Accused of Collecting

State Demanded Examination Of
the County Treasury.

Mansfield, o., July 22.-(Spl)-Arm-
ed with credentials and authority from
the Auditor of State and the attorney
general, Albert @. Blackburn, ex-au-
ditor OF Jefferson county presented
himself at the office of the County
Treasurer yesterday morning and de-
manded the keys and books for the
purpose Of making an examination OF
the county treasury.
This action was brought about
through the alleged irregular proceed
ings in the matter of the settlement
of the alleged back taxes against the
Aultman s. Taylor Company, OF this
city, and the estate of the late ex'Con-
gressman,M. D. Harter. Suit was orig
inally brought about two, years ago
to recover from the two defendants
about 100000 for taxes alleged to be
due the county. ". +. Charters, OF
Sidney, had been employed as tax in
quisitor.
A few weeks ago a compromise was
effected in a hearing before the loca
Common Pleas Court, by which The
sum of $4,000 was to be paid in liel
of the full claim of 100000, the Ault
man & Taylor Company being freeC
from any taxes, and the Harter estate
to pay that sum. This seems to have
been agreeable to all parties concerned
hut the method of the distribution O.
tbe S35. 900 was considered to be VIC
lation of the law, and the interference
of the State authorities has beer
made.
Instead of the entire sum of $35,OO'
being turned into the county treasury
the attorneys for the inquisition KEEP
out of it, it is alleged, the sum o
S15,s79, alleged TO be attorneys fees
and SfoO for expenses, the latter bill
being unitemized and it not being clear
ly apparent that the attorneys ha'
been legally employed, as the Count,
Commissioners had not sanctioned
their employment.
