The municipal court has issued an
order compelling Nelson Empey, ex-
treasurer of school board in the town
of Holton, to sign certain voucher re-
leasing loan of 81 800 from the state
to the town. An action was brought
against him during the winter to show
cause why he should not place his John
Hancock on the voucher. By action of
the town board early in 1906 loan
was solicited from the state to be used
in building new school house. When
the money was ready to be turned over
to the town, Empey, who was then
treasurer in one of the school districts
of that town, refused to sign the
necessary voucher releasing the money,
and claimed fraud had been practiced
in writing up the minutes of the meet
ing which authorized the loan. The
school house has beer built, but pay
ment has been deferred ever since,
