OFFICERS CHECKED UP.

Report of Expert Accountants at Cedar
Rapids Discloses Few Irregularities.
Special to Times-Republican.
Cedar Rapids, April 29.-The expert
accountants employed by the board Of
supervisors to examine the accounts of
the various county officers completed
their report this week, and the same
was filed today. The experts began
their work four months ago.. 1t is the
first com plete and exhaustive report in
years. The accountants examined the
books in six county offices and also
passed upon the work of the Justices Of
the peace. No startling disclosures are
made, but a number of small irreg-
ularities were found, and it is probable
that a number Of changes will be made
in methods, as a result. The account
ants found that some fees which they
say rightfully belong to the county
have not been turned in. These
amounts are not large. A few errors in
bookkeeping were found.
Among the complaints Is one that
trust funds have not been turned over
to the county treasurer in some in
stances, and the interest thereon has
not been paid to the county. The re-
port indicates that marriage fees, where
me ceremo ny is performed by Justice
of the peace. are due the county. The
county clerk, the sheriff and the jus
| tees CT the peace are mildly criticised.

wood Park, favorite runway for auto
drivers. The boy was playing in the
street and either did not see the car
bearing down upon him or became con-
fused and stepped in front of it He
was thrown under the machine. Hugo
stopped his car at once, picked the little
fellow up and hurried with him to st.
Luke's hospital, but death ensued al
most before the victim could be placed
of the operating table.
The occupants of the automobile de-
clare the machine was not travelling at
a great rate Of speed. The boulevard
is, however, fine stretch of roadway,
and is favorite place for drivers to let
out their cars. Hugo is considered a
careful driver.
The coroner will probably hold an in
quest to determine if possible where
the blame, if any, rests.

Sioux City, April 29.-An accidental
shooting in a camp of Italians en-
ployed by the Great Northern railroad

hospital where it is said his condition
is critical.

ploded and Leone fell to the floor. In
the excitement that followed the man
who had the gun and whose name has
not been learned, hurriedly left the
camp and has not been seen since.
