filed a claim against the county for the
board of men arrested, but who never
spent one hour in the county jail In
his list of January guests are included
Wood Fowler, Fred Ross, E. R Bar
Der and Frank Fulton, proprietors and
employees of the Chesterfield hotel.
Also the names of A. F. Colson and 7.
F. Daugherty, proprietors of the
Throop hotel These men were arrest
ed and injunctions asked for violations
of the prohibitory law, but they imIne-
diately gave bond.
While checking another bunch of
June claims, Auditor J. E. Larimer to-
day found a claim by Norton of 1855
for the arrest of Charles Heck in
Omaha. The costs in the arrest were
paid bv Heck'S bondsmen and the en-
tire claim went to the waste basket.
Sheriff Norton's Statement.
Asked by the State Journal today for
a statement concerning the charge of
filing Illegal claims against the county,
Col. Norton gave the following signed
interview:
Permit me to say in reply to your
article yesterday, that all fees of the
sherin's office are regulated by Law
see Chap. 304, Kansas laws of 1903. The
mileage is 10 cents for every mile or
fraction thereof, and is used by the
The records are public.
THE insane cases and others before
the probate court, marked 'disalloWed
by county auditor were subsequently
decided by the probate judge to be col
lectable from the estates or bondsmen,
therefore not necessary for the county
to pay. But when the returns were
first made they were supposed to be
county cases.
"I regret that some of the county Of
ficials are disappointed because the
court decided a recent lawsuit in my
favor. I venture to say that the su-
preme court will confirm it-also settle
the mileage question.
1T seems to me that politics is at the
bottom of this whole matter-but abuse
and slander through the papers seldom
accomplish the purpose intended.
your truly, J. D. NORTON
June 30, 1911"
When asked concerning the charges,
]. f. Larimer, county auditor, stated:
Il don't think it is becoming or
necessary for me to say anything. Ny
action in the matter shows clearly how
feel and just what I think"

Squire Guest is very popular, made

1t is understood that friends OF

The publication in The Herald OF
Saturday of the Dedman ticket has
aroused considerable interest in l. cal

ENORMOUS LOSS BY

TOTAL LOSS BY FLAMES IN THIS
STATE WAS PROBABLY HUN.
DRED MILLION.
TWO FIfTHS WIRE INSURED
Wind Storms and Tornadoes Also Did
Much Damage to Property and Live
Stock Since 1ss5-lnterestina Fig
ures Given Out.

The enormous loss suffered in Ten
nessee from fires and storms in the
last twenty-five years has just been
announced by an insurance firm. The
amount of damage done by fires
which was covered by insurance is
of course only a partial amount OF the
actual value of the property destroy
ed, and it is probable that $1O0,OO0.000
worth OF property have gone up I'm
smoke in this State since 1880, The
fire insurance companies Of this
country have paid to Tennesseans a
total of $42,S14,913 in, that time.
The loss by wind storms and lorna
does in the State were easier to COM
pute. In the last twenty-five years
there, have been lat severe wind
storms in the State, which did total
damage to property of $976,000.
There were fourteen tornadoes during
the period, which destroyed property
valued at $653,OO0, and live stock val
ued at s195,O00.
During the last quarter century,
there have been forty-one confagra-
lions, which destroyed more than
three buildings. 1t is impossible to
figure the number Of smaller fires.
But little of the property destroy
ed by the wind storms and tornadoes
was insured, the amount being prob
ably one-fourth of the damage. The
total loss to the State by these stolm ms
was $1,S24,O0O, less than one-twenti-
eth of the amount lost in fires.
