EDITOR VIDErTE In the last issue
can Illegal Contract" asserting that
the board of supervisors let contract
to county officer contrary to law,
and without giving other persons
wishing to hid on the same an op-
portunity. The whole statement is
utterly false. MIR. Flewellyn was not
a county officer, but a precinct con-
stable only, and today is not county
officer, being only ajailor appointed
by the sheriff. By direction of the
whole Board l was placed as a COM
mittee to invite all persons willing to
Lid to do so. There being no time in
which to advertise in newspapers
the Jail cells being expected on the
ground by the 18th of June-I ac
cordinsly called on Mr.. JOS. Thomp-
son and asked him to make bid, he
said he would do so, but never put i'll
bid. 1 also called on Mr.. Butter
field and Mr.. Tritch and asked them
to put in bids, and left the specifca-
tions with Mr.. Tritch for over a week,
they also never put in bids. L also
spoke to Mr.. Case and Mr. Otto Kreu-
ger about bidding on the contract,
and Mr.. Kreuger did put IN bid,
but it was so very much higher than
that Of Mr.. Flewellyn's, which, was
therefore rightfully and legally ac-
copied. Now, the Oasis says Mr..
Thompson and Mr.. Butterfeld have
bids in writing offering to do the
work for less than Mr. FlewelIyn's
contract. If they have written any
such bids, which do not believe any
way, seeing that it is stated only in
the Oasis, it must have been lately
written or Matched up in that office,
for they have certainly never been
presented or seen in the office of the
Board OF Supervisors.

Failed to Report

County Treasurer P. r. Brady, Jr,
failed to make his quarterly statement
and settlement with the Board of
Supervisors last week as required by
legal proceedings and suspended him
from office. There seems to be short
age of six or seven thousand dollars
which his bondsmen will make up if
those who have received the money do
not disgorge. On account of the death
of two of his children within the past
week much sympathy is expressed for
the ex-countY treasurer, who seems
dazed by the culmination Of unfortu-
nate events. 1t is more than proba-
bic that when Mr.. Brady gets at him
self once more he will be able to
straighten matters out and his bonds
men will not suffer. The board of su
pervisors at its meeting yesterday APP
pointed w. Y. Price, county treasurer,
and that gentleman will take charge
of the office as soon as his bond is filed.
1t is understood that George E.
Truman will act as deputy. Both are
thoroughly competent and reliable and
Will soon unravel the tangle.
! 1t is learned that three or four Tue
son gentlemen of means are on the
bond, and further, that the Pinai coun-
ty board of supervisors having failed to
approve the bond it is invalid. Report
goes that the shortage of Treasurer
Brady will be over $lI0O. He is quite
well known in Florence

The District Attorneys Letter.

Last week it was stated in these
columns that the district attorney had
written the board of supervisors very
severe letter, arraigning that body for
its i'll advised action in combating the
claim against the county for service S
rerdere by Jos. Thompson, when he
was acting as jliler. Having hell on
Tuesday an impromptu meeting, at
tended by two of the board and the de-
putty boss of the county (Peg Lep,) the
letter was read and now is Legitimate
public property. 1t reads as follows:
NoGALEs, A T., Nay %, 1899.
Hon. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS,
County of Santa Cruz, Territory
of Ariz)na.
GENTLEMEN: gainst my advice,
your Honorable Body saw fit to instruct
me to combat the claim of one Joseph
Thompson, amounting to $4,000 in
the j ustice's Court of the First Precinct
of this County. This, L have done, to
the best of my ability, and the jury
have rendered a luminous verdict III
favor of Mr.. Thompson. L am nov
instructed 10y one member of the board
to appeal the case, and l have given
notice thereof. Now, please again take
notice that in my judgment, the coun-
ty cannot win this case, and it will
simply mean added cost to proceed any
farther. Further, in my opinion, the
Board of Supervisors should forget
their pretty animosities and local town
troubles, and look directly and solely
to the interests of the whole county.
But, if your Honorable Body desires
to appeal, and deem in for the best in
terest of the tax payers, please advise
me, at the same time inclosing $S9.70
gold coin, court costs which have &C
crued to date, and L will do my best
to represent the County in the higher
court.
Respectfully submitted.

A Child's Disposition

May be ruined through existing defects in
eyesight. Children are often called dull and
stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with a
defect in sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world from that which they see through
defective eyes Mark any peculiarities that
children may have in looking at objects at a
distance or near by. Squiting, frown1ng,
looking sidewise with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles. Better be
over cautious in having child's eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands Examination free.
CHILDREN'S EYES
Should have careful attention. They
should be examined at the first complaint by
s. reliable optician-es especially while the
child is in school.
A little care at the proGer time may save
them untold misery and heir parents much
remorse. A defect that may be easily
remedied NOW might prove difficult LATER.

Judging from the charges OF bribery

rial fights of various states it would
seem that the reformers might begin
hostilities again with profit. The
present method of electing U. S.
senators is not in keeping with the
progressive spirit OF America. 1t is
one of the relics of monarchy copied
by the trainers of the constitution
which should be changed, giving the
people an opportunity to vote direct
ly for the senators the same asis done
in the selecting of other officers.
