This afternoon, Recorder Strickler b "sitting on" Indian Tom, Harney Tom and Dick Tipton, the three gentlemen of tho Si wash breed, who made tho chargo of illicit sell ing of liquor to themselves against the Chinaman, Ah Joe, yesterday. The Chinaman proved an alibi yes terday, nnd the Indians were ar rested aud are now under an exam ination on a charge of perjury. It w likely they will bo found guilty. There has been too much of this making complaint for the purpose of jetting fees aud a free trip to Port end, oa the part of these Indians, wd the sentencing of u few of them the "skookum house" for three four years, would have a very lutary etlect. On Thursday, the supreme court decided a case that is of peculiar in terest to the people of this county, as it was the outcome of the most arrant piece of official torn-foolery kuown here for a long time. When the bridge across tho river was built, the county court agreed to pay 15,000 of tho cost. Accord ingly a tax was levied at the proper time to raise the funds. In Decem ber, 18S0, the bridge was completed, and the taxes not yet having come in, the county court authorized County Judge Shaw to borrow tho money at the bank of Ladd & Bush, and pay it to tho bridge company. TTiis was done, and warrants were drawn bearing 8 per cent, interest, and given to Ladd & Bush. Tn May, after tho taxes had begun to come in, the warrants were present ed to County Treasurer Giesy, who refused to pay them, claiming he had not sufficient funds. The two warrants were then redrawn in war rants of 1,000 each, but the above named official refused to pay them or any pare of them, saying that the bank had no legal claim against the county for 15,000, because ho had not handled the original 15,000. He felt "injured in his dignity," or words to that effect. This refusal rather suprised the bankers, as well as the county court, and everybody else, and Bush at once began a suit for mandamus compelling Giesy to pay the war rants. Judge Boise granted per emptory writ awarding Bush judg ment for the amount, and costs, but Giesy failed to respond to tho writ, and after a short absence from the city, on returning, Judge Boise was met by one of the attorneys for the county treasurer, and induced to modify his judgment nja having previously failed to file findings of facts in the case, and hismodilication left the matter in Giesy's hands virtually, and did not allow costs. Both parties to the suit then ap pealed, but Giesy's appeal was dis missed, and on Thursday the supreme court granted Bush a per emptory mandamus against Giesy, aud costs of action. The case has caused the county to pay interest on 15,000 for over a year, while sufficient money to pay the warrants has lain idle in the treasury or at least it should have and has thrown a large bill of costs on to the county. Giesy has ten days in which to move n rehearing, which ho will likely do, as lie don't want to pay the 15,000 if he can help it. The matter has destroyed the county's credit, and it was impossible for the court to borrow any money last fall to pay current expenses. Engagement Announced.
