The look of anguish in the mother
cats eyes caused Hall to take pity on
the brute, and instead of killing the
trapped cat and the other two animals
with his rifle, Hall drove the mother
and other cub away and liberated the
animal held in his trap.
The mother cat followed Hall to
his cabin and brought her cubs with
her. Hall dressed the injured animals

CITY Commission
IN ADJOURNED SESSION FOR DIS
PENSING CITY PLUMS-
OTHER MATTERS.

The city commissioners last night
in the city hall in adjourned regular
session dispensed the city goodies.
Much consideration resulted in all
the old men in city places being re-
appointed for the regular city offices.
In one or two cases the what might
be termed extras were not named
William Rae was made auditor;
c. j. Porter, city attorney; j. w.
Walden, treasurer; II. Z. Kellogg,
city health officer; E. l.. Kingsley,

fire warden; Arbor Green and Peter
Nerdahl, night police officers; c. M.
Klotzbach, poundmaster; f. G..
Mitchell, street commissioner, and
E. G. Quarnstrom, superintendent OF
electricity.
The term of one of the members OF
the library board having expired,
Father T. A. Flynn was elected to
succeed himself for that place. The
matter of designating a city deposi,
tory for the city funds was left fol
future action, as was also the ap-
pointment of the medical member Of
the sanitation board. Probably rec.
concentrations for this office will bt
asked from the Civic and Child Vel
fare league, as this was inauguratet
| by that body.
The board for the administration
of the band business under the care
of the city was left for future ap
pointment, George Koch and Jas
Robertson being tentatively named
as two of the members. In the di
vision of the duties Of the member
of the city commission Joseph Hen
kin will take the responsibility 70,

the city afterward used for their owl

ter will be investigated. The matte

DEFICIT $4,000

$4,000; School District No. 8, $4,000; and
City of Blackfoot $1,000; Suspicion Points to

| to see if the affairs of the bank were
in proper condition, and wired for
State Bank Examiner G. H. HIT,
and Federal Reserve Bank Ex-
aminer Ben R. Wright of Salt Lake
fCity who made careful examination
and found everything as it should be.
Their report, issued on the twenty
seventh of June, was Immediately
transmitted to the depositors of the
bank with an explanation.
Bingham county still holds the
bond of the Fidelity & Casualty Co.
Of Baltimore, in which they are
bound unto the people of Bingham
county to make good any losses
arising from the failure of Treasurer
Wheeler and his assistants. They
were represented in this county by
C. V. Fisher who wrote the insurance
relating to his own work. When the
present officials were ready to
notify the bonding company of their
liability they passed it over Mr..
Fisher to the Boise office of the COM
pany in charge of Ensign and Ensign.
The course to be taken for re-
covering the money will be for Bing-
ham county to make demand or
bring suit against the bonding COM
pany for the missing money, and for
them to bring a criminal charge
against the transgressor if they so
desire, and they invaria bly, take such
action.
The state statute provides that
prosecution for felony excepting
murder, must be instigated within
three years from the time the crime
was committed, and defense may be
made by showing that the time limit
has expired. If the law is construed
to mean that three years must elapse
from the time 1T becomes known
then the crime is not yet outlawed
and action can be taken.
The county commissioners have
contracted to pay the firm of Byron
Defenbach & Sons the sum of $2150
for the job of auditing the accounts
for the past seven years since the
county was divided, and in this in
stance it looks as If their work would
be the means of recovering ten times
the cost Of their services, besides
giving to the county the advantage
of instituting a better system of
bookkeeping so that better checks
may be had at all times against
losses. Mr.. Defenbach says the sys-
tenn heretofore used for balancing
the accounts at the close of adminis-
tratiOns had no value in disclosing
errors or losses, and that this made
it possible for an officer to make
false entries and have them accepted
without anyone knowing whether
they were right or wrong, and each
succeeding administration followed
the antiquated system of it's pre-
decessors
Bingham county contains about
5000 homes, besides the dry farms
up in the hills, and this made an
average loss of about $3.50 for each
home outside Of Blackfoot, and $3.50
for each home within the Blackfoot
school district.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-07-02

The people of Bingham county
have lost twenty thousand dollars
and didn't know it. The money van.
ished more than three years ago and
the loss has just been revealed by
an official audit of the accounts.
The missing money was taken
from three different funds, the
county, the city of Blackfoot aid
school district number eight, the
Blackfoot district. The defalcation
occurred at the time Of the change of
administration in January 1915
when C. v. Fisher as deputy treas
urer acting for Brig Wheeler turned
the public moneys over to his sue
cessor in office, and the audit indi-
Gates that false entries were made so
that 100000 was turned over in
stead of the true total of $4,000.
The retiring officer filed certifi-
cate in regular form showing how
much money was turned over,
showed what funds it belonged to,
and made affidavit that it was cor
rect and true to the best OF his
knowledge. In order to fill out this
certificate he had to alter the &C
counts of the separate funds so they
would correspond, and such altera-
tiOns appear. The particular place
chosen for the transaction was one
where the record of moneys re-
ceived ran into large sums, one item
being a check. from the Oregon Short
Line for taxes amounting to nearly
$4,000. These pages as well as
some others before and after 1t, had
never been totaled and written out
in ink, but had been footed and
dimly written in pencil From the
items on this page were dropped the
sum of $4,000 of county money,
$4,000 Of school money belonging to
Independent district No, 8, in which
Biaclfoot is situated, and $1,000 be-
longing to the city of Blackfoot.
These were not separate, items ap-
pearing on that page, but those
amounts were dropped or segregated
from the larger sums. indicating that
they were adopted to make the round
sum Of $4,000.
This discrepancy was discovered
about a week ago by the firm Of
Byron Defenbach & Sons, of Sand
point, Idaho, who have been for
several weeks engaged in auditing
the county accounts When they had
checked thru and fixed the loss de-
finitely they summoned the county
commissioners and made it known
to them. They in turn notified the
bonding company who carried the
risk, and the matter made public
during the latter part of last week.
At the time of this discovery Mr..
Fisher was the cashier. of the Black
foot City Bank and he Immediately
resigned and retired to his home.
