deposited In the First National bank
of Pawnee. The bank 10 pay Speed his
percentage fee by deducting it from
each tax paymcnt Fees lor cases a.
ready settled were to be paid from
the same funds. Thc board also
agreed TO adjust the disputed taxes
by accepting full valua ION for 1s9s
aud so per cent of the value for 1899.
Fraud is Charged
This compromise with the cattle
men, the petition alleges. was made
to defraud the county. and to enable
Speed to collect his fees without fling
claim against the county in The way
required by law, and TO draw fees
from all Of the territorial and county
funds. instead OF only the county CON
tilgent fund Speed and his confcd-
crates made # appear thai the cattle
in question were through" or tran.
sient cattle when as a matter Of fact
they had acquired an actual situs hav-
ing been taken into the Usage coun-
try after March / Of each year The
cattlemen paid to the bank for 1898
and 1899 a total Of s21.S27 30 in taxes,
of which the county got s16,3S2.Os
aud Speed s4.995.41 Speed never
filed claim against the county and
none was ever allowed by the board.
It is alleged that Speed paid Dunlap
more than 81 200 for his services.
The second count is a history of a
second contract for the collection of
the 1900 taxes. The Legislature in
1900 enacted a law prohibiting the
collection of o.her than court and
te~rlto ial taxes from persons living
in Indian reservations attached 20
counties for judicial purposes. The
assessed valuation of cattle in the
Usage country that year was 1851
S3l which made the full amount Of
all taxes s3s.SO5s9. The cattlemea
declared that they would pay only
court and territorial taxes. The ques-
was to be argued before Judge B. T.
Hainer at Perry September 8. 1900
and on August 10. 1900, the commits
sioners Of Pawnee county decided %
employ Speed to represent Pawnee
CGu1 y la couit, a..d Coatest the aew
law It was agreed by contract that
he should receive as his fee 20 per
cent of all Usage taxes collected in
ac.ual litigation. Speed to pay all his
per onal expenses. Not only did
Sreed fail to inforce the collection OF
all taxel. it is charged, but he failed
to enforce the collection of the court
and territorial taxes. as authorized
under the new law of 1900.
A Contract Violation.
In violation of his contract, as the
petition alleges. Speed advised in con
junction with Dunlap at board
meeting on December q. 1900, that
the board had a right to compromise
the taxes and TO remit 40 per cent OF
them upon payment Of 60 per cent
He again advised that his fees be
pad through the Fir.t National bank
OF Pawnee. instead of requiring him
20 present claims against the contin-
gent fund The board only Dunlap
and Martin being present, accepted
his advice and made the compromise
with the ca atlemen. The full amount
of taxes for 1900 was $SS 3O5.49, and
the amount lost to he county by the
compromise was sl743O69 Speed s
fee was sS,,93.S1, making his total
fee SS,7S9.22.
