tice Court Fees and Fines Collected:
1878, Hopes: s74s.35 for two
years.
1890. Barber: s30o3.22 for two
years.
1922. Davis: s5O91.S 80 for one and
one-half years.
The Herald forgets. perhaps inten-
tionally, that there is a vast differ
ence between fines and fees "AS-
SESSED" and the State Examiners
statement of COLLECTED fees and
fines covered into the treasury"
Some fines may have been assess
ed" and thereafter RENTED by the
court, that is. ordered not to be col
lected nor paid into the county treas
ury.
Other fines may have been assess
ed" and thereafter may not have
been collected because the person
against whom they were assessed
may have preferred to lie them out
in the county jair' and by this pro
cess to keep from %enriching the coun
ty treasury and on the other hand in,
crease the criminal cost including the
board Of prisoners.
The Enterprise still contends that
its figures involving aggregate costs
Of sheriff, criminal expense, district
court. clerk OF court, justice court
and prosecuting attorney; less the
district court fines COLLECTED, cor
rectly give net costs heretofore stat
ed for corresponding Is months peri
DDS to be:
Hopes: net cost ,643.0S
Barber: net cost ----------$16.269.02
Davis. net cost -----------$22,0S6.b
The above figures ore based on
figures obtained from the State Elk
aminer's office.
However, another step toward de-
creasing the net cost to the county
will be hereafter set forth.
From the last above three amounts
there will also be deducted the CORE
spending justice court fees and fines
collected during the similar N cor
responding periods. as follows:
First Is mos. Hopes: $14643.-
OS, less justice court fees and
fines COLLECTED, S3S0.90,
net cost to county ------s14,262.1S
First Is mos. Barber: s16,269.-
OF, less justice court fees and
fines COLLECTED $671.05,
net cost to county ------$15, 597.97
First IS mos. Davis: $22086.65,
less Justice court fees and
ines COLLECTED s6oS.15,
net cost to county -------S21,47s.5o
Similarly, comparing the actual
full two-yeaf. terms of both Hopes
and Barber with what will probably
be the results FOR the full two-year
term as estimated for Davis gives
these results:
Total aggregate cost law en-
forcement 1878 for two
whole years, Hopes: cost
ST., 22S. 01, less total aggre-
gated district court and JUS
tice court fines and fees COL
LECTED $748.35, gives mini
mum net cost to county--$16479.66
Total aggregate cost law en-
forcement 1920 for two
whole years, Barber: cost,
S24204 "a, less total aggregat-
ed district court and justice
II fines and fees COL
LECTED $3003. %, gives mini
mum net cost to county--$212O1.12
Total aggregate cost law en-
forcement 1921 and first half
of 1922, for n and one-half
years, Davis: cost $22O36.s5'
plus the salaries and usual
expenses for sheriff, clerk of
court, prosecuting attorney,
and justice court fees and
fines during the uncomplet-
ed period July 1, 1922, to jan
, 1922-11-15

highly esteemed residents OF that

, 1922-11-15

From the above figures 1t will be
readily shown that the Enterprise
was correct in saying the aggregate
district court fines COLLECTED and
covered into the treasury" Were:
In 1917 and 1918 when Hopes
was sheriff ---------S 1900
In 1919 and 1920 when Barber
was sherif --------------S2iSs.lf
In 1921 and 1922 while Davis
has been sheriff ----------$4fo5.oo
The above correct figures for dis
trict court fines covered into the
treasury. namely, $4,000, under
Hopes are for two whole years;
$2,0e7.17 under Barber are for two
whole years; whereas the S4,4S3.65 un'
der Davis represents only N year ana
a half, the balance off 1922 being still
Incomplete
The Herald's corresponding incor'
rect fgures-Hoopes: fees and fines
ASSESSED, $330.70; Barber, fees and
fines ASSESSED. $~2,329.25; Davis:
have been gathered from the stars
in order t o bedazzle the ayes of the
reader and to befog his intellect.
The Herald's figures for fees and
fines ASSESSED" are also erroneous
even If the corresponding justice
court fees and fines covered into the
treasury are added to the district
court fines COLLECTED, with the
following correct results, to-wit:

In order to falsify all logical con-

of county government having relation
to law enforcement the Northern Wy
oming Herald set up the following
figures:

The deductions obtained from the
above figures are not correct as pre-
pared by the Northern Wyoming Her

The only amounts in the NHeraid's
calculations are:

Barber: Cost --------sS423.11
Davis: Cdst --------------$9742.56

Minot- Carpio Party Spent Night at
De MOres Chateau in Bad Lands

Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Rasmussen ac-
companied Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar He
rum and daughter Of Carpio on a
very enjoyable auto trip to the Bad
Lands in southwestern North Dakota
last week. The party went to Medora,
N. D., and spent night in the fam
Gus Marquis de Mores Chateau, which
is now being operated as a tea room
and 'hostelry by Mrs. Foley, mother
of James Foley, North Dakota's we'll
known poet.
AS most Of our readers know, Mar
quis de Mores, wealthy Frenchman,
came to North Dakota in 1882, spent
million dollars building a packing
plant at Medora and established re-
tail stores thruout the west. His VEN
ture was equally as great failure as
the Equity Packing plant at Fargo,
! built nearly forty years later. The
Marquis had built wonderful Cha
teau which himself and wife occupied
for about three years. His wife was
the daughter of New York banker
named Hoffman and she had met the
Marquis in Paris, where she went to
study music. The Marquis lost his
life while in South Africa some years
ago and his wife passed away about
