contain errors which made them useless
in determining the amount of seed grain
| furnished. or as basis Of final settle
ment. (See exhibit No. | hereto at
tached.) The delivery checks and prom
issOry notes deposited with the treasurer
of Brule county were then examined
and find that some of the delivery check
are not represented by notes, and SOM
notes given are not represented by de
livery checks. This condition OF affairs
made it necessary to check oyer more
| than six hundred accounts to find WI

giving notes therefor, and who had Civ
en- promissOry notes without surrender
ing the delivery checks. This gives TIL
total value OF grain delivered, but no

checks, for which see exhibit marked Nc

seed grain delivered is ascertained to b
