A Technicality
of the Law
According to a recent decision
of.the supreme court of Nebraska
it is claimed that the sheriffs of
the state can collect all fees they
have turned over to the county
; and get their salary besides.
Now the sheriffs of the state
made a contract with their county
and. county boards to get a salary
and turn the fees to the county
treasurer (I did, at least) and I
i have turned over all fees earned
by me to the county and I think
every sheriff should live up to his
contract with the county notwith
standing a technical point in the
law, and if every sheriff in the
state should put in his claim I
would never do so, I would live
up to my contract.
