MR.. CHILDS CONFIDENT.
Believes that the Contract of Messrs.
FIeener and Ssylor will be Upheld.

While in st Paul yesterday, Martin
Fleener had conference with his part.
ner Mr.. Saylor, and former Attorney
General Childs in regard to the injunc-
tion proceedings begun in this county
Mr.. Childs has been their attorney in
all matters arising in this state. He
does not think that the proceedings will
prevail. He made the statement that
if he were attorney general at the pre-
sent time he would be present at the
hearing in the interest of the county
board and the people of the state, as
the case is one of so much Importance.
Messrs. Fleener and Saylor, besides
employing Mr.. Childs and Judge Sever
ance, have retained Judge VIM. F.
Hughes. With six attorneys arrayed
on the two sides, the contest is sure to
be an interesting one.
Mr.. Fleener is anxious to have the
matter decided as speedily as possible,
and thinks that if it gets to the su-
preme court it can be passed up at the
April term.
The position which County Attorney
Hughes takes is that, no matter what
may be thought of the compensation al
lowed the experts by their contract
with the county board, that contract
must be carried out and the county's
obligations fulfilled. Inasmuch as the
money is in the county treasury, the
county has nothing to worry about
while the question is being passed upon
by the courts. The main fight will be
between Mr. Grannis and Messrs Flee
ner and Saylor.

OFFICIALS MEET.
City would except $500 from Ex-
Recorder Brown.
The Choice is Given TO Settle on this
Basis or Stand a Prose-
cutiOn.

Mayor Currier. City Attorney Daley
and all of the aldermen met last even
ing in Mr. Dailey's Office to talk over
the claim of the city against former
CITY Recorder H. w Brown. The
shortage of that official as reported by
Expert Donaldson was abont $500
A few days ago, members of the spe.
cial committee on claims against for
mer city officials were sounded as to
whether they would take S4O0 in settle
ment of the claim. The committee did
not want to take the responsibility of
deciding, and the meeting last evening
was the result.
Four of the aldermen are said to have
been in favor of accepting $40O in settle
ment of the claim, but one or two held
out for 5000 or $500. The aldermen
finally unanimously came together on
$500, and it is now understood that in
case this sum in cash should be ten
dered the city between now and Tues
day next, when the grand jury meets,
the latter will not be asked to return
indictments. In case there is no settle
ment effected, the council is unanl-
mously in favor of allowing the law to
take it's course.
To some, $500 may seem small as
compared with 81 800, but it is gener-
ally conceded that Mr.. Browns real
SC, fhon r. n.
sons figures indicate. 1t would be diff
fcult to reach the exact amount, and
the aldermen take the view that it
would be wiser to accept $500 in settle
ment rather than have the county go
to the expense of a prosecution.
City Attorney Daley does not be-
lieve that settlement will be effected,
and some of the aldermen are of the
same opinion. There is an impression
in some quarters that the talk OF
settlement is nothing more than a
clever device to keep the council ''jol-
lied up" until after the grand jury has
adjourned If this is the plan it will
fail, as the city officials are determined
to push the criminal proceedings unless
the actual cash is forthcoming. After
an indictment has been returned, the
only way that the prosecution could
be headed off would be for the city to
fail to appear when the case was called.
If there is to be a settlement, it should
be made within the next few days.
Some of our citizens take the view
that the council oaght not to make any
settlement, but should push the crimi-
nal proceedings. They say that for the
council to settle the matter now would
be compromising with crime, which is
unlawful However, if settlement
should be effected on $500 basis before
the county has been put to any expense,
there would be little complaint on the
palt of the citizens in general
The matter is not apt to come before
the council in open session tomorrow
evening. City Attorney Daley is to
upoficially convey to A. E. Clark, who
is Mr.. Browns attorney, the result of
last evenings conference, so the mat
ter is now up to Mr.. Brown and his
friends.
A. e Clark states that he has not
made any proposition on the part of
Mr.. Brown to settle for S4O0, but
further than this will not say anything.
In regard % the position of the council,
he said this afternoon that that body
can take whatever action it pleases.
