mont county, the case being one of
great Importance to all counties. The
action was brought by David w. Miller
and part of the litigation growing out
OF the trouble in the county Smith
had been a member of the former
board. The allegations in this suit
were that he had put in and collected
bills for work on roads at Sc per day;
that he had charged the same rate for
experimenting bridge works; that the
bridge board had appropriated lump
sum out of the treasury and entrusted
it to him to expend in building road;
that various other breaches of the law
had been participated in by him. One
plea of the defense was that the county
had advised the board that the appro-
priation of money to be expended by
members of the board was legal. The
supreme court suggests that county
attorney giving such advice could be
removed from Office 1t is found that
the charges were sustained by the evil
dence, and that the judgment of custer
was warranted.

Death of Won KetteIer.

Berlin, July 3.-Privy Councillor Ham
MN informed the correspondent of the As
soclated Press today that the official dis
patch announcing Baron Won ketteers
ASSASSINATION was received 1t was based
upon a direct written message conveyed

OF customs. 1t was addressed to the com
mander OF the European forces at Tentsln
and was forwarded June % by Consul I'm

number of Chinese, who pulled him oil us
horse and beat him to death. An interpre-
ter who was with him was seriously IN
Jured, but escaped and subsequently reach
ed the German legation.
Herr Hammin supposes that there was
more bloodshed at the legation, the de,
st1uction of which he declares was more
alarming because the message adds Inc
condition OF the whites in Picking was de''
perate and aid was imperatiyely needea'
