Something More Than a Dream.
On the following morning, when
Ulin entered the main cave. Julian
was there to greet her. She extended
her hand to him and smiled as she
spoke. The youthful chieftain was
somewhat pale, but his large, lustrous
eyes burned with a deemed intensity
and the white brow offered a strange
contract to the waving masses of golden
hair. The maiden's smile faded away
when she met the earnest gaze that
was fixed upon her, and her hand
trebled before she withdrew it. He
spoke to her a few words of cheer, ex-
pressed his gratitude that she had
found a place of safety; and hoped
that the future might have no more
clouds for her.

she and Ulin were alone, "how noble

out from a deep reverie.

Ulin hesitated and trembled, and
finally sat down upon the bench from
which the chieftain had arisen. In a

hold to his promise in spite of the
opinion of taxpayers generally.
1t may be of interest to those
who were not present at this meet
ing to note the figures given by
Mr.. Barlow touching the financial
condition of Conejos county ac-
cording to the books of the county
treasurer and the county commits
sioners.
On September 3. 1856. James H.
Morris secured judgment against
Conejos county for S2,23l.17 and
on July %. 1887, another one for
$40, ,7S7.O0. These Judgments We're
issued out of the District court of
Arapahoe county and later man
damus was issued ont of the same
court to compel the county com
missioners to levy tax each year
sufficient to pay 6 per cent interest
on the the principals of these judg-
ments. During the period between
the securing of these judgments
by Morris and the time the bonds
were issued to pay them off, SlO,-
5lS17 had been paid on the prin-
cipal, leavinga Il balance due of S62,-
10000. Bonds were issued on Dec.
|, 1900, at D per cent. interest for
this S62,50O00 judgment which
made a saving to the county of
interest to the amount of S625 90
per year, owing to the interest on
the bonds being l per cent. less
than that demanded on the judg-
ment. On October l. 1899, the
old bonds issued by the county on
September l. 1883, for S60.OOO.OO
were refunded which makes IA total
bondedindebtedness of S122, 10000.
The law declares that county
warrants are not Il debt, as they
are provided for by tax and paid
when the tax is collected. In this
class are the county warrants of

THE FINAL SETTLEMENT.

AT the session of the county com
missioners held at Conejos yester-
day the settlement with Mr.. Fred
Warshauer, the sole responsible
surity upon the bond of Chas. II.
Brickenstein, late county treasurer,
was completed. This settlement
was agreed upon at the public meet
ing Of the taxpayers of the county
called by the commissioners and
held upon Saturday last, in the
District Court room at Conejos.
The meeting was largely attended
by the heavy taxpayers of the
county and upon "A call of the roll
of those present, it WAS unanimous
ly recommended that settlement
be made with Mr.. Warshauer upon
the payment of $4,000. this
amount covering the entire short
age of the late treasurer. outside of
the amount lost by the failure of
the Bank of Alamosa. as well as
embracing about one third of the
amount of the county money on
deposit in the bank when it closed
its doors. As this amount was lost
without any fault of Mr.. Bricken-
stein and is protected by an in
demnity bond signed by some of
the heaviest taxpayers in the coun-
ty it is expected that the full
Amount will eventually be recover
ed.
The total amount of the shortage
as found by the commissioners is
S65, ,055.71 and this amount the
insisted should be
made good to the county. This
has now been done by the agree
ment of Mr.. Warshauer to pay
S52,OOO.OO. S2O.OOO.0O of which has
been paid and an addition
al S20,OOOOO is to be paid within
30 days and the balance within 60
days.
This leaves balance upon the

lected from the assets of the bank
and upon the indemnity bond Civ
en- by the bank. Mr.. Warshauer,
however, has given his written
guarantee that if not so collected
he will pay SlO,0OO.OO of the
amount, the commissioners agree
ing that if more than the actual
shortage of Mr.. Brickenstein is
recovered from all these sources
the balance shall be refunded to
Mr.. Warshauer.
The Chronicle has made thor

county and has been unable to find

Pursuant to published proceed
ings of the Board of County Com
missioners in last week Chronicle.
the Board met at the court house
in Conejos on Saturday, March
oath, 1906. a large gathering of
tax payers was present, so large in
fact. that the commissioners were
compelled to abandon the small
room in which they usually meet
and adjourn to the court room up
stairs. Prominent men from all
over the county Were present and
the meeting was one which makes
history. Especially local history.
The conditions We're and are
such that radical measures were
necessary and it speaks well for the
people of the county that they felt
sufficiently interested in the vel
fare of the people as whole to
give their personal time. money
and attention to public affairs.
Some We're conspicuous by their
absence, and others came only to
fade away at the crucial moment
which tried mems souls. We are
glad to note that these last could
be counted on the fingers of one
hand. Every face indicated its
earnestness and nearly half hour
was occupied in recording the votes
of the taxpayers present and vot-
ing.
People noted with interest and
CONSERVATION that portion of the
record of the proceedings of the
board which stated that Mr.. Brick
enstein was short in his accounts
$50, ,065.71 including his bank fail
ure shortage of SlS.945.S4. 1t is
our opinion that this bank short
age is not properly chargeable to
the bondsman and the vote showed
conclusively that this is also the
opinion of the people. The true
shortage is S46.119.S7 and it seems
unfair to hold Mr.. Warshauer to
his original promise of S62,000.OO,
but he is a man of his word. as
