State. The State has borrowed, on
seperate notes, the sum Of 100000.
at the rate of 41-2 per cent, the.
notes running until January. TINS
money is needed for pensions and
other expenses, as the States income,

out the State at 4 per cent. and at

We deplore violence in such cases.

not to see things his way, but there
are points involved in this business
that he doesn't know anything about,
and we, unfortunately, have no time
to lay them before him."
The sheriff's seeming satisfaction
with his position on the wall and his
disposition to parley had begun to
arouse my suspicious, and Larry sew

the absurdity of discussing my affairs
with person whom he insisted on
