who testified to the same effect, that
the case against Mayes rested, In the case
OF Lawn, the prosecution proved that
Mayes and George Vandekarr were seen
leading the COW in the vicinity of Elizabeth
lake, that the COW was butchered by them
and that it belonged to Perry Neely. The
prosecution did not show that the cow
which the two men led was stolen from
Perry Neely, Or that Neely had lost COW.
The court holds that proof of this was
necessary in order to fix the materiality of
the statement of Lawn, which was proven
to have been false. The presence of
George Vandelxarr at Elizabeth lake, to have
been material. must have bsen connected
with the crime of Mayes, and in order to
effect that, the crime of Mayes must have
been shown. 1t was not, and for that
reason the new trial Is granted.

Mr.. Williams was almost insulting in his
deneanor, but the court passed over the
matter. Mr.. Williams took exceptions to
one of the instructions allowed by the
Judge, and was quite personal in his re-
marks. The case finally went to the jury,
and despite the instructions of the court a
verdict of guilty was returned. Counsel
for the defense moved for q new trial,
which motion was argued at some length.
As he was leaving the bench Judge
Smith intimated that, in his opin-
ion. the state had failed to
grant the motion. lie then called his short
hand reporter and retired to his chambers
to have some portions of the testimony
read over to him on which his memory was
not clear, before finally giving his opinion.
/, No sooner was the door closed upon the
judge than Mr.. Williams launched out in a
torrent of personal abuse against the court.
The language used is unfit for publication,
but for ten or fifteen Ininu'es the public
! prosecutor kept up his wild talk. he was
very angry and appeared to be greatly en-
cited, depOuncing tho court in unmeasured
terms. There were perhaps twenty-five
persons in the court room, among the num-
Der being several jurymen and attorneys,
besides the regular officers OF the court, all
of whom heard the offensive language.
Some one conveyed the Information to
Judge Smith OF how he had been abused,
and the action taken yesterday followed.
WHAT GEN. WILLIAMS SAYS
Gen. Williams was seen by a HERALD
reporter in his office shortly after the Incl.
dent occurred. The assistant district at
torney had recovered his usual equanimity
and seemed to realize that he had made IA
grave mistake. Gen. Williams said that it
would not be proper for him to go into
discussion of the matter pending the final
decision of the judge. He said that he re-
GREETED having said what he did, but he WAS
smarling at the time under what he con-
sidered a personal remark addressed to
him by Judge Smith, and which he con-
strued as rejecting OH his management of
the case. He lost his temper. and IN his
anger had doubtless said many things that
he shonld not have done. He did not think
that Judge Smith had jurisdiction in the
case, as no affidavit had been filed against
him. and the language uttered had not been
heard by the court. This being 81. he did
not think that any action could be taken.
Gen. Williams was very severe upon the
person or persons who conveyed the in
formation to Judge Smith, and expressed
his opinion on the matter in anything but
complimentary terms.

tanned Henry Il. Gage. Esq, who is prepar-
ing his answer, and will represent him be.

made by specialists; that these gentlemen are,

carefully trained, more persistent, ind ustrious

general practitioner. The true Specialist
chooses for himself life which involves hard
work, the strife of active competition and late
rewards In our time, more and more, every.
where classification or division of labor is q

HIGHLY EXCITING EPISODE
The Assistant District Attorney Taken
Completely by Surprise
Abusive Language Used by the Attorney in
Reference to the Court the Cause
Of This Action

There was highly sensational incident
in department one of the superior court
yesterday morning, and when the atmos-
phere cleared up Assistant District Attor-
ney Williams realized that he had run up
against the strong arm of the law with dis
astrous results to himself.
There was nothing in Judge Smiths ap-
pearance to indicate that anything out of
the usual run was on the tapis as his
honor came out of his chambers and took
his seat on the bench. General Williams
was sitting at the table with the rest of the
attorneys in attendance, apparently sus-
pecting nothing and chatting with those
nearest to him.
As Judge Smith took his seat he looked
over in the direction of General Williams
and pleasantly remarked: "Before we
proceed to take up the morning calendar,
there is a matter that must take notice
of. suppose you are here, Mr.. Williams
to proceed with the business of the court?
Gen. Williams replied that he was, when
Judge Smith, glancing first at the short
hand reporter and then at his clerk, looked
directly at Gen. Williams and said:
"Mr. reporter, want you to take down

make what say a matter of record:

ment in the case. and failed to recollect
any testimony in which you had proven in
that case, the materiality of the alleged
false statements; but for the purpose of
determining the facts positively desire to
have the shorthand reporter of this court

I would 60 into my chambers

sideration. left the bench here, took my
shorthand reporter and stepped into my
chambers for that purpose. had Ao
sooner closed the door than you became
furious with anger and with rage, and in
a loud tone of voice you commenced be-
rating and denouncing the court. You ap-
piled to the court most opprobrious epi-
thets; you indulged in obscene language,
too obscene to be put even upon the record
of this court, or to be mentioned or named;
you INDUCED in very gross profanity and
you hurled many epithets against the
