CASE WILL 60 TO
THE COUNTY BOARD

In the case of Sauk County VS..
County Clerk S. II. Wood, the bill of
exceptions has been received by Clerk
of Court A. H. Clark. 1t will be re-
called the county board of supervis-
ors brought an action to recover about
$1,000 which the clerk had collected
as fees for hunting licenses. The fol-
lowing appears in the bill of excep-
tions as given by Judge Stevens, be-
fore whom the case was heard:
Neither the statutes relating to
the compensation of the county
clerks nor the resolutions of the
county board gave defendant any
right to retain the fees here in
question. But the legislature by
chapter 172 Laws of 1913, has le-
galiZed the retention of these fees
and given defendant the legal
right to retain all the fees here
in question.
The matter will go before the
county board in November and the
members will decide whether or not
the case shall be appealed to the SUI
preme court AS will be seen by the
decision, Judge Stevens holds that
neither the statutes relating to the
compensation of county clerks nor
the resolutions of the county board
gave the defendant any right to re
tain the fees in question before the
law was passed in 1913" According
to an opinion of the attorney general
the clerk had no right to retain the
fees after that time. Since there is
no unanimity of opinion on the matter
the decision of Judge Stevens will be
given to the board and the members
will then determine whether or not
to take the case to the highest court
in the state.

Will Force Action.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The admin istrations determination to force ac- tion as a part of its Pan-American policy on the treaties with Columbia and Nicaragua held up for more than two years spurred Democrats of the Senate Foreign Relations committee to fix next Wednesday as the day for a vote on the Columbia treaty regard less of results.
 Some of the senators today predict ed that both treaties would be recom- mended for ratification but both Demo- crats and Republicans have doubts re- garding the reception in the senate. Opposition to the Colombian treaty proposing to pay Colombia S25,000,000 for the separation of Panama with an expression of regret that anything had happened to marr the relations between the two countries and the Nicaraguan treaty proposing to pay $3,000,000 for an option on canal route and a naval base in Fonseca Bay is likely to be vigorous and extended.

Smith. who said: "The poor fellow pleaded guilty of both offenses, and was sentenced to the penitentiary for a number of years. He has already served one year of his time, which l think will be sufficient punishment for him." He was charged with having stolen two watches worth $15 each. Petitioners said he had a wife and child in Memphis virtually depen- dent upon the good people of that city and the charitable association"
 When Gov. Hays started to issue the pardon, and called the peniten- tiary for the convict's record, he found that the prison authorities had hold order for Umstead He was held five days after the pardon was issued, and the Crittenden county officials notified so that when he stepped from the prison he was taken into custody, and returned to Marion for trial.
