Klsasser. torobablr will be elected chairman of tho Board of County Commissioners when tho Iboaxd reorganises January 1. Hlessser, "who fom weeks ago announced ho would (try to hold office for another yar, ror abandon that hope. He would have to Iflght to and through-the supreme court lin order to retain his sent and he Is be ginning to doubt the advisability of spend ling the money ho would have to spend In a battle the result of which Ii gravely Idnubtful. When asked for a statement Sir. HI Isaeoer said ho still Intends to content tho eat In the. court, but done friends nt ill say he has almost decided to give tir Mr Blsasser, however, will carry the fight as far as ho can without Incurring expense. When the new board meets January H ho will appear In his ont McDonald also will be there. tUsoascr will ask for rccognlton as tho commis sioner from the First district; McDonald will do likewise. McDonald irtll bo rec ognized. If Blsnsser wishes to iro further he will have to Institute a quo warranto proceeding In district court to force tho Hoard of County Commissioners to rcc ofoilzo him and not McDonald.

With Elsosser Kono nnd McDonald In tils place there will bo but one democrat Thomas O'Connor left on the board.

C, Meier. Rurgen brought suit against Edward M. King for 173. SO duo on a note. Last Sat J urday the case was continued to iron j day. When the Judge learned a votuntary petition In bankruptcy had Homo time ago been filed In the federal court by King, and that tho debt of 78.S0 was there listed, lie decided that a Justice of peace had no Jurisdiction In the matter of claims that were already listed with Uncle Sam In a bankruptcy case, lie ; dismissed the case for want of Jurisdic tion. The facts showed that King in his bankruptcy petition had listed his debt of $78.30 as owing ta an Insurance com pany as premium for his first year's In surance. Melgcrgprgen showed that, as a matter at fuct, he wus tho agent of J that Insurance conr anv. and that lie had i personally ndvancod this premium money for Kl"g and had taken King's note for It payublo to Mrlcrgursen personally.
