Twenty-Five Men Guarding VOt-

Their Pay.

The County Commissioners have held
up claims for So each presented by
about twenty-five men who were depus

ing machines The men were named
by County Clerk j. u. Eldredge, Jr..
and were commissioned as deputy
sheriffs by Sheriff c, Frank Emery. It
is as deputy sheriffs that they are
claiming paw.
Clerk Eldredge's position is that he
chimes in about twenty-five districts
where they could be tampered with
during the night, and that. after con-
sulting with County Commissioner
Mackay, he decided to place men in
charge of the machines until they could
be removed TO the county building the
next day. He asked Sheriff Emery to
swear the men in as deputy sheri1fs,
and this was done.
Mackay's Memory Faulty.
The claims for pay of the men were
first presented while Clerk Eldredge
held up until his return, and then, by
the time the board reached them again,
