County Board Proceedings Reveals Budget and Legal Disputes
The county board discusses per diem charges for election returns, canceling a defaced county order, and reconciliation of old district attorney fees. Debates cover unpaid warrants, travel costs in pursuit of a criminal, guardianship claims, and the legality of charges amid adjournments and future sessions.
Resolution on subpoena payments and witness issues in county case
The District Attorney and Clerk explained that many defense witnesses were fraudulently subpounded for the State. Subpoenas by the State created a claim on the county or Milwaukee County, and payments must go to the proper county. The board discussed and withdrew the resolution, with orders to produce a list of state subpoenas at the next adjourned session. Adjourned to half past one, continued next week.

Editor Brick Pomeroy Leaves Wisconsin in Turbulent Wake
A La Crosse Republican notice details the editor M. P. Pomeroy's departure for the East after a tumultuous tenure in Wisconsin. Deputy Sheriff Polleys foreclosed the Union Democrat office to satisfy two mortgages totaling 545 dollars, tied to Alfred Swinford and the paper’s troubled finances. The piece notes Pomeroy’s abrasive conduct but stops short of gloating, calling the world a queer old place.
