HERE'S A "GO!o
The County Funds "ShOrt" Over
$4,000.

A feature of the annual report of
the County Auditor and Recorder has
escaped comparatively unnoticed, to-
wit: that in which shortage was re-
ported-in the positive and clear wav
in which only figures can tell such
things-in the accounts of County
Assessor w. w. Yeates.
The Auditor reported balances un
accounted for as follows, to. Wit: On
poll tax account, $215; on hospital
tax account, $3.50; on road tax &C.
count, SOFA total of $1439.
This, the TINES 10 informed, does
not represent the full amount of the
SHORTAGE" as over 5000 is known to
be due on another fund. The total
shortage" will therefore exceed the
sum of $4,000.
When the Board of County Com
missioners met, last month, this short
age was reported to them, but no
mention of the fact was made on the
minutes. At least, the TIMES repor-
ter failed to see it, if any there was;
and the matter might have remain ed
buried in the secret recesses of the
pigeon holes of the Recorders Office,
but for the fact that the matter has
become a common subject of street
talk, and that the defalc alton is re.
ported to be much greater than i,
really is.

Under the above caption the TIMES
publishes telephone communication
between myself and DR.. Higgins, the
"Kurrener" of Altuias. The whole
of the communication is entirely inn
aginary. never asked permission Of
his highness, the Coroner, to hold an
inquest. The statute gives me that
authority and clothes me with that
power. After it was known that four
men were lying dead, buried und,r
the snow, various parties came to me
and asked me, as ex-ollicio Coroner,
to hold inquests. l declined, alleging
that there was not the slightest evil
dence that the men came to their
death by the hands of another by
criminal means, and it would only be
putting the county to useless expense.
In m, telephone | told DR.. Higgins
that l did not deem it necessary to
hold an inquest and only out OF cour-
tesy to him informed him of the fact. l
had repeatedly advised against an in
quest.
The Doctor must have greatly de-
sired to inform the public that he was
Doctor Estes's successor, fact which
the community will readily concede
in more ways than one. Doctor Estes
was considered to be educated and
skil!ful in his profession, but outside
OF it a damphool, aud Higgins is
making noble effort to rival him, es-
pecially in the latter respect. So far
as Picotte is concerned | have moth
ing to say. expect a dose from him
every chance he gets, but did not ex-
pect so fragrant a misrepresentation
as he is reported to have given the
TIMES. Hereafter we will hold our
own inquests, trusting, however, that
no similar catastrophe may ever again
occur.
The operator, Mr.. Worswick, knows
the truth of my assertion with regard
to the dispatch. Yours, etc,
JAMES &. Dow.

for the item, the TIMES having got

the scheme, as he has just introduced

even better make it rule not to de-
liver any washing until it is paid for.
BY following this rule they will save
themselves from actual loss, as, if the
washing is not paid for, the clothes
can be sold for enough to pay the
wash bill.
