A Personal Statement.

Tho following notice was re-
ceived by mo from the county
con- missioncrs, and speaks for it
self, though not for me:
"In the matter Of all criminal
cases where the offense is charged
of a serious character, ms felonies,
etc, the Board insist thnt no war
rants be issued for arrest of any
person unless at the request Of the
district attorney or his deputy."
1t is perfectly clear that the
commissioners are overreaching
their duties and / shall pay no at
teption to it. When a crime ia
committed requiring an Immediate
arrest. it is my duty to act prompt
ly and / will do so. The law pre-
scribcs the dusics of a justice and
commissioners cannot in any way
interfere with the law or his duties

It was q source of much regret that
the weather was not OF the usual

it could have been worse. Tho

lasting impression upon them. In
