A dirty slur was cast last week when
the high priced Republican sheet re
ferred to the county commissioners as
not having done their duty at their last
meeting and of the expense of their
own bills which if Bantam Barker had
looked over the proceedings of the
meeting preceding he would have seen
that the commissioners did not allow
their own bills and these were the bills
allowed that Bantam refers to though
in his ignorance and prejudice he
thinks he can call down the commis
sioners for overcharge in services
There would be a nice showing up if
Barkers charges for printing in the
past were investigated by the present
board of commissioners
The facts are that the board met for
the purpose of making arrangements
for the new court house adopting
plans and calling for bids Claims
were not entitled to consideration untii
the regular meeting unless the board
saw fit to take them up Our commis
sioners have expenses - in attending
these meetings and do not always have
the ready cash and it is only just that
a bill for services for a previous meet
ing should be allowed and that our
commissioners should be paid for their
services at any meeting

Whites History
In reply to the articles going the
rounds of the papers that Jim White
shot three men in Montana and had to
leave there on that account is nothing
more nor less then a straightforward li
bel At the time Jim White was shot
they tnought there was no possibility
of his recovery and he was beyond
self defense and had no friends to see
that justice was done him and they
wanted a good story to clear them from
crime and it had that effect But when
the truth comes to light there is a vast
change in the scene
Jim White has been a cowboy of the
west He has always been known as
Jim White or Kid White he has never
had an assumed name or been where
the officers could not find him if they
wanted him Jim White never shot
three men in Montana neither did he
shoot one man there or anywhere else
Moreover Jim White never shot at a
man in Montana or anywhere else He
did not leave Montana on the sly or
under disgrace but ho did leave there
publicly under good wages as a fore
man for a government contractor who
had a large drove of cattle to bring
through here J W Crowe
