How a local tempest in a teapot
developed way back one summers
day in 1895 when F.. A. Mcmillan

cided to take a day off to go fish
ing is revealed in a correspondence
unearthed from old files by Stephen
Weber, present county treasurer.
1t was a pleasant day, evidently,
and probably the pike and catfish
were biting in the river. Anyway,
the treasurer locked his safe and
departed.
Exactly what happened then is
partly obScured by history. But the
state examiner arrived in Glasgow
the same day the treasurer left, to
make his annual audit Of the coun
ty books. He found the t%reasurer'S
office locked and on it a sign,

Later, when he made his report,
State Examiner D. D. Bogart made
it plain that he was unable to check
the treasurer's books because that
official was absent.
In checking commissioners min
utes, Mr. Weber discovered that
they went on record, pointing out
that, if they had known the treas
urer was leaving without giving his
keys or safe combination to his
deputy. they would not have
granted permission for his absence
Files do not reveal a copy, but
Treasurer Mcmillan later must have
written a warmly worded letter to
the state examiner. Mr.. Bogart re-
piled thus:
BY reference to Sec. 499 of the
state examiner act. political code,
you will note that it is my specific
duty to report to the board of
