Yuba County's Grand Jury Expert
Placed Under Arrest

MARYSVILLE, May 10-H. H. Love,
the Butte County expert recently en-
ployed by the Grand Jury to examine
the books of various officers of Yuba
County, and who in the prosecution of
such work has been engaged for the
past four months. was arrested to-day
on a warrant sworn out by Distrist At
torney McDaniels.
Love is charged with presenting a
fraudulent demand for services rem
dered in connection with his employ
ment
In an examination of Love held before
the Board of Supervisors, during the
course of which he was put under oath
and catechized concerning the demand
he had filed, Love swore that his claim
covered no service not actually per-
formed within the Courthouse or Hall
of Records, and within or upon the
dates specified.
1t appears that the Supervisors, hav-
ing grown suspicious of bills presented
covering his previous two months
services. deeming that they were in
excess of any amount properly his due
had employed a Waterman to keep tab
upon him, with the result that contra
dictory evidence from both watchmen
was introduced to show that Loves de-
mandS were made as calling for nearly
double the actual time rendered by him.
while on ten Of the dates in which he
claimed to have put in a full day the
detectives stated that he had failed to
appear around the Courthouse or Hall
of Records at all.
In the course Of his labors expert
Love had frankly stated that he pro-
posed to grill certain county officials
who, in retaliation, set trap for their
accuSer.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
PORT LIMON Costa Rica) Nav ..
A special train from San Jose reach
ed here tonight, having on board reg
ulars of the Costa Rican army. 1t is
reported that more are to arrive to-
morrow, and also that certain bodies
have been dispatched to the border line
between this republic and Nicaragua.
1t is alleged that Nicaragua has de-

ages from Costa Rica on account of
certain acts said to have been not

provided for the appointment of a gen

entire charge of the unloading of grain
at this port, and who was to be ap-
pointed by Bishop Quigley and paid by
the Carriers Association, Mr.. Connors,
the present contractor, merely to draw
