MORE PARTICULARS OF
White SHORTAGES OUT

Dickinson, Jan. 18.-Last Friday
the county commissioners investl-
gated a little further into the forged
and unauthorized county warrants
and discovered enough to round out
nearly SIC, 900 for the past two years.
1t is not definitely known yet how
many of the warrants figured in the
j"unauthorized" column were actual
!ly forged by Ex-Auditor j. S. White.
BY unauthorized warrants is
meant those warrants issued which
do not appear on the minutes as hav-
ing been allowed in the regular way
by the commissioners. Some OF
these warrants, however, were is
sued in payment of contract bills,
and were properly signed and can be
accounted for.
The greater part Of them, however
are certain to prove genuine forger-
les.
The fofgeries were started in 1904,
hence there is quite a period yet to
be covered.
From some things that have been
dropped it is believed that the state
examiner found between $4,000 and
$40 900 of the unauthorized class Of
warrants, but these examiners, it is
understood, did not attempt to show
what warrants were forged.
One of Whites big forgeries was
run onto for July q, 1908, when he
issued himself warrant for 1921
on the road and bridge fund. The
warrant was registered August 13
and was called in and paid by the
treasurer long time ago.
