arrived in hamilton I 1 found three of the gloomiest gloo trustees I 1 ever saw ilmy in my life they looked sad and forsaken but offered no apologies or explanations concerning their schemes they blamed a chicago party arty for a good part of the mischief I 1 dont 11 belle belie believe belleve e the trustees have much left but I 1 think the chicago man beat them out of about all they had raised on the fraudulent warrants because the paper was made out to his order and aadne tle tie made no promise to hand over the money to them as lie he disposed of ot the papers apers in fact however neither of tiem teem them can approximate how much paper they had issued the total amount cannot be less than for the three townships this and the fact that posey county has discovered an apparently illegal issue of wom WOW on certificates by a former trustee has caused consternation among the people of that section and may result inan in an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of
