PALS TO CASH UP.
On last Tuesday, the 9Th of the month, at
meeting of the County Commissioners, he
was called upon to settle with the County
and City for the licenses collected by him for
the quarter ending June 30th. He came be-
fore the Beard and answered that he wsuld BE-
obliged to ask for few days time as some Of
the money had not been paid over He was
then given until two O'Clock to nske good
his account and at the hour designated failed
to appear.
rHR SOCKS BANNED. Is
The Commissioner then ordered an exanir
nation of the books and for the past two days
they have been undergoing thorough over
looking. According to to the Ggures of Mil
ton Esther, his deputy, there is ROW due the
County by the Sheriff, the sum of g, 800;

As soon as this fac. was ascertained the
Commissioners, in accordance with the law
in such cases, cited Hill to appear before them
at ten . clock this morning. II he does rot
make his appearance at that hour the Gem
missioners will proceed to collect from his
bondsmen, declare the Office vacant and ap-
point sheriff for the unexpired term.
HILLS WHEREABOUTS
1t was extensively rumorsd yesterday that
he was in Virginia City endeavoring to raise
money and make good his account. HIS
friends insisted that he would be down on the
evening train, but he failed to appear and his
bondsmsn, some of whom had been in Nir-
ginia City looking for him, state that no trace
could be found upon the Csn,stock. His ap-
psarance this morning at the hour appointed
is still matter of conje cture, bvt it appears to
be the general impression that he will net be
sa hand.
HIS BoNDsMEN
On Tuesday Gov. Adams, one of his bends,
men, asked to be released from the bond, but
his request WAS not granted, as it Came too
late. Other bendsmen also attempted to get
out but were too late. His bonds covered
$50 900 and the names are perfectly coed.
John Rosser went off his bonds some
months ago. Fer some time past there have
been whispers of rot:enness in the Sherlff's
office in spite Of the fact that one Grand
Jury pronounced it all right and the last
Grand Jury declined to investigate it on the
ground that those who deemed an investi
CATION necessary were actuated by political
motives.
HOW He CAME TO BE ELECTED.
In the Fall election of 1873 split &C.
CURED in the Republican party OF this
comfy, and the sore headed Republican
formed a combination with the Democrats
for the purpose Of reform. Llovd Hill,
who was at that time doing retsi. butch
ering business opposite the Mint. was Sc
lected as the reform candidate for Sheriff,
and, unfortunately for himself, was elected.
He entered the sfice on the first Of Jan
sary, 1879. -Hs.. as4.
