OLD CLAIMS.
1t seems there is some attorney at
Washington, ID. G., who Is wanting a
fee for looking after certain claims
that he says are in sight there where
by this county can secure certain sums
of money. An order was passed aug
thorizing Judge Burnett to employ an
attorney to look after the said claims,
If in his judgement such course is ad-
visable, but IN no event is the county
to be liable for any costs or attorneys
fees. 1t seems the lawyer will not tell
what the claims are or give any lnfor-
nation until he is employed. lndica-
tlons are that 1T is fraud and Judge
Burnett is not at all liable to engage
| the lawyer or any other person on any
such flimsy grounds.

the purchase of the land was rendered
necessary because no satisfactory
terms could be arranged with any land

rock. 1t is the purpose OF the commit
tee to charge residents SIC ton and
non-residents Sl.25 until such a time
as 1t becomes apparent that a less
charge can be safely made.
