The Times makes a great roar
about the bills filed by Commis
sioners Barry and Hollinrako for
attendance in county seat case.
Com'r Barry made the trip to
Rushville by rail and lie had a
perfect right to do so and could
not have made the trip in less
time than he did. His bill will
bear investigation. It is too bad
the commissioners will pot allow
themselves to be dragged up to
Rushville every few months by
tho Alliance pettifoggers and
then fcjot their own expenses. If
the commissioners are doing so
many illegal acts why don't the
Alliance legal lightweights pros
ecute them and stop chewing the
rag.
Miss Adams returned rom
Michigan where she has been vis

returned from Montana Monday.
Mr. Sweeney bargained for a
bunch of cattle aboulTUO head
but upon receipt of a telegram
from the party who was interest
ed with him, -stating that owing
to tho war trouble he thought
best not to buy, tho deal was
dropped, Mr. Tush visited his
brothors at Bannuck and reports
a pleasant time.
The Alliance papers devoted
considerable space toward abus
ing G. y. Erb, simply because
he was honest enough to admit
that tho Alliance county seat pe
tition contained many fraudulent
names. Mr. Erb is not owned by
the Alljance banks and cannot be
used for a jumping jack like
some others are.

yesterday inoinlng. The prize had
on hoard a largo cargo of provisions
intended for die Spanish troops In

miles off cardcinis after u desperate
chase, during which the Terror and
and the gunboat Machias tired, alniosL
blowing the Spanish pilot house into

richest captured. jit is estimated
that she she with tier cargo is worth

Hollinrake Replies,
In tho Times of last week
wo
rend in llatning headlines that
Commissioner Barry charged tho
county for seven days for making i
the trip to Rushville while Hol
linrake makes tho trip in five.
Then follows a statement which
sho vs Hollinrake's bill is as fol
lows: March 26, 27, 28 and 20
4 days, 12; mileage to Rushville
GO miles, o Why does the
Times editor say tho claim was
tiled for 5 days services when it
is only for four? Hp knew it was
onjy for four days because ho
published an itemized statement
which shows it to be so.
In regard to the statement that
the levy was overdrawn. It is
usual to draw warrants equal in
amount to 85 per cent of tho leyy
and tho amount transferred from
other funds to the general fund.
At each meeting of tho board jt
has been customary to ascertain
thu amount in tno county treasury
belonging to other funds against
which there are no warrants xnit
standing or claims of any kind
and transfer tho same to the
general fund At tho close of
the session of the Board each
member ns usunl filed his claim
for services during tho session
and since tho last session of the
board and then consulted the
treasurer np to whethor there was
money in his handB subject to
transfer suflicent to pay the
claims ard found that there was
about $200 ready to bo transfer
red to the general fund and which
migbtbo transfsrred and warrants
drawn for tho amount. Tho
board Mien ordered warrants
drawn to each member in pay
ment for his services and no ob
jection was madd by any member
of the board. The board neglect
ed to make an order transferring
the surplus in the treasury in
other funds to the general fund
but this can be done at next meet
ing' My claim for trip to Rush
ville and for live days attendance
during tho trial of tho county
seat petition including milage
was for !jy.80 Mr. Duncan's
claim was for four days attend
ance during the trial of the
county seat petition (he being ab
scent one day on account of sick
ness) and milage and was for 20.
On tho trip to Rushville 1 actual
ly lost five days but only put in a
claim for four days and while I
might have made the trip by rail
and traveled over 100 miles and
charged mileage therefor. I took
a team and only charged mileage
for 00 miles. But still the dude
editor of the Times will howl.

From the Crawford Uulotlii ,
The county seat contosL iu
Box Butte county resulted iu a
victory for Homingford, by tho
commissioners rejecting tho
petition to call an election.
Tlio potition proved to bo defective
in manv points, which wore
carefully and quietly looked up
by those in favor of tho present
county seat, and when tho defects
wore made known and found to
bo suftlcent grounds on which to
roj.ee t tho potition, tho Alliance
party undoubtly woro convinced
that it would have been bolter
for them had thoy not resort oil
to tho 'sinning" process
Hemingforil made a gallent light
against heavy odds and thoy de
servo crodit for their pluck.
It id generally conceded that
stufling is tho rule in county scat
contests, and if the mattor comes
to an election it will rcrquiroelo.se
watching and hard work to jet
what is considered a "square
deal". Homingford, being aware
of this, is doing all in hor powor
to provont tho necessity of con
tending with this difliculty.
Up to date, sho has r.oason to
rejoico over tho result of her ef
forts. CANTON ITKMS.
