VOTERS WANT 10 KNOW
Mf. TimmOHS, Please Explain

A number of inquiries having been received from voters who want to know about the action of MT. Timmons, Democratic candidate for District Attorney, in collecting S250 back salary claimed by him, we herewith give a full account of the transaction, as shown by the minutes of the Board of Super viSOrS:
 In the spring of 1901, Mrs. Burns, a resident of Yuma val ley, was shot and killed by Con- stable Alexander. When the Alexander murder case came to trial, District Attorney Timmons desired assistance in prosecuting it, so Attorney Eugene $. Ives was employed. His bill for this work was $500. The legislature of 1901 had raised the salary of District Attorney in the class of counties in which Yuma county was, from S1,000, the previous salary, to Sl, ,2a0. Accordingly, when Ives bill for $500 came be- fore the Board of Supervisors certain members complained to District Attorney Timmons that his office was costing the county in 1901, S750 more than It did in 1900. Timmons himself made the proposition to the Board to allow the increase in his salary ($250) to go toward paying the Ives bill, and the Board accepted, and the proposition agreed to. Pursuant to this agreement the bill for $500 was allowed and paid.
 Ia the official minute book of the Board of Supervisors at page 723, will be found the following entry:
 "Ofice of the Board of Super
 visors, April 4th, 1901.
 The following bills were aud tied and allowed.
 E. s. Ives, Assistant District Attorney, S500.00.
 It is mutually understood and agreed between the Board of Supervisors and the District At torney, that the increase of sal ary due and owing to District Attorney TimmOns for the year 1901 be deducted when due, 10 apply on bill of B. $. Ives, above"
 The warrant record for the year 1901 shows four salary war rants issued to Timmons at differ ent dates during that year for S250 each, making $1,00O, or the total amount due him. in light of the agreement in regard to the Ives Jill.
 Then, on Dec. 30, 1904, three years and eight months later, on the next to the last day the Dem ocrats were to have control of the Board of Supervisors, he presented his bill for back sala- ry, 1901, S25O, and the same was allowed and paid.
 In the minute record of the Board at pages 530 and 531, we find the following entry:
 "Office of the Board of Supervis-
 ors, Yuma, Ariz., Dec. 30, 1901.
 
 The following accounts were audited and allowed and war rants ordered drawn for same.
 918. W. F. Timmons, part salary, 1901, $25OO0.
 By referring to the files of Demands, the oath of Timmons will be found wherein he swears that this S250 ':for back salary 1901, is a just and true account against the county" and "that no part thereof has been paid, and, that I am not indebted in any manner to Yuma county"
 It is we'll enough to explain here that the Board, of course, was cenSurable in allowing the
