Two School Districts Near
trusted to Superintendent and Institute Funds Gone!
Gus Newbury, one of B6ndsmei, Drew His Own !
Bond-Nee 1 of Experting Books Apparent. j
Investigation of tin accounts of the
county superintendent of schools office
at Jacksonville show that P. II. Daily,
who last January resigned as eounty
impcrintendout, wit a default or iu
school funds to the extent of nearly
$HlOO. Part of this shortage was dis
covered recently hy .1. Percy Wells,
JJaily's successor. Part of it lias been
known of by county officials for
months, but ca rvf ul ly concealed from
the public. It is reported that further
investigation will reveal more discrep
ancies. Daily left the country months
ago, and his exact whereabouts are not
kowFi.the answer to inquiries regard
ilj, him being that he is iu a sanitar
ium Homewhere in I ho north recovering
his health. Although several months
ITiivo passed, his bondsmen have, not
paid the county a cent, and no proceed
ings have been taken to prosecute
Daily.
Details of Shortage.
School district No. 7. near Trail, is
out $452, intrusted to Daily by John
Nelson, then clerk of the district, who
upon resigning to go east, turned the
money qii hand over to the eounty
school suerintcndciit.
Another school district, also adjoin
ing Trail, is short $450, the shortage
being reported recently by Superinten
dent Wells. A year or so ago Daily, ftH
agent of the Northwest Supply House,
contracted with the district for the
purchase of $450 worth of furniture and
supplies. The district paid the money
to Daily, but never received the materi
nls ordered.
Tn addition to these defalcations, it
is reported that all the money in the
institute fund which should have been
accounted for is missing. This is a
special fund formed from money paid
in by teachers for certificates, and is
used to pay expenses of teachers' insti
tutes. Mr. Wells reported that then
was no money in the fund, though dnr
ing Daily's incumbency ho should have
received $10. He kept no books, yet
he held his instilute, so the actual short
age is unknown, j
Newbury a Bondsman.
Daily's bondsmen nre Attorney fin
Nc wintry of Jacksonville and A. O.
Freel of Hold Hill. It is reported that
a demand was made on them for the
money due school district No. 7 by
the trustees. Mr. NYwhury refused
payment, stating that the county can
not recover from the bondsmen, as the
money belonging to the school district
should not have hoen turned over to
the superintendent, who was not the
j. roper person to take charge of it. Mr.
Newbury stated, though, tliat Mis.
Daily will eventually refund the slnni
age. It is believed, however, that the
bond is broad enough to protect t lie
Insert. Superintendent Weils state
that Mr. Newbury told him that Mrs.
Daily had paid Newbury $:isn to pay
back any amount that might be i Mi
llie county from the institute fund,
though the county has not received
any of it.
A peculiar feature about the bond is
that it was drawn by Mr. Newbury, one
of the bondsmen. lie is himself a can
didate for district attorney, and if
elected will be in the position of hav
ing to sue himself to recover mom
from himself which he don't want to
pay and won't pay, unlet compelled to.
Another singular thing is that the
. county court approved the bond which
was drawn hy one of tin bondsmen.
Another singular feature is t he ap
pointment of .1. Percy Wells as sue
fwor to Daily. Mr. Wells, in addition
to being county sujeriiitendent. is nl"
principal of the Jacksonville schools.
the appointment of whose teachers have
for many years been eontrolh-d by Mr.
NVwburv. the school clerk. Another
nntieenhlc irregularity about the bond
occording to the county clerk's certi
6ed copv, is that it was never signed
by Daily as principal.
Otheri Lost Through Dally.
How the various defalcation were
diuorered hai not been made known to
HAS SHORTAGE
fail Out Amounts En
the public. Neither has it been given1
out why the county court relieved Daily '
from his duties, and whether the action !
was prompted by tho court or by the
bondsmen. An interesting speculation
is as to what secret arrangement the)
county court had with Daily's bonds
men as to the payment of tho shortage
'and whether it was agreed that the j
bondsmen were not to be disturbed. j
The school districts were not the only!
ones which suffered losses through Mr. I
Daily. Various individuals were also
losers, and it is reported that Joe Mil -i
ler, an old Itutte creek settler, sold hisj
nliicn :ibniit idiOit moiitlia tnr.i fur A7MH I
lie gave the money to Daily to keep
for him. In small amounts Daily re-
turned less than $100.
Mr. Daily, in addition to being conn-'
ry superintendent, engaged in the real :
estate business under the firm name I
of liriggs & Daily. It is reported thai J
ho turned over all of his property to
some of the individuals to whom he was
indebted, but according to the best, in-
formation obtainable, the county court i
failed to take ndvnntago of any of'
these transactions to protect the offi ;
cial loser. f

Candidate for Coinmissoner is
out by Patterson to Make Ron
Ashland Chief of Police and Prosecution of Assailant Visit Dur
ing Trial of Prominent Ashland Capitalists at Jacksonville.
To the Kdilor: I wish to have the
right to say a few words to the public,
regarding t he candidacy of my neigh
bor. James S. Owens, for county com
uiissiotiei'. While t he proper place to
brill" out these matters would be in an
Ashland paper, would say that, the pub
lihers there are too timid to print the
iu format ion for fear t hat il would
shock some seusit ive subscriber.
While the pie of Jackson county
are considering the candidates for the
county court geographically, il appears
lo them, innocently, that Dig Sticky
is about the proper locality to place the
candidale, since the present county
judge is a resident of Ashland and the
present hold over county commissioner.
lr. Patterson, whose postoffice address
is Talent, resides near Ashland. Na
turally. Pig Sticky aud Jim Owens
look all right to the great big innocent
public who can see nothing but -the
si pi are deal iu the picture, .
"Nigger in the Woodpile."
llu! Jim Owens' neighbors know
where "the nigger in the w Ipile" is.
althuugh the public hi
innocent and
big political
blind.
Kvcrv body knows 1 he
boss of Southern Oregon
Danker Car
ter of Ashland. Mr. Carter and County
I in! go I tun n run an aux il in ry bank iu
Med ford. Our neighbor, .1 im hveiis,
was brought out as a candidale by the
resent county court, and all the neigh
bors saw County Commissioner Patl'-r
sou come over and see liiin. ami soon a f
ler t he news got out. The people of
vhland don't know that Mr. Owens is
a stockholder in tin- Carter bank at
Med ford.
The people remember the trial of
l hlef of Police Simons of Ashland, for
the killing of an innocent Swede whose
name 1 jnst now forget, people who
attended the trial will remember the
arrival of a large d.hgntioii of Ash
land capitalists when the I rial was
about half way through. The jury was
not locked up and 1 hose capitalists
mixed with the jury freely.
