ment and the intent thereof, to al
low the said B. F. Jones for his SER
vices as county clerk and clerk of
county and circuit courts from the
8th day of August, 1894 to the 5th
day of July. 1898, compensation
equal to what he would have re-
ceived and have been entitled if the
Benton county fee bill were consid-
cred in force in Lincoln during the
said time and to have him account
for all monies received by him in
his capacity as clerk of said county
and of said courts.
When the foregoing sums shall be
ascertained by said referee he shall
take the difference between them,
and if the amount received be great
er than the amount of his compen-
sation, ascertained as aforesaid, that
said balance shall be at once paid
into the county treasury by said B.
F. Jones and his bondsmen; but if
the amount received by B. F Jones
as said clerk, be less than his com
pensation, ascertained as aforesaid,
then the county court of Lincoln
county shall execute and deliver to
said B. F. Jones its warrant for the
difference.
The said referee shall report to
the county court at its first meeting
after he shall have finished his ex-
animation as aforesaid, and in max
ing of such examination he shall
have the assistance of the defendant
and of the county court in ascertain
ing the true results. And for his
services as such referee he shall re-
ceive the sum of $4 per day, which
amount shall be borne equally by
the plaintiff and defendants in the
abovenamed suits or action.
Dated this 27th day of July,
1893"
1t will be seen by the above that
the county court agrees to give
Mr.. Jones compensation for his
work equal to what he would have
received under the old fee system,
and Mr.. Jones is to account for all
monies that have come into his
bands during that time.
The county court hopes by this
settlement to avoid all further and
expensive litigation, and to get the
county out of the tangle oflawsuits
that it has been in for some time.

of wheat Umatilla county has ever

Their alleges that defendant gave as her
exucse that before she had married him
she had loved another man. TO whom she
mad been engaged to be married. but that
before the date set for the marriage such
party had died. That the longer she lived
with plaintiff the more thoroughly con-

other man.
After many futile efforts TO convince de-
