How Wallace and Others BOr.
rOwed Money Which Was Not
Returned.
MIR. Charles w. Overaker, late book
keeper of Sheriff Wallace, and like the
Sheriff is under an Indictment for alleged
completely in the escape Of Chas. Young,
has become involved in transaction OF
q decidedly crooked character. The
facts boiled down are substantially
these:
MIR. Overaker has held the position
OF book-kseper in the Sherlff's office part
OF Ex-Sheritf Zeigler's term, Spring
meiers, and until quite recently with
Wallace. One OF the accounts which
he managed was the "Fee Account"
1t consists Of fees due to jury men, &c,
and are kept until called for
The amount OF these fees is sometimes 8
transferred from one Sheriff to another.
The amount on hand when SpriE gmei'
er went out of office was $9l6. A lew
days ago Mr.. Otte, WAlace's new book
keeper, discovered, on going over the
books, that the total Of unpaid fees from
the Springmeier administration was over
$3.50. OF this sum about 50, 900 had not
been accounted for.
Mr.. Overaker says he is NO defsulter
but that, under Springmeier's direction
he loaned money, as has been the Gus
tom under all Sheri1s, and that he haC
made two or three iDjudicious loans
These loans were to be made good with
in the next ten days.
Mr.. OVeraker says: "In making my
transfer to Wallace to screen Mr..
Springmeier, l made no transfer Of costs
hoping 80 receive the loans spoken o
within few days, and then expected to
make good the loss. In the meantime

Mr.. W allace, being advised against me
by his friends, who claimed that was
the cause oi his being indicted for the
escape of Young, had, on looking over
the Fee-boOk and finding the account
short, pushed the matter to publicity"
he mentioned G. W. 9. Johnston, Rich
ard Mathers and Delaney, Gerke & Co.,,
as among the borrowers. Mathers paid
back the money. Tne loss would be
about 80 500, and would fall upon Mr..
Springmeler.
Mr.. Overaker and Mr.. sprinemeier
state that Mr.. Long, the attorney for
Wallace and Springmeier, had in his
possession ample security for any
amounts due by Overaker ia his &C.
counts. They also say that Wallace
borrowed $1,000 from OVeraksr for eles-
tioneering purposes, and that artet-
wards he got $4,000 more. This was,
however, paid back.

Capt. Jack Miller to his steward,
'and you may put some plums in the

The ssPIatos.',

A new tribe of aboriginal Indians
has been discovered near the head
waters of the Brazos, who have been
so quiet that even their existence
has heretofore been unknown to the
government or any of the whites.
They have never asked for ponies or
blankets. Their tribe is called the
'Plato" and they number about 500.
They have been living with the Com
anches, and have behaved like little
men. Very recently, however, they
have notified Colonel Hatch that
they desire to go to Westcalaro
agency at Fort Stanton. They. re-
presented that they are very poor,
and that if they are transferred it
will be necessary to furnish them
two or three weeks rations of beef
and a military escort. They are to
be transferred and fed.

Jenny, you little fre-worship-
er," exclaimed Maud one evening,
as, rested and refreshed by a bath
and a fresh toilet, she entered the
drawing-rOom and found the child
standing upon the hearth gazing
earnestly into the depths of the bril-
liant fire. "What are you thinkin g
about?''
thinking how nice and warm
and comfortable it is here, and how
dreadful it used to be out in the
streets all alone in the cold" and
Jenny shuddered at the recollection
of his old sOrrowful life, and the
tears came into his eyes. "Oh, Miss
Maud, you are so good to me, and l
love you SOL"
Then he came close to where she
stood, and softly kissed the hand
that hung at her side on a level with
his lips.
''Dear little Jenny! Have 1 made
you happy, little boy, since l have
had you with me?" And she knelt
down beside him and drew him ten
derly to her breast.
Thus Howard found them, locked
in each others arms, with the dusky
shadows of twilight gathering
around, and the ruddy freight
cleaning on their happy faces.
Tenderly he bent over them, and
gently raising Maud, transferred the
clinging hold of her yielding hands
from the neck of the boy to his own
broad shoulders.
"Will you give her to me, Jem-
my?"
'No," said Jenny, stoutly; and
as Howard led her to a sofa and
seated her by his side, the boy fol
lowed them, and buried his head in
her lap.
"Half of her, then, Jemmy?" smil-
ed Howard.
"Y-e-s, half-perhaps," said Jem-
my, his regard for Howard strug-
Cling hard with jealousy in his gen
erOus little soul.
And thus, with Jemmy's arms
around her neck and Howard's
round her waist, Maud sat; subdued
and silent with the sense of her own
exquisite happiness, until Jeems the
magnificent, in all the glory of hOli-
day attire and preternaturally shiny
boot legs, broke in upon the quiet
scene, and announced, in his most
solemn tone, "Dinner!'
