mentioned in the LIGHT.
The volcano began boiling in earnest
last week, when Receiver Mcnamara,
one of the co-recevers with Mr.. b. f.
Yoakum, of the $. A. e. A. p.
railway, brought before Judge King
the matter of asking Mr., Yoakum
to show cause why he should not
be removed from his office because he had
endeavored TO make contract for the 5.
A. and A. p. railway with Messrs A. Il.
Kerr & Son, to haul rock from Muldoon
ouarres to the Galveston jettieS at very
low rate, at the same time that he. loa-
KUN. was interested in the Galveston
letty contract.
Judge King considered the matter hur-
riedy and caused the order to be made to
Mr.. Yoakum 10 show cause why he should
not be removed. Since then he has cooled
little and has given Mr.. Yoakum an OPP
portunity to vindicate himself.
But the sensation was sprung anew
yesterday afternoon late by Receiver
Yoakum filing an affidavit before Justice
Adam against Auditor Cooper, asfollOws:
This day personally appeared before
the undersigned authority, b. +. Yoaknm,
who, being duly sworn, says on oath: That
he is informed and has go3d reason to be-
lieve and verify believes that on May IA,
| 1892 A. G. Cooper did. with intent TO de-
fraud, cause one C.. 5. Wheeling, cashier
of the receivers of the San Antonio Il
Arkansas Pass railway company, to make
false entry in a certain book Of accounts
kept by said Wheeling as such cashier,
to-wit: Said Cooper did with such in
tent to defraud, cause said Wheeling TO
enter in said book a balance on hand
in excess of the true balance to the
amount of $500, when said Wheeling did
not have such balance on hand, but in
truth and in fact said $500 Of said bal
ance had previously been fraudulently
taken by said Cooper and fraudulently
converted to his own use, and said Cooper
had given to said Wheeling receipt
therefor in writing, and said Wheeling
held said receipt and did not hold the said
cash of So 500 so caused to be entered in
SAID balance on hand, and said Cooper
well knew said Wheeling did not have

knew that said balance so entered was In
excess of the true balance to the amount
of $500 Contrary TO the statutes in
such cases made and provided against the
peace and dignity OF the state.
