AN INCOMPETENT OFFICIAL

The Free Press says The TIMES
lays the blame for the failure of the
stock law upon James Drysdale. and
was thoughtful enough to add las
we anticipated" It, the Free Press
lays the blame upon @. T. Boxlsy.
The Free Press gets it's information
from Mr.. Drysdale. The TINES pre-
fers to abide by the county court
records. Nowhere does the records
show that Mr.. Boxley called to his
assistance two or three or any mum.
Der of county judges to cast up the
returns, nor do they show, nor does
the law show that it was Mr.. Box
ley's dutY to do so. The law SAYS
that the county clerk shall call to
his assistance two justices of the
peace or two county judges to cast
up the returnF, etc. The county
court may have employed an attor-
ney to see that the papers were in
proper and legal form It would
have been wise prscaution in the
court, realizing the ineficiency of
the clerk. The fact that the court
employed an attorney to assist the
county clerk did not relieve Mr..
Drysdale of his official obligations.
He had simple dsty TO perform,
the section of the statutes bearing
on that point was very plain and
simple 1t needed no lawyer to in.
terpret it for him. The people
elected him county clerk and they
expected him 70 perform the duties
of the office. That he neglected it
and the people will have to suffer a
great Inconvenience and the county
be put to large additional expense
goes without saying.

Minister 70 SPAIN LOST.
BELLAMY STORER CANNOT BE
FOUND.
Last Heard Of in Paris When Spanish
Ambassador, the Due D'Arcos Met
Him-No Word Since.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Bcllamy
Storer, United States Minister to Spain
has disappeared. The State Depart
ment has received no notice of his re-
ception by the Spanish Government
and is in ignorance of his where
abouts. He has not been heard from
for some time, and Washington Off
Gals are considerably concerned about
him. 1t was admitted by Secretary
Hay today that the Minister was "otli-
cially lost" and that any information
which would lead to the discovery of
his whereabouts would be thankfully
received.
When Minister Storer was transfer
red from Belgium to Spain he was in
structed to proceed to Madrid at his
earliest convenience. Nearly month
ago he cabled the department that he
had left Antwerp for Paris, and init
mated that he would proceed thence
to the Spanish capital almost imme-
diately. This was the last commune
cation received from Storer.
Since that time he has been located
but once, which was about three
weeks ago at Paris. When the Due
dArcos, Spanish Minister to the Unit
ed States, stopped at the French capt
tai on his way to this country he had
an interview with Storer, during
which it was agreed that both diplo.
mats should present their credentials
simultaneously in order that the for.
NAL restoration of relations between
the United States and Spain should
! take place at the same time. Storel
informed the Duke that he would re
main in Paris only long enough tC
give the Spanish representative time
| to reach Washington. This informa
ton was given to Secretary Hay by
the Minister from Spain upon his ar
rival here. The arrangement met will
the appreciation of the Secretary o
State, and everything progressed
smoothly until Hay arrived at tn,
/ State Department on Monday morn
ing and learned that no information o
Storer's appearance at Madrid ha'
been received.
