Walter Stev ns an.I Chaq. Myeri
have formed a partnership for the
practice of their profession. They
mukf one of the i"ongest law firms in
the city-and one that will evidently,n-
jjy a large priiotice. Mr. Stevens'
business has grown beyond one man's
ability to care for l« and the firm of
Parmenter & Myers, of which Mr.
Myers was a member, enjoyed a lucra-
tive practice. Mr. Stevens was th^
first county attorney of Comanche
county, and Mr. Myers was liisdt puty.
They aitf accustomed to working to-
gether and with the large acquaint-
ance that each has they will certainly
be kept busy. It is not necessary t',
wist the new firm success. The indi-
ldual members have already won
their spurs and with their c. mbin<(l

The present board 1 ad bequfatlwd to them an indebtedness against
the ccurt fond of something like five thousai.d dollars. The estimate
was celculated to pay the expenses of the year 1905 and discharge the
eld indebtedness. The amount required for court expenses ear, not be
foretold with any degree f accuracy, as no one can foietell how much
J crime will be committed or how many persons wil! be tried orthere-
♦ suit of the trials. All that the commissioners can do is to estimate the
4. amount that will Vie required for eourt expenses and use their ben ef-
2 forts to keep the expense within the limit, but this is largely beyond
) their control. Every other fund except the court fund is practically
upon a cash basis, and it is believed that the court expenses will be ma-
terially reduc d with the assistance of the mdgo of the district court.
J A compa.tive >tHtement made 011 July 1st showed t'.iat the ex-
pnses ol the county under the present board were nearly ten thousand
