purchase by reason of a mistake
| in the bill rendered.
Purchases were continued, and on
November Is. 1892, Weber owed
$25.92 and on that day his account
WAS credited d with $55, the amount
Of a third school warrant issued to
Walker, Evans & Cogswell, and
they charged to him $50 in cash,
which they charged to him on the
account. There is no way by which
| T can decide whether this warrant
was raised or not, the figures and
the body of the warrant being in
Weber's hand. This left 90 cents
due them; the account was left
open and purchases continued to
June II, 1893, the additional
purchases amounting to $51 21.
Adding the s25,92 the $50 and the
$51 21 together we have $137 IL,
the amount of the account. In the
meantime he paid $40 25. On June
II fourth school warrant issued
to Walker Evans & Cogswell for
SAL 8. Adding the $S5, the $40 25
and the SAL SS together we have
$1SS 13 exactly balancing the ac-
count. There is no way by which
T can decide whether this warrant
($41 SS) was raised or not the
figures and body of the warrant all
being in Mr.. Webers hand. Pur-
chases continued and August l,
1898 the account amounted to 80
so. This WAS credited with $6 50
the price of school commissioners
book bought of Walker, Evans &
Cogswell and charged to Weber
before the 41,88 warrant was issu-
ed but subsequent to that time paid
for by the county commissioner
Walker, Evans & Cogswell getting
the money and crediting Weber's
account with the amount. The IS
so taken from the So 60 leaves
Weber due 50 10 on the account,
no other payment having been
made.
The four warrants collected by
Walker, Evans & Cogswell and
the price of the school commits
sioner's book, paid for by the
county commissioners, ($66,5o,
$S6.25,s41, ,SS,s6.59,) make total
of $2s9.13 of public funds paid to
them. The total amount of all
articles charged on this account,
including the school commits
sioner's book, that were purchas-
ed for the public schools and of
which they received the benefit, is
$S4.75. From the $2S9.13 take
the $S4.75 and there is left 1854, 80
paid out of the public funds on
Mr.. Weber's private account.
1t is, perhaps, but proper for
me to say in this connection that
Walker, Evans & Cogswell do a
very large business, and that these
transactions occurred in the ordi-
nary,run of their business, and
that they are wholly innocent of
any wrong intention or corrupt
dealing, having had confidence in
Mr.. Weber's honesty.
In October, 1891, Mr.. Weber
drew from the public school funds
on general account $1S6. can
find no vouchers showing for what
purpose this money was expen-
ded.
In August, 1891, a warrant on
the school funds was issued by the
trustees of School District No. l
to Minus Black fol $6 for labor.
This warrant was raised to SIG,
and the changes seem to he in Mr..
Heber's hand.
In February, 1892, a school

o. School District No. 8 to ole D.
A. Bell for SO for school supplies.
The SUPPLIES were never furnished,
