Of Somerset county made between $4,000 and 100000 out
OF one kind of fee, in the year ending last April
Every time this sheriff appointed a coal company en-
poye to act as deputy sheriff. the coal company paid
him fee Sometimes dollar. Sometimes 50 cents
When they came in big patches the smaller fee was ac
cepted The coal operator, of course paid the deputy
