Provo. Utah, Aug. IS.-With the

Practically all of the water in these

If their claims shall be granted, the
homesteaders will have to make

As the lands subject to homestead
entry are valueless without irriga-

probably be given an opportunity to

matter at all and refers all question
ers to the commissioners. The latter
admit that the shortage exists. and
will reach fully one thousand dollars
and possibly more.
Mr. Shoblo gave up his position In
October and went to the Pacific coast,
locating In Los Angeles. Letters were
received from his only week or two
ago. but II Ia q matter Of some doubt
whether or not he can now be located,
Owing to the lateness Of the discovery,
It is a matter Of some question with
the commissioners whether they can
recover from the bond company which
was his surety.
The work OF Mr.. Shoblo. as reported
by the commissioners, was very clever,
indeed, and such as not likely to be
discovered excebt by expert examina'
ton Of the books. One Of the ways
In which the shortage was covered
up was by a Justification Of valua'
tions. The other was even simpler,
and seems to have been carried on
right under the nose OF his chief and
other clerks In the office without de-
lection. When he issued tax receipt,
In making a copy to be kept In the
office. he inserted in the copy press
a false slip, showing a less amount
received than that shown on the face
OF the receipt issued to the tax payer
The smaller amount was recorded on
the cash book, the false receipt placed
on file, and the taxpayer had his re-
ceipt in full. The difference disap
peared. The valuations having been
falsified, and the receipt on file tally
ing Herewith. there was no way OF
discovering the discrepancies, except
by accident or expert examination
Mr.. Shoblo was always held to be a
good accountant, and was never sus
pected.
No responsibility whatever attaches
to John Fox, the work having beer
done with such cleverness that the
most watchful public servant coult
not have detected it. Mr.. Fox Il
much distressed over the matter. bu
has been in all ways, and at all timel
so upright servant Of the people tha
