SUSPICIOUS CHECK FOUND

TRANSACTIONS, So Matter Can
n He Cleared Up.

The board Of education has suspend
ed Harry w. Earl. storekeeper for the
board. pending an investigation OF MS
accounts by the finance committee. Ihe
cause OF the investigation was the dis
covsry Of check which Earl had re-
ceived for certain books and had CASH
ed and which II is claimed he had not
accounted for. Some Interesting mat
ters will probably develope when the
case Is Investigated by the committee
at Its meeting on Monday, as Mr.. Earl
claims that he offered to turn over the
check to Clerk Moreton at the time the
transaction occurred and Mr.. Moreton
Is equally as positive that no such Of
fer was made by Earl.
The check was for 500, and was CIV

committee on Wednesday and an ex-

unsatisfactory TO the committee and
more thorough investigation was de-
cided upon.
A complete statement Of each princi,
pal of all transactions with Mr.. Earl
will be handed TO the committee by

be gone over. The statements from the
principals were asked for several days
ago preparatory to checking up all the

THREE SUITS
IN ATTACHMENT.

Three attachment suits aggregating
he sum Of ,il,75o were filed in the dis
trlct court today against Charles 7.
Knight and Mandy l.. knight. The aiii-
davit in each suit alleges that said
money was obtained by means Of false
and fraudulent representations in re-
lation to the sale Of certain mining
stock purchased by plaintiffs from
Knight.
Il. Il. Hatcher filed the first complaint.
In which he asks judgment against de-
PENDANTS In the sum OF $1,000. The COM
plant alleges that on Aug 1, 1902, de-
PENDANT, Charles T. knight offered TO
sell plaintiff 10000 shares OF stock In
the Ina Consolidated Mining and MILL
Ing company for the sum OF $1,000. The
company Is incorporated IN Idaho, the
capital stock being 100000 shares Of
the par value Of one cent per share.
knight fraudulently represented to
plaintiff that the company was moor
porated for 100000 shares OF the par
value OF 81 per share and also falsely
represented that the stock he offered to
sell plaintiff was treasury stock and
that the proceeds of such sale would go
into the treasury Of the company for
the purpose OF developing the property.
Upon such fraudulent mlsrepreserta-
tons defendant succeeded IN inaa -
plaintiff to purchase said stock and 10
part With his money for the same. II
is alleged that defendant Mandy l..
knight received said money from
Charles T. Knight, knowing the same to
have been fraudulently obtained. II Is
also alleged that both defendants have
left the state and that plaintiff stands
ready TO return said stock TO defendant
Knight and demands that the purchase
price thereof be returned to him, to-
gether with interest on the same.
George r. Twitchell was induced to
part with sl,25O OF his money for $500
shares of said stock and he asks iudg-
ment against the defendants for that
amount. The allegations In his com.
plant are practically the Sam as tn
other two complaints.

shares OF the stock by reason Of lht
