The Hoard of f'ounty Supervisors at Its session yesterday effected settlement with Justice of tho l'eaco Ovlde Vlen and tho county attorney was Instructed to dismiss tho suit brought against Vlcn to recover about $3."i0 of fees belonging to tho county which Vlen had retained as an offset against his claim for an nllowancc for olllco rent and other cxrenses. Under tho settlement Vlen pays $200 cash to tho county and tho latter rellngulshes all claim to tho uncollected fees for 1893. In addition to this Vlcn Is allowed to apply out of tho uncollected fees for the years 1895 to 1S98 Inclusive, which he may now or In tho future collcrt, stilllclcnt to make his salary for thoso yenis $1.2.15. This prop osition was submitted to the board by Vlen. In his Htatcment he showed that during the years ISflS to 1R9S the fees collected were not sufficient to pay his salnry of $1,200 and tho $.15 ho was allowed by tho board for oniro expenses. In IS99 his office expenses greatly Increased, he aald. and amounted to $301. The fees of his office, as taxed for that year, amounted $1.C0I. but of this amount he only collected Jl.IbiO, which, after deducting tho salary allowed him by law, was $111 less than tho amount of his ex penses. At the time of his settlement for the last half year of 1899 with the board ho retained all the fees In his possession, claiming thnt the county ought to nllow him about $100 for his office rent nnd ex penses.

No action was taken by the board on the report of tho committee on officers' accounts show ing that the deputy sheriffs had been over paid for the first six months In comparison with thn fees collected. Tho application of M. T. Kcarns for a re bate on his liquor license on tho ground that he had given up his saloon was rejected, as lie had only paid for one quarter.

Limit Will rolled Unit. Attorney John Limit has once more como out victor In his lengthy litigation against August Uhloln nnd tho Sehlltz Brewing company over the possession of the throe story brick building at Tenth street nnd Broadway, erected by tho brewing company at a cost of $0,000. After several years of litigation In the district nnd supremo courts Limit secured possession of the building and yesterday a Jury In tho supe rior court, after being out less than nn hour, gave him n verdict for $3,718.14 against the Srhlltz Brewing company. Limit sued for rent at the rate of $125 per month for the time thnt he was kept out of possession of tho building by the litiga tion. The Schllti Brewing company secured from Mrs. I'ralor, a colored woman who conducted a saloon on Broadway, the deed to tho property on which the company erected tho building. Later Limit claimed tho lnnd and tho property under a deed which ho claimed to havo received from Mrs. I'ralor and disputed the claim of the brewing company on tho grounds that part of tho consideration paid by It to Mrs. Trn lor for tho land had been liquor which un dor tho laws of this stato made the wholo transaction Illegal anil void.

Cunningham of Indiana, who has a contract with the Board of County Super visors for tho ferreting out of personal property subject to taxation which has been concealed or insufficiently assessed, arrived In tho city yesterday. Ho stated ho would begin sending out notices today to persons owning property which has been uncovered through tho Investigations con ducted by Cunningham and bin agents. Under Cunningham's contract with the county bonrd ho Is to receive 50. per cent of all moneys collected through his efforts. At tho recent session of tho state legisla ture n law was passed making all such contracts between county bonrds nnd tho tax ferrotors void, unloss within thirty days nftir tho passage of tho act tho par ties agreed to accept 15 per cent of tin taxes recovered through tholr efforts, this being tho limit of compensation allowed for such work by tho statute.
