Many of the persons through

out the country who have heretofore gotten out spokes andsold them to the two factories in this place,

are now turning their attention to

the hoop pole business. White

oak poles are being brought to the

new factory in large quantities.'

During the past three weeks

there have been from Swindles to a foot of snow on the ground, and

the temperature having been un

commonly low during the greater

portion of the time, the sleighing

has been excellent. No better time

to haul logs, wood and hoop poles,

has ever been known.

Co. Commissioner Baker is in

receipt of a circular letter describing a new roadway that ia certainly

novel, and seems practicable. It

ia something on the principle of a wooden railway, and his worked satisfactorily where it has been tried.

It might be tried on the proposed

road west of town. By the way,

the people on the Stanford road ought to be getting up their peti

supply of "drinkin' licker" had

not been procured. This state of

affairs seemed to have a disorganizing effect upon the persons pres

Full Text of the Judge's Special Finding,

Tho court in said canso being requested by said parties to make a special finding of the facts dduced in evidence on the trial thereof and its conclusions of law therefrom and all tho evidence in said cause having been heard, tho couit specially finds therefrom as follows, to-wit: 1. That the bond sued on in this action was signed ' by each of the defendants answering herein, as sureties for their principal, Lawson E. McKinuey, who, said McKiu-

nov. was Qualified us Treasurer of;

Monroe county, Indiana, on the 9th day of September, 1879. 2. That Faid bond was so signed by all the defendants on the day it so bears dute, to-wit : September 8th, 1879. That it was so signed iu the Auditor's office of said county, and in the presence of the Board of Commissioners of said county, then in legal session, except by said defendants, Wooley and Lindley, who I find signed said bond else

where and without the presence of

said Board. 3. I find that said bond was delivered by said McKinhey to said Board of Commissioners and by them accepted and approved on the same day it was so signed as aforesaid. 4. I find that said McKinney's said term of office of Treasurer expired on the 8th day of September, 1881, when ho became his own successor and qualified as such. 6. That at the expiration of his first term of office he was chargeable of the various fuuds of the said county, and funds coming into his hands as such Treasurer, the aggregate stun of $9,560 69, no part of which he had on hand at the beginning of his said second term, or accounted for during the continuance thereof in the way of extending the same. Although I find he did properly charge himself with said funds iu the books and accounts kept in his said office, as well as in his several annual reports and settlements made by him in connection with the Auditor aud Board of Commissi oners of said county. 6. I find that in the execution of suld bond said defendants did not appear before said Board of

Commissioners in a body, but signed the same at different times during the course of the evening of tho

day it purports to be executed a4 aforesaid j that except John. V ooley and Hiram Lindley, wbo signed the same without the presence of said Board, said d-indants appeared before said Hoard ; said defendants appeiM".a before said Board in legal f ..aion, and in their, presence s2Ud said bond, and in answer to questions put by said Board made answer to their pecuniary responsibility; that during the time said bond was being signed Henry F. Perry was present, whom I find was at aasue time deputy auditor of said county ; also that during part of said time the signatures of said defendants were being made to said boud, Jas. F. Mauley, the Auditor of said county, was preseut, but I Hud that at no time during the signing of said bond, or afterward, any one of said defendants signified in any way, further than bus already boon found or might be inferred

by signing, and answering the questions aforeauid, that he acknowledg

ed the execution of said bond ; that no one of them was asked by said Auditor, or deputy auditor, or other person, nor did any of them declare their acknowledgment of said bond. That there is no evidence tending to show that Auditor Mauley, before whom said bond purports to have been acknowledged in person, took the same, but that Henry F. erry, the deputy auditor aforesaid, acted for and in his stead. 7. I find that the following named defendants, to-wit: said Hunter, Blorgnn, Gorman, Hill, Holtzman senior, and Junior, Mercer, Leonard and Ilarrold, signed said bond as aforesaid, relying on a promise and agreement made by said McKinney that one Irvin Grimot, Fletcher SlcConnel, and John Hall, would also sign said bond us Joint and several obligors with them, that when said last above enumerated defendants signed said bond as aforeanid, the mimes of said Grimes, HcConnel and Hall, were among the names of said obligors thereof in thebody thereof without erasure, but that, at some time thereafter, but before the said bead was delivered or accepted, a pen line was drawn through the names of McConnel and Hall aforesaid, and without being executed by either one of the said three, was delivered and accepted by suid commissioners. 8. That one of said commissioners

had actual knowledge that the name of

cam urimes was so in toe body of said bond as an obligor, and knowledge that he did notfexecute tba same, at the time of its acceptance and approval by said

ooara. 9. I find that said defendants sien

ing said bond with said agreement that (.aid Grimes, McUonnol and Hall would slsc sign it, hi.d no knowledge Mini they bad not signed said bond until the defen

dant on said oona in this action complained of. 10. I find that all said olhar defendants signed said bond as aforesaid without agreement of any kind with said McKinney, and without knowledge that the names of said Grimes and iloConnol and Hull were in the body of sid bond, or that they were to sign it or that said McKinney so represented or that said names were crossed or that thnv had or had not

signed said bond until default herein of

said JiuKinney as aforesaid. As conclusions of law from the forogoing finding of facts : 1st. i find that said bond was not at tho time of Its execution-, delivery and acceptance by s&d commissioners, acknowL edged by an officer iiuthoiized tu take the acknowledgement of deeds, by said defendants or any one of them. 2d. I find, that by reason of tba said agreement of tho said McKinney to and With said defendants and on the faith of which he procured their signature to said bond, and then its delivery Without said names of Griinos, McConnel and Hall thereto, and thii with such actual and constructive knowltdge on tho part of the said commissioners as is shown by the foregoing special finding of fiicls herein, that the same in law operates as a release of said defendants thus induced, and that the same would operate to release all said defendants. 3rd. Therefore as a final conclusion of law herein, I find that plaintiff cannot recover in this action, and so find for the defendants. K. 1). TKAliSON. NOTES. The finding of the court disposes of $9,560 09 of the defalcation, leaving less than five thousand dollars to be accounted for by the men on the second boudt
