Major has transferred all of his
property to his wife, both in Sheri-
dan and Roosevelt counties-probably
some wise bird has told him that this
may protect him in case of suits for
recovery that rumor has it, are being
prepared.
Gavin audited several more claims
and the same were passed by the
board on the 18th of August, includ-
ing claims for himself and his wife
for the first Is days in August. Why
they did not wait until the end of
the month is not known. Mrs. Cav
in sits in the "almost-an-auditor's Of
flee and does almost indescribable la
Dor in wading through the columns
of the Ladies Home Journal for the
mere pittance of one hundred and
fifty bones a month from the taxpay-
ers. 1t is reported that the Gavins
are thinking of going to Chicago to
spend the winter as the winters pick
ings in Plentywood are not promising.
The tattlerbird announces that Ma
jor has got sudden attack of cold
feet and dares not issue any more
warrants on claims audited by Gavin.
Just why he should stop now is not
understood, as he will be all blown in
when he gets what he has paid re-
funded to the county. It is said that
he interviewed Gunther, who as usual,
refused to give an opinion, except, af-
ter eating a couple more peanuts, he
ventured the opinion that this county
is in a state of anarchy. Most every
one agreed with him.
Mr.. Gunther has stopped all acti-
vities at his Office but the drawing of
his salary and rent warrants. Other
wise, he says, "My hands are tied.
The voters will unite him about Janu-
airy first. In the meantime it looks as
if the Attorney General will be COM
pclled to intervene to keep the county
from going to ruin.
After the arrest of blindpiggers and
booze runners, it is gossiped about
that Mr.. Cudhie whiles away coasid-
cradle time in bed. Just the thought
OF such things undoes Mr.. Cudhie, he
has such a delicately arranged nervous
constitution.
Mrs. O'Gyady's :;ala.% warrant for
July was cut by "amost-an- auditor"
GAVIN from $1S7.50 to $54.5O. This
indicates that she was paid for ten
days in July. Mrs. O'Gra'ly is thank
full for small favors. Gavin needs the
money worse than she does Ellery
will get about a thousand bones for
his noble work in trying to put her
out of Office.
Jud Matkrs' half brother has
drawn about $4,000 from the road
fund SINCE Mrs. O'Grady was declared
out of office by Jud and Jake Matkins'
horses, handled by his own son, did
the work it is reported. This is the
maiu reason that an effort was made
to :cmove Mr.. O'Grady from office.
Major after allowing and signing
warrants on the road fund for thous-
ands of dollars, gets cold feet and
quits. How much did Major get for
not getting cold feet before the road
and bridge fund was exhausted?
Z. 2. Conner has laid aside for the
:me being the dignity of his office and
IS out hustling votes to beat the band.
nc IS az; busy as a cranberry merch-
ant. 1t is even reported that person
can smoke in hk august presence, and
don't have to ditch his dead stub when
his royal highness approaches. It is
said that he really enjoys rubbing el-
bows with the sodbusters, and that the
common mob of farmers are not 50
bad after all. The honest element in
this community may get almost as
much consideration as the graftors
and hoHsethicves in the way Of cnur-
te*y # the campaign lasts long

me OulJa wireless says that Gig
Cling Ga>vy, before he took the lead
ing part in the farce, "Almostan-
Auditor" staged at the Court House
heatre, was offered very remun
eratlVe situation with show that his
brother is running in Chi, with great
en- compensation than he could get
as the star in the Sheridan county
drama. Giggling Gavvy knew the
stand would be short, not lasting over
f1ve and half months at the best,
ana ms associates are in a quandrv
as to the reason for his not accepting
the stellar appointment at the
.Nutte,y,' where he was good for A
1868 day Il wear run, with no limit on
the wears. Giggling Gavvys friends
are wondering whether there We're
any, side considerations that persuad-
ca him to stick"
