CHECKING
OUT SHERIFF

Francis J. Reinhard of Indianapolis.
and Orville C. Jarvis of Crawfordsville, e,
field inspectors. travelling out of the
state accountants office, arrived in
Hammond this morning. to make re-
port on the sherin's office for the year
1912. These Inspections are made
where ever there is a change in the
incumbency of the office and in this
case it is really checking out of ex
sheriff Thomas Grant. The reports are
made not so much with the idea of
looking for discrepancies or erors, but
rather to show the amount. of the bust
ness. that an office has done within a
given time.
The two field men worked in the
main office at Crown Point for about
a week and having finished there came
to Hammond. They expect TO have a
weeks job or more of IL up here. In
as much as the sheriff's office report Is
taken from the records of the county
clerk the latters office is incidentally
also being backed up.
Mr. Reinhard undoubtedly will find
old acquaintances among the Hammond
Masonic fraternity. as he is a member
of the famous indianapolis Rapier
Commandary which recently won the
first drill prize at Denver and three
years ago Chicago.
