to accept it and receipt therefore. It is the same twenty that was collected on Aug*. 1st from Mrs. Geddes by a deputy sheriff at the instance of the acting’ countv attorney. The twenty in question reposed peacefully in the pockets of one of these gentlemen for over a month and might have been there yet but for the indiscretion of its former owner who toid of the incident later. The money was then turned over to the treasurer as “fine collected” and that’s the way it stands now. Ah no case has ever been instituted against Mrs. Geddes and no fines of this nature ever imposed on her, it is evident that the officers had no right to collect this money. But having collected it they were equally anxious to be rid of it and so unloaded it on the treasurer. And now it is cluttering up the books of the county treasurer—a maverick twenty with no one to father it. It threatens to be as homeless and friendless a waif as the thirty thousand turned in by Fred Whiteside during the Clark-Daly fued.
