Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 January 1908 — More McCoy Prosecution Expense. [ARTICLE]

More McCoy Prosecution Expense.

Jasper county is not quite done withlpaying the expenses of the McCoy prosecutions. The bill from White county is soon to be filed. Some Rensselaer people had figured that the costs would be about S6CO, but it is said they will exceed $2,000. No funds are available to meet the bill and it will have to carry over until the county council makes an appropriation. Why the bill has not been filed long ago is a question, and whether it was because onr neighbors thought we did not have the money or whether they did not need it until now, is a mooted question.. A little longer waiting and Jasper can plead the statute of .limitation.
