speciaI Committee Report.


To the Jail committee elected by the citizens
of Bollinger cour"y, Missouri.
We, the undersigned comrnittee, appointed
by the chai. man of the said Jail committee to
invesGgs'e for the information of the -is6blic
the reco;d OF cost bills in CRIMINAL cases, and
to asce tain the amSuGt expended by the
county u BolIinGer in the last past four years
for gusEd tees and transportation expenses
for prisoners for that time by the sheriffs of
said Bollinger county and report our finding
to this meeting, respectfully state that we
have made said investigation, as far as we
have been able in the short space Of time
which we have had 10 do the work, and find
that the fees and expenses amounted to:
In 1903 ............ go. ......SI, ,225.5o
In 1894 ............ ..........- B222.c7
In 1905 ...... ...... .........,. AS AZ
In IS0o...... ...... 5o7.S4
Total. al................ ..$3,37O.S3
Making an average OF $S42.7l per year for
said last four years. This statement includes
the guard lees and transportation expenses
of prisoners held by sheriff only. No fees OF
expenses of guarding by constables, nor for
bond, clothing or doctor bills for any prison
er are in cuded in this statement. And we
are confident that there are m1re expenses
and lees for guarding and transportation in
each of the above stated years that we have
mol been able to find or have overlooked in
our haste to get through the work, which
could be found were we required to make an
exact or certified statement Of said expenses
and fees for guards and transportation. We
further find that in 1888 1Dl in 1894 the said
expenses were;greatIy in excess of the expen
ses in the yearslS95 and 1896. We are able
to give at least two reasons Tor said excess,
which are as follows:
l. In the years 1898 and 1891 there were
more crimind! cases or prosecutions and con-
victions than in 1895 and 1896.
,. In the years 1903 and 1894 the prisoners
worked out their haes and costs upon the
public roads and wee guarded while so
working, which, in misdemeanor cases, run
the cost up in each case much more than in
1895 and 1906 when the prisoners were not
worked and guarded.
We ale well satisfied that the average cx-
penses of guards and transportation alone
for prisoners for the last past ten years will
not fail below 5000 per year, which expense
was all incurred for lqcj, o! a a,l.

PORTLAND THUGS COME TO GRIEF

~ Her Small but Gritty
Husband

PORTLAND, Oh, April ?. = Stephen
Blower, lawyer from the Sound, and his
wife were walking along Taylor street,
between First and Second, last night
when a man suddenly confronted them
and, seizing Mrs. Brewer. EN- braced and
kissed her several times The lady
shrieked with fright as the man touched
her, and f0r a second or two Mr.. Brewer
was so amazed at the audacity of the feI-
low that he'was powsrless to protect his
wife.
But that sensation did not last more
than two seconds, and then Mr.. Brower's
right shot out. II caught the stranger on
the chin and felled him. Brewer was n OF
satisfied with that but, as though en-
dowed with superhuman strength, ke
picked the fellow out OF the street three
times. only 10 knock him down again
each time.
As the fellow was felled the fourth time
a supposed friend of his, who had been
watching the proceedings from the other
side OF the street, came to his rescue, but
he, also, vas knocked down in the twink
ling OF an eye, by Brewer, and took 10 his
heels as quickly as he could pick himself
out OF the mud. Mrs. Brower assaiiznt
remained lying In an unconscious state
when the Brewers proceeded on their
way.
Frank CASTOR, an electrician, who wit
messed the greater part of this scene, says
that Mr.. Brewer could not weigh more
than 140 pounds. while either of the row.
dies he vanquishcd would tip the scales
at 110 or 175 pounds. 1t must have been
Brewers intense Indignation that lent
him superhuman physical strength.

FRESH0iTES REBUKE GRIFFITH
The Colonization Schemer ExoeHed From
the Hundred Thousand s
Club

FRESNO. CAL, April BY vote OF IL
to 2 S. n. Griffith was expelled from the
Hundred Thousand Club at a meeting of
the executive committee of that organiza-
ton last night. He is the real estate
agent who recently brought five men from
Chicago to settle on land near Clovis,
east of tn is city. He had promised to give
them work when they should arrive here
but did not do so. The men remained in
this city for several weeks, waiting for the
promised employment.
The Hundred Thousand Club, which is
con stituted of local business men and de-
voted to the general interests of the
county, with the special purpose of in
creasing Fresno's population to 100. 900 by
the year 1900, heard of the deception. An
investigation into the charges was held a
week ago, and at that time action was de-
ferred upon the condition that Griffit b
would i'm mediately procure EN- oloy me n {
for the men. This be failed TO do. and he
was accordingly expelled from the club.

stay here. The hall will cost several thou
sand dollars. The letting of the contract
has been placed in the hands of the School

be built on the old school grounds now
unused. BIDS will be received until Mon
day, at which time they will be opened
and the contract awarded. a large force
Of men will be put on and the building
completed within two weeks. The city
will be asked 10 wire the building and fur
nish electric lights from its plant.
A NUN Der of decorators have within the
last week been here TO inspect the city
and to submit plans for decorating the
streets and buildings. In order TO stimu.
late enthusiasm in this direction the
decoration committee has offered cash
prizes for the best decorated business
house and the best-decorated private resi-
dence. Arrangements are being made for
a grand display OF fireworks TO take place
on the second night of the session.
The accom- E1odation committee is kent
busy answering communications from the
delegates and assigning rooms. ALI the
available rooms have been or are being
engaged and will be assigned by this COM
mtttee only. Delegates should engage
their rooms at once.
