The llttlo room off the county auditor's of flee was crowded yesterday morning when the supervisors opened up their session , which , It had been announced , was to bo for the express purpose of Investigating some rumors of gross crookedness that hnvo boon multiplying ivlth considerable rapidity dur ing the lust few days , ngalnst Justice I'atton In connection with the affairs of his ofllco. Some of the chnrgoj that hnvo been mndo against him were given In ycsterdny's ' BKE nnd according to an Invitation , widen hud been extended to him , to bo present and glvo whut Information ho might hnvo nt hand on the matter , Jus tice Pntton took his place fn the center of iho room with n face very rod nnd n manner very excited , nnd prepared to meet tbo shower of Interrocatorles that were soon to bo hurled nt hh head by County Attorney Organ. The llrst tbtng that happened nttcr the board ( jot down to business wns the uno placing Chief of Police Gary , Ofllcor A. J. Wyatt , Justice \V. W. Cones and Samuel Haas on the stand. Various < ] ucstlons were put to them nil , but no information was elicited from any of them thnt would lead to startling results. After the chief of uollco hud been questioned and cross-questioned at KOUIO length with a view to llmllng out , If possible , whether or not theto had been n bargain entered into between himself nnd Justice Pulton , the object of U'hUtins to declare n dividend on the city funds , nntl in reply to all the questions the chief had niain- tamcd a discreet and clain-llke silence , ho was ordcicd to depart nml Justice Pntton was called to the stand In his own interest. Ileloro the questlonine commenced ho said he wanted to make n short statement with regard to some of the charges that had been published against him in the newspapers , lie stated that n churgo hud been made ngalnst him that ho had entered up both a dismissal and a Judgment leo in n number of ca-cs. Hn then referred to a number of cases whuh ho said ho had selected at random from the docket of his predecessor , In in which tlio same thing had been done and the fees charged had been allowed by the board. IIo thought ho was doing right when ho followed in the footsteps of foimcr Jus tices. Ho asked the county attorney if this had not been done , nnd was nnswered by Organ that ho know nothing about former i-nscs. Ho also recited a case from the docket ot Justice Siburwhcio there was a trial too and a whole lot of continuances charged for , and said that oatof all the fees in the case. > 1I'JO ) wns for Deputy .Marshal ' Fowler. I These fees were allowed. The records of the board weio produced nnd it was found that Fowler's fees in ttio case re ferred to had been rejected. County Allotney Organ at loncth com menced the questioning. The result of it was substantially ns follows1 Ptitton admitted nt the start thnt hu had often entered a fee for the dismissal of n case where the defendant could not bo found , and ho had done so.nol fortho puiposo of robbing the county , but because ho honestly thought ho wns entitled to It. His nrodeeessors had been dcnolt.wlth probably nota single excep tion , end their bills had tuvnjs bcun allowed. Ho took his cue from them and thought ho ought to tnuot with the same reception from the board. A number of cases \\eto brought to the at tention of tlio Justice in which ho had tried ccitain parties who had been arrested on the same criminal charge at the same time , hut ho had taxed up costs ns tluniL-h they had tried separately. Ho was asked what be had meant by such n proceeding. IIo said ho was not running a high-toned court llko that of Judge MiOco or Judge Uoemor , but ho was in it to earn his living , and ho had entered up the costs with the distinct purpose of making them us much ns possible , cr , as ho stated it , "to in crease the emoluments of his ofllco. " The salary connected with the oftlco was small enough nt best , nnd lie would not think of giving n clerk of his as small a salary ns he was gottluc1 , qvcn when nil the perquisites were thrown in. Other cases were brought up , In which Constable Austin was represented as the person malting the arrest , when in fact the arrest had been mndo by a member of the police department. Pntton snld that ho had done this because the county would not have ) to pay nny fees if the urrOht were made by n policeman , and he thought that would not bo exactly fnlr. He thought thnt as the county was there for that purpose , it woufd bu throning awnv n golden opportu nity not to mnke It pay for all the services which could in any way bo performed by any of Its odlcers. Ho had asked the county attorney to instruct him in the matter of fees nt the time when he took his oath of ollicc , but thnt ofllcinl had neglected to do so. Tno county attorney snld thnt thostatutoflxcd the fee business in such iiuinistalcablo terms that ho did not think It necessary to give him anv moro Information In regard to the mat ter. Patton suld tnat it ho had made n mis take In thjs particular it had been through Ignorance , nnd ho was willing thnt that part of hi ; ; claim should bo stricken out. Patton admitted , too , that ho had been In the habit of taking up fcos regularly when ho hud simply heard the statements of facts by the interested parties , ns though ho hail given the cnsu a complete trial. He consid ered this a trial. Just as much ns though ho had called In a dozen witnesses. In reply to the charge that wns mndo thnt ho ( mil charged up fees to the Bounty In favor of city oftlcers , wno hud never anpcr.rcd in court , for the purpose of testifying , he stated thnt In those cases the olllcors had been served with subpumas , nnd were on their beats , or at places so close that they could bo summoned at a few moments' no tice If wanted. Ho thought they were as much entitled to their fees ns thouirh they had been lonltng around his olllco waiting lor the cnso to come up. In boino cases the trial fee had been charged when the case had been sottlca by the parties before it came to n trial. In tbocaso of Kthclda Kisscll and the Klsscll boys , who were charged wilh stealing ; Jewelry from the Grand hotel , the defendants were discharged because the attorney for the defendants stated in court that thcrowns no evidence ngalnst them and usked for their discharge. 'Iho justice himself hail in the meantime tallied with the Klsscll girl am had learned from her that she- would noi stand by her statement made before the nr- rest of her brothers nnd ho had dischargee nil the defendants nnd hadcnterednochiuges for n trial in each caso. Patton said ho thought justices should have n good Ueul of latitude. If the construction of the statute were left to them , of course they would construe It liberally as it nppllei to them. Ho was not runnlnc any superior court or district court and ho wanted whn there was in the olllco. Ho would rather have cases before him settled than to hnvo then coma to trial , He thought it was better for the parties to agree and settle tholr differ cncosthan to continue tho. quarrel. In the afternoon Judge McGee was the llrst to bo put upon the stand , IIo stated thnt ho had never sent unv cnses to Justice Patton , or any other Justice for trial , oxcep when it had been taken there on a change o venue. Ho had no porsonul knowledge o the members of the police department ovei having tnkcn any cases to the Justice courts that should huvu been Jtrlcd before him , ul though ho had boon frequently Informed thn Mich was the cnso. lie dented the charge that hud been made ngalnst him thnt bo hat refused to take charso of the polleo court nnd the only thing thnt had ever uccurrot thnt could bo construed Into Uch a refusa wns ituring the preliminary examination o W. H. Covcll on the chaigo of obtatnlni monov under false pretense : , . He stilted tha nt that time hu was rushed with other mnt tors , and ho tola the uttornoys that in crlm Innl coses of minor importnnca he ufshtu that where Midi n thing coult bo done , they would bring their sul us Doforo tno Justices , in order that his tlmo might bo left frco for moro 1m portant affairs , lie stated that ho had neve had any agreement with Justice Hamine whereby the casts of the police court shouK bo piled up against tog couuty. Justice Inmracr had been called In by the city tnnr- hnl during his ( McUeo's ) sickness , nnd upon iln recovery ho asked Hammer to take chat-go of the police court for another week , as ho did not yet feel strong enough to undertake the ask himself , Justice Hammer consented , ns a potionnl favor , but it was understood thnt here should bo no bill taxed up to the county 'or ' his labors , Frank Kane was put upon tlio stand , and estllled that ho had been arrested by Consta- > lo Austin at the time of the disturbance nt the Fifth nvcnuo Methodist church. Marshnl Templcton stated thnt ho hnd icvcr testified in Justice Pulton's court , nnd as to how tbo returns happened to be made crediting him with tO.CO witness fees ho could not tell , Deputy Marshal Fowler testified In much the snmo way , ho having been credited with .hrco witness fees thnt , so fnr as ho knew , ho had never earned. At the beginning of Justice ration's term of oftlco thnt gontlc- man had inked him to send him all the busi ness ho could , saying ho would make It right wllh him , but ns for nny agreement between Justice I'atton nnd nny of the city ollicers whereby the city rases should to brought In Iho JuHlco courts rather then bcforo Justice McCleo , ho knew nothing of It. t'antnln B. L , . Martin of the police force testified In the same strain. Ho stated that ho had arrested Fred Klsscll when the In formation was tiled charging him with tbo robbery of the Urand hotel , and how the returns - turns cnmo to bo mndo stating tht the arrest hnd been made by Conslablo Austin , ho could not say. Nothing hnd ever been said In his presence relative to the taking of city cases to Justice Patton. ' Ofllcor O. E. Dcswick stated thnt ho had mndo the arrest in the case ot ilcrt Poland , who stele ? 90 pension money from his father. In this case too the arrest hud been entered up fn Austin's favor. M. Shnugnessy stntcd thnt In the case of the two boys. Murphy and Koper. who were charged with larceny , he had signed two in formations , but why , ho did not know. Ho only knew that ttio two papers were drnwn up by Justice Pntton , nnd ho signed bli ntuno In accordance with the Instructions of the Justico. Justice C. A. Hammer was put upon the stand. IIo wns asked why it wns that all the criminal business had ucon done in Jus tice Patton's couit , Iloiopiicd thnt ho did not know , ovcept what ho had heard. Ho admitted that it nearly all was done In the Justice com I of Justice Patton's but lie only hnd his own opinion , nnd that ho would r.ttlicr not ox press. Ho corroborated Judge McHco's statement ns to the arrangements thnt it was claimed had been made between them in regard to the police court. Justice Cones stated thnt the only thing ho know nbout the alleged combination between Patton nml the police department was what Olllccr Heswick had said ono dav. Ho was talking nbout a certain criminal case that was about to bo Instituted , and in the course of the conversation ho said ho wns going to lllo the Information in Justice Pntton's court because he Imd to. At the close of the Investigation the super visors adjourned until this morning , when they will take some action with reference to the fee matter. It is thought the session will bo completed by this afternoon , although thcro is a probability thnt un evening session will bo held.

The owner of the boar used to make him waltz and go through abort of drill , and occasionally , when nickels wore sup plied to make it an object , he and the hoar used to have n friendly wrestle. It was noticed , however , that the boar wns muzzled and. hobbled , so that ho didn't have u fair show. In the curly part of Itibt full , in a spur of the Coour d'Alonos in a now catnp called Muri ay , times were a little slack and the boys were ripe for anything in the line of fun. Their idea of "fun" was a little dlftorent from that of some folks , however , and so ono day when the visitor and the bear showed up , the whole cnmp turned loose and howled. Alongin the afternoon , though , after they had filled the man's poukots with four-bit pieces some of thorn thought that it was playing it pretty low down on the hear to handicap him in the way of imi//.lo and hobble , and insisted that the owner take oft" all obstructions and go in in a sort of enteh-as-cateh- can , in a regular old fashioned wrestle with the bear. The boar- kcopor demurred , but the demurrer was overruled and the original motion pre vailed by a rlblngvoto. . The boys in the mining camp didn't propose to have ono man , and ho a strolling boar bailer , stand oil the entire town , so they took charge of the circus themselves , freed the boar from restrictions as to teotli and claws , and , amid gre.it hilarity , made a ring , and while some hot on the bear and others on the man , pushed the poor tie vll into tlio light and announced that It waste to bo ono to a finish. The result was that in the third round tlio bear got mad and wont for his keeper , against whom lie had doubtless many an old grudge , and so ehottod and tore him that "tho bubso- quont proceedings interested him no more. " It is but right to bay , however , that they gave him a good funeral next day. Tlio bear took to the woods. Hntohlnt ; Out Kvtclencc.
