out on the facts. Neither side could raise
the question that Dietrich was not a

that the county commissioners decline to

man employed, while the commissioners
agreed to stand only for six. Howe was
ppointed by Treasurer Knight hecause the
work of the office had been materially In
creased and because the old soldiers of
the town had asked for recognition. Howe
Is still hanging on, however, and he may

they took under advisement some days ago.

auff, purchaser of the property, asked the
court to outline an opinion touching the
right of the traction company to redeem
when Mr. Frueauft had paid down the bal
ance of the cash on the confirmation of the
sale. February 1 Is the day Bet for Frue
auft to pay this money. . The next term of
the district court does not begin- until six
days before that, and as this is rather too
short a time to gather up a million the
