Court housers see in the raid an angle to the rumored feud between Sheriff Clark and Commissioner Lynch arising out of the jail-feeding row. Adherents of the commissioner assert that the sheriff believed he was raid ing a resort in which the former had an interest Commissioner Lynch was at the court hpuse bright and early and gave out the following signed statement: "Sheriff Clark's statement that. I told him I own one-half of Lakeside road house is absolutely and deliber ately false, and" everybody who knows me knows that it is false. I do not o..n any interest in Lakeside or any other road house. I could not afford to if I wanted to on account of my position. "John Ford, manager of the road house, is a former neighbor and friend of rm..o. Clark is aware that this fact is generally known and that I have no other interest in tf place. He thinks that will make his false statements more probable. "If Clark is honestly intending to enforce the law, I ' am fer him. Whether he made this raid for spite work will be shown by his subsequent actions," Will Keep Lid On. The sheriff declares no personal feeling enters in the raid, but that he is going to keep the lid on in Doug las county, regardess ot whom it at fected.

The money put up for the bonds was refunded when the re leased alleged road housers appeared at the court house. "We can get them again if we need them," said the sheriff. "They've all given their words that they'll appear if wanted." To File Charges. Fbllowing a conference with County Attorney 1'agney ' Chief Deputy Sheriff Foster declared that com plaints charging selling liquor with out a license will be brought against Frank Galloway, bartender, and John Leonard, who Foster says" is the raan ager of the Lakeside resort Meanwhile the jail feeding row goes on, the county board refusing to al low Sheriff Clark's claim for Janu ary's purchases for the bastile.i They want him to submit an itemized state ment of his actual expenditures for food.
