Queer Award of Printing.
There is considerable indignation ex
pressed over the recent action of the
county board of supervisors in regard to
the county printiug. The county uses
over u hundred different forms of
blanks. It was decided , as usual , to re
ceive bids on these. The board is com
posed of three democrats and two re
publicans , and it seems to have been the
deliberate Intent of the democratic
members to award the contract to the
democratic organ here , no matter what
bids were received. At least this was
indicated by the subsequent result. Of
the bidders the Avocu Mail proved to bo
by far the lowest. The board concluded
the bid of the Mail was too low , and as
some one suggested that the Mail could
not buy the white paper for the price at
which they offered the blanks , it was
concluded that the Mail must furnish a
bond. This did not , however , knock
the Mail out of the ring , for it came up
smiling with a lirst-elasibond for & ! ,500.
The only way left was for the three
democratic members to boldly face the
situation , and vote to give the print
ing to their democratic pet in this city.
The two republican members of the
board protested , and had the roll called
so as to put themselves on record , but
the majority ruled , and the parly plum
was given out.
It is felt by ninny that it is the county
printing is thus to be given to a party
organ , as a part of the party spoils , it
would be much more honorable to give
it outright , with no pretense of trying
to save the county expense. The ask
ing for bids , and the going through the
motions of opening them , anil figuring
them through is labor and money thrown
away , for the lime is past when the tax
payers can bo fooled by such a bit of
pleasant play.
The n..iuit of such procedures is
already manifest. There are some
olllcci which have put in bids in the
past , thinking that the board really
wanted competition , but on finding that
it was a sort of farce. and that the print
ing would bo awarded irrespective of
thc-bo bids , now refuse to bid at all. In
tliis way the county does not get the
benefit of such lowprieesnscompotition ,
honestly considered , would bring.
The binding was given to a republican
paper which chanced to be the only
bidder on this clnss of work , and satis
fied with getting this crumb it is keep
ing very close-mouthed. There are
one or two other papers which hope to
get a share of the money to be paid for
printing the proceedings , and as that
award has not boon made they doom it
the part of discretion to say nothing
which will otlend the democratic major
ity in the board.
The Br.K has no bid in , hia no oeea.-
ion to fear or furor , and its readers will
therefore have the benefit of the facts
n the matter as they will probuhly be
trough t out in the courts. It is ( iiiite
ikely that an injunction suit will be
itarted to prevent the board awarding
, ho contract. Such a suit is being
alked of , not by the bidder who should
lave b-'on gi\en the \\ork , but by citi-
: ons of the republican faith , who do not
'iclieve in submitting to such an over
riding of the interests of the taxpayers
'or the sake of rewarding a party organ.

In the diutrict court yesterday the
long drawn out ciu > o of Mrs. Riohardsor
against Colonel C. R. Scott came to the
closing arguments. The case has heen
fought sharply on both sides. Mrs
Richardson claims damages growing
out of the trouble she had with the de
fendant while renting his farm. She
claimed damngos because he had forci
bly taken possession of the farm , eject
ing her and take the personal prop
erty , crops , tc. Also for maliciously
prosecuting her for conlcmut of an in
junction issued ugiiinst her interfering
in farm mat ttirs ; also for calling her a
blister , " this being deemed slanderous.
Colonel Scott justified his taking pos-
session of the farm by her violation of
the contract , and that this matter had
been tried and adjudicated in court in
his favor , An injunction wns issued
by the court , and when informed that
she was. violating this he had his three
informants make voluntary affidavits of
the facts , before he made any complaint.
She was lined , and this , ho claimed , was
conclusive evidence , in the absence of
anything to the contrary , that ho had
acted ns uny prudent man would who
desired to protect his property. As to
slandering her by ailing nor a "blis
ter , " ho explained that her brother , a
stranger to him , cnmo 10 him and in
formed him that she was a ' "blister , "
and that she had leased a farm of u man
in Nebraska once , and had just such
trouble with him , and stuck to him so
that it nearly ruined him. Colonel
Scott wont to one of tier bondsmen , who
was supK)3ed | to have some influence
over her in th.u matter , and told him
that ho wanted his assistance in avoid
ing litigation with tha woman , at ? ho
hud been informed J > y her brother that
she was a regular blister , and that
another of her brothers had written
him about the same effect.
The plalntilT claimed Urn * , this appel
lation was a slander upon her chastity ,
but the defendant insisted that it was
not used in any such sense , and that the
person to whom It was said did not so
understand it.
Tlio pl.ilntilT , through her attorneys ,
pictured very vividly how grasping and
abusive Scott had been- , that ho had bo-
pun annoying' ihis woman voon txftor she
went onto hi fnrm ; that ho had charged
her with stealing sheep polls , with kill
ing the pigs , and doing other aets , and
had Interfused with her pioper use of
the farm. Then' ho took advantage of
an Iron-clad contract , drawn with hid
woll-hnown legal sharpness , took poises-
sion 'of everything , and proceeded to
have her arrested on one pretext and
another.
The verdict In the case will probably
bo reached and announced to-day.

II. I. Carter , a railroad contractor ol
St. Joe , the other day , t-one dilliculty
of frequent occurrence was mot witl
which , ns far as my experience goes , is
unique in railroad history. I refer to
the trouble arising from quicksands
From western Kansas to the mountains
quicksands uro to bo found in nenrl ;
every stream , no matter how small am
to successfully bridge them required an
expenditure out of all proportion to the
size of stream to bo crossed. Wo tried
pile driving , but the longest piles dis-
pcarcd without touching bottom. Then
filling with earth nnd stone was tried ,
nnd met with equally poor success , as
the quicksand was apparently capable
of swallowing the entire Rocky moun
tains. The only means of crossing a
quicksand was found to be to build
snort truss bridges across them. This
was very expensive , but , was the only
thing to bo done.
' As nn instance of the practically
bottomless nature of the quicksands , I
may cite the case of an engine that ran
oil the truck at RiverBendnboutninety
miles from Denver , on the Kansas Pa
cific. The engine , a largo freight , fell
into a quicksand , and in twenty minutes
had entirely disappeared. Within two
days the company sent out a gang of
men and a wrecking train to raise the
engine. To their surprise thoj could
not find a trace of it. Careful search
was made , magnified rods were sunk to
the depth of sixty-five feet , but no en
gine could bo found. It hud sunk be
yond human ken , and from that day to
this has never been discovered. Cattle
and horses are frequently lost , the only
animal that is safe being a mule the
only animal that never gets caught.
No greater instance of the intelligence
of this much-maligned quardrupea can
" > o cited than the skill and cnro with
ivhlch it avoids all unsound bottom , As
ts hoofs are much sniallorand narrower
ban those of a horse it would mlro In
ilnces where a horse could safely pass.
; { ecognizing this fact , whenever a mule
'cols ' the uround giving way under its
eel it draws back and cannot bo in-
luced to advance u step , although a
ivhole drove of horses may have inline-
lintely preceded. "
