Commissioner Ibsen moved that the

for county printing to be furnished
Sheridan County, be accepted.
Commissioner Lundeen offered the
following substitute motion: That in
asmuch as Jos. F. Dolin, the prOprie-
tor of the Plentywood Pioneer Press,
has by his own act admitted that dur
ing a certain period of the World War
a time of National stress and peril, he
did endeavor to cheat, wrong and de-
fraud Sheridan County, Montana, in
that he accepted seed grain from said
county, thru his agent, with intent to
cheat, wrong and defraud such county.
! And that t he said Jos. F. DOlin, did,
when confronted with the facts, as al
legged above, deny each and all of such
allegations, and did deny having re-
ceived from Sheridan County any seed
grain either directly or indirectly; but,
that the said Jos. F. Dolin did at a
latter date, about four years after the
alleged receipt of such seed grain,
agree, thru his attorney Paul Babcock
to reimburse Sheridan County to the
extent of S450.00, part of the amount
claimed due from the said Dolin, and
by him Heretofore denied. The COun-
ty Attorney of this county did accept
such offer of settlement and upon re-
ceipt of the money turned the same
over to the County Treasurer who de-
posted the same to the credit of the
Seed Grain Fund, as evidenced by re-
ceipt No. 1924 issued under date of
December 14th., 1922. All of which
facts should tend to discredit said
bidder and cause the rejection, by this
Board, of his bid Which motion was
lost for want of q second.
