Sheriffs Decide
To Let the Fee Law
Stay Unchanged
OR A N O ISLAND. Neb., Deo. SO. (Spe
cial Telegram.) The fee system so far
as the sheriffs of Nebraska are concerned
will remain aa at present and wtthyut
change at the legislature to come. At
the session of the Nebraska Sheriffs" as
sociation her today a resolution was In
troduced with reference to the allowance
of certain fees to the officer as well as
his stipulated salary.
The resolution for a continuance of the
presont system looked Innocent and was
panned. letter the Omaha and some of the
eastern contingent of officers arrived and
suggested an amendment that certain fees
be applied to th esalary and It was pansed.
Still later, after the possible results of
tbe action began to become apparent, a
reconsideration was eallet for and carried
and the sheriffs wiped all of the former
action off the slate, leaving th epropoei
tlon under the present law, which seems
to be entirely satisfactory to the officer
o fthe state, with the exception of a very
few. ,
