COMMISSIONERS
HAVE Redeemed
THE FIRE BONDS

The fire bonds amounting to $5,-
200 have been redeemed. The bonds
are now in County Clerk Miles keep
ing. They were issued in 1905, but
on account of certain legal entangle-
ments, were only recently redeemed,
the premium being per cent and
interest up to date.
1t will be remembered that the wa
ter system provided by means of
these bonds for fire protection was
sold to the Ely Water company for
$4,000. This leaves a surplus of
$492.33, which will probably be
placed in the Ely fire department
fund. The last legislature ratified
the franchise to the water company
and the redemption of the bonds set
ties the affair.

that he had heard the testimony Of
the wronged girl and was satisfied

the most stringent laws. The defen-
.dants are both nearly grown, being
II and 10 years old. while the wrong,
ed girl is only eleven years of age.
