ing of the body of John Kensler,
deceased, c. P. Oliver was called,
sworn and testified.
Upon the consideration of said
evidence in the case, it appears that
J. G. Rogers, as district attorney,
had requested said sheriff to en-
ploy men to find the body Of said
John Kensler; that said sheriff, in
compliance Herewith, employed
several men, who, after extensive
search, failed to find the body;
whereupon the sheriff discharged
the men and offered reward of
fifty dollars ($50,00) for the recov-
cry of the body; that thereafter the
body was found and the party find
ing the body claimed the reward of
the said sheriff, which he paid. as
per receipt attached to his said bill.
1t is ordered that the same be dis
allowed for the reason that the
same is not a proper charge against
said county.
In the matter of the Board act
ing on the following claims, to-wit:
R. T. Furguson, ]. H. Morrow ,Chas
Brady, J. w. Latty, ]. ]. McGin-
ness, II. G. Tingley, S. A. Nc
Annuity, Charles E. Corker and
Leonard Zentz, the Board I'M
derstood, upon evidence before it,
that the district attorney had re-
quested the sheriff, c. P. Oliver, to
employ men to search for the body
of John Kensler, and that he en-
ployed the above persons to do said
work and that the work was done
by them as per their bills, and dis
allowed for the reason that they are
not proper charges against Gilmore
county; that if they were proper
charges the Board would allow a
reasonable sum-
The case of J. d. Helfrich, ex-
assessor and tax collector of El,
more county, against the Board Of
County Commissioners, was at this
time taken up for consideration, and
the Board being fully advised in the
premises, are of the opinion that il
is to the best interest of the county
that the appeal heretofore taken il
said case from the adverse decision
of the district court, be dismissed
for the following reasons, to-wit:
First--Thirty or more responsible
taxpayers of this county being
bondsmen for ]. d. Helfrich, having
made good the entire shortage o.
the said J. D. Helfrich as assessor
and that the claim in controversy
has been by J. d. Helfrich duly as
siged to w. A. Reynolds as trustee
for said bondsmen.
Second-That while the principle
involved remains the same as when
the suit was commenced and while
we realize that the suit was started
with the best of motives and was at
that time for the best interest of FL
more county, and were the conse-
quences still to fall upon the party
at fault, we believe it would be fol
the best interest of the county te
continue the suit, but now as the
consequences would fall upon many
of our best citizens, who are in no.
wise responsible for the work done
and the results would be detri
mental to the county in the way o.
getting good bondsmen for the sew
eral county officers, and the chair
man of the former board, also the
complaining witness, having ex
pressed a willingness to have The
case dismissed; therefore,
The District Attorney and thu
Attorney General are hereby author
lied and requested to dismiss sale
appeal, and it is further
Ordered, That the Clerk of thi'
Board send a certified copy of THU
order to the District Attorney ano
the Attorney General.
