vOLLsTEDT CONTRACT CONCLUDED
Court sanctions Return of Money Al
ready In the Treasury.

ready Ina the Treasury,
Judge Thornell, in district court, yester-
day signed the final decree in the suit
brought by Attorney S. b. Wadsworth
against the Board of County Supervisors
to ave set aside the contract made with
Otto Vollstedt, an employee in the county
treasurer's office, for the collection of de-
linquent personal taxes. The cancellation
of the contract by the board is confirmed
and the return to the county treaury of
the compensation paid Vollstedt Is APP
proved. Wadsworth is given judgment for
the costs of the action.
The findings of the court in the judg-
ment, as entered yesterday morning, We're
that:
The action of the Board of Supervisors
In making the contract complained of In
plaintiffs petition and paying the money
under said contract to Otto Vollstedt was
ultra wires and void: that said amount so
paid to said Vollstedt has been refunded
to the treasury of Pottawattamie county;
that said contract has been Cancelled by
the said defendant board.
1t is therefore ordered and adjudged that
the payment of said sum into the county
be approved: that the cancellation OF said
and that the plaintiff have judgment
against the defendants for costs,
Through the efforts Of Mr.. Vollstedt
nearly $4,000 was covered into the county
treasury. and much of the money collected
by him was from persons who had left
Pottawattamie county and settled in other
parts of the country. The board. IN enter
ing into the contract with Mr.. Vollstedt,
had merely been following a custom which
had prevailed in this and other counties in
the state for years. The suit brought by
Attorney Wadsworth in no way reflected
on James w. Mitchell. the treasurer OF
Pottawattamie county, although Mr.. Wads-
worth attempted to make political capital
out Of IT when presiding over the demo-
cratic county convention.
