From Mondays DAILY.
The county board held an executive
session this forenoon, at which the re-
port of County Attorney Wilson, Audi
tor Weaver and Treasurer Davis upon
the alleged irregularities of the late audi
tor, P. A. Gunders, was presented. It
comprised seven pages of typewriting,
and was gone over by the members of the
board. The board decided not to give out
the report for publication until after it
has taken final action upon it, which the
members thought might possibly be done
this afternoon, although Auditor Weaver
did not think that it would be given out
until after the next meeting.
While the officials will give out moth
ing in regard to the report, it is under
stood that it deals with the alleged eras-
ures of names on warrants and stubs,
which was fully explained several months
ago, when the matter first came up. The
report is said to make no recommends
tions as to what should be done in the
premises. The board wanted some fur
Their information as to the degree in
which other parties than Mr.. Gunders are
brought in, and for this reason referred
it back to the committee to make sup
plimentary report.
The board expected to devote this af-
ternoon's session to the matter, adjourn
ing late in the afternoon
The board acted favorably upon the
application of John Schweitzer of Ma.
pleton for the correction of his assess
ment on account of double valuation
and upon the application of F. F. Los
SOW for the correction of assessment OF
real estate because of there being NJ
building upon the land. The application
of Minnie Beaver for correction of tn,
assessment in 1908 was disapproved.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Warrant for Four Syrians Accused OF
Evil Intentions Toward Another.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Joseph Beshara has procured warrant
from the city attorneys office for the
arrest of Naiff Aldo, Charles Ferris,
John Abraham and j. A. Said, four Sy-
rians, whom he charges with having en-
tered into a conspiracy to have him ar
rested on the false charge of selling Ii
quor without license. The complaint
says that the parties did falsely COM
plain of Beshara that he was selling Ii
quor without license, and confederated
together and procured two pints of Ii
quor and secreted the same on the per-
son of Charles Ferris with the intent
to claim that the same was sold to Fer
ris by Beshara without the latter hav-
ing license to sell liquor. The con-
spiracy is alleged to have eliminated
June 9th. The circumstances were pub
lished at the time.
Said was before the court this morn
ing, and pleaded not guilty. His trial
was set for June 9th, and he was re-
leased on 500 bonds.
The other three men are out of the
city, Aldo being in ST. Paul on bust
ness and the other two working at other
places. They will be arrested as rapid
ly as possible.
The case has sufficient sensational
features to be interesting. Aldo and
Beshara are the rival merchants, one
having his store in Tinkcom's addition
and the other on North Front street.
The Syrians residing in the city are
mostly divided among the friends and
retainers of these two leaders. Lately,
assaults and lawsuits have been fire.
