the inability Of the short sellers to force any

GOT MAN AND A GUN
officer McNally Took His Man Re-
gardless of the Swapping of
Revolver.

Thursday Kentuckian working at
Ballard's camp got loaded with whisky
and proceeded to introduce his native
idea of helarity-with revolver. He
shot into the air several times when
Officer McNally came upon the scene
and took man and gun into custody.
When ordered to cease shooting, the
man pointed his weapon-a SO calibre
at McNally and snapped it. Nc drew
his own revolver and ordered the man
to lie down on the hay on which he was
riding, which was promptly done.
HI. L. Clark and E. G. Haviland, in
front of whose office the affair occurred,
mounted the sleigh and assisted in dis
arming the intruder.
The offender gave his name as Jones.
A hearing was held yesterday at which
he was sent to Jail for six months.

MORE ABOUT ISHERIFFS' FEES.
Why Is 1t that One Sheriff Gets All He Asks While the
Others Bills Are Sashed by Approval of the
Same Members of the Board?

board were members before. For in
stance, the chairman ssof the present
board was member of the previous
boards that slashed Sergeant's bills.
Not only was he a member of those
boards, but he was a member of
committee that reported on sheriff. S
fees. He certified the opinion that
outside of the county the sheriff is en-
titled to only actual expenses instead
Of mileage at 10 cents per mile. If he
knew what ne was certifying to then,
does he know now? And if he knows
now, why his splendid silence when
the True bills were sliding down the
CREASED channel to the county treas
er's Office. Why is it that Chairman
Helm was so jealous of the treasury
when the bill's of an enemy Of the
McGill machine were before the board
and so forgetful when friends bills
were on passage? Chairman Helm, you
have the floor.
John McGee: You voted in support
of the proposition that the sheriff is
entitled only to actual expenses out
side of the county. You voted for
True's mileage at 10 cents per mile
few weeks ago. You have the floor
and there is free space in the Lady
smith News for your explanation.
Supervisor Reed: You voted on both
propositions -once one way and again
the other. What is your explanation?
Supervisor Coon: Your vote is re-
corded in favor of the proposition that
Sheriff Sergeant was entitled only to
actual expenses outside the county.
Will you kindly inform the taxpaying
public how it happens that Sheriff
Trde is entitled to mileage outside the
county?
The News believes that the people
of Rusk county are entitled to know
something of this interesting matter.
The News believes that the county
supervisors are only agents and not
principals in these matters and it
doesn't believe that friendship or en-
nifty to the McGill stalwart machine,
maintained for the purpose of manipu-
lating county politics, we'll CREASED
from the county funds, is a criterion
for the allowance or disallowance of
county bills. The Ladysmith News
holds it's columns wide open to any ex-
plantations that may be offered.
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1905-12-16

Last week the Ladysmith News told
it's readers when and where many of
the bills of Ex-Sheriff Sergeant were
cut down, often cut to half or third,
by the board of county supervisors.
1t showed also that every bill of Sher-
iff True was passed without cutting
and with no other apparent examin-
alton than that said to have been
made by District Attorney Williams
who approved the bills.
The difference in the amounts allow
ed for similar services aggregates
hundreds of dollars and it is not at all
surprising that Ex-Sheriff Sergeant
should ask the question: "Who was
skinned?"
The News has not had time to di-
gest the question involved, but. it
would appear to be within the province
of the county board to do so.
Rusk county cannot afford either to
oppress one officer or to unduly reward
another.
1t is we'll known that the district
attorney practically controls these mat
ters-it shouldn't be the fact to the
extent that it is-but it is true, never
theless, that county boards are usually
controlled in fiscal matters by the dis
trict attorney.
Ex-District Attorney McGill and the
present District Attorney Williams are
political chums. The McGill machine
made Williams district attorney. They
are friends and friends of the one are
friends of the other --and, by the same
token, enemies of the one are neces-
sarily enemies of the other. McGill
and Sergeant were not friends. Will
liams and True are friends. The News
doesn't wish-at this time at least-to
be understood as saying that friend
ship caused District Attorney Williams
to allow Sheriff True excessive fees
not that, but that friendship and en-
nifty did cause the different treatment
of the two officers by the two attorneys
of the McGilI machine-not only doing
injustice to the officers, but placing
Rusk county in the light of rewarding
one and injuring another in accordance
with the wishes of controlling politi-
cal machine.
The law should control both cases
and the law is the same in both cases.

A Difference.

There was a marked difference be-
tween the jurors gathered in by the
sheriff's force Tuesday, when the reg
ular panel was exhausted, and the
gang of scrubs selected in justice court
q few weeks ago. This time there
were lot of reputable and leading
business men who would do Justice
but there was no enemy to punish.
Petty whiffts sometimes do the right
thing. When enmity prevails gang
of henchmen, roustabouts, petty pol
iticians, little embarrassed shop keep
and mental weaklings, caterers and
servelings are easily found.
These things need publicity and the
News purposes giving that publicity.
The public is entitled to protection.
Justice should not be tampered with
under the demands of any machine.
Let us illustrate: Not long ago a
man charged with assault admitted the
offense. A jury selected from the
same crowd and class found him inno-
cent Later on another jury selected
from this undercrust by the same Off
Ger found man guilty where the evil
dence was overwhelming for the ac-
cused. At least two of the jurors were
on both cases-and one of them is re-
ported to have said that he didn't de-
eide upon the evidence. The News
wants the public to know these things,
for public protection and for the rea-
son that under exposure this practice
will stop. When Justice Reeves de-
clares that a case under his jurisdiction
was conducted in a manner amounting
to san outrage" it is time that the
public should know what is going on.
