says she writes madame's articles on

Well, the process of the courts was
most unjust, because

COMPANY IS RELEASED.
Dixie Contractors Must Find Some
other Security.

Acting with the advice of the county
attorney, the county commissioners
today relieved the Southwestern Sc
curity Insurance company of any wor-
ry in connection with the withdrawal
of their bond for the construction of
the south side dixie, by refusing it on
the grounds of faulty form.
The bonds securing Haskins &
Ramsey, the contractors, were for
$4,000. They were received a week
ago but final action on them was de-
layed until today. Meanwhile the
company refused to acknowledge the
business written by their Kansas City
agent and filed an order for the return
of the bonds with the clerk of the
district court. For a time it was
thought an attempt would be made to
hold the company to the bonds.
