LEFT HIS books IN BAD SHAPE.
A Deputy Treasurer of Wiscon-
sin Toun5y IL, Trouble.

sin County in Trouble.
APPLETON. Wis, Nov. 16.-Arthur
Mill, deputy treasurer of Outagamie
county. has disappeared, leaving his
books in a tangle, and his present
whereabouts are unknown. He is
son of August Mill of Kaullauna, the
county treasurer, and has had full
charge of the office since his fathers
election. He should have made his
annual report to the county board
Thursday, but left Wednesday morn
ing and sent q telegram to his father
that he had gone to Chicago on busi-
ness. He left Oshkosh Thursday morn
ing. and no trace of him has since been
found. A committee has been set to
work on the books. II has been found
that Niill has not posted his books since
July /, but after two days work no eyi-
dence OF a shortage has been found.
The bank account has proved to be
all straight. which makes it probable
that il there is any shortage it will be
small comprising the odds and ends
of what few tax certificates are not
checked up and similar small items.
The reason for Mills fight is believed
to be an ENHANCEMENT with a woman
at Kaukauna He is alleged to have
borrowed $1,SC0 from the woman, and
she is said to have been pressing him
for payment of late. The fact, to-
gether with the snart into which he had
got the business of his office, is believed
to have impelled him to fly from the
accumulation of difficulties which he
dared not face
