The Campbell Settlement.

Asecond step in the settlement
Of the county treasurer matter
was taken today. In the State
bank there were $4,000 on depos-
it to Mr.. Campbell's credit, and
there was some question as to
whether it was all county money.
This money was turned over to
the comptroller general today and
by him credited to the county.
This leaves about 81, 500 yet to
be accounted for. AS previously
stated, suit will be entered against
the surety company on the bond,
it having raised the question as to
whether the shortage occurred be-
fore or after it went on the bond.

Salem Charley'S Alleged Wills
Mr.. DePass Has Returned From
Los Angeles, Cal, Apparently
Not Much the Wiser.

Union, March 1.-Mr and Mrs
V. K. DePass returned Yesterday
from Los Angeles, CAL, where
MIR. DePass had gone as attorney
for Mrs. John Hopkins and her son
&. &. Alexander, who it is alleged
was left an estate of S142, 900.
Mt. DePass, when seen this
evening, said that he had gone
there and had gone over very
minutely everything connected
with the estate, and that he had
seen the only other will said to
have been left by Charles Hill
alias "Salem Charley" and that
it was really written with a lead
pencil on a very ordinary piece of
paper and that it was dated sub
sequent to the Hopkins will. He
compared the signatures and writ
ing and so far as human eye could
discern they were the same. He
stated positively that there were
no other papars or Wills, but that
alleged Massachusetts heirs claim
the estate. Mr.. DePass seemed
of the opinion that the heirs from
Massachusetts were after the
wrong man, but thought the two
wills were wills of the man who
died there some years back, and
so far as was commonly known
had not cent. However, he had
a vault in ope of the banks with
two keys to 1t, one held by the
bank authorities, the other by
! Hill.
When Hill died the key was
turned over to the public admin
lstlator, who with the bank off
GERS opened the vault and found
the $4,000 in spot cash.
Ii it is true, as is said in Los
Angeles, that Hill on his dying
bed stated thai he had no roia-
tives, the alleged heirs are after
the wrong man.
MIR. DePass says that after
consultation with the attorneys
for Mrs. DrucilIa Drigg, who
holds the alleged will, the hearing
of the case was postponed from
May - to some time during the
summer.
This is about all the attorney
would divulge at present.

dy came up last night and sur
rendered to the sheriff, saying he

to agree and quarrelel continual-
ly.
Reedy claims that Frank shot
him twice before he shot and he is
slightly wounded IN the hand.
His coat also shows, too, where
some bird shot passed through,
but they did not penetrate the
skin.
Reedy shot and killed Frank
with shot gun and his state,
ment does not show why ne was
carrying the gun or why, accord
ing to his own version of the af
fair, he shot Frank after the lat
ter had emptied both barrels Of
his gun and was not in u position
to do him further injury.
