DEPUT|ESF FAIL ID
 ENJOY PAY DAY
Ghost Walks for All at Court house, But Not for Sher-
 ifs Force

Pay day at the courthouse yester- day held no joys for Sheriff Harts- fields deputies. for they didn't draw anything,
 Their pay has been held up since December 24 by litigation. However they are expecting favorable de- cisiou today from the supreme court in the case appealed from the de- cision of Judge Dan A. Greene. Judge Greene held that as the deputies serve the whole people their pay should come from the general . fund if necessary. As Judge Greene has a record of few reversals, it is hoped by the sheriff's men that his decision will be upheld and they will get their money by tomorrow.
 Many of the deputies have families to care for and are hard pressed be- cause of the stoppage of pay. They can borrow money but would be forced to pay interest. The supreme court is in session and a decision by tonight is expected in the case.
 The treasurer was busy yesterday paying off the county employees. As today is a holiday. and the banks will be closed the rush for the February Fay was unusually great
