Sheriff Hill met and made arrangements for
! the settling up of the affairs Of the Sheriff
with the county. 1t was Enally agreed that
they should Immediately make good the de-
6ciency to the county, which was done BY
paying 81, 29O 4S into the Treasury. 1t was
further agreed that NJ Esther, the deputy,
should have the further handling of the money
and the bondsmen should be Unidentified for
the advance cut of the emoluments of the
office. This was all agreed to by Mr.. Hill, who
was willing to accsde to anything which might
help to straighten matters out
OTHER CHANGES.
Mr.. Powers, who has heretofore been tax
ing charge of the Jail at salary Of 500 now
makes way for Mr.. Hill who will take charge
of the Jail at the same salary. He also re-
ceived S75 per month as Street Commissioner,
but this now goes to the bendsmen together
with all other emoluments of the office.
THEORETICAL BOOKKEEPING.
During the meeting of the bondsmen Peter
Cavanaugh asked the Sheriff to explain how
the books were kept. He said that Estner
had kept the books and he and Powers had
handled the money and keys. 1t was mys-
terry to him where the money had gone to.
Esther never had anything to do with the
money. Elstner then described how he had
kept the cash account. He had simply kept
it from Hills tags. That is if Hill collected
a license and showed him the tag left after
the receipt had been given. He presumed
from the tag that the cash had been paid in
saw the cash and was never allowee to. There
then arose dispute between Hill and Esther
regarding the salary to be paid the deputy.
Hill claims that Elstner has sverdrawn his &C.
count $500. .....-
THE DEPvTY's SALARY
Deputy Sheriff Estner has been drawing
salary of $3.50. Hill asserts that he under
stood him to say that he would attend to the
the duties for $50 which Esther denies and
points to the fact that the books show a
monthly entry of $3.50 for his salary. He
positively asserts that he never agreed to
work for a cent less, but from now to the close
Of the term he agrees to accept 5000 per
month and the other FIFTY gees to the bonds
men.
THE ACCOUNT.
On June first the amount due from Sheriff
Hill was as follows County s., 299 AS,
city SLOT. On July 9th he paid in 81 ,Os2
and yesterday the bondsmen paid the balance,
s., 299 4s leaving things all square. At the
rate the Office has been paying the next six
months ought to clear up the account. Since
Hill first entered the Office the emoluments
have amounted to nearly $4,000.
ELsTNEK BOUNCED.
Since the above was put in type there has |
been material change in the situation. |
About 5 o'clock last evening Hill revoked his
order making Elstner deputy and appointed
Warren WATSON in his place. 1t is said that
when he FIRST went into office he offered the
place to WATSON who refused it. Mr.. Esther
walked away on receiving the notice and the
0ondsmen hearing of the change gave him
'rders not to give up the books, as they
night be mutilated
INFgRIATED BoNDsMEN.
Later in the evening the bondsmen had
mother meeting. The action of Hill had
them to the utmost degree and
hey consider that Hill, after having caused {
hem to make good the deficit, is now play
ng double game. 1t is further limited (

Ter is at the bottom of his troubles and
hat he is the proper man to put out 1t

'ithst to the Sheriff, when Powers, who j,
ID been associated with Hill in the office. a,
rang toward Cavanaugh and remarked that ST
man alive could apply those epithets to Hill is
