Assessors Pay
Held Up
Commissioners Allege Shortage of
$13OO.---Paid 5000.

Monday advised Fred E. Wonna-
colt, county assessor, that he
would have to resort to the courts
to collect his salary of $3.50 for
three months, due the second day
in October, for the reason that the
commissioners intended to recover
in this manner a portion OF the
amount alleged to be due from
Wonnacott on his former tenure OF
Office in 1911 and 1912. Wonna-
colt was informed OF this proceed
ure when he asked why his war
rant had not been issued, says the
Press.
The commissioners claim that
Wonnacott owes the county ap-
proximately $1,000 from his term
as assessor and ex-officio tax col
lector. They claim that a little
ever $4,000 was misappropriated
and only little over 5000 paid
back.
Wonnacott, with two of his
deputies, w. w. Leeper and Ray
Thompson, were indicted on 27
counts by the grand jury which
was called this fall. The indict-
ments were quashed by Judge
Flynn on the grounds that the
statute of limitations had run. The
statute OF limitations was plead by
all three defendants.

The reader of the Rubaiyat for the

Just Fitzgerald followed i'll the
steps of Omar, so has Mr.. Tulley fol-
lowed in the steps of the translator.
Taking nothing from the exquisite
grace of the stanzas, the playwright
