Mokes Wrong Impression About Charge Filed by Surveyor Osborne.

The Jasper County Democrat state's that W. Frank Osborne, county surveyor, had filed for two days’ pay twice and that the commissioners had allowed the claim. The Democrat suggests that It was probably an error, but the editor of that paper did not try to inform himself or he would have found that Mr. Osborne did not file for two days twice. The claim that Babcock took to be a doubling up was for labor and team for another man for one day at each the Burk bridge and the Walter bridge. Mr. Osborne had paid these claims out of his own pocket and the commissioners reimburst him. Mr. Babcock will explain this to his readers, but he could have avoided doing Mr. OBborne an injury if he had taken the pains ta have secured the information in the lrst place.
