day upon an indictment returned by the
grand jury for forgery. He gave $4,000

rants, and according 10 Sweeney's confess
sion he stole several hundred dollars
worth of warrants and forged indorse-
ments thereon. The grand jury report
censures the other county officers for inn
perfect bookkeeping whereby such Grim.

The count on which 0'Rear was indicted

ton therefor. 0'Rear came from Wichita,

lector Saunders. The Lsadsr made an un-
successful bid for the county printing last

occasion TO roast the commissioners
Scores Of citizens complained to the COM
missioners that their warrants were stolen
from the auditors office, and grand jury
investigation vas ordered. Sweeney, who
skipped to British Columbia to avoid
prosecution, returned and made q con-
fession duplicating O'Rear as the princi-
pal forger.
