-HIS FIGHTING HARNESS
The article lu .Vt week's Courier
regarding the assessorvMu. pf Eight
Mile Grove precinct seems to ha' j
awakened the natives down at the
county seat. The Courier has been
quite reliably Informed that the
county attorney disclaims the respon
sibility for the change of heart on the
part of the county commissioners In
requesting Mr. Ward to secure affi
davits from the election board stat
ing that he really received votes at
the November election.' It will be re
membered that the commissioners
duly appointed and approved his bond
and we understand Isstied him a cer
tificate, and . then after he had de
parted for home they reconsidered
their action, and according to the
letter from the connty clerk, "on the
advice of the county attorney" they
asked that Ward secure affidavits
from the election board of Eight Mile
Grove precinct to the effect that he
had received votes at the general
election held on November 8, 1910.
It is very amusing that the county
attorney nofr disclaims the credit for
this wise suggestion. Mr. Barr, at
torney for Ward, was seen by the
Courier and he states that his client
was very much In earnest when be
Btated that he proposed filing crimi
nal proceedings against the members
ef the election board for falling to
report the votes cast for him at the
election In question, lie says he Is
being deprived of the office to which
he claims to have been elected and
feels that the board of county com
missioners had no right to recon
sider his appointment after approv
ing his bond. The outcome will be
watched with considerable interest by

by a Bhow of authority, broke Into
cries, shrieks and pxecrutlons at sight
of the ptlsonors and attempted to
brenk through the lines to go noni
them, but tho carbineers pushed them
back with their guns. Intenso excite
nient reigned and the surging mass ol
people threatened an attack upon Li
police.
Tho prisoners shook their manacled
fists nnd raised their voices almost as
loudly as their friends and relatives.
Tho men were marched to prison,
surrounded by heavy gunrds, nnd tho
crowd dispersed.
