ex-supervisor. to P. H. McEvoy, chair
man of the board of supervisors. look
ing to the settlement Of the financial
delinquencies which exist between the
accounts of the former superintendent

Evoy is authority for the statement
that the Eikerenkotters wished for
more time in which to make good their
shortages, but he informed them that
everything must be settled in full by
the next session of the supervisors.
The Edwin Hart tangle, in which AL
Eikerenkotter was involved at the time
of the grand jury's investi cations, has
been further investigated by McEvoy,
who claims that the superintendent
is still short 5000 in the amount col
lected by him from the pension Office

Eikerenkottev denies that his brother
ever shipped to him a folding bed,
which came out of the county's funds.

the place of two iron beds missing out
of the dozen that should be at the
county farm. MeEvoy will demand a
thorough investigation of these trans
actions If the accounts are not settled.
