Officers Before the Board.

One by one the different officers in
terested in the accounts mentioned in
the foregoing from the auditors re.
ports, came before the beard. Former
Treasurer E. J. Battles was the first
and said that he had no receipt from
Mr.. Witwen to show the amount of
money paid to him when the office
was turned over. He recalled that at
the time the three outstanding checks
were talked over, but he said that he
had failed to make an accounting on
the books as should have been done.
He recalled that everything was set
tied while in the Bank of Barapoo
with Mr.. Van Orden and that is all

County Judge

In the office of county judge the
books and records were found to be in
good shape, exceedingly we'll lndexed
and ready for reference. The experts
suggest that in view of certain con-
tract now existing between the county
board and the judge of the county that
the committee authorizing the pay
ment of certain claims, take up with
the district attorney the legality of
the bills presented by the judges, there
being no copy of this contract on
file in the office of the county clerk
and from the tenor OF the contract on
file with the county Judge it would ap-
pear that his amount stipulated as an
annual payment to the county judge is
in lieu of all claims against the county.
There was nothing to show the
amount of fees which were received of
a personal nature.
Trust funds are kept as a separate
bank account.
All other books of record are COM
plete.

Switch Crew Responsible.

At Whitson Junction the Mineral
Point and Northern road, short line
running from Highland to point
near Mineral Point crosses the
tracks of the Northwestern road. A
train crew of the Mineral Point and
Northern was engaged in switching
at the junction and backed a string
of ore cars over g Y track upon the
main line of the Northwestern. Dense
fog and curve made it impossible
for Engineer Paddock to see the
string of cars and the doubleheader
crashed into them with violent force.
The engines were tipped over on their
sides and smashed to pieces. It is a
miracle that Engineer Paddock and
Firemen Kelley and Felser escaped
death.
Mr.. Paddock was hurled through
the front window of the cab.
Engineer A. J. Gleason was taken
to Galena for burial. He is survived
by wife and five children.
Brakeman O'Connell was brought
to the hospital at Madison. His con :
dition is critical.
H. T. Kelley, fireman, has gone to
his home at Galena. He is somewhat
bruised.
Lineman Felser Of Livingston, was
bruised from head to foot. He has
gone home.

recommendations.
The experts recommended the fol-
lowing for the treasurer's office:

For the county clerk some minor rec

ords and files of the office for the past
two years to be in very good shape.

Figures.

The report goes back four years or to
the time of the fire. Some of the fig
ures in the report are as follows:
When former County Treasurer E..
J. Battles left the office there were
three outstanding checks amounting to
$234.7O, the payment of which was not
provided for when J. E. Witwen took
the office.
AS to the books of former County
Treasurer Witwen it was found that he
owed the county $342.25 OF this sum
$242.25 was an error made in 1906 and
500 was an error in addition. This
has all been paid to the county by Mr..
Witwen.
In the office of County Clerk Wood
there was found errors amounting to
$67.87 which has all been paid to the
county by the clerk.
According to the experts there was
due the county from former Sheriff w.
w. Stackh use of Baraboo the sum Of
DOAOsGOs 4 LIS w dS al OuO 40
nothing to show that the officer ever
collected the amount.
According to the accountants there
is due the county from former Sheriff
w. G. Hill of North Freedom the sum
of S587 13 all of which was fees. There
is nothing to show whether or not the
fees were ever collected. The sum-
mary of the amounts due the county is
as follows:
E. J. Battles. ....................S .S234.7O
J. E. Witwen, paid: :,..... 342.25

Sheriff

No books of record for 1905 and 1906
accessible. No way of knowing from
his office the amount of fees earned or
expenses.
To arrive at amout of fees earned
papers in clerk of courts office were
examined. In many cases the evil
dence of fees was lacking. The report
further says: "In connection with the
term of Sheriff Stackhouse the same
condition practically prevails, with
the exception that during the latter
part of his term, Mr.. Stackhouse kept
or attempted to keep, a set of books
in which he shows certain earnings
and against which he made deposits
with the county treasurer. In going
through the court papers we found ad-
ditional fees earned to the amount of
S212. 2.52 which were, not accounted for
on his books, the result showing an
over recapitulation of the sherift7s ac-
counts.n
The sheriff is held responsible for
fees collected by deputies.
There is recommended:
/. A sherift's docket, cash book and
daily memorandum book.

court and not to attorney.

The report calls the attention of the
board to a criminal case Dec. 5, 1905,
minute book F. Folio $50, VIM. Lepau,
State VS.. Henry Henning ct. al, in
which there was fine of $25.OO and
costs. The county treasurer shows a
receipt from the clerk of $25.00 but no
mention is made by the clerk of the
cost. The experts suggest that the
matter be taken up with the clerk then
in office, (U. G. Keller.)
They recommend a cash book for
this office in which to enter all moneys
received and paid out for whatever pur-
pose. This book must be footed and
balanced and show cash on hand and
in bank.
An annual report to agree with the
above book. The court records must
show amount of sheriff's fees, judg-
ments and costs, clerk IS fees, advance,
