which put them outside the pale for
school fund purchase. Dunn offered a
statement, alleged TO come from the
CITY clerk of Dodge, that the new as
increase and make the bonds valid.
The auditor refused 10 accept this but
insisted upon waiting to hear from the
county clerk on the actual assessed
valuation.
Dunn. thereupon. hustled out to Ford
county, and got sworn statement
from the county clerk concerning the
assessed valuation of Dodge City He
presented it to the auditor and it
showed the assessed valuation to be
.S3S4.126, which was sufficient to make
the bonds a valid purchase. Dunn
stuck this affidavit back in his pocket
after showing it to the auditor. There
happened to be q delay of a day or
two in registering the Dodge City
bonds and meantime the official re-
turns of the Dodge City assessn ent
came in showing that instead of being
SsS4126 the valuation was S34S,126.
Somewhere between Dodge City and
TOpeka the and the in Mr.. Dunn s
AFFIDAVIT had become transpOsed.
Somebody had evidently desired the
Dodge valuation to appear 100000
greater than it really was. The coun-
tv clerk at Dodge city denied that he
had made any mistake. 1t was up to
Dunn. and Dunn did not try to explain.
He failed to answer all letters. The
$4,000 deal fell through.
Meantime it had become known that
the same issue of $4,000 in Dodge
City bonds had been hawked about
the market at 5 cents on the dollar
without finding a buyer.
This is the Mr.. Dunn who is trying
to help Treasurer Kelly out of his
scrape.
f. w. Cassner's Record.
F. w. Cassner is the other man who
rushes to Mr.. Kelly's defense. Cass-
ner has been working in the bond
market for a number of years. One
time during Governor Bailey's admin
istration he came to Topeka with $40
600 worth of Stevens county bonds
which he desired to unload upon the
state school fund. Stevens county
bonds are a very doubtful proposition
at best.
Mr.. Cassner put in considerable
auditors office. When the auditors
records were consulted later it was
found that Stevens cOunty's valuation
was ample to admit of the purchase
of the bonds The deal was made, and
$4,000 in bonds, a first installment
on the $4,000, went into the state
strong box. Shortly after it was dis
of Stevens county had been fraudu-
lently raised just S1.000.000 The
original entry was, for example. $780,
600, somebody had put a / in front
of the $500. 600. making it S1900.00O.
Governor Bailey had Attorney Cen
eral Coleman inform Mr. Cassner that
unles the $4,000 should be returned
back, there might be occasion to send
somebody to the penitentiary CasS-
ner returned the money promptly, and
the affair was dropped.

SCOTTY AND BUNCH FREE

Jurisdiction

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, April 27.-Wal-
ter Scott and his gang are now free.
The whole bunch, including Walter
Scott "BilP' Scott, CHIP Keyes and
A. Y. Pearl, were dismissed this morn
ing by Judge Bledsoe of the superior
court, before whom yesterday the de-
murrer to the complaint was argued
Judge Bledsoe held that as it was
admitted the crime was committed
about fifteen miles over the line in
Inyo county, that the men could not
be held to answer in the courts of this
county, unless it could be clearly
shown that the conspiracy under
which the crime was carried out was
laid in this county. AS this allegation
had not been included in the COM
plaint the cases were dismissed.
The attorneys in the case, to further
test the matter, made motion that a
complain against "Bill" Keyes be filed
in the superior court, but that, too, was
refused by Judge Bledsoe. That ends
the cases. so far as the officers of this
county are concerned.
Whether the Inyo county authorities
will take up the cases has not yet
been determined, so far as the officers
here know. 1t is known that the Off
GERS of that county have been consid-
ering the question, but no word has
been received here as to what action
they will take.
In the absence of any word from
Inyo county, "Bilp' Keyes and "Bill"
Scott were at once released from the
county Jail, after Judge Bledsoe rem
dered his decision, and are both at
liberty. Walter Scott will not be COM

in the city lookup with a cut on his
head and a serious charge hanging over
him. Cortello had been working for
the dairy firm of the Dohertys at

He secured a revolver and returned to
even up the score. One of the Dohertys
defended himself so vigorously that he
is said to have nearly killed the man
with the gun, striking him over the
head with club and telling him to
the floor. Others of the dairy employees
promptly relieved Cortello of his gun
and held him until Constable Austin
arrived on the scene. The case will
be up before Justice Klamroth tomor-

sufficiently recovered to put in an ap-
