SUPERVISORS MEET.
County Guardians Look Things Over
 and Give Some Orders.

One of the features of the regular meeting of the County Board of Supervisors held this week, was the instructions given the district attorney to take to the supreme court of the territory the case of Fowler ys. Santa Cruz county. The case grows out of the appoint ment of Homer Mapes as jailer by Sheriff Fowler and subsequent failure of the supervisors to con- firm the appointment. Mapes served about three months as jailer before his appointment was con- firmed and the demand for salary for the quarter was rejected by the board. Sheriff Fowler, who paid Mapes S225 for his services sued and was given judgment for that amount The board in session this week had before them a conn munication from Public Examiner Foster, suggesting that the matter be appealed to the supreme court and the instructions to the district attorney followed the reading of the communication. The judg- ment of the district court was paid under protest.
 The district attorney was also instructed to ascertain if the 1 United States Fidelity < Guar antee company has complied with the law in regard to the appoint ment of an agent in Santa Cruz county.
 The clerk was instructed to order the justice of the peace of precinct No. 1, to turn over to the county board all con6scated prop erty in his possession.
