the books of the state treasurer. The
last of the above warrants, No. 1910, for
$3,10S.75, dated October 7, 1896, being
; paid on February 5, 1899.
From October z, 1896, to the present
| date all the warrants have been re-
ceived, and some have been called in
and paid for, but the full interest has
not been accounted for on the books of
the state treasurer, and I beg to refer
you to the accompanying statement,
which will give an explanation in de-
tail. The summary of facts, however,
are as follows:
Items Nos. 1 to inclusive were
paid by the treasurer of Oklahoma after
the usual call.
Items Nos. to 20 inclusive were sold
to the Merchants National bank of To-
peka.
Items Nos. 81 to 25 inclusive were sold
to the Merchants National bank of To-
peka.
Items Nos. 20 to 81 inclusive were
sold to the Guthrie National bank of
Guthrie.
Items Nos. 50 to "a inclusive were
sold to G. w. Mcknight.
Items Nos. 30 to "a inclusive were
sold to Guthrie National bank, Guthrie.
(By c. R. Richey's information.)
Items Nos. 81 to 63 inclusive were
sold, but c. r. Ri.hey could not in
form me of name of purchaser.
Items Nos. 1 to z inclusive:
The treasurer at Guthrie. Ok.
paid for interest on the warrants then
surrendered, $4,05416, but only $2,2S4. .0S
is accounted for on the books of the
state treasurer.
Items Nos to 20 inclusive:
The treasurer at Guthrie. Ok, paid
for interest on the warrants then sur
rendered, S9,359.55, but only S3,372.5 So is
accounted for on the books of the state
treasurer.
Items Nos. q to "a inclusive:
1.-The treasurer at Guthrie, Ok. paid
for interest on the warrants then sur
rendered, $2,509.S7 but only $1,13S.05 is
tod -,
treasurer.
Item No. 26:
THE treasurer at Guthrie, Oh, paid
for interest on this warrant then sur
rendered, $1,2S1.90, but only $S0924 is
accounted for on the books of the state
treasurer.
Item No. %:
THE treasurer at Guthrie, Ok, paid
for interest on this warrant then sur
rendered, $451.60, but only $15S.50 is ac-
counted for on the books of the state
treasurer.
1.-The foregoing payments of interest
by the treasurer at Guthrie, Okla, rep
resent only the warrants that have
been called in up to date and paid by
him. The rest have not been paid,
though some have been called. Thus
we have $17,657.0S interest paid by
the treasurer of Oklahoma and only
$7,762.39 accounted for on the books
of the state treasurer, which claim
the state is entitled to, as the state
treasurer is not authorized to sell
bonds, warrants or other assets in his
possession. He can only send checks,
drafts, etc, for collection. But this
being a matter for the states legal de-
partment for decision. simply give
statement what is due the state if the
warrants had not been sold.
1.-The remainder of the warrants
have been sold I'm like manner. but the
full interest cannot be given for some
time. I. however, make an estimate
that the life of a warrant is about 4
