Local Officials, Whose Fees Have Not Been Paid, Read
 Ii With Interest.
FLANAGAN DWELLS
 ON CITY ORDINANCES.
Answer Written in Constable Doyle's Case, and Says the Cases Charged for as Grim inal Punishable by City,

Cochise county's answer to the com plaint of Constable Michael Doyle, in which he brings suit for fees dissi- lowed by the Board of Supervisors at a recent meeting. has been received in Bisbee and was yesterday read by Lot only Doyle. but Justices Murphy and Mcdonald and Constable White, all of whom have similar suits.
 Written by District Attorney Elan nigan. the answer was ridiculed to a certain extent by the focal officials, all of whim claim that they are in nc wise uneasy over u e outcome of their litigation with the county. asserting that the Supervisors will not only pay them the full amount of their claims. but interest on the amounts during the time they have been kept out of the money.
 Tho second quarter of 1906 will soon be over. and the local officials are of the opinion that if they cannot get the pending cases to trial, District Attorney Flannigan will again advise the Supervisors not to pay the greater part of the claims that will. be made for fees.
 Justices Murphy and Mcdonald and Constables Doyle and White are ar resting, trying and preparing to make fee claims for cases exactly the same as those declared illegal by ,Flannigan. His action has in no way affected the course they are pursuing, and at the end of the quarter they will put in bills tho saI-e as at the end of the first quarter of this year.
 After the usual perjunctory setting forth of the parties to the suit. Elan nigan's answer to Doyle's complaint against the county for unpaid fees reads as follows:
 q efendant denies the allegations of paragraph III of the complaint.
