Bill Turned D0wR.-Because a man
is sentenced to the state reformatory
from Scott county is not sufficient
proof, in the estimation of the coun-
ty board, that the man is a legal res
ident of this county This viewpoint
was taken by the board in rejecting
the claim filed by Jones county for
$40 for the care OF Frank Ray, former
ly an inmate of the reformatory at
Anamosa and now confined in the in
sane ward at the Independence state
hospital. Ray came TO Davenport from
Clinton county in 1911 and was arrest
ed shortly afterward for robbing q
| jewelry store. He was convicted on
Nov. /, 1911, and sentenced to the state
reformatory The Scott county board
held that RAY was resident of Clin-
ton county and any bills for his care
should, be filed with the Clinton board
and not with the Scott county board
