COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Big Bunch of Bills and Usual Amount
of Grief.
IN SESSION

Chairman Bond and Commissioner
james Christensen were on hand at
the clerks office, Monday at II
o'clock, but Col. Fugate had not ar
rived. 1t was said that he was on
his way up from Aberdeen in his car,
and they waited. At IL o'clock Col.
Fugate arrived and finding Editor
Trego and Prosecuting Attorney
Adair examining the bills he proceed
ed to enquire into the state of the
county business and was informed
that there was bill from the Bills
garage for 1855 for gasoline and re-
pairs on the county car. He seized
the bill and began reading the items,
and when he came to Zone new radi-
ator" he said, What, new radiator
for our new car! What's the matter
here. Trego, can't you keep the
sheriff from banging that new car to
pieces?' What's this other bill here;
care of indigents, six hundred and
some dollars; board of prisoners,
three hundred and some; hospital
bills for man shot in the ankle; house
rent for the wife of a man charged
with stealing cattle; deputy hire for
the county superintendent to keep
the office open to comply with the
law; old bills presented in new form;
road petitions, overseer's bills,
jurors certificates, etc., ad infinitum
Trego, if you can't keep these bills
down better than this we will have
to fire you and get new man at
the bat"
G. H. Holbrook: Lets do it now.
What's Dooley's phone number; I'll
ring him now and put him to work"
Christensen: Here's another bill
for auto expenses for the sheriff; l
wonder il Trego~ will write this up
as strong as he used to write up the
sheriff's bills. Let's go to dinner
and see about these things after
wards"
After dinner Trego was detained
at his office for some time, and when
he went to the meeting they we're
hearing complaints and petitions, and
the table was crowded, so he decided
to list the bills after the board got
done with them. When that time
came the office force were listing

After the bill was duly examined
and approved it was passed for pay
ment and was regularly registered
and a warrant issued and money in
the public treasury belonging to the
people of Bingham county was used
in payment of the claim, and the
articles named in the bill became the
property of Bingham county, govern
ed by the rules of usage in such
cases and should be turned over to
successor in office.
The term of office for which Mr..
Christensen was elected expired on
the eleventh day of January, 1915,
and on that day his successor took
the oath of office and was entitled to
receive all books, records, plats field
notes and instruments belonging to
the county and to his department, but
delivery of all of the articles named
above was not made nor arranged
for. When demand was made upon
him for such articles as he had in
his possession belonging to the county
he delayed making delivery, saying
he had profile and would deliver it
soon.
When the county clerk wrote to
ask him about the profile, he evident
ly did not know that there was other
that was being Withheld, and
made no demand for it. This paper
has at various and proper times call
ed attention of county officials and
road overseers to the propriety of
turning over all property and chattels
in their possession, either to- the
county or to successors in office or
filing reports showing just what they
had in their possession belonging to
the county. At the close of the ad-
We pressed this matter
upon their attention so that no Of
fetal within the county has reason
to plead he has forgotten or over
looked the matter.

CHICAGO NOLAND
WON'T LEAVE JAIL.
Four Companions Make Getaway,
Although Two Are Brought
Back, Yesgman Is Calm.

Y0RKVILLE. Jan. 2S.-Although
four men escaped from the York
County Jail this afternoon, the fifth
white man In the prison refused TO
take part In the affair and remained
in his cell. while his companions made
q successful dash for liberty.
The fifth man was Thomas holland
alias Chicago Noland," famous in
many States as a yeggman and an
alleged expert at blowing safes and
clipping through Jail bars. holland
was recently paroied by Gov. Blease
while serving a term in the South
Carolina penitentiary and was at once
turned over to federal authorities TO
answer to other charges. He is being
held In the York County Jail to answer
to the charge of robbing a bank al
Fort Mill in 1908. Noland said he
didn't want to go and calmly watched
the other four prisoners break Jail
and make a getaway When the Jail
delivery was dicovered and hurried
investigation made. holland was found

The four men escaping were Jesse

The theory for the escape is that
when the men were fed the inner cell

to have been secured from the bed

Neighbors gave the alarm, cryinh

posse at once instituted a pursuit and
Whitman and Rush ware taken about
two miles from town. The others met
Rush returning to Yorkville. He said
he was on his way to surrender, vol
unteering the information that he
was tired and disgusted with the
whole thing" The other two are still
at large.
Some negro prisoners were in
carcerated In the Jail. but they were
ON the other side, no door being open
for them to find an outlet.

the most gratifying accession of

handicap OF alcohol to any mans

Weekly Cotton Report.

NEW Y0EK. ian. 29.-Cotton has
been less active during the past week
with prices easing OFF some 80 10 40
points from the recent high records
under realizing and scattering local
or Southern pressure. Reports of a
slackenfng export demand and of free
Southern spot offerings have been acs
companied by good deal of renct-
ionary talk in local circles and there
have been predictions that offerings
would become more urgent with the
approach of the planting season.
The census report showing a larg-
er amount OF cotton ginned for the
first half OF January than expected
served to check the recent tendency
to reduce estimates of the condition
and probably shared some of the
later heavy selling noted during the
earlier part Of the week.

New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, Jan: 29.-There was q
renewal of yesterdays late buying
movement in cotton during today's
earlier trading. but prices later weak
ened under rather active liquidation
which seemed to come largely from
Wall Street sources and the close WAS
steady at a net decline of 6 to 10
points.
Liverpool was better than due AM
the local market opened steady at an
advance Of to points. Local spot
houses were buyers while there was
also renewal OF the Wall Street and
Western investment demand and the
market sold about 6 to net higher
late in the afternoon.
Absence of important Southern
selling doubtless encouraged this ad-
vance, appeared to attract Increased
offerings from longs and there was
heavy Wall Street selling.
The market broke quite sharply in
consequence. with October contracts
selling down to 9.14. or 8 points net
lower. The close was steadied by
covering, but~at the days lowest.
The only changes made IN the diff
ferences between old New York
grandes Of spot cotton by the. revis-
ion committee yesterday were redhct-
ions on some of the low grade dis
counts, and as they apply only to de-
liveries on old style February con-
tracts, they attracted little atten-
tton.
Spot cotton quiet; middling up
lands $50: sales 100 bales.
Cotton futures closed steady
