Under the new county government. act,
cision, went into effect today. the county
surveyors salary is reduced from $40 to IS
per diem while actually engaged. and the
official court stenographer is placed on
salary of $50 per month. Under the Old
law the stenographer was paid at thc rate
of $3.50 per day during actual service, with
an allowance of 10 cents per folio for the
original transcription and cents per fc'io
for additional copies. He is still paid the
same rate for transcribing, but. regardless
of the quantity of work he performs in
court, his salary will not be affected. Some
time ago District Attorney West rendered
an opinion in which he held that the new
law should go into effect on the 10Th ult,
sixty days from the date of its passage.
but subsequently Judge Ballard decided
that this interpreted should date from
the day the bill was signed by the governor,
and his opinion was given precedence. The
fee allowed for reporters services is still
$3.50 per day, but it is now paid by litigants
into the county treasury.

WAKELEY'S BAD DEBTS
BORROWED ALL THE MONEY he
COULD
And Then Gave Worthless Checks.
Woman in the Case-His Wife Ex-
pected to Arrive Tomorrow

There is no longer any doubt that
F. o. Wakeley, the real estate broker
with offices on Second street, who left
town quietly on Sunday, did so for the
purpose Of defrauding his creditors. The
full extent to which he managed to get
himself indebted to persons about the
city is not known. but yesterday nearly
$1,000 had been reported. Most OF this
amount was secured on loans, and
Wakeley gave notes in return for them
When he had obtained all that he coulo
in this way he gave out number OF
small checks on Saturday and got them
cashed. When these were presented al
the banks on which they were drawn
the holders were informed that Wake
ley had no money on deposit.
When he came here from Chicago
about eighteen months ago he was
walking on his uppers. His brother-in-
law, Otis M. Fuller, who lives at 1855
West First street. took him in and fur
nished him money until he could get
something to do. Wakeley finally got
started in the real estate business and
did we'll. Previous to this time he had
borrowed amounts from Fuller at dif'
ferent times aggregating $3.50. He left
this, as he did his other debts unpaid.
When Fuller learned of his departure
he at once made an effort to locate
Wakeley, and telegraphed to different
railway points in order to ascertain in
which direction he had gone. He was
unable to obtain any positive informa-
ton, but thinks that he has got into
Mexico Yesterday morning he re-
ceived letter from Wakeley mailed at
the postoffice in this city, containing a
bill of sale for his Office furniture. 1t
was too late, however, as the furniture
had already been attached by other cred
itors.
1t is stated that Wakeley recently
fell under the influence of certain dis
solute woman, and his downfall Is at
tributed to this source. His wife had
been left in Chicago and they had cor
responded regularly up to short time
ago. 1t had been arranged that she
was to join him here. Mrs. Wakeley de-
cided to surprise her husband. and
wrote to Mr. Fuller, her brother, few
days ago. that she would leave Chicago
on last Monday for Los Angeles. She
will arrive here tomorrow. and has nos
learned of her husbands disappearance.
