QUEER

On Monday the committee on

sentod a lengthy report 10 tho Assem-
bly, in which thoy charged that Frank

1850 sold cut stone valued Mt Sl54.20

thnt the sum OF S29.25 wns paid by

the Warden, and tho balance, sl24.95,
vas carried from page 394 OF t1s pris-
on ledger to pBge 397 on the first OF
January, 1887, but that before tho
18th OF February, 1897, tho date OF
the Wardeu's retirement from office,
the account was erased by running
red lines through tho eame aud that
no part Of said balance hns ever been
paid to the State. II also charged
that on or about tho 4th day Of
January, 1856, ono Frank Craven, on
gagged in road building for tho coun-
ty OF Ormsby, paid 10 Warden Bell
S27 for waste rock hauled from the
State Prison and that no record Of
said transaction was found upon the
books OF the prison. This charge was
backed up by the snidavits OF Frank
Craven and his son, James Leroy Cra-
ven.
This report, smirching the charnc-
ter Of MIR. Bell and branding him as
a thief, was read in the Assembly and
published in tho papers in tho West
ern part OF tho State before mn oppor-
tunity was given him to defend him
SELF from tho charges mado by tho
committee.
On Tuesday the Assembly inyesti-
gated tho charges made against Mr..
Bell and resolutions we're unanimous
ly adopted generating him and OK
