NO KICK COMING.
grand larceny

Last spring when the fixtures that be-
longed to Lincoln county were in Belle
vue. and our county commissioners were
endeavoring to secure them, and there
we're also pending some important legal
questions as against this county. The
commissioners, as a protection to the
taxpayers of this county, and to guard
against any legal surprise that might be
sprung by Blaine county, held an open
session for 20 days, and was adjourned
from day to day by Thomas Fay as
chairman pro tenn, on the grounds of no
quorum present. Monday morning last
D. P. Johnson, one OF the largest tax
payers in the county, entered the COM
missioners room while they were in ses-
sion, to register a great big, wonderfully
wicked kick, that would show the pres
ent board up in bad light, and forever
relegate them to official oblivion and
the disrespect of the people OF the coun-
ty. Mr.. Johnson claimed it was worse
than highway robbery of the people of
this county to hold that 20 day session,
and that it was done, only that the COM
missioners might draw their per diem,
and fitch money from the treasury, His
roar completed, and he out of wind, he
was shown the records, where he dis
covered that these unholy, and money
graspIng officials had drawn out just
$50 tor that 20 days work-and several
days of that time was spent in Bellevue,
and that Thomas Fay never drew
single days pay or cent of mileage for
opening and adjourning the board dur
ing that 20 days session. After this in
vestigation his feathers dropped and he
said: ats all right, I've got no kick
coming" Now if Mr.. Johnson will look
further into the actions of the treasurer,
clerk, assessor and commissioners he !
will find that they are in line with the |
result OF his other imaginary kick. Let |
him look further he will find when the |
safes, cage and other fixtures were Sc
cured, that storage for them in Bellevue |
had to be paid, as well as the freight OH
them to this point. That there was no
money in the treasury. that it had to be
paid in cash, and that A. S. Senter adj
ganced the money; without interest, and
paid the freight, and storage, which
amounted to several hundred dollars.
We would ask Mr.. johnson if he would
nave done as much, or if some of his pet
who have plenty of money,
would have done it? We can look for
N answer in the wind. When the peo-
lie of any county have officers who have
their duties in the manner
hat Fay, Fuller, Vader, Senter, Wer-
Iicke and Gooding, they may we'll feel
'roud-in place of laying awake nights.
nd barking at the moon. The records
+ the doings of the commissioners are
pen for any and all to investigate and
! is upon those records that we advocate
he reelection OF James Fuller and
'homas Fay.

Policeman.

Prisoner Makes Charges Against a
Policeman.
Mrs. Mary Menier, elderly woman liv-
ing in Southeast Washington, was TODAY
tried before Judge Kimball in the Police
Court on the charge of vagrancy. Louis
Menier, husband of the accused woman,
was summoned as a witness against his
wife, but Judge Kimhall refused to allow
him to testify, saying that to do SO would
be Illegal
w. L. Griffith testified that Mrs Menier
was so frequently under the influence of
liquor as TO make her husbands life a bur-
den, and stated that she misused him in
various ways.
Mrs. Menier was permitted to make a
statement. She told Judge Kimball that it
was true she sometimes drank liquor, but
that her husband bought it for her, and she
was not an habitual drunkard, as had been
alleged against her.
She pleaded hard to be released. Judge
kimball asked her If she used opium, and
told her that the extreme pallor of her
face indicated that she was addicted to the
use of drug of some kind.
Mrs. Menier ass ured Judge kimball that
he was in error as to this, and again told
him that II ne would let her go she would
take an oath not to drink any LIQUOR for
one year, SO after giving her some whole
some advice and requiring her to come and
see him in a month he told her she might
go.

to enable other witnesses to be sum
moned.
Strothers after being sworn said that he
was not crap shooter, and that he was
arrested by Officer Thompson simnIy he
cause he walked away from the officer
after the latter had called to him. and thai
ne mad done this because he was not aware
that Mr. Thompson had any business viii h
him. wan
Further than this, Strothers said Officer
Thompson called at the formers cell when
he was locked up in the fifth precinct YES
terday and told him that If he (Strothers)
would plead guilty of the charge the officer
would ask the judge to be easy on him.
Officer Thompson said that he did NOT like
TO rest under the imputation that he had
given incorrect evidence in court or to
have the Judge believe that Strothers'
charges were true. Two small colored bows
who were locked UP in the cell with Stroth-
ers, testified that they saw Mr.. Thompson
in conversation with Strothers, but did not
hear what was said.
After listening patiently to the case for a.
considerable period, Judge Kimball directed
that Officer Thompson should come to court
witnesses as he may have in the case, and
that such witnesses as Strothers may wish
to appear in his behalf be summoned by the
nroner court officers,

tramped over for 40 years and not
worked because they did not know
how to save the gold. and this has been
the drawback in Wyoming. Instead
