Hastcned tho End
Iowa City. April 13.-W. ]. Hotz. ex-
clerk of the district court of Johnson
county, died at his home in this city at
Q o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr.. Hotz retired from the county
clerks office in January last and since
that time expert accountants have
brought to light the fact that in the last
two years of his Germ 1880 of the funds
belonging to the COUNT have disap-
peared and ere not accounted for
The expert, j. c. Cradle, who was en-
ployed by the board of supervisors to
look up the books of the clerks Office,
made his report showing the shortage
to the board OF supervisors Thursday,
and the chairman of the board called
on Mr.. Hotz. who was sick at his home
and told him of the shortage.
Mr. Hotz was very Ill and was unable
to make any explanation. but said that
IL was all mistake, and that he would
be able to explain matters to the entire
satisfaction of the board and expert as
soon as he was able to be about. No
official action was taken on the report
OF the expert, the matter being post
poned. as the board believed that the
shortage vas not a defalcatlon, but
rather to mistakes in bookkeeping. The
books have not been kept in good shape
on account of the lack of help furnished
at the clerks offices, the board Of SUI
pervisors supplying only one deputy to
assist in the work. 1t Is believed the
tangle into which his affairs have got
1astened his end.

Early, April 10 Wednesday was an
eye opener for the men that own the
Early telephone exchange. For about
two months past the farmers between
Wall Lake and Early have been work
ing on the telephone system. and as the
Early exchange men have a stub line in
the country they object to the farmers
line coming to town. Some twenty one
men of the country line, with d. w.
iCrofutt az lineman, boldly entered town
and located phone in the drug store
of Hirons & Graham. They also sc.
poles and strung half mile of wire and
just finished when the marshal ordered
them to stop work in the corporation,
but 1t was too late, for another phcne
had been planted half mile farther
out and wire strung on the fence posts
before they entered town to work, and
SO the connections We're made and Early
had new telephone line.
There are thirty miles of telephone
line now estab lished in Sac county, and
thirteen miles completed, with fifty
miles more that will be built before har-
vest. All of this has been done since
