Jesse F. Mcdonald made a good
governor for Colorado, though he
took Office under the hardest of cir

Writes Solicitor Laing He Was Made
to Pay $3.50 He Didn't Owe.
According to a letter Solicitor
General Laing received Sunday A. F..
Alexander, travelling salesman for
an Alabama wholesale firm, had a
sensational and unpleasant expe-
rience at Colquitt, in Miller county,
Saturday.
The drummer's story, as related
to the solicitor, is that he was fol-
lowed into the train by two men and
at the point of pistol made to pay a
livery stable bill of $3.50 he did not
owe. He says that one of the men
held a gun on the conductor of the
train and kept him quiet and passive
while the other covered him (the
drummer) with a. thirty-eight and
persuaded him to fork over the cash.
Solicitor Laing wrote the angry and
aggrieved knight of the grip that the
grand jury would be in session at
Colquitt this week, and he could ap-
pear before that body and relate to
them his troubles.

l14.45, for the support of the schools
OF the county $4,000, while there

excellent showing in his official ca
pacity, as he reports only $201.62
insolvent state tax, $217.95 insolvent
county tax and $82.12 insolvent
school tax.
The tax collector received as COM
pensation for his services $1,456.61,
