FORMER COURT CLERK
PLACED UNDER ARREST
Charles Brown Says He Was I'm
aware of Shortage and Talks
of Spite Work.

Charles Brown, former clerk Of the Grim
inal Court, was arrested yesterday and held
at the county jail until late in the evening
when he secured bondsmen. The cause Of
his arrest was a shortage OF about SIS in
his accounts while he was clerk of the
court The grand jury returned an indict-
men, against him yesterday, charging him
with appropriating money which belonged
TO County Clerk Davis, who was Browns
employer. The offense of which Brown
was charged was pocketing money paid
into the court as fines and marking the
fines of the docket.
Brown resigned his position as clerk of
the court several months ago TO accept a sit
uation with an Illinois machinery firm and
an examination OF his accounts by Clerk
Davis revealed the shortage which caused
his arrest. Brown said last night that he
had no knowledge OF the SHORTAGE Hntil he
was placed under arrest and in speaking
OF the action taken by the county OFF,
Gals In having his case placed before the
grand jury. he said: II can offer no ex-
PLANTATION except that my arrest must have
been the result OF spite work. | had not
been notified OF any shortage In my ac-
counts and while there might have been a
snsnt discrepancy, was given chance
20 make the matter right. Had been told
or the shortage, / would have paid IL as
soon as | was satisfied that the shortage
really existed and unless il was n case of
4 IRE spite work. I am unable to imagine
why i was submitted TO this humilia tion
without chance to prove my innocence -
Friends OF Mr., Brown are very indignant
over his arrest and claim that while he
might have made few mistakes I'm HIS ac-
counts that footed up a total OF about s20
none OF them were Intentional He will be
given a hearing before the court to-mor-
row. and IL IL said that the matter will then
be adjusted without prosecution.

THREE ASSOCIATIONS
IN LIQUIDATION
Officers Say Savings Department
of Trust Companies Spoil
Their Business.

Three building and loan associations. or
ganized under the State laws, with head
quarters in Indianapolis. have gone into
voluntary liquidation within the last day
or two by filing the necessary papers with
the State auditor These companies are
the Statehouse Building Association, State
house Building Association No. and the
United States Building and Loan Institution.
These companies are all under one man
agement. w. w. Hubbard is president and
Hills +. Hackedorn is secretary. The office
of the concerns is in the Baldwin block.
The officers of the company claim they will
be able to pay their indebtedness in full.
The reason assigned for going out of bust
ness is that there is a lack of interest in
this class of concerns and that the member
ship has been Withdrawing.
I'VE believe that the day of the building
and loan associations is past" said Mr..
Hubbard last night. 1.-THE trust companies
with their savings departments are taking
the place of these associations. We found
we would be unable to conduct our business
with profit and decided to go out of business
while we are in a condition to pay in full"

County Printing Contract.

The contract for the county printing will
not be let tomorrow by the Board of
County Commissioners. as was contem-
plated. owing to the serious illness of
Thomas Z. Spafford, a member of the
board. Commissioners McGregor and Nc
Gaughey said yesterday that they intend
ed to look into the bids of the Sentinel
Printing Company and Charles E. Haugh,
the only bidders on the printing contract
but nothing would be done until the return
of Mr.. Spafford.
1t has been rumored that the Sentinel
Printing Company, which bid over s1,7OO
less than Mr.. Haugh. had an inside track
and that Haugh. who is not in the printing
business. only made a 'phony" bid, in
order that there would be at least two bid
ders and also TO allow the Sentinel Print
ing Company to get the contract which it
has held for several years. Charles Haugh
told the commissioners yesterday that he
would not ask for an investigation of each
separate item. 1t is the intention of the
board, however. to make a thorough in
vestigation of the bids of both parties be-
fore awarding the contract

Are Setting Location Stakes

The Spokane & Kootenai survey
ors are now in Paradise valley To-
eating a permanent line through
that place. From what few facts
that could be learned from them
the work now in progress will be
the last until the contract for clear
ing the right of-way has been let.
This would indicate that the
promoters of the road had selected
the crossing of the Kootenai at the
mouth Of the Mcyie a few miles
east of Boomers Ferry.
The route established by the
surveyors to date commences on
the MOyie at the boundary line
between the U, S. and British COL
umbia, following that stream to its
junction with the Kootenai, cross
Ing the latter stream at consider
able elevation, thence southwest
along the base of the mountain to
the divide between the headwaters
of Cow creek and Brow MS creek,
down the latter stream to Naples.
From that place to Elmira the
work is not completed. When the
eight miles intervening between
these two places has been gone over
the bulk of the preliminary work
on the northern division under the
supervision of Surveyor Young
will be completed, a distance of
about 6S miles.
