 Treasurer Wright was also stirred by ,he published statements, and while disclaiming that it was his duty to in. aia,e legal proceedings in the said eases. still he expressed the utmost will ,ugness to cooperate with the proper authorities in the prosecution of the matter.
 The two men who made satisfactory arrangements with. the assessor where. by they secured possessiou of their ~ized property are II. c. Hibbcn and TJ. Coslter, both of Flagstaff, Coco nino county.
 MT. Hibbcnf satisAed the assessor that he purchased the seissd goats from H. P.

However, the district attorney, if he 10 desires, can bring the suits in my name as treasurer. At the time these bonds were executed, i remember that there was some understanding reached be. tween District.Attornsy Ellinwood and the Wool Growers' association that one test case would be tried, the members of the association and the county to abide by the decision without incurring the additional expense of separate trials in each particular ease, hut it appears to nc, that District-Attorney Ellinwood took no action for the col. lection of the taxes.
