at the sum Of the bond itself. SO the
school fund will get $4,000 there. But
as to the most OF the drainage districts
the county board never fixed the
amount Of the bond he should give,
hence he gave none. In fixing the
compensation of the engineer on the
drainage districts 1t seems that the
law was completely ignored. for res
olution was passed fixing rhe compen-
sation on n percentage basis instead OF
a per diem as specifically required by
the law.
1t is expected that as a result OF this
investigation there will be cleaning
up of things in Hardin county and the
county business will go to a straight
business basis

SUIT FOR $4,000 DAMAGES.
Dam Company Defendant in Actio
BROUGHT bv Packers.


Brought by Packers.
Fort Madison, Now .27.-What is
probably the most important civil suit
of the year in Iowa is now being tried
in the district court here before Judge
w. s. Hamilton and a jury. In it the
Wissmath Packing Company seek $685.
600 damages from the Mississippi River
Power Company for damages alleged to
have been sustained thru the raising of
the waters of the Mississippi by the
construction of the Cooper dam q short
distance below this city.
Innumerable suits have been brought
against the power company for similar
damages, ranging in amounts from a
few dollars for invaluable lowlands to
the Standard OIL suit in the Des Moines
federal court for $4,000, but this is the
first instance where a momentous case
has reached the hands OF a district
court jury and its outcome, in the es-
tablishing Of PRECEDENT, is awaited
with more than local interest.
The Wissmath Packing Company
owned and operated the packing plant
at this city. one of the largest second
airy plants in the middle west. Its prin-
cipal stockholders were Charles and
John Wissmath, formerly of ST. Louis,
now of Fort Dodge. Prior to the time
of the commencement of the trial a
st. Louis firm had foreclosed on the
property and now holds title rights, the
foreclosure coming after the years re-
deeming right to the company has ex-
pired. The Wissmaths claim interest
under their redemption right. which Is
being protested continuously thruout
the trial by the power company attor-
neys.
Indications point to long tedious
trial Charles Wissmath, president
Of the plaintiff company, occupied the
stand for more than two days. he being
the first witness. His examination was
frequently interrupted by objections
and counter objections, the opposing
attorneys manifesting their intent to
fight every detail.

ON COUNTY BOARD.
MIx-uP IN FINANCES DUE
TO FAILURE TO OBEY LAW
Assistant Attorney General Sampson
Says Loose Methods Adopted Almost
Surpass Belief-eeeame Violators of
Law by Following Ancient Pre-.
cedent.
Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines, Nov. 81. - Henry u.
Sampson, assistant attorney general
has returned from Hardin county
where he directed the investigation
into the county finances which resulted
in Indictment of the county engineer on
four counts and plans for II attack on
the board of supervisors provided tne
members do not choose to retire MI
Sampson states that the accusations
in regard to irregularities in the hand
ling of county finances have not been
oyerstated at all and that there has
been such looseness and carelessness
in the handling of the county business
as to be almost past belief. So far as
the members of the board are con
cerned it is stated that the trouble
seems to be more lack Of knowledge
of the proper way to transact business
than otherwise. Like many ether couh-
ty boards they had fallen into a way
of doing business which permitted
graft and leakages, and ny following
precedent has become actual vioiators
of the law.
VI Interest 10 SouHS'eS'
One of the features of the case
which may be Of interest in many
counties of the state relates to the
verification and itemizing of all bills
audited by the county. The entire trou-
BILE started by doing business in the
old fashioned, haphazard way, assum-
ing that everything was ell right but
not knowing anything about 1t. The
county engineer put in bills for labor
done, payable to himself, claiming to
have paid the workmen. In most cases
this was all right. But the bills he
presented were, in many cases, not
itemized to show when or where tho
work was done. or by whom, and many
of the bills were not sworn to. 1t
seems that the members Of the board
did not know that the Jaw Is very
specific on the subject and absolutely
forbids the auditing of a bill that is not
particularized and verified. Failure to
require this Is Of itself a crime.
With reference to the bond matters 1t
Is stated that the board Of supervisors
had fixed the bond of the engineer as
county engineer at 81 1000, but had per-
mitted him to act without giving the
bond. The law forbids this and fixes
the fine for failure to give the bond
