The girl, who is the daughter of Mrs.

and is considered very hayward.
When the mother heard that com

daughter she visited the court and
raised an objection against any at

thought she would be able to raise
enough money to pay a fine il not

the court to make the sentence as

fore the board of land commissioners

diately upon their action. Yours
very truly, A. II. Barrett, state treas

our attorney advises us that bonds
will have to be offered to state treas
urer in accordance with the provi.
sions Of house bill No. u, confirmed
by board of land commissioners, and
if refused by them, then advertised
according to law. This will delay
your district some weeks, but it is
the only way out Of the dilemma. W.
regret this delay consequent upon
WISE legislation. You're very truly
