Small, but important details, we're

While there may be reasons TO believe

that 10 grains are missing, The lead
recovered consists Of four pieces.

BY DEPUTY SHERIFF BOOTH.

There was a lively scene in the office

According to the informa ton received,

which SILT Lake county was the gar

today the officer called at the county

for the payment OF Mr.. Mays jury
script. II IA claimed that the deputy
walked into tho treasurer's office ana
back az the counter ana
stated his business to Chief
Deputy Mccain. The officer was
Informed that there vas no warrant
there for Mr. May. whereupon Deputy
Sheriff Booth walked into the apart :
ment occupied by the chief deputy ana
started 10 take some OF the money
which was lying on the desk. Mr.. Me-
Cam attempted TO interfere and was
elected from the cage by the deputy
sheriff who then proceeded to help him
self to the sum OF s.sso which was due
May for his services IS \ juror, after
which he retired from tho office.
County Treasurer Carbis Is decidedly
lncensed at the conduct OF the officer.
He claims that Booth did not tell Mr..
Mccain the purpose OF his visit, but
that he deliberately walked into the Of
flee and took money which, the treas
urer claims, belongs 10 the county and
should not have been disturbed.
Deputy Sheriff Booth. however.
claims that he did explain to Mr. Nc
Cam what he wanted and upon the re-
fusal of the latter to pay him the
money, he walked In aid attached the
sum due to Mr.. May.
The warrant, II Is understood has
not yet been issued and will not be I'M

1t for granted that II had been issued.
and that the deputy treasurer was at
tempting to avoid service; hence his
high handed conduct IN helping him
self to the public funds. II Is be-
lieved the county treasurer will at once
institute proceedings for the return of
the money into the couny treasury
