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.

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.
