BAZILLE MAY SUE.
County VIII Not Pay His Claim for
Clerk Hire.

County VIII Not Pay His Claim for
Clerk Hire.
The county commissioners last evening dis
allowed Abstract Clerk Bazille's claim Of
$500 for clerk hire. and he will be obi ged
to sue the county for the money. He ap-
peared before the commissioners and offered
to compromise the claim for $4,000, but Coun-
ty Attorney Anderson advised the commits
lille was entitled to receive every cent of
it, and II it was not good then he was not
entitled to cent. He believed the matter
should be tested in the courts and after a
lengthy executive session the commissioners
decided to allow Mr.. Bazille to sue If he 50
desires. ae- 's~i,,i.s
All the commissioners were present and
Mayor Kiefer presided. Mr.. Bazille appeared
and explained his case. He said that when
ne took office the law of 1891 was in force
the understanding that the county would re-
imburse him. There was a change in the
law governing salaries and fees, and law
OF 1885 was re-enacted; Under that law he
was willing to let the matter go If the coun-
ty would pay back to him what he paid to
the clerks. He said that the clerks would
not be entitled to recover the amount Of their
salraies from the county because the county
did not pay them.
Mr.. Anderson contended that there should
loss Of every cent of the claim If it was
not legal. and he argued that a proposition
to compromise the matter looked as though
Mr.. Bazille himself was in doubt as to its
Justice
The board went into executive session and
decided to follow Mr.. Anderson's advice
Sheriff Wagner presented a claim for s22.-
600 for fees which he has turned into the
county treasury, instead of keeping He
claims that while his Office was a fee office
1t was changed to a salaried office illegally,
He obeyed the new law and accepted a salary
but now, 1t is alleged he is not entitled to
the salary, and he wants his fees and all the
money he had turned into the county.
