ED. DINES WILL
STAND TRIAL
The bond issue for $80,000 was
defeated last Saturday. The vote
stood 1261 for the measure and 1013
against it. The measure required
a 60 per cent vote to carry and this
failed by 104 votes. As the vote
shows a good majority of the peo-
ple in the county are In favor of vot-
ing bonds for a court house and jail.
The main cause that the bond issue
failed at this time was that a large
number of people were dissatisfied
with the way it was managed and a
lprge number really did not under-
stand the matter.
A great deal of talk has been made
in regard to the bonds since the elec-
tion and the opinions seem to be
that a bind issue put squarely be-
fore the people for a courthouse and
jail will carry. The vote by precicts

owing to the opposition of the ''Farm-

less than the necessary 50 votes for
passage.

measure now goes to the governor.
