The board of directors of the Athletic
club is in quite muddle, and voted that
no news of their moves should be given to

to know how they were situated. This
was slightly amended by allowing one
member to give as little as possible to the
reporters, and only the most commonplace
news. There seems to be fear among them
that the affair will collapse at an early
day. There Is no money in the treasury
and the members are SO far behind in their
dues that 1t would about annihilate The

The justices and constables of this coun-

of the suit by the members of the board

receipts in full. If the courts decide that
the supervisors are entitled to such bal

will begin suits at once to collect of the
county the amounts they have been cut
down. Such suits, If decided in favor of the
latter officials, would cost this county
big sum of money.
