Chas. Baker we're down from
Bayhorse last Saturday.
An interesting point has de-
veloped regarding the Stase's
proportion of the taxes due from
the counties of Custer and B.ng-
ham, whose treasurers had the
county monev deposited in Bun
ting's bank. Governor Steunen-
berg gays J. p. Spalding, treas
urer Of Custer county, on the 5th
of February ordered the bank at
Blackfoot to turn over TO tn
State Treasurer the sum of S4,-
436,78 which was nearly the
amount due from that county for
State taxes. The cashier of the
bank drew his check for the
amount and sent it to George Ell.
Storer, the State Treasurer, but
before the check could be return
ed for collection the bank had
failed. Spalding claims his re-
lease upon the ground that the
transfer of the money had been
ordered before the failure but
the State officials assert they
cannot hold any bank response

but must look to the county
treasurers- Further, the State
does not take cognizanee of any
thing tut cash in its money deal
ings with the various counties.-
