By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. I understood you to say the mayor and police tendered their services to you?
A. As soon as I arrived in town, it was supposed by the people that the sheriff would take charge of it. The mayor came to me, and tendered the services of himself and the policemen, and the policemen and the mayor were in front in anything done where the danger was supposed to be.

The members of the posse got no pay at all.
