Special to Review.)


 TOMBSTONE, Aug. 2.-County Treasurer J. N. Gaines has filed his monthly report with the Board of Su- pervisors for the past month as is required by law and it shows some interesting figures as to the revenues and expenditures of the county for the past month. During the month there was received the sum of sS,767.92 of this amount the largest portion was that collected by Sheriff Hunt for gambling and other licenses amounting to S5,641.10, the next largest amount was that collected from back taxes amounting to s1,366.47. The returns from the county recorders office for the month of July for instruments re corded during that period contributed the sum of S1.114.S0. The next item of any size was that of $500, which was sent over by Judge Hogan of Lowell as the amount of cash bail bond that had been deposited in his court for the appearance of a defend ant charged with a felony and. for his appearance at the preliminary exami- nation. The defendant, however, after sizing up the justice decided that he would rather lose the amount than take any chances with what the judge might do to him as his liberty was worth something and he could go to work and earn that amount in few months while the action of the judge might put him where he could not earn that amount i'll several years. At any rate the county is ahead that amount. The United States govern r1ent contributed the sum of S23I.50 as the amount of their quarterly rent for the use of the offices of the United States marshal and district attorney in the court house. The district court, through Clerk George B. Wilcox, pald in the sum of s159 collected as fines, while MT. Gaines returned the sum of $40 which the court decided that he was not entitled to under the ruling of the case in regard to salary which was tried in the district court. The balance of the receipts are made up of the fines turned In by the va rious justices of the peace in the county and s160.25 that the probate court received as fees for the month
