Probably A Clerical Error
On Monday last a warrant was sworn out
by members of the grand jury for the search-
ing of the residence of F. P. Whitehill, a former
deputy county clerk. Sheriff Lockhart and
deputies Muse and Rodriguez served the war-
rant, and in Mr. Whitehill’s room found a con-
siderable amount of stuff which had been taken
from the court house. Among other things was
eleven dozen lead pencils, seals, a large assort-
ment of blanks, typewriting paper, cover paper,
rubber bands, five or six bottles of writing
fluid, a book showing the collection of county
licenses, a book containing the account of the
Grant county school fund, and a miscellaneous
assortment of other plunder. All but the ink
was brought to the sheriff’s office, being about
as much of a load as the three officers could
carry conveniently. An officer returned for the
ink, but lo and behold! it had suddenly disap-
peared, and has not since been seen by the
officers. Mr. Whitehill was subpoenaed before
the grand jury immediately, where he doubtless
explained how the plunder came into his pos-
session.
