The Wiley Bond Case.

| AT The January meeting OF the
Board of County Commissioners,
the Bondmen of George w. Wiley
went before said Board and offered
$3.50 as compromise in the settle
ment of the case pending against
them. At meeting of the Board
last Saturday, said Board made an
order accepting the offer of the
bondsmen. The suit was for a much
larger amount, but the Commission
ers concluded to accept this amount
rather than to continue the litiga-
ton which must necessarily cost
both parties a large amount of mon
ley. This will end the suit against
the bondsmen which would come up
at the next term of court, in March.
1t is thought that Mr.. Wiley will
reimburse his bondsmen, or at least,
it is hoped that he will do so. In
conversation with one of them, we
were informed that they thought
Wiley would not let them suffer, at
least for this nominal sum.
The history of the Wiley case is
so well known to our people and we
hardly need repeat the same at this
time. We have strived at all times
TO give our readers full and correct
account of this case, and in doing
so have incurred the eternal enmity
of George w. Wileysapd his entire
family, but we have no apologies to
offer for our attitude in the matter.
We have always endeavored to state
the facts and the true status of this
case. We have never. nor do we
now, bear any malice toward Mr..
Wiley or his family. We have al
ways treated this case the same as
we should expect to have been treat
ed, had we been charged with the
same, or a similar crime. What
ever we may have said or done has
been in the interest of the people of
Meade County, and good govern
ment as we'll. 1t was public case,
and the people had right to know
about the same.
If Mr.. Wiley or his friends do not
like us for the attitude we have as
sumed In this matter, we cannot
help it, and we are most sure, we
shall not lose very many nights
sleep over the affair.
We have repeatedly stated that
Wiley has had cost Meade County
a large sum of money, and we say
SO again. While the action of the
Board ends the matter SO far as liti-
CATION is concerned, it will always
remain in the minds of the people
of this county, that Wiley was coun-
ty treasurer and the county lost its
money.
So far as the bondsmen are con-
cerned, we are pleased that it result
ed as it did, as we would regret to
hear of them losing single dollar.
AS we have said before, the matter
is ended and we sincerely hope that
we will never again have so costly
an experience.

The Contest case.

The contest case of Wehrle vs..
Wysong came on for hearing before
the contest court last Tuesday after
noon. Mr.. Wehrle was represented
by F. c. Price, of Ashland, and A.
T. Bodle, Jr., Of this city. Mr..
Wysong was represented by S. S.
Ashbaugh, of Wichita, and R. w.
Griggs, R. NJ. Painter, F. NJ. Davis
and E. d. Smith, of this county.
AT the beginning of the case the
latter named gentlemen made only a
special appearance and filed a mo-
ton to dismiss the case on the
ground that the original notice to
Wysong was insufficient to bring him
into court. However, the contestor
had caused an amended notice to be
served on the contestee. The court
overruled the motion to dismiss the
case. The hearing was continued
on Wednesday morning. Both sides
made an agreement of facts, and the
only question that remained to be
decided was whether or not the ''no
nomination" ballots should be count
ed. From the rejected ballots 20
which had a cross mark in the square
opposite "no nomination" were Sc
selected, S of which were for Wy
song and IS being for Wehrle, had
only these a3 been counted, the re-
suit would have been changed from
a majority of 4 for Wysong to a ma
jority of 9 for Wehrle. And had
Wehrle cotton counted all the votes
that had been honestly cast for him,
he would have had more than 80
majority.
Mr.. Wysong's attorneys filed a
motion asking the court to not count
the ballots in question. The mo-
ton was argued by both sides and
the court adjourned until 7 O'Clock
at which time they were to render a
decision. They met at that hour
but had not yet reached decision.
About O O'Clock the court announced
majority opinion, sustaining the
motion to not count the ballots.
Judges jenkins and Ellis holding to
sustain the motion-that is, to not
count them, while Judge Harper held
to overrule the motion-or, to count
the ballots. The court adjourned
until Feb. a8, to give time to make
up the record in the case from which
| the appeal to the district court will
be taken,
In the way of comment upon this
case, we have only to say that it is
to regretted that there should be any
law which would deprive the people
from having an officer whom they
choose by majority of their votes.
Wehrle received majority of the
votes cast, and SHOULD have the Of
fee.

The Liquor Seizure.

On last Saturday, S. w. Auglin-
baugh, Route Agent for the Express
Company, arrived in Meade to in
vestigate the recent seizure of pack
ages, supposed to contain liquor,
from the Express Company. The
company made written demand on
Sheriff Givler asking that he return
the goods to the express Office, and
informed him that he had illegally
taken the same in violation of the
interstate commerce laws, as the
same had been shipped from Kan
sas City, Mo. Up to the present
time, nothing further has been done
in the matter, the stuff remaining in
the Jail, where it was originally TAX
en- by the Sheriff. A hearing of the
same having been set for February
9th, before Justice Stamper. What
will be done at that time, we are not
advised.
From what we learned from Mr..
Auglinbaugh, the Express Company
will begin suit against the Sheriff,
his bondsmen and all the parties
who took part in the seizure, for the
recovery of the goods. We should
regret that any of our people would
get tangled up with the EXPIRES:
company, as they generally go hard
when they get started.

BARKEEPER AND BOXER
RESCUE DROWNING WOMAN.
Saving Mrs. Kate O'DOnneli, When
Tommy Sullivan Arrives in SLkiR.

Before an excited crowd on the Levee at
the foot Of Aiulnnphy street. yesterday
afternoon, Ben Horracks. a salOonkeaper
of No. l21i Pine street, and est. Louis Tom
my Sullivan. boxer. rescued a drowning
woman. She proved to be Mrs. Kate ODon-
nell of No. 1220 Benton street.
1t was about 40 in the afternoon. when
Sullivan, who was helping Horraeks clean
his gasoline launch saw a fairly well
dressed woman walk onto the city dump
beat. she did not reflect a moment, hut
with evident determination to end her life
sprang into the river.
Sullivan called to Horracks. who irnmedi-
ately jumped into the water without taking
off IL stitch of clothing.
He was several hundred feet away from
the spot where Mrs. O.Donnell went down.
and before he reached the spot she had
risen twice to the surface and sank again.
AS she arose the third time Horracks was
within reaching distance and grabbed her
by the hair. Later Horracks essayed TO
hold the woman by grasping her more firm
ly about the body. She struggled desperate
~. and 1t was with extreme difficulty that
he kept above water.
Sullivan. in the meantime, had jumped
into skiff and arrived at the side of the
couple in the water none too soon. fer Hor-
racks was well nigh exhausted.
Mrs O'Donnell spoke incoherently when
taken from the water. Her friends were
notified. after which she was taken to her
home.
1t is said that she and her husband have
not been getting along well together.
Later in the evening Mrs O'Donnell was
taken to the City Hospital. Her condition
is not considered serious.

POOR YEAR FOR RECEIVERS.
Only Five Roads Sold Under FOreclO-
smre Proceedings.

Chicago, July According 10 the Rail-
way Age. no steam railway company in
the United States operating SO much as
thirty miles of road has become insolvent
in the last year, and only five little lines
OF from four to twenty-eight miles have
failed TO meet their interest obligations dur
ing the last six months. The whole record
OF rcceivershps from January l to June 80
is as follows: Brooklyn and Rockaway
Beach. Dakota, Wyoming and Missouri,
Muscatine. North and South Atlantic and
Gulf. Alexander and Rich Mountain.
None of these roads can attribute this
embarrassment to conditions affecting rail-
ways in general.
During the SIX months only six roads
were sold under Judgments. These roads
were the Champaign and Southwestern. IL
miles; the Chicago and Southeastern, III
miles. and the Berlin branch. miles
The Champaign and Western has for
more than twenty Gears formed a part of
the Wabash system, and the sale was pure
ly formal.
The little Berlin branch road. which has
maintained a nominal existence since 1877.
has for some years been operated by the
Western Maryland. The Chicago and South
western has been operated under various
names for a quarter of century. 1t will
be- absorbed by the Big Four
All together these three concerns represent
only la miles of ROAD and 81, 600 of bonds
and stocks. while during the corresponding
period of 1902 the foreclosure sales numbered
eleven. covering 249 miles of road and ST.
10000 of capitalization
