Pressure is being brought to bea,
, on Clay county's board of commission
ers to do something in the way of OF
fering rewards for the capture of hors'
thieves whenever robberies are report
ed. Two or three have occurred al
ready and thus far the robbers hav'
not been apprehended in any instance
While the sheriff is perfectly willing
to do all in his power to recover stolel
s property, there is always a limit to hi
expense account in the eyes of thos'
who govern the cOunty's disburse
ments, and he car only go about s.
far without running a risk of spending
his own money. The opinion is ger
eral that something must be one a
. once to check the l~aw-breaking ele
ment, and it is believed good reward
q will greatly assist in bringing offend
:, ers to justice and also put a ban o.
;, thieving.
