Investigation Is Begun.

The state treasurer and the state au-
ditor then called the attention of the
state board Of examiners to the discrep-
ancy and careful investigation lasting
several days was begun. Governor Spry
and the other officers of the state made
a careful inquiry into all the details of
Mr.. ChTistiansen's administration and
/ into this transaction in particular. and
were forced to the conclusion that the
$4,000 had been stolen.
On being examined BY the state board
Mrs. Alice Mclaughlin. deputy in the
state treasurer's office recalled what at
the time had appeared to be something ir-
regular in the deposit Of Sl0,62S.9i. the
amount of inheritance tax paid on May
rs, 1905. by the Julia A Kimbali estate
On checking this item it was found that
the auditors books contained no record
of this payment, though a receipt
had been given the estate for the
count was probably due 70 neglect
in both the treasurers and auditor S
The investiga tion led TO a search for the
stubs of the receipt books from which
these receipts had been taken. The state
treasurer issues so many receipts during
his term of office that the number Of
stubs of receipt books becomes so great
that there is not room TO store them in
the treasuTer's office For this reason at
the conclusion of each state treasurer
term the receipt books used during the
four years are stored in vault IN the
office of the secretary Of state. On leaF-
ing the office Mr.. Christensen remarked
that he was going to take his receipt
book stubs to the office of the secretary
of state for storage. lie took them away

closed the fact that the receipt stubs had
never reached the office Of the secretary
of state.
Every link Of evidence secured thus far
