commissioners REFUSE TO.
ISSUE FREE seed GRAIN
STATES ATTORNEY HOLDS THAT
THE APPLICATIONS ARE ALL
VOID.
Fence Across North Road Will Prob
ably 1e Removable Business 10
Transacted Tuesday Afternoon.

The county commissioners were in
session Tuesday morning and tran.
sacted considerable routine business.
The states attorney filed written
opinion that the commissioners could
not legally furnish seed grain under
the law. There are some eighty-flve
applications and in looking them over
it is evident that feed is scarcer than
seed grain. One man wanted thirty
five bushels of seed wheat and $500
pounds of feed to put it in with. An
other party had seed enough for 800
acres and wanted seed for 100 acres
that he could lease. Many of the
applicants are very deeply in debt
and are mortgaged for all their prop
erty would bring. 1t is doubtful II the
county would ever get much of it's
money back It is too late to ad-
vertise for bonds and to buy seed,
even though it were legal.
The matter of removing the fence
built by George Gussner across the
road which runs from the north to
the city was presented to the COM
missioners on behalf Of many farm
ers north of the city, by s. Harris.
The road fenced off by Mr.. Guss-
ner is county road and was used
by the farmers for many years until
fenced of a few years ago. The road
no doubt will be opened shortly. The
commissioners did not meet Tuesday
afternoon, but will finish their work
this afternoon.

BRIGH1BILL PREPARING .
GLANDERED HORSE CLAIMS
CLAIMS MUST DE- PREPARED IN
PROPER FORM TO SECURE
RECOGNITION.
State Appropriated 10000 for Pur-
pose-$e7, 900 Has Already Been
AlIowed-some Would Buy Claims.

State Auditor Brightbill is prepar-
ing the matter Of glandered horse in.
demnity for the consideration of the
state auditing board and within a
week Or so the claims now on file
will be audited and warrants drawn
to cover them, under the appropria-
ton of $4,000 made by the legis-
lature.
There are at the present ime about
$4,000 of these claims on file and
more are being received from time
to time. 1t is believed the total
claims filed may exceed the total of
the appropriation, but they will be
paid in the order filed and approved
The matter is one requiring consid-
cradle care in detail as the papers to
be filed under the law are rather
vQluminous in order to insure the pre-
sentatiOn of valid claims only. A.
ter the papers are checked and pre-
pared they will be passed upon sep
arately by the auditing board.
State Auditor Brightbill has taken
stes in the past few weeks to notify
holders Of these claims of the appro-
priation and the formalities that
"OuAO VIC AOCCo00A ~ OIucE 70 OOJ8lu
payment of the bills. The claims come
from all parts Of the state and cover
the two years last past under the
law passed by the Tenth assembly
Of the legislature, but the appro-
priation feature, which was held by
Attorney General McCue to be un.
constitutional. f
The appraised value Of the horses
for which claims are now on file is
$4,000, and the amount allowed by
the law is $1,000, Auditor Brightbill
has also taken steps to varHy the
postofice addresses Of persons having
claims in order that no checks may
be lost.
The fact that certain persons in
the state are seeking to buy these
claims at fifty cents on the dollar
is responsible for the desire of the
state auditor to get quick action on
the claims, lest persons not knowing
the facts may assign their claims and
receive only half the sum to which
they are entitled.

has been shown, was discourteous in

Senator Stone gave his version OF
the AFFAIR. He said he had given
Brown an order for some luncheon
and also for drink The latter was
not brought as he had requested and
he sent Brown To correct his mistake.
Still the order was not properly filled
and Brown, when reprimanded. was

.ENGLAhD Is ON
! VERGE OF OIL WAR
Standard Co. and Competitors at
Odds On Price of Product-Truce
Will Expire in Short Time.

LONDON. July 29.-All efforts 10
patch up the old agreement between
the STANDARD Oil Co. and its English
competitors have failed and the two
sides are today resting under truce
which Will expire within short time.
Then the English companies must
either come 10 the Standards terms
or engage In a rate war that threatens
10 be fought 10 the end. Indications
are today that the English companies
will fight
The Anglo-American Oil Co. which
Is the Standard in Great Britain,
holds the strategic position and Is
said to be anxious for the night. The
English concerns frankly say they will
be satisfied with peace that brings
an equal division Of the trade.
For years the American company.
the Home Light Co. and the British
Petroleum Co, both British concerns.
have practically controlled the oil
trade OF England. Under the agree
meht entered into by them, the price
Df oil was maintained at standard
ngure. The agreement ended In June
and the Anglo-American Co. refused
TO renew II.
Instead II offered the retailer a
contract giving reduction OF one
cent a gallon. The retailer would
have welcomed the reduction but for
q clause In the contract imposing "A
penalty OF ~ cents on every 40 gal
Ions OF oil obtained from other
sources.
The Home Light and the British
Petroleum rushed in with contracts
Offering the same reduction, but with
out the penalty clause. and rate
war was launched. The step, however.
was ill-advised. No one liked working
on a contract In the oil business 10
England. The price varies but little
and any change equally means an in
crease. The contract, therefore, Is
likely to prevent the wholesaler frori
profting by a rising market. The
three companies declared a truce and
agreed to stop giving the retailers
contracts for the present. They We're,
however, unable to a gree on the fu-
ture price. Should one company lower
it's price gigantic war will be pre-.
'cipita;ed.
