statutory law and decisions of courts.
both state and federal, to bear him out.
There can be no question as to the
meaning of the law on this subject and
if the bonds cannot be defeated it will be
because the court will place an implied
construction on the Iawsof 1879 without
taking into consideration previous laws
not repealed by that law. He also
gave the legal definition Of a bond from
the law itself and quite conclusiyely
showed that the bonds he is fighting
are not bonds in the sense of the law
but worthless paper. Mr.. Ashbaugh
talked to the board nearly two hours
and half and it would take a great deal
of space for us to notice his argument
in detail, but from what he has shown
it is our belief that he will be met with
ultimate success in his undertaking.
Judge Herrick. in opposing MI. Ash
baugh, talked to the board about an
hour but we could not see that he over.
came what had been said by Mr..
Ashbaugh. Judge Herrlck IS an able
lawyer and the fact that he failed to
make stronger showing for his side
of the case is evidence that the law is
against him. The board did not take
any action until Saturday when thew
decided to instruct the county attorney
to communicate with Mr.. Ashbaugh
and ask the latter to set a date on
which he can meet the citizens of Rar
Der county and explain the matter as
he did on Friday. An effort will be
made to have representative taxpayers
from every township in attendance at
this proposed meeting so that the board
can receive an expression of the senti
ment of the people and then act in har.
mony with the will of the people. In
their own minds, after having heard
Messrs. Ashbaugh and Herrick, the
board felt that it would be advisable to
tight the bonds but did not wish to
shoulder the responsibility of such
matter in which SO much is involved.
AT about II O'Clock ON Saturday the
board proceeded to dispose of letting
the county job work and upon inquiry
only one bid was filed, that one
being from NJ. A. Hull, of the Kiowa
Review, and the work was accordingly
awarded to Mr.. Hull at rates specified
in the bid.
The board adjourned at about 2:3O
on Saturday afternoon.

If the Cresset is or was SO anxious
to save about $500 dollars to the tax
payers of Barber county, why IN Sam
Hill did it take the county printing at
legal rates in 1894? That was the year
when Stranathan and Murray. two
staunch republicans, were managing
the business, and if the Cresset was
aching to save the county $500, then
would have been golden opportunity.
Most people believe that Axline is not
built on the charitable plan and when
bis party is in power takes all that is to
be had and big fat postoffice on the
side, and the public records seem to
bear them out IN this conclusion. If
doing the county printing at legal rates
is robbery" what a robber Axllne has
been in his time! He ought to be- in
