COURT HOUSE BONDS
TJie Two Principal Objections to the
Iskug are Answered
The more the court house bond prop
osition is considered the more it
grows in popular favor and it will
continue doing so until May 4 In
another column will be found the elec
tion proclamation of the board of
county commissioners which will fully
explain the amount and character of
the bonds and reasons for calling the
election
At present the county is paying 800
rent per year for five rooms in which
to transact its business and house its
records Every year that amount is
given away the county having nothing
to show for the money The interest
on the 012000 bonds at 5 per cent will
be 600 a year This interest may be
called for convenience rent Here is
a direct saving of 200 per year which
in 20 years the length of time the
bonds will run will amount to 4000
or one third the entire cost of the new
building It is estimated that at least
100 per year could be saved in fuel
which sum will in 20 years amount to
2000 This added to the saving in
rent gives a direct reduction in the ex
penses of the county of 6000 in the
20 years But this is not all This
saving of 300 per year can be invested
in county warrants or other security
drawing 7 per cent interest whieii will
greatly increase the amount available
for paying the bonds when they be
come due That at least 6000 will be
saved to the county in the 20 yelirs
cannot be gainsaid
Many think that the new issue of
bonds will necessitate the creation of a
sinking fund to provide for their pay
ment and that the levy for this fund
will so raise the tax rate that it will
become burdensome Xot at all A
sinking fund will of course be created
Forttllobinson Friday morning where but as the county is now retiring S000
he has been doing someof his artistic worth of bonds the levy for the court
n
house wilTsimply take the plaeerokthat
which has been formerly made for the
Kef unding Bonds and the tax rate
will remain practically the same as it
now is With the increase in valua
tion of taxable property the rate will
grow less
This will we think cover the two
objections which are most urged
against the bonds viz That they will
add to the countys expenses and raise
the tax levy and other objections will
be met later on
ISound Over Under SSOO Bonds
Yesterday afternoon Frank Tate
was arraigned before Judge Towne on
a charge ot stealing a saddle bridle
two revolvers pair of spuis scabbard
and belt blanket 6 silk handkercheifs
and 4 in money from Sidney Irwin
foreman of the Overton Ranch in the
west part of the county The prelimi
nary showed that Tate stayed at the
ranch named a few days about the
middle of last month and when he left
on March 19 took with him the articles
named without leave or license He
sold one revolver gave away a hand
kerchief and tried to trade the saddle
The value of pioperty taken was
5550 The above is the condensed
testimony of Sidney Irwin Sam De
France J A Saults J S Saults Jas
Harnan C K Smith John Carpenter
aud J W Whillans The defense in
troduced no testimony and Judge
Towne placed the prisoner under 500
bonds to appear at district court Two
charges of horse stealing were pre
ferred by JarvisBichards to one of
which the defendant plead not guilty
waived examination aud was placed
under 300 bonds The other charge
was not pressed The defense will
probably be that Tate intended and
and tried to return the horses and sad
dies which would dispose of the charge
of grand larceny F M Walcott and
J J Harrington of CNeill prosecuted
and Ed Clarke and J Wesley Tucker
defended A number of witnesses be
side those named were present but
were not called

It is but fair to Walter Jackson to
say that he would have received a
much larger vote had he not declared
that he would not accept the office if
elected
The first five named will be the vil
lage board for the ensuing year as they
have been for the year just passed The
banks will once more run the town
according to one of the opposition but
if they run it as they have heretofore
nobody will kick The vote as cast is
