dispcnsary management of ten
years ago. For instance he said
that he voluntarily quit the board
OF control, to which he had been
twice unanimously elected, be-
cause the general impression was
that it was not an honest place
and for fear that some people
might suspect him Of dishonesty
he thought it best to quit. Ol
one thing Mr.. Miles was positive,
and that he willingly testified and
that was that some one in the
dispensary in his day and time
supplied liquor to blind tigers
and he doubted very much if the
money for it ever went to the
state. He thought that the
board was all right, but he said
that in his day and time on the
board the outside influences were
bad, and that orders were worked
for by outsiders, but he was free
to say that things were not to his
liking in the dispcnsary itself, and
he quit and came home 10 be
elected county supervisor, which
office he now holds.
Third-Thcre was another scene
between Messrs. Christensen and
Lyon and Mr.. Bleasc. In conncc-
ton with Mr.. Toland testimony,
it was developed that Mr.. Toland
has sworn that Mr.. Rlcasc, a
member Of the investigating COM
mittce, had told him that the
committee was just going atocnd
smoothing matters over and up
holding the dispensary law. That
MIR. Blease had asked him why in
the dickens he (Teland) had not
gone off and had nothing to say
about the matter That he had
told Toland that he was not oblig-
ed to testify, and that the gen
eral tendency of the invcstigatin G
committee was to smooth matters
over and uphold the dispcnsary.
Mr.. Blease reiterated that he
had done nothing to interfere with
he work of the committee, that
he is doing all he can to help it
along and that he has never Of
fercd advice Or money to impede
the work Of the committee. He
asked the people whether they
would believe Mr.. Toland or
himself on the issue involved.
Fourth-Jesse Mahafiey, the
the member of the house, who is
quoted as having said that II. Fl
Evans gave him all the whiskev
he wanted and stuffed $40 bills in
his pocket while he (Evans) was a
candidate for reelection on the
board, utterly denied any and all
such charges. He insisted that
Mr.. Evans was generous and
openhearted, but he has not given
him whiskey nor had he given him
any money in one way or another.
and the report must have started
from a joke, because he made no
such statements seriously.
Fifth-That Jeff Dunwoody is
credited with telling Toland that
he was paid $Ioo for writing a
letter to Mr.. III. II. Evans for one
OF the representatives Of Bluther-
halt and Bickart.
Sixth-That members of the
county board Of control made a
habit of borrowing money from
dispensers and Of not returning
the money.
Seventh--That the members of
the board Of control would get all
the free liquor they wanted and
that they had practice Of suggest
ing that they would like certain

fifth-That all dispensers here
have received case upon case of
