The Jail Deal.

In 1910, the democratic board OF
county commissioners on the advice of
w. d. Kelsey, their county attorney,
made a levy of tax for Jail fund. The
republican board the following year fol-
lowed the precedent and made similar
tax levy.
In 1918 the democrats again had con.
troll of the county board with W. d.
Kelsey as their attorney and he was al
so deputy district attorney. Mr.. Kel'
sey demanded that the borrd furnish a
Jail for prisoners and the board decided
to either buy or build Jail. A promi.
pent democratic official suggested that
possibly they could buy the bank build
ing formerly occupied by the Phillips
County State Bank. They consulted
with the vice president of the bank who
made them price on the property.
They consulted their attorney, Mr.. Kel-
sey, in regard to the matter, he drew
them contract for the purchase of the
property and, as we are credibly inform
ed, assured them that he considered the
purchase OF the property wise step
for them. Unfortunately for them,
they had not consulted Boss White and
his bank. The strings were pulled and
"Boss Bobbie" began to dance and tear
his hair and threaten dire punishment
for the commissioners if they carried
out their contract for the purchase q
the property, even threatening them.
Ms we are informed, with recall proceed
ure. The commissioners stood pat, a
council of war was held and the county
ty attorney who had drawn the contract
and recommended the purchase WA
called upon to come to the rescue. Be
ing u very accommodating official, hi
promptly responded to the cry. As deI
uty district attorney he gave the eoun
ty board an opinion to the effect tha
the Jail fund levies had all been illegs

This opinion coming from their lega
adviser. storped the commissioner
from proceeding any further under 'hei
contract Of purchase. The board wa
later advised by their attorney thn
though the Jail fund was an Illegal lev

The contract price for the properi
was $4,000 but the bank was to max

cost about $500 leaving net consider

property as "old junk" but all VII

over year after due. He extended
this favor to W. D. Kelsey on valua-
BILE piece Of town property, carrying it
not for one year but for four years in
succession without advertising the prop
erty. Did Kelsey, by reason Of this
fact, own the county treasurer? This
democratic treasurer even favored DR..
Smith more than they charge Colver
with for he carried him over to Sep.
tember 1909 for his payment of 1907
taxes without selling the property. Did
DR.. Smith own the democratic county

made. 1t seems that nothing is too
rotten for the bunch who are after the
