his surety for $4,000, are now endeav-
oring to find him.
IN connection with his position with

On June II County Superintendent
Auber I. Bright gave Mr.. Graham his
check for $50, 000, which the rules of
the board required should be deposited
with the city treasurer, upon whom all
vouchers are drawn in pay for the bills
against the school board. Instead of
depositing this check with the CITY
treasurer Mr.. Graham took it to the
Chicago National bank and deposited it
to his account as school agent. On the
Goth of June Mr.. Graham drew his
check for $4,000 on the Chicago Ma.
tlonal bank and deposited it with the
city treasurer to the credit of the state
dividends. The balance of the 0.OOC
he kept for his own use. AT the last

failed of reelection as secretary.
The amount of property to be turned
