County Commissioners Finn, Schappert and Smith on Saturday reached a decision in the matter of the appeal of Contractor Wilson J. Smith from Architect Osterling's estimate of tihe cost of making the alterations called for in the revised plans for the new court house. They have agreed to allow Contractor Smith $45,5G5 for the work and have served notice on him that unless he resumes work on the new,million dollar temple next Thursday morning they will Uka the contract away from him and finish the building themselves under the direction of Architect Osterling. The amount they have agreed to allow the architect is more than double tho amount that Architect Osterling swore that the work is worth and still they have concluded their investigation without so much as a word of censure for the architect, silence on this pojnt going to indicate that they are satisfied with Osterling as a lightning calculator ami that a difference or mistake of $25,000, granting tt.at the estimate they have placed upon the work is fair, in a job of $45,000 is, in the opinion of the county commissioners, hardly worth mentioning.

He was arrested and made a stout fight against extradition, but was brought back finally to the jurisdiction of the Kansas courts and placed on trial.
