The story is told that in the early

Damage suits were a new thing at
that time, and there were many neigh

hearing. The ingineer swore that he
gave a sharp blast Of the whistle az

farmer knew his justice.

or to the meeting of the commission
ers it was pretty thoroughly under

Immediately after the converting of

two years.
Following the election Of the super

After this was done the regular
routine of business of looking into pc

The new superintendent will take
charge of the work Immediately. In
addition to the superintendent there
are two guards and machine man to
lie elected, all of whom are for two
years These will perhaps not be
taken up for some time, and the pres
cit men in charge will continue to
serve.
English Akin, who is the retiring
superintendent, has been in charge
during the past two years, succeed
ing John Nelson, and has proven one
of the best officials in that depart
ment the county has ever had. His
work has been at the command Of the

his work well is evidenced by the
