The people of Dundaff, Pa, are just now

friend, Miss Litchenstein, of Newark, are
the guests Of friends near Crystal Lake.
Both young women are fond of animals.
and every morning and night finds them in
the milking yard watching the herd of cat
tie. Saturday morning the young women
were watching the animals drink from a
huge watering trough. In the herd was a
Jersey bull. Just for a frolic Miss IsaacSon
stepped upon the edge of the trough and
leaped upon the back of the bull.
With a roar. the animal dashed down a
narrow lane and out on the highway. head
ing for the lake. The terrified girl chung to
the neck of the animal like a jockey in a
race, and every minute expected to be
dashed to the ground. For a second the

Half a mile ahead appeared a man in a
cutter. The driver wore II red scarf. and
as soon as the bull caught sight of that.
he took it as a challenge and increased his
speed. The driver saw his danger and put

rides of Paul Revere and Tam o Shanter
are not worth mentioning, The brave
girl. with closed eyes, chung like grim death
to the bull. hoping against hope that some
thing would soon occur to save her. The
driver of the horse was soon lost to view.
From the foot of Il long hill. two farmers
saw the danger of the girl, and. Selling a
long fence rail. held it across the highway.
On came the bull and his rider at a mad
gait. When within a few rods of the OBJ
struction the bull stopped suddenly. veered
around and headed directly for home.
The movement threw Miss lsaacson into
Il deep Snowdrift. from whence. in a dead
faint. she was taken by the farmers and
carried into "A farmhouse. The next day
she was able to return to her friends.

There was one man yesterday who stood

County Court Awards Printing With
out Bid or Idea of Its
Cost

The incompetency of the county court
and the fact that two of the members Of
that tribunal have prostituted their Off
cial positions for political gain at the eS-
rense of the taxpayers of jackson county,
was made apparent yesterday in an order
made at Independence. letting the print
ing of the financial statement of the coun-
ty TO the three Democratic papers OF the
county. The court, in its order. did not
specify the price to be paid for the work.
a range of possibilities which
could only have a parallel in the loose
methods which characterized the order Of
yesterday.
For the past ten years all of the county
courts have adopted the plan of letting the
financial statement of the county to the
lowest bidder, with a view of saving the
taxpayers money. Yesterday Judge Marsh
and Judge Chrisman, both of them as
pIrants for the nomination Of presiding
Judge. and acting in accordance with ar
rangements made on the day preceding,
let down the bars Of the treasury and.
through the agency of their official posi-
lions and desire for political prestige, at
the expense of the taxpayers, made the
order letting the county printing without
bid or price. The court Sloated over its
achievement and the two members over
rode the protest of Presiding Judge Stone.
When asked why such an ambiguous or
der was made when public money WAS
used. Judge Chrisman and Judge Marsh
Gle not deign to give any reason. except
that the majority of the court had the
power to do as it pleased and that the
act was legal.
The action of the court yesterday gave
rise 10 the rumor that one of the county
judges was interested in a newspaper plant
and that the throwing of a few pluins of
this character was in keeping with the
methods used in diverting a public road to
run by his land.
Judge Marsh CAV as his reason for such
an order that the court had the power and
desired TO use il. According TO the state

work is compiled how much space will be
necessary, and that the work would not

OPINIONS BY COUNSELOR REED.
Sheriff Stone Not Entitled to 5000 of
Fees for the Sale of Wall
do Tract,

County Counselor Reed was before the
county court at Independence yesterday,
and handed down several opinions as 10
matters referred to him by the county
court.
In reference to the trustees fees received
by Sheriff Stone, the counselor was of
the opinion that they belong to the sheriff
and that the county was not entitled TO
any part of them. As to executions, that
was another matter. and the county was
entitled to the fees in these cases. Mr..
Reed stated that the fees derived from the
sale of the Waldo tract of land belonged
to the county. and the sheriff had no right
10 them. The fees for the sale of this
land amounted to nearly $500. In view OF
the Importance of the matter, however,
the counselor asked permission to engage
with the sheriff in a friendly suit so that
the opinion of the circuit or appellate court
could be given in the matter. The court
granted the request.
Mr.. Reed handed down several opinions
as to loans on real estate and passed on
abstracts and contracts.
