sioner, on charges of accepting fees
Tor work not contemplated by the
statutes relative to the duties o1
county commissioners were prejudi.
cial to Russell's defense and his con-
viction has been reversed by the state
supreme court Russell died last SEN
tember, two years and half after
the action was begun.
Considering the instructions in the
light Of testimony, the court says,
I'VE think the defendant was virtu-
ally deprived Of the defense of good
faith"
While Russell cannot be reinstated
as q member of the board, the court
points out that inasmuch as he pur-
sued his defense during his lifetime
and it was continued on order of his
administrator, it cannot be said that
he .acquiesced in his REIMBURSEMENT Of
his official position and therefore his
estate is entitled to the per diem and
mileage in question as we'll as to the
emoluments acr7uing to him between
the date of his removal and his death.
Russell was ousted as county COM
missioner of Sanders county on the
ground that he had collected illegal
fees. The action was one Of those
which brought about changes by the
last legislature in the law fixing the
duties of county commissioners per
.mitting them to draw compensation.
Russell was charged with collecting
pay as county commissioner for work
on roads, timber cruising and with
accepting reimbursement for attend
ing county commissioners associa-
tion convention. He answered admit
ting receipt of the several amounts,
but declaring that he had given the
county full value for the money and
that his acceptance of the money, II
improper, was through honest mis-
take. He appealed from the convic-
tiop and judgment ousting him from
office.

succession. Frost was out on person
ais and 1Tipp came into the game
for Eureka. The third quarter ended

Both teams came back strong the
last and final quarter, Libby making
two fields and foul shot putting
the local boys one in the lead when

against Libby's five but those four
men chose "Do not give up the ship"
for their motto and waded into the
game harder than ever. Libby made
a field goal. Soon after Eureka made
foul but still leaving the Libby
boys two in the lead. The last 80
seconds of play held the crowd spell
