very much like those that brought unon

OFFICERS REINsTATED.
Last Months Action by the Super
visorS Rescinded.

Aside from allowing a few claims and
hearing two or three applications for
reductions of assessments there was
but one bit of business done by the
Supervisors yesterday.
At the forenoon session Chairman
Morrison called brennan to preside. and
in a brief but pointed manner expressed
his surprise at the boards action last
month. during his absence, in retiring
for three months County Veterinary
Fox, the two chaingang officers and
Game Warden Helms. He spoke Of
the necessity for the services Of all of
these officers and moved that they be
reinstated.
Supervisor Curtis explained why he
made the motion last month, and said
he was willing the officers should be
again restored to duty. He thought
last month there We're too many guards
for the chaingang and wanted to get
rid of some Of them.
Supervisor Mclaughlin opposed the
motion, and refused to vote on it.
When it was carried by the votes of
Dreman, Curtis and Morrison he took
his hat and walked out. Mr.. Jenkins
was absent.
Before leaving Mclaughlin asserted
that Game Warden Helms himself vio-
lated the law by killing game out OF
season.
Morrison said he did not believe any
thing of the kind. Helms had been ar
active, energetic officer, but If Nc
Laughlin had proof Of what he charg-
ed it was his duty to lay that proof

The others are still in the north or on
their way home.
