More About the Case
It has occured to us that possibly
the report raado in last weeks issue
of this paper of the case of the coun
ty of Red Willow against H I Peter
son and his bondsmen does not fully
and fairly present to the public the
controversy involved in the action
Upon further investigation we learn
that the only question involved was
the right for the sheriff to retain
mileage fees earned by him and is
a matter of the construction of the
law governing sheiffs fees passed at
a ecent sesion o f the legislature
This law provides That the sheriff
shall on the first Tuesday in Janu
ary April July and October of each
year make a report to the board of
county commissioners or supervisors
under oath showing the different
items of fees EXCEPT MILEAGE
collected or earned from whom at
what time and for what service and
the total amount of fees collected or
earned by such officer since the last
report and also the amount collected
or earned for the current year and
he shall then pay all fees earned to
the county treasurer The conten
tion being on the part of the sher
iff that under this statute he not be
ing required to make any report of
his mileage fees that it was not the
intention of the legislature that he
should pay them over to the county
that they were not treated as other
fees by the legislature but rather in
the nature of expenses and that it
was their intention that he should re
tain them to reimburse himself for
his traveling expenses while the
county contends that he should pay
them over to the county although
not required by the statute to make
any report of them
We also learn upon inquiry that in
stead of the decision made by the dis
trict court disposing of the matter
as stated in our former issue that
bond to supersede judgment of the dis
trict court was immediately filed and
that transcript has been obtained for
the purpose of securing the decision
of the supreme court upon the mat
ter which will have to be secured
before the matter is settled
So far as we have been advised
this is the first case to be brought in
volving the questions here raised
and we are informed that some of the
adjoining counties have been waiting
the result of this case before settl
ing with the sheriff which other
counties have allowed the sheriff to
retain his mileage

IS BEING STAMPED OUT
Vigorous Quarantine Measures Be
ing Carried On Warn
ing to Citizens
The City Board of Health are wag
ing a determined war against scarlet
fever in McCook and are carrying
out severe measures to enforce quar
antine regulations
All children not sick are to be
kept in their own yards and under
no circumstances allowed on the
streets Rules have been printed
outlining the measures to be follow
ed in the sick room and quarantin
ed premises and an inspector has
been engaged to see the same are

means of a neighbor catching the dis
ease

McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA THURSDAY EVENING JULY 14 1910
for many years previous
After locating in Arapahoe Neb
Mr and Mrs Tomblin affiliated with
the M E body of that place later on
being taken into regular communion
and fellowship
On moving to Denver some two
years since membership was trans
ferred to Grant Avenue M E church
of Denver with which body he was
a consistent member until the end
came
Mr Tomblin was an unobtrusive
unostentatious conscientious type of
man a true exemplar of the God
fearing American citizen
Ever loyal to his friends and char
itable towards those who differed
from him in either conduct or opin
ion his character can be summed up
in this terse expression He always
rang true to the best that was in
him
Brief services were held at the
Forbes residence Tuesday afternoon
Rev Bryant Howe in charge and
Rev R T Bayne assisting
The remains were taken on train
train 10 Tuesday evening to Arap
ahoe for interment which occurred
on Wednesday morning after further
simple services in charge of the
Methodist pastor of that place
Fred F Tomblin of Denver was in
attendance upon the services
Members of J K Barnes post of
this served as pall bearers to the
train Tuesday afternoon and members
of the Arapahoe post acted as pall
bearers at the burial in that city
Wednesday morning
Dr J A Gunn and the late Hen
ry F Tomblin were prospectors in

McCook Danbury line now built and
the extension from Danbury to Ober

rate
Tnere is a probability that McCook
will eventually become the headquart

An Explanation
Delinquent subscribers to newspa
pers often wonder why the editor
and his office force are so insistent
about subscriptions in arrears The
following article clipped from the
Des Moines Daily Capital will ex
plain why a subscriber in arrears gives
the average country editor the night
mare Editor Fay of Lyons la
has been called to Washington City
because his subscription list is not as
well paid up as the law requires He
will have to explain to the govern
ment officials why he has not com
pelled his subscribers to pay up ac
cording to postal rules An inspector
had visited him two months previous
and his list was said to be pretty
thoroughly paid up but evidently it
was not sufficiently so It seems a
little tough that country editors have
to be hauled up before the govern
ment under the charge of violating
federal laws just because they do not
eternally keep dunning their sub
scribers for the small sum they owe
on subscription but its like the end
of the world no man knows when it
cometh and no editor knows what
day an inspector may pop in and ask
to see his list And if too many sub
scribers are behind on their paper it
means trouble with the government
It puts an editor in such shape that
he is compelled to force his collection
unless he has an unusually prompt
paying list of subscribers
Miles of Wheat Fields
The Tribune had the pleasure of
an auto ride Tuesday afternoon up
the Driftwood for about ten miles
with J F Cordeal It developed the
fact that that section has miles of
small grain most of it cut and soon
to be threshed The bundles seen iu
the fields indicate a fairly good aver
age yield over that part of the coun
ty and when the large acreage is tak
en into the consideration many
thousands of bushels of small grain
will be harvested
Only a Slight Blaze
There was a small fire in a hay
stack in the Cain livery barn yard
Sunday morning on east B street
but a few buckets of water extin
guished the blaze before it had got

sequently there was no damage of
any moment
