Tho Lincot'n county board of ox

teen of thoso wore discharged as phys

Tho porconUigo ot thoso asking for'
oxcm'pUon was much greater than at

on rather flimsy pretenses, figuring
thnt If tlio excuso held well nnd good,
if it didn't hold thoy would bo nono

Considerable criticism of- tho work

Thoro it -was claimod that woafth and

charge Is undoubtedly not true; at
