ties, Lieut.. Ralph II. Drury, U. S. A,
and Private John Down were arraign-
ed in court today to stand trial for
the killing of William II. Crowley. In
September, 1904, Crowley was detect
ed in the act of stealing some copper
at the Allegheny arsenal. He was
pursued by the soldiers and was shot
and killed after he had got outside the
arsenal grounds. The civil authorities
claimed that the case came under their
jurisdiction and that the two accused
soldiers should be tried in the civil
courts. The war department, however,
denied the right of the civil authorities
to interfere in the matter The ques-
ton has been argued in the courts
here on several different occasions,
and the final result is that the conten-
ton of the civil authorities was up
held. Owing to the long delay in
bringing the case to trial, three i'm
portant witnesses are dead and sew
eral are missing.

Examining Claims.

The board of supervisors meets
month after month for the transaction
of county business, the main part of
which is the examination and allow
ance of claims. mass of bills are
presented monthly. The number will
easily average between 100 and 200
monthly. To carefully look over
such number, and determine the
one day. Once in while something
turns up which carries the idea to the
public that hills are critically ex-
amined, and the rights of the tax
payers sacredly guarded In this re-
spect. For instance, bill of So for
advertising was rejected in April, not
because the work was not done, but
because it had not been reordered by
the new tax collector when he assum-
ed the duties of his Office. 1t was
straining at gnat. But the incident
tended to create an Impression that
the board was ever watchful over
financial affairs, and would see to it
that the county got a square DEAL
Only the totals of the bills are pub.
lished. The public, therefore knows
nothing of the items comprising each
claim, and can form no idea of their
reasonableness or otherwise. When
the bills are paid, they are slowed
away in the vaults of the treasurer's
Office, and nothing more is heard or
seen of them unless some one requests
to examine any particular bill or
bills. The law is specific giving the
right to any taxpayer to examine a
claim. But this right is rarely ex
ercIsed.
We have this week tor the purpose
of solving this question for ourself
and the pubic generally, looked
over number of claims, passed dur
ing.the current year, up to and IN :
Guiding the bills of last month. We
are posted only in certain lines of
goods. Where the firm furnishing
the article is under contract with the
county at stipulated prices, the com
parison of the prices charged with
the contract is an easy matter. Where
the law requires certain supplies to
be let to the lowest bidder, and where
this law is ignored as In Amador,
while strictly adhered to other coun-
ties. it is also simple proposition to
compare the prices paid in Amadol
under the no-contract and law defy
ing policy, with the charges estab
lished under the contract system il
other counties. The stationery, print
ing and blank book supplies are SUP
posed to be regulated by competitive
bids annually, or by established rates
which practically mean the same
thing. But they are not so regulated
The printing rates, though the short
comIngs uf the schedule has been re
peatedly pointed out, has not beel
properly established for overs tel
years. The price of record book s
such as deeds, mortgages, assessment
roll and so forth, has never been sub
mitted to competition by publ
notice for at least like period.
The result of our superficial investi
a CATION was big surprise, dissipatin
our preconceived notions that thing
we're being infinitely scrutinized
The county is steady loser. .Th
data we have collected will be use
in the presentation of the severa
subjects in future issues of tn
Ledger, and we venture to say vii
, prove an eye-opener to our readers
, as we'll as to the writer.
