Donnelly, pub lisher of the weekly Central Ore gon ian at Prineville. The Supreme Court said Don nelly published a "humorous but iomewhat derogatory satire" re garding a hearing that the county court held in connection with a sheriff's bond. The opinion, by Justice George Bossman, said even Fowler did not claim the article was false. "In the absence of special cir cumstances," the opinjon said, "a defamatory publication in order to be actionable must be false." Justices Kenneth O'Connell and Gordon Sloan dissented. The case was dismissed in Crook County by Circuit Judge E. H. Howell. ')loyers could be used to pay ex pense of keepine the man in iail aid the balance could be given io nts lamiiy. Cottar pointed out. He said such an arrangement would also alleviate some welfare expenses paid by the county to amines oi prisoners. .

Board members authorized O'Roke to consider the matter with the district attorney, and asked for a definite proposal to be presented at the next board meeting.
