FRED LE0NARD'S ACCOUNTS
HE OWES THE COUNTY $4,000 OR
NOT A CENT.
Expert Anderson Makes Another Re-
port on the Condition of Affairs
Which Is Referred to the County
Attor1ey-Trees urer Lynn Will
Call In a Lot of Warrants-Othcr
business of the Board of County
commissioners.

Upon the judgment of the county at
torney depends 81, 400 of Fred Leonardo
money. 1t is like this: When Mr..
Leonard quit the office of county col
lector his books balanced, according to
his figures, but there were those who
said he owed the county the sum Of
SIS, 900. Now this is large sum of
money, and if he owed the county,
why the commissioners wanted it paid.
So the services Of r. R. Anderson, who
has done plenty of figuring around the
county building for the past two years,
at good salary, were brought into requi-
sition. He has just completed the work,
with the urging assistance of Commits
sioner Geddes, who has aided and
prodded him for several days, and yes
terday the report was submitted to the
board.
The books balance if tax sales were
made at a rate allowing the collector
So per sale and the eX-collector owes
the county 2,400 if SO was the amount.
1t appears that before the taking of
the office by Mr.. Leonard, the collector
was entitled to S. per sale for delin-
qUency, and according to custom he
took the So. There is something in the
law Wl41Cil says dDOQI 90,
and to settle this point the report of
R. R. Anderson was referred to the
county attorney for an opinion.
The board allowed a lot of bills yes
terday, and the same will be made out
by the auditor as soon as he can get
to work today.
Among the important business trans
acted was the filing of statement by
w P. Lynn, presenting SO warrants
oh L
yon, amounting, interest and all, to
S5,011.22, as part payment on the county
bonds The treasurer announced that
all the bonds have now been taken, and
that on the 10th he will issue a call
for all warrants outstanding, which
can be redeemed with the funds ac-
quired from the sale. This will be
hailed with delight by those who hold
county paper and wish to get rid of it.
Powers, Straup & Lippman, attorneys
for A. E. Cahoon in his suit for 81 PA a.
alleged to be due for material on State
road, called the attention of the court
to the fact that other bills of the same
character were being paid, and offered
to stop proceedings in court if this
bill was paid The offer was referred
to the county attorney for an opinion.
Minor business was transacted as fol-
lows:
Fred Carlson's bond to sell liquor at
Murray was approved, application
granted and license issued.
The Union CASUALLY & Surety COM
pany reported as having examined the
elevator and pronounced it good. This

The same action was taken on the
report of the judges of the district
court fixing the bonds of the new
county commissioners at $4,000 each.
The other bonds were voted as agreed
upon at the last meeting.
Petitions for the changing of the lines
of Crescent precinct and school dis
trict 80 were read. The first was set
down for hearing on December IA and
the other referred to Christopherson
