BRIDGE QUESTION
IS DECIDED
Fallon County Gets Decision That
ls Not Favorable

The following is an extract of
the opinion on the bridge ques-
ton as relating to the adjust
ment of the differences between
Fallon and Custer counties.
The committee appointed by the
Governor to settle the affairs of
the parent county and the new
ly born" are still busy and it is
expected that it will be several
days yet before they complete
their duties. Attorney Booth
of Baker has been retained by
Fallon County to represent them
in any matters that are in doubt.
Going back to the bridge propos-
ition, here is the opinion from
headquarters
A public bridge is in no sense
an asset. It is rather a liability,
for it is continuing expense.
In an opinion rendered yester-
day by Attorney General D. M.
Kelly, in reply to a question by
G. r. Tisor. county attorney of
Custer county, as to whether
bridges should lie taken into ac-
count in the division of county
property between ethe old and
the newly created county, the
foregoing is the reply.
The opinion was given to settle
a question which arose as a re-
suit of the creation of Fallon
county, and relating to the ap-
portionment of the indebtedness
between the counties of Custer
and Fallon, where there exists a
bonded indebtedness for the
special purpose of construction
of bridges. The question is:
Are the bridges themselves to
be taken into consideration as an
asset of the old county in deter
mining the liability Of the re-
spective counties upon the bond
issue, where such bonded ir-
debtedness. or a portion thereof.
exists at the time of the creation
of the new county,"
What dominion does a county
exercise over public bridges, ex-
cept in a governmental capacity?
Public bridges are constructed
from public moneys by the c Jun
ty, acting as a governmental arm
of the state, and for the free use
Of the public. Restrictions in
their use, if they exist at all,
emanate not from county orders,
but by authority of state law.
The county has no greater right
to the use of the bridge than
has the general public and the
bridge as such has no value
whatsoever. except as a part of
the public highway. The estate
or ownership Of the county is no
greater than that Ot a trustee
holding, protecting and main
tanning the property for the free
use of the general public, which
includes the inhabitants of both
the new and old county, after
division as we'll as before.
There is not any statute de-
claring a public bridge to be pro-
perty separate and distinct from
the rest of the highway. The
ownership Of the entire highway,

including the bridge, rests with

more proprietary interest in a
public bridge than it has in any
other section of the public high
way. True, bridges may require
special care and attention and
supervision, and So may a cut,
fill, tunnell or trestle. Special
taxes may be levied or special
bonds issued for bridge purposes
and law might also authorize
the same thing to be done rela-
tive to any other specific section

proprietary interest and owner

construction of a bridge. both
before the bridge is constructed

used as a bridge, but the same
is likewise true Of any foreign

A SILVER ran through the
crowd. The words, "Mahbub is

veil which obscured the tragedy.
Surely it was clear enough, now;
here was man killed by Thug
gees peculiar method, and here
was the Thug. 1t was as simple
as two and two!
Goldberger seemed perplexed.

attendant" he said. "Will you

Silva bowed his consent.
The coroner opened an envelope
which lay on the table at his ell

the witness.
Silva spoke to his servant, hold

and to bed.
1t was not quite 10 o'clock
when Godfrey, Swain and
reached Elmhurst next morning.
Goldberger was there, with
Freylinghuisen his physician, his
clerk, his stenographer and the
men who were to constitute the
jury; Slmmonds was there, and
with him was an alert little man
in glasses, who, Godfrey told me
in an aside, was Sylvester, the
head of the Identification bureau,
and the greatest expert on finger
prints in America.
A moment later, a string of
automobiles puffed up the drive
and disgorged a mob of reporters
and photographers.
The court was established on
the lawn amid the circle of trees.
Godfrey was the first witness,
and told his story much as he
had told it the night before. / fol-
lowed him, but contributed no
new details.
Then Humans name was
called. and an officer hurried
away to the house after him.
They returned together almost at
once, and Human was placed on
the stand.
Then the servants were called,
but their evidence was unim-
portant.
Then a movement Of interest
ran through the crowd, for q po-
liceman came from the direction
of the house accompanied by two
strange figures. One was the
yogi, in robes of dazzling white;
the other his attendant.
The yogi bowed to Goldberger
with grave courtesy, and, at a
word from the attendant police
man, sat down in the witness
chair.
Hold W. your right hand,
please" began Goldberger.
"An oath is unnecessary, said
the yogi, with a smile. ITO speak
the truth is required by my re-
ligion."
There was something impress
sive in the words, and Goldberger
slowly lowered his arm.
