The present good roads bond issue has caused more wrangle in Perry county than any single issue in many years. The available money was small iI considera- ton of the miles of road, and this fact caused every one to want some of this bond issue spent at his front gate. The result Is part of the bond money is lying in bank and the county paying interest on this money as well as large engineers salary. Some of the banks that hold this money on deposit are loanng money back to the county to pay current and court expenses.

clared before the committee that he
never knew that the participation of

Representative McGillicuddy of Maine
sought to show that he had recon-
mended to President Mckinley the ap-
pointment Of Knox after the latter. as
counsel for his company, had LETT him

statutes so many years.

The court held that when Burns and
James Hosick, "A detective of Los An
geles. arrested McNamara on a.
requisition from the governor of Cali
fornia and honored by the governor
of Indiana, they acted legally under
the federal statutes and any conflict
In the state law with the federal law,
which made it possible to bring an
indictment, was not constitutional.
The federal constitution and congress,
the court said, had delegated to the
governor Of the state the power of
honoring acquisitions for fugitives
from justice and the Indiana legisla-
| ture had no legal right to take this
power from the governor and add 1t
to the duties of IA county judge. The
indictments against Burns and Hosiclf
had alleged that Mcnamara was
denied a right to resist eXtradition In
Il county court.

fled, began at the Chicago conven-

me that he had no objection IL / voted

about driving you out of the party
asked Senator Kern.
II don't think / ever talked to him
I'm my life," replied Mr.. Lorimer. but
what happened afterward verified

the latter withdrew before the caucus

but were willing to support him. were
very bitter. He never indicated wha
his grievance was and he never con
