Anderson is Arrested and Released
on His Own Remembrance

Anderson Is Arrested and Released
on His Own RecoSnizance. -
West Superior, Special, June so. X.
Anderson, county clerk for Douglas county,
was arrested to-day on a criminal warrant
charging him with the embezzlement and
fraudulent conversion to his own use of
$1,000 OF county funds. The warrant was
returned by Sheriff Hoehle in person, and
Anderson was arraigned before Court
Commissioner Kellogg, who issued the writ.
Anderson demanded an examination and it
was adjourned until tomorrow, pending
which he was allowed to 90 upon his own
recognizance. Anderson claims that the
prosecution is instigated by his political
enemies, and that he will be able to clear
himself before the St. Louis Republican con-
vention convenes He says that his under
standing of the affair from the wording Of
the complaint is that he is charged with
embezzling $1,000 on May l. 1893, but that
is under state law requiring him to bal
ance accounts with the county treasurer
the first of every month, and not on ac-
count of any other matters. The general
understanding about the city, however, is
that the alleged drawing Of salary for
deputy when no one was occupying that po-
sitiOn is the cause of the prosecution. ~.
