we secured what we believed to
be the best advice available, and
acted upon it in such manner as
we thought would best serve the
public interests and we feel that
no honest man will criticise us
for so doing.
In this connection we mention
the fact that every bill allowed
by the Board was verified upon
oath by the claimant, and only
allowed after proper consideration
and investigation. The oath to
the bill certainly should count for
something. We do not believe
anyone, either the sheriff or any
one else, Intentionally presented
a bill which was untrue or incor-
rect. In this connection we call
attention to the following state
ment of the expense of conduct
ing the sheriff's Office for the past
twelve years, and also fines and
costs collected and expense of in
sane and paupers collected.
For sheriff's, deputies, bailiffs'
and jailer's fees, guards and as
sistants, boarding prisoners, trav-
cling expenses of sheriff and
prisoners and constable's fees and
collecting taxes, Roberts county

that the charges made by one c.
r. Jorgenson are not true. stat
ed that in Jorgenson's articles he
sometimes lied outright and
sometimes told only half the
truth, half the truth being worse
than lie, and that at all times
he so twisted and distorted the
facts that he had given that it
is not the truth. Agreeably to
that promise, l submit to you the
following facts:
The Bailly Case.
In the paper edited by Mr..
Jorgenson on January 18TH the

present prices for livestock of all
kinds are abnormally high. Yet the
American Meat Packers association
reports that the farmers not only are
not increasing their production of
meat food animals, but that such pro-
