Last week Stutaman presented a bill for ll.4H2.66 for transferring twentyseven prisoners from Ebensburg to the penitentiary and twenty-six to the Huntingdon reformatory during the past year. The prisoners were usually taken in bate he* of five or six. but the sheriff charges separate mileage for himself for each person, at the rate of ten cents per mile. For the prisoners th»* rate charged, is six cents per mile. The county commissioners will not pay the bill unless required to do 90 by process of law.-— Indiana Times.
