"THErRH AFTER ME-"

W. II. Hornor is committing to
memory the song entitled "They're
After Me-" and all because II seems
that way. Within the past six
months about ST. 900 hae been stolen
from his safe. William Bills has
been arrested charged with that
devilment, but the end is not yet.
On Monday night of this week
somebody broke into Hornor's of.
fee aud attempted to force an en-
trance into his safe. An entrance
to the Office was effected by break
ing the catch on the back window.
Since his heavy loss, however, Mr.
Hornor has changed the combina-
ticn on his safe, and the attempt to
enter IL Monday night was fruitless
However, the burglar managed to
mutilate the safe somewhat and
broke the little catch which works
the combination. Hornor was two
days getting his cafe open and q
shotgun will be on guard hereafter.

supervisor Morrison called attention
to the law restricting the board from
expending more than one-twelfth of the
county funds each month. This provis-
ion Is enforced. he said, in other coun-
ties, and is Of great service to the Su-
pervlsors in guiding them in expend-
ing tie county funds, and he suggested
that the Auditor be requested to fur
nlsh the board each month with a
statement showing exactly how much
money is available in the various funds
under the operation of the clause linn
lung expenditure to one-twelfth. If
this policy We're carried out he thought
there would be no danger of overdraw-
ing, and the board would be in a po-
sltlon TO know just what expense could
be incurred for Improvements or re-
pairs.
he suggested that the matter Of the
Dry Creek bridge so over until Satur-
day, Or until the Auditor can make
statement as to the amount of mon
ey available in the district for this
month.
The matter went over by consent.
GENERAL ROAD FUND.
Supervisor Morrison said the Audi
tor requested that a general road fund
be created, in accordance with the law,
by setting apart 80 per cent. of all
road moneys collected He moved,
therefore, that 50 per cent. of all road
| moneys be set aside for fund to be
known as the general road fund.
Supervisor Curtis seconded the mo-
tion, and it was carried unanimously.
CANNOT GET ROCK.
County Surveyor Boyd said that Con-
tractor Smith asked an extension of his
time on the macadamizing of the Riv-
erside road. 1t has been impossible to
obtain crushed rock, although the con-
tractor has had his teams ready to haul
it. The trouble is that there are or
ders for rock ahead of his, and it will
be impossible to finish the road within
the time specified in the contract.
Supervisor Curtis corroborated the
statement
Supervisor Morrison said that while
he would not impose a penalty for not
| getting the rock, he wanted the road
| finished as soon as possible, and if a
| definite extension be granted, the con-
| tractor could draw off his teams and
| trust 10 getting the work done within
the time extended. He thought the
rock should be put on as fast as possi-
| bic, and the work finished. He thought
the matter should be left in the hands
of the Road Committee, to use their
discretion and with power to act in
| granting extension from day to day
as necessary, without exacting the pen
| atty.
The matter was referred to the Road
Committee, with power to act
ROAD HEARING DEFERRED.
The hearing of the petition for the
| proposed new road along the lines of
Monsch, MeisS and others, which had
been set for hearing yesterday, was
taken up. H. NJ. Ward, who appeared
for those of the parties along the line,
asked that the matter be continued till
more of the interested parties could be
present, and the matter was continued
till January 9th.
The board adjourned till Saturday
morning at 10 O'Clock, and will go down
this morning to inspect the Hicksville
grade.
