by him during his last year in office,
and not on account of the shortage
which mad previously arisen.
Clerk Five Years.
Powell was county clerk for about
five years. He was appointed to the
office by the county commissioners in
June, 1899, to fill the unexpired term
of E. C. Wheeler, whose death created
a vacancy.
Powell secured the republican nomi-
nation for county clerk in 1900 and
was elected. Two years later he was
again candidate and was reelected
for another two-year term. He went
out of office in July 1894 but was ap-
pointed chief deputy by mis- successor
in office H. c. Smith.
The fact that Powell was short in
his accounts became known to certain
of the then county officials, but ap-
pears to have been hushed up. No le-
gal proceedings were instituted against
him. J. c. Moreland. who was then
county judge, admits tina the knew
Powell had failed to pay over de-
linquent taxes which he had collected
as county clerk, but says that he sup
posed the shortage was subsequently
made good. The records indicate that
this was not the case.
in Powel1's accounts early in 1901,
soon after he was elected the first
time. An expert investigation by
Robert Fyfe resulted in a report that
Powell was short to the extent of
$1,5SS.5O. This report is still on file
in the county clerks office. Notwith-
standing this disclosure. Powell was
reelected county clerk the following
year. A still greater shortage arose
later
During the period that Powell was
county clerk the records of the Office
were kept with extreme carelessness,
and some important papers that should
be among the files are now missing.
Recent Investigations Of the county
records covering a part of Powelrs in
cumbency of the office of county clerk,
show that in a single year his shortage
amounted to $6,462.74, in addition to
the shortage shown by the Fyfe report
The records also show that when his
last term expired, on July 1, 1894, he
was still in debt to the county for
other collections, subsequent to and not
included in this shortage, to the
amount of at least $1,493.90. This
last named sum was repaid by him to
the county some months after he
ceased to be county clerk, but no evil
dence has yet been found that any part
of the prior shortages was ever made
good.
1t is believed here that these facts,
with others in possession of the pres
ident, may lead to Powelrs removal
from the Nome marshalship.

Steal SMALLPOX Patients Bedding.


BUTTE, Mont, March 8.-Thieves
last night looted the pesthouse Of all
its blankets and bedding formerly used
by smallpox patients and consterna-
tion reigns among the authorities for
fear of some unsuspecting purchaser
or pawnbroker, making possible
spread of the contagion, though the
blankets are supposed to have been
d;s;nfected after the discharge Of the
patients about week ago.
The robbery was a bold one, the
burglars driving a team to the doors
of the detention hospital and carrying
away the plumber In large-sizeo

Bishop Register.


c. E. Hovey, who came here lately to
look into the merits of the Bishop town
bonds, departed a few days ago without
submitting a bid. The tribe Of knock
ers worked IN him before he reached
here and filed him full of the notion
that this place owed practically its ex-
istence to the development of Tonopah
and G"ldfeld, and he SO reported to his
superinrs before he had time to look
around and size up the real truths IF
the case. Accordingly the C~hicagoans
whom he represented wired that they
preferred not to invest in a mushroom
mining camp" and Hovey took his de-
parture. Before going, he stated that
had he taken more time to learn the
facts before making his report the re-
suit would have been different. 1t APP
pears to be the especial business of some
non-residents to keep their hammers in
action against this valley and this town
and this instance is a showing OF the
harm they can sometimes do.
