Notice to X Payers.

This is the last year and the begin
ming of the last month Of my term of Office
as Sheriff and Tax-Collector. 1t has
been the custom to pay the outgoing
tax-collector all taxes for the current
year before the expiration of his term
for SO long that l deem it only neces-
sary to call attention to this fact.
l have been lenient as possible in the
past three years and think that one
year of promptness would be a fair ex-
change; if you think SO, l hope you will
put me to work right away, as it will
take a month Of steady work to wait on
everybody.
Your land receipts are all made out
ana it will require very little of your
time and not much money to call and
settle. Respectfully,
S. z. PROPHET,
Sheriff and Tax Collector.

Finally, the men agreed to submit
the matter to arbitration. Judge
James Phelan was appointed by the
men to represent them as arbitrator,
while the ID. u. r. chose Attorney
