A Suggestion.


Mview Of recent cvents suggestions in
regard to the safer keeping of tho money
lot the county would seem to be in order
and it appears to tho writer that system
better than the present one could easily be
devised. Now the County Treasurer can
,nse the public money for his own pur-
poses, a. long - he can lay the amount for
which he d accountable before the County
Commissioner whenever called upo3,
while he u ct the same time responsible, it
the funds ON hand should be destroyed or
stolen without any fault Of his. Now l
would suggest that some such plan be
adopted a. the following:
LIST. Some Bank be designated as County
Depository. and for al moneys on deposit
in said designated Depository the Treas
urer shall not be held responsible.
I'd. The Treasurer shall pay all public
moneys into said depository within twenty
four hours after receipt of same.
Sd. No payments shall be made by the
Treasurer except by checks on the desig-
mated depository, and each check shall be
endorsed with the purpose for which it is
drawn.
4th. Said checks shall not be returned
TO the Treasurer but be delivered to the
County Commissioners by the deposltory.
9Th All receipt books and books with
blank licenses shall be numbered on the
stubs aswellas on the receipts and licenses
Such . system would not of course make
fraud impossible, but it would lessen the
chances tor it aud make discovery easier.

1eetllg Of the Board d Commissioners
An Unfortunate DEVELOPMENT.
A Deficiency in the County Treas
ury Found.


The Board of County Commissioner
met q the Clerks Office in Bozeman. OF
Monday morning. Present Commission
|ers Duke. Wakefield, and Arch Graham
Clerk. Absent-Judge p. w. Meadow
The regular routine of business was taker
up, embraced in which was the repula,
quarterly settlement with the Count,
Treasurer. Major 8. B. Bowen, the Treas
arer, on being called for, failed to nut il
an appearance, and It appearing to th.
Commissioners that he had prrposel,
absensed himself, his books were taker
charge Of and examined by the Board
ana deficiency of about $4,50O was dis
covered. Major Bowen's bondsmen wer,
sonned OF the fact, and at the instance d
NJ: Frank Harper, one of the latter, com
plant was filed In the office Of Justic,
0edawick, who issued warrant for tn,
arrest Of Bowen, which Was placed In tn.
lands of Sheriff Clark, and that office,
Proceeded TO the Yellowstone valley, and
On the following day found Mai. Bower
at the ranch of . settler on that valley, il
4 questionable state of mind. He wa.
brought before Justice Dedawick and
waived q preliminary examination, and I.
bond Of 5000 was required for Ills up
pearance before the District Court to an
sweS the charges contained in the com
plant. Since then Doctor Monroe. who
examined him at the time, expressed .
willingness TO make affidavit to the effec,
that Major Bowen was not IN condition
Of mind to properly understand his action
in The matter of waving an examination,
and Justice Dedawick has RENTED the
waiver, and hearing of the case 10 to be
had ct 4 o'clock this afternoon. In tho
meantime Maj. Bowen has been arranciLe
for settlement with his bondsmen.
This is an unfortunate affair, and one
that 10 universally regretted. Maj. Bowen
has been engaged in various business en-
terprises here, IN al of which he displayed
The strictest integrity. He has always been
regarded - one of our most enterprising
citizens, and has enjoyed the esteem, con
idcnce and friendship of all, which makes
he present affair more unpleasant.
Before adjourning Thursday evening
he commissioners appointed Mr.. ]. D.
McC amman Treasurer. TO fill the unex.
oired term of Major Bowen, which, we
believe, will prove satisfactory to q ma.
ority of the tax payers Of the county.
We understand that q strong petition.
recommending Mr.. John s. Mendenhall
or the position, was handed into the Com
nissioDers Thursday afternoon, but was
ignored by one of the Commissioners, who
lad another man in his mind for the place,
and . very good man, too, if are cor
ectly informed,) and the two Com
nissioners agreed to select q third
nan, and Mr.. McCamman was the gen.
leman chosen. A better man could
lot have been found in the county;
till, We think Commissioner Wakefield
hould have shown omeregard for public
expression in ths premises. It is proper to
tate that Mr.. Mendenhall was absent and
Knew nothing about the action of his
riends in the matter.
