More About Street,

There has been some criticism ex-
pressed as to the action of the county
board in having ex.Clerk Street charged
with embezzlement. Col. Keathey, the
county attorney, nsrrates the following
as n of the facts justifying the board
In it's action:
About two years ago one Patrick
Ratigan was convicted In the district
court of an assault with intent to do
great bodily injury. This was in con.
nection with a well known homicide case.
Judge Reed fined him $500, and the costs
amounted to $670. The statue Is az
plain as the nose on a mans face that
all fines and forfeltures go into the county
treasury for the benefit of the school
fund. If the county owed Street a mil
lion dollars for salary as clerk, he can't
retain one cent of a fine or a forfeiture,
because neither fines nor forfeiturss be-
long to the county, but belong to a spe-r
cial fund. The board has no other con.
troll over 1t than supervisory, that Ia, to
see that all fines are paid into the hands
OF the treasurer; and then to see that the
treasurer, after receiving them, truly and
lawfully accounts for them. The law dl.
vides and distributes them among the
school districts of the county, and the
board has nothing to say about the pro.
portions.
Now then, the record of the Ratigau
cass shows that Ratigan paid to Street,
long ago, as clerk, the full amount of his
fine, $500 and the costs, $3.50 The
t~reasurer's office was then, about a
year ago, just across the hall from
Streets office; and 1t was bis duty to
step over there and pay tina. $500, into
the hands of John Bennett, the treas
urer. He did not do 1t; he has never
done 1t; he has refused to do it; and
he has never given the board any excuse
for not doing 1t. He had no mo re right
to retain that money In his possession be-
yond a reasonable time, necessary to pay
1t Into the hands of the treasurer, than If
some Main street merchant had enstrust-
ed him with $500 to carry up to one of
the banks, and he had kept it for q year
or more without handing 1t back to the
merchant.

NIPPING NEWSPAPERS.
One Arrest Made and Others TO o
low q Break up the Petty
Sneak ThievinR.

For some time there has been great
annoyance caused by the stealing Of news.
papers. Subscribers have missed papers
carrier boys have been soolded for neg
lecting their work, and much trouble has
been caused. All the papers in the city
have been annoyed more or less In this
way, and this becomes so great that steps
have been taken to break up this sneak.
thieving. Some have thought that much
OF the trouble has been caused by news.
boys stealing papers from subscribers and
selling them, but 1t seems that much in.
justice has been done to the boys, as
boys of a larger growth have been doing
most Of this stealing. To protect the
boys as well as the subscribers, THE BEE
has lately stamped 'News Boy" on all
papers sold to the Boys for sale on the
streets 80 that any boy found selling
papers not thus marked may be brought
to the front and made to explain. One of
the ways worked by men, old enough to
know better, is to step up to the door of
some business house, early In the morn.
Ing before it is opened, and taking the
paper from the latch stand and pretend
to read it until any paasers.by has got out
of sight, and then walk off with the pa
per.
On account of this late watchfulness
one young man yesterday found himself
In a very unpleasant situation. James
Keith, of the Nonpsreil, saw him take a
paper from the door of the Pacific house
barber shop, and putting it In his pocket,
next to the Nonpsreil office. Keith
watched him, and as the young man sat
at breakfast, reading the paper, Deputy
Marshal Bates walked in upon him, ar
rested him for larceny, and
locked him up. Later in the
forenoon he was brought before
Judge Aylesworth and the facts set forth.
He gave the name of Robert Moore, but
it appears that his real name is James
Owen. he has been a bookkeeper for
Cooper g. MCGEE and other house here,
until lately he got out of employment.
He offered to bring In numerous wit
nesses as to his good character, and while
not denying taking the paper, explained
that he did not intend to keep the paper,
but simply read 1t aud return 1t to the
door In fifteen minutes or 30. He said
he was In the habit of buying his psperr,
but did not happen to see any newsboy
on his way to breakfast, and thought
1t would do no harm to borrow the paper.
Judge Aylesworth said that If it had
been a sack of flour or something else,
this explanation could not clear away the
of larceny, but Its being a news.
paper he felt like giving the benefit of
doubt to the young man rather than
up a judgment against one who
had borne a good reputation. He accord
ingly let him go.
It is safe to say that the young man
will learn a lesson from the humiliation
caused by the affair, and it Is hoped that
1t will serve as a warning to Others. The
newspaper men have determined that this
annoying pilfering shall be stopped, and
no matter how s'high up" parties may
be, arrests are to be made as fast as the
acts can be detected.

Correction.

Or. Pearce. Dentist, feels compelled
as a protection to his business, to again
say that the report Just put IN circula-
ton that he is about moving to Kansas
City, or any other city is false, and has
no foundation in fast. As he is not
conscious of having done anything
criminal in this community to neces-
state his leaving, it is to be hoped that
his enemies will be contented to tol-
crate him until he gets ready to go of
his own free will and accord, but such
change is not likely to take place IN
the next nineteen years. He therefore
requests his friends to turn a deaf ear
to all such reports.
