The report in regard to the sheriff’s office is
most unsatisfactory. Why has he failed to pay
over the cash which he had on hand is not
easily explained. The unaudited claim against
the territory for $6,421.35, together with the
amounts counted as cash items; some of which
the committee regard as questionable for
$2,802, is not properly an offset. The report,
however, shows that the sheriff was not in a bad
way for cash, which should have turned over
months ago. His failure to collect certain li-
censes will need a good deal of explanation as
well as his charges for serving papers at a
distance which were really served in the court
house. It was for this, and also for his failure
to turn the moneys over to the territorial audi-
tor monthly that he was indicted. Upon these
particular cases we will refrain from comment
at the present.
