THE 8IOUX COUNTY j BY THE JOURNAL UUBL'SHING COMPANY. Hew to the Line, iJX THE (HJPS FALL THE! MAY. WHERE (Cpntinueij from lust week) III claim No. iwH, presented to the board of commissioners by E. D. Satter lee, for the sum of $104.33, tliece aresev eitil items that for outright robbery ai((l false swearing, exceed anything yet examined. In looking over the records I iipc.1 thin item. To furnisjuii and printing 100i district curt dockets, - - - f."0.00 I was desiupus nf olitaining one o,f the said dockets, and asked our county Clerk to let ii)6 hny one, and, in reply. tg said that lie fiid not Ijave one. To uiy. ques tion a to what had lieoome of thpm as tlie county liad jiaid for 100 c-opieaf Mr. Jameson said that he hsul never received t hem, and that be did not liave a single copy. Tlie price of $-50 made me. wish for a copy fo use as evidence to convince the tax'payers tliat they lire lienor swin dled by E. D. Satterlee, with the con sent ai(d help of the county bourd. I fl nlally obtained a copy of the docket and presented it to W. E. Patters;n asking biii wiat would lie a fair price per, 100 copies for furnishing and piinting the same, and in reply he said that fT.flO would lie good pay. Mr. L. O. Hull, al so a pi-.ictical printer, says that 1 or $8 would lie good ay foF tlie job. Mr. Con Liiidcrman, also a practical printer, said $25 would lie big pay. Bui Mr, tfcitter lee presents a bill for f."i0 and the same is paid without a word without even ask ing bill) to dejiver the goods. For fur ther information I asked Mr. 0. F. Slin gerlalid, then foreman of the Herald of fice, how many copi- of the docket be luid printed and he sid fifty copies. Mr. Slingerland is the man vt'lio did the work and ought to know. What did the coun ty waiit with 100 copies anyway or even SO? They are only to be furnished to tins attorneys in attendance and the officers of the court. Has the court hertr an arflry 'oT"on5Tiuiulred lawyers and officers? The ide is preposterous. Facts show tliat less than one dozen attorneys were present. Now one or two small items ffom the record of our honorable county board. Claim No. 531 for $100 is nol itemized. Mr. McOinly who presented the bill may know what service he has rendered the county fur (his 100 but some of the rest of us would like to know tlso. Claim No. 209 reads as follows, II days work on road at $2 jierday 28.00 Please liave the county attorney show vou or the tix navem w lie re you are al lowed $2 per day? Claim No. 270, 14 days work on iixids, - - $42.00 By what law do you allow yourself f3 ler day and as what? Same claim, 14 days use of team, $1.50 fier day, $21 Tax pavers of Sioux county look at this for a moment and think. 14 days at $2 per day - - $28.00 " $3 " " , . 42.00 " " use of team at $1.50 per day 21.00 ToUil, - - - - $91.00 In 14 days to one man, and he one of your commissioners, laying out a road (as I am informed not being able to tell from tlie records) from Harrison to or near his own ranch, a distance of about 25 miles. Was McOinly the disinterest ed elector the Statute calls for? Mr. S. V. Grout, the man who survey ed this same road from Harrison south, for which Mr. McGinly brings in his bill of $01 and orders hiiuwlf iaid; comes up with a bill for $75. Did Mr. Grout work more tlian 14 day surveying? 14 times 5 is only 70 and tlie bill is $75. Better itemize your accounts, the people want to know what you liave done for them and where you did it. - Next week I will si iow to the tax txiyers how commiss ioner Klein got $50 of the county money to pay him for his pleasure trip he took to Virginia last spring. , I believe Mr. McGinly to lie honest in what he does for tlie county, but he, like many others in this county, is under the influence of E. D. Satterlee, charmed like a bird by a rattle snake. You say in the Herald Mr. Satterlee Uiat you have wasted too much time on Walk er. L'on't you winli now tliat you hadn't wanted any? You ay all allegations made by me are false. Look again; they are not allegations but facts certified to by 'the county Clerk. You're accusing me of selling a scraper to tlie county that I had borrowed of J. F. Pfost is false. Mr Pfost promises me to publish a denial of the uliarge over his own sig- tKlUEV Tb.wuty Clk. q)o. author izes me to say tliat your a usation of liiy laving tiiken any bil poMi his office )H untrue and untoiinUeu.

We have jisi received tlie first num ber of Tlie J.wirnaj edited and published by W. E. Paerson, lately foreman of the ReK)rter. It is a neat, well arrang ed, and well edited six column folio, amj does credit to its editor. We wish the Jounial abundant success, and doubt not it will achieve it; as running a paier on the frontier is or a while at least pj-of-itiible. AdiiLi' Qaunty (la.) Reporter. The first number of Sioux county's new paper The Journal has been received at these heiujlcua;lers. Typographically j it is)od, but K)litically it is doing the; "sUaddling act," .wliict fact wijj not as-i sistin giving it much prominence in new,spaper circles outside its own iriime- diate neighborhood. However pie Jour nal may iave conje fo .''fill a long felt want," iufd we wish the editor lots of glory and jthe usua) amount of financial suci ess. T-Chadroti Deniocr.it. DIED On Wednesday Keptemlier 19, at her r-.sidence on Hat creek, Mrs. Tlieo dire Reiiu, after a short illness. Mrs. Renin at the time of her death was alxjut 28 years old and leaves a husband and three children to mourn their loss. The Journal extends its syni)atliy io tlie family in their bereavinent. A Dakota paper sjiys the shipment of l)eef cattle from the Hiljs this season will be a source of considerable income to stockmen. It is estimated tlat 13,000 head will bo loaded at Whitewood, 5,000 at Tijford, 25,000 at Bi-ennan, and per luips 20,000 at Oelrichs, or a grand total of 611,000 head, representing a cash value f $2,520,000. This, if anything, is un derestimated. Does this suit you! Ed. Journal: " ' In the issue of the Republican of Sept 18, Mr. John Hunter says, that George Walker luid advised me not to nay the cost in the case of myself against Ring me truth is mat instead ot telling nie not to pay the costs, Mr, Walker told me to ymy all Mr Hunter asked and lie sure and take his receipt for the amount paid. Mr. Hunter, one evening while was in Harrison, asiceu me to pay linn $6.40; at another time he wanted $4,60 and he wanted me to sign a note for that amount, He further said that he would issue an execution against me if I would not do so. I will iay Mr. Hunt' all he can lawfully claim for his services and no more. These are the facts in the case and Mr. Hunter's assertions are false in every pai'ticylar. Yours Respectfully, Hass Df.xker. Vol. 1 No, 1 of tlie JoLKNAL, published at Harrison, is on our tatie lor inspec tion. It is independent in politics, but promises, to work for its town and county. Gordon Republican, tlie Sioux County Journal is a new independent paper recently started at Harrison. The "long felt want." which it came to fill is not visible to tlie na ked eye at this distance, although the Journal is quite an interesting and ener getic sheet Sheridan Co. Sun. The Sioux County Journal, a newspa per starting out with full-fledged anti- ring proclivities, as it were, made its first visit to our sanctum last week. It is a lively little slieet, anu win nave a lively time before it succeeds in accom plishing what it starts out to do. The Clipper wishes it success. Crawford Clipper.. The Sioux County Journal made its first apjieamnce last week. It is a six column folio, independent in politics, and publislied at Harrison, making the third laer for that town. We should judge that the picking would be quite short when it comes to grazing three paiers on what would only bo fair pasture for one. Gordon Herald. Hie Journal is a new republican pnjier tliat lias recently been put in motion at Harrison, a copy of the first issue is up on our table. It is the third paper in Harrison, and all. liave about the same amount of advertising patronage. No doubt one of tlie three papers will have to pull, up stakes.and seek new pastures soon, as picking is short at that place hlremly.Valenlino Republican, Yiu are wrong on the political, version Mr..IklililKntUr-Ell.. Mr, Wurneke took a trip to Running Water on business Friday, and on stoji ing ji,t flie gate to his pasture, his pony sape(l. Mr. Warneke and "the pony pluyed at' hide-anil-go-seek and pussy- wants-a-coiner in a 700 acre pasture for several hours, until finally the pony mid the oen gate and got out. Here tlie futile chase was continued for some iime. The jsny returned to near Harri son that night anil Mr. Warneke the next morning arrived just as his folks werrt preparing to go after him. Grant Guthrie has taken a claim couple oi nines north oi town anu js an imated by a desire to practice all needful economy in the improvement thereof, and for a week or more he was telling bis numerous friends of bis intentions to excavate a cistern. He borrowed u picl and bought a siaile and sent llieni nut by j, passing team and the other morning "rose with the lark," spunged bis mus cles and "hit the road" with a jug of water and a determination of spirit. Ar riving at the claim, after many putting.' of one foot liefore the other and chaug ings of the afore aid jug from one hand to the oilier, for the next four hours he proceeded to "hump himself mid tlie pick and sjxide, Result: a round hole five feet across and two feet deep with tlie hardest kind of bard stone in the bottom and a cadaverous looking individua clothed in a subdued expression, fleein" across the country, disregarding all road: and animated only by a longing desire to get away from that pick and that spade and. that rock forever. Tliat night Guthrie spanked the baby with blistered hands and the next morning took $2 and hired a man to dig his cistern. WLEN ITEMS.
