Schmidt, Agt., Occidental hotel, Co rvallis For the past three terms of dis trict court of this county there has been a small faction of men, urging and asking the grand jury to order an investigation of the books and records of the county officers. They succeeded in getting the grand jury of the last session to make the following somewhat ambiguous report relative to this matter: "We have visited and examined all the county offices, and from the short investigation given we found everything in good order, but inasmuch asseveral citizens and taxpayers have so requested, we would recommend that all the books of the county officers be examined by an expert accountant and report thereof made, the expense of the same to not cost more than $150 or $200." As far as an investigation of the books of the county officers are concerned we feel no further interest in the matter lliau any olhei ta&paci, and that is that the county be not put to needless expense. We do have these objections to offer, however, in all sincerity and hon esty : We do not believe that the sum mentioned above would come anyways near covering an honest and thorough going over of the kounty books by a competent and disinterested accountant, and we do not believe that there would be anything right or just in making a superficial examination of the books of the county. Our rrrpatpct r1-il linn Jo Vini. evei, is the manner' in which this . constable did not know just what matter has been worked up. It has style and make the doctor's shirt, been based wholly on hints and ' pants, socks and handkerchiefs innuendos. We have heard no were, and hence could not identify ! man make any direct charge that ! them ue came back home without any officer, or officers have been searching, and now threatens to unfaithful or dishonest in the dis-1 resign his office. If Mr. Young charge of their duties, or that the j ever wore the doctor's shirt and county has been wronged to the pants, they would be easily ideuti ex'ent of anything by these servants fied, as he is a man that weighs of the people. The demand for about 1 30, and the doctor weighs this investigation seems to come about twice that. "Dr." Larisch, a gentleman hold ing down a homestead near Eddy ville, returned to his cabin on his claim after an absence of some time recently, and made the pain ful discovery that during his absence some thief or thieves had entered his dwelling surreptitiously and carried of goods, wares, and chattels, belonging to the aforesaid Dr. Larisch, said goods and wares being more specifically enumerated as one shirt, one pair of pants, a sack of flour, four pounds of coffee, several knives and forks, several socks and several handkerchiefs. Dr. Larisch at once appeared before the district judge, the district at torney and the justice of peace and demanded that the just retribution of an outraged law return to him his goods, wares and merchandise, and punish the wrongful taker. So p.ipcrs were made out by Deputy District Attorney Carson and a search warrant issued from 'Squire Hall's court authorizing Constable Altree to search the premises of one E. D. Young, of Eddyville, a quiet and peaceable rancher that has heretofore borne a good name. Accordingly on Friday morning Constable Altree boarded the early train and duly arrived at Chitwood, where Dr. Larisch was to meet him and they would proceed to search the premises of the aforesaid Young. The doctor Jailed to keep his ap pointment, however, and as the one source,. parties who are agitating the mat ter seem to want to dodge behind the cover of a grand jury report. The fact of the matter is simply thin: It is not entirely necessary for a grand jury to father this mat ter, for, as the grand jury well saMd in its final leport, it had not time to give the offices a fair in- I Lincoln county, in common with more than half of the counties of I the state, cannot afford to nay salaries commensurate with the labor and responsibility of the clerk and sheriff.
