Members of the insanity commission are
in dispute with the county com
missioners over the payment to them OF

sion- today filed an appeal to the district
court, where the question is to be settled.
The commissioners say they cannot be re-
CURED to act without the payment of fees,
and the chances are that IL the county at

law Is defective In not providing for wit
nesses and commissioner fees, the law

VIII not work for nothins.
