The Petoskey City Record
October 17, 1883


           We are creditably informed that Mr. Sheriff DICKINSON has said
         that even if he knew a man had committed a murder and he could
         lay his hand upon him, he would not arrest him unless compelled
         to do so by a warrant placed in his hands. Mr. Sheriff DICKINSON,
         through the criminal connivance, or equally criminal carelessness
         of a deputy whom he yet retains in office, and for whose action
         he thus assumes personal responsibility, lost a prisoner under
         sentence to the pentitentiary. He made a pretended search for him,
         and when he presented his bill for expenses, the board of super-
         visors very properly refused to allow said bill, on the ground
         that such expenses were the direct results of his own official
         mad-administration. Therefore he is mad, and therefore his state-
         ment above. Verily Mr. Sheriff DICKINSON is almost as valuable
         to Emmet county as our late lamented treasurer.
