was man of many noble qualities.
He received his military education at

classmate Of Gen. Ulyssus S. Grant

fate of his men.

County Auditor and Board Of Super
visors cIashed Friday Over
Justices Fees Propo-
sition.
THE MEMBERS STAND PAT
Deputy County Attorney is Said to
Have Upheld the Boards At
titude on the
Question.

The county auditor and the board of
supervisors clashed Friday afternoon
over the question of collecting all fees
from the justices of the peace of the
county, according to reports which
Lave leaked out since the session.
Auditor A. P. Meyer is said to have
stood out against the board and Deputy
County Auditor Weber. The board is
standing pat on its decision however,
and the result is not determined yet.
When the state examiners went over
the books of all of the officers they
made recommendation as to certain
things which should be done In ex-
aiming the books of the justices 1t
was found that these officials had not
been turning over certain fees. 1t has
been the practise for the Justice TO
keep the marriage fees and those in
civil cases.
The examiners called the attention
OF the board to the fact that the JUS
tees were supposed to report ell fees
The board met with j. F. VAIL, of the
office of the auditor of state and went
over the recommendations and the
question thoroughly.
Su- servisor d. A. Young, suggested
and was backed up by the other two
members that 1t would work hardship
to go back over the term OF office of
the justices and ask for the marriage
and civil fees, and that he thought II
would be best for the board to simply
wipe off the slate ana start the prac.
tice in 1914, Mr.. Wahl saw the justice
in the idea, and said that whatever the
board decided, he would accept. This
was to be the boards policy in this
matter
Yesterday Justices Leindecker and
Burrows and the Fort Madison justices
met the board, and the idea was ex
planned to them. County Auditor Mey
er, according to the report from the
meeting declared that he would stant
for no arrangement of this sort. H,
said the justices would have to ac
count according to the provisions O
the statutes and called in Deputy Coun
ty Attorney Weber
The deputy attorney was inclined tt
believe that If the board members plal
had the o. K of Mr.. VAIL it would b,
the best plan to follow. The audito
departed and returned later witt
checks for the justices, which whel
opened, disclosed the fact that certain
