HELPING THEMSELVES OUT.
County Commissioners Generosity
Toward the Germania Bank.

Those officials about the county Of
fees who have been interested in the
reduction of the tax on the assessment
of the Germania banks capital stock
by the board of county commissioners,
which has been declared illegal by the
county attorney, now find that there
was method in the commissioners dis
play Of generosity. Some of them are
either directly or indirectly interested
in the reduction-not to any large
amount to be sure-but interested just
the same. The only reason why their
interest is apparently trivial is because
their financial interest in Germania
bank stock is not greater than it is.
Commissioner Moritz owns several
blocks of the assessed stock over
which this question of abatement is
in evidence, as does also the Adam
Decker estate, in which Commissioner
Quehl has a personal interest as the
son-in-law of the late Adam Decker
This commissioners brother-in-law
George Decker, also owns several
blocks of the stock, and it is said, upon
quite reliable authority, that many
close friends of other commissioners
are among the list of stockholders.
But in the cases of Commissioners
Moritz and Quehl there is no question
about their interest. The formers
name appears in the list Of stockhold-
erS on f1le with the clerk OIL the ulStfICE
court, as do also the names of the late
Adam Decker and George Decker. TIC
be sure, their holdings of the defunct
banks stock are trif1ing, The total tax
in these cases, without penalties, does
not amount to more than $40, but just
how many of the other stockholders
are friends of the other members Of
the board besides Commissioners Nor
itz and Quehl cannot be measured.
Thus it will be seen that when the
commissioners sought to abate the as
sessment they were not only abatlng
obligations certain members of their
body held to the county, but those Of
friends of 1.-The boys" as one commits
sioner referred to his colleagues yes
terday in speaking of the matter.
Commissioner Kellermann denies
that he was in any way responsible
for the attempted abatement further
than to vote for it after other mem
bers had worked the case up. In fact,
he was not in favor of the reduction
until certain members came to him,
he says, and asked his vote. He
thought that County Attorney Ander-
sons decision put an end to the mai
ter, however, and he could not see
what there was in it to raise such
cry over.

MONEY, BUT NO HEIRS.
John Swanson Lived Like Miser
and Dies Suddenly.

Application was made yesterday to
the probate court for the appointment
of an administrator of the estate Of
John Swanson, who died Wednesday,
Sept. l. in rooms which he occupied
at No. 3 Phalen creek. Judge Will
rich will act upon the petition when
he returns to the city.
Swanson was a miSer and he is said
to have left about $4,000 in cash. This
money has not been found, but it is
thought to be buried some where in
the vicinity of the house where the
man died, and the neighbors are try
ing to locate it. Swanson's home con-
sisted of two small rooms and up to
a few days prior to his death he
worked as wood sawyer, in spite of
the fact that he was suffering from
consumption.
Many times during his last illness
he admitted to neighborS that he had
hid away several thousand dollars, but
although he knew he was going to die
he positively refused to tell where the
money could be found. He said that
he had no relatives in the world to
whom he could leave the money
he had worked hard to get it and
he did not intend that others should
enjoy the money.
The man died suddenly from a hem
orrhage, resulting from consumption,
before a physician could be called
The rooms in which he lived were
searched, but only $20.63 could be
found. In addition to this, however
there was discovered a certificate of
deposit on the Scandinavian-Ameri-
can bank for $1,000, which is now in
the hands of Coroner Nelson.
