Murphysboro Daily Independent October 16, 1923

    The board resumed business Monday, adjourned to meet again the 30th inst. 
During the meeting a large amount of business was transacted among which was the
disposal of claims of reward which under the old system, was standing allowance
for the arrest and conviction of horse thieves.

    James ALLEN was allowed the amount claimed for arresting TINTSWORTH, who
stole a horse from Mr. ADSIT.

    The claim of Abe MORGAN and S. A. GENT for arrest of Jack SMITH, was
moderated and the sum of $126 was allowed.

    The claim of Tom BOYLE for the same services was deferred for explanation.

    On Motion, Ben L. WILEY, the clerk was instructed to issue 10 percent
interest bearing county bonds for amounts of $500 each.

    Other important business was transacted, which will be published in this
paper next week.  During the session, debates between Mr. Joe CULLEY of DeSoto,
and Mr. THORPE of Carbondale, were animated and interesting, giving life to the
dry, monotonous subjects that are required to be handled.  The following
election was ordered:

    Notice is hereby given that on Monday, the 29th day of December, A.D. 1873
at the regular places of voting in the different townships, in the county of
Jackson and state of Illinois, a special election will be held to vote, "For or
against the issuing of new bonds for the amount of $40,000 in lieu of
outstanding evidence of county indebtedness, as provided for in a certain act of
the legislature."

    "An act to enable counties, cities, townships, school districts, and other
municipal corporation to take up and cancel outstanding bonds and other
evidences of indebtedness, and find the same approved March 26th, 1872, in force
March 26th, 1872.  Gross' statue chap. 27, sec. 42 and 44.

    Dated at Murphysboro this 10th day of December in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventh-three.  By order of the board of supervisors."
