that some people can get out Of the

every shot and lost his wager. Also.

play with one eye covered up. others
who have had but one club against the
full set used by their opponents, and
others who have agreed to put with
nothing but their umbrellas? On one
occasion q golfer played q round with
. champagne bottle against . man
who had all his clubs, and 1t ID . sad
thing to know that It IL on record
that the man with the champagne bot

County Attorney Moore Appeals
IfrOm Action Of Fiscal Court.

An order of appeal was flied Tuesday
in the Bourbon Circuit Court by County
Attorney T., Z. Moore, Jr., appealing
from the action of the Bourbon Fiscal
Court, which on April, passed an or
der legalizing the payment of certain
moneys to magistrates from January,
1902, to January, 1906, for services
rendered the county in the construction
of the court house and remodeling turn
pixies of the county and aggregating
nearly $4,000.
At the time the money was paid out
no order of appropriation was entered
upon the record of the Fiscal Court,
and suit was brought by the county at
torney in the Bourbon Circuit Court
for its recovery, the case being practl-
cally settled by Judge Stout sustaining
the demurrer to the amended answers
of the defendants who, upon the adjourn
ment of court, were granted thirty
days further time in which to amend.
The Ficsal Court then sought by the
order of April 4 to legalize the claims
in an effort to save the defendants
from the apparent technicality, which
will again be submitted to Judge Stout
at the June term of Court as a result
Of the appeal filed Tuesday.

Of Danyilie, Just after the eloquent

responded and when they passed the

There was no fire, false alarm, and
now the Fairbanks crowd claim the
