The foggora discovered that they could approach very near to the door and other game without bolng - detected , because tlio load of sweat smelling hay on their heads overcame the fccunt ot their bodies , so that the game was not aware of the approach of a human being.

BEHIND IT. lurrott Scott'H ItondKinun Talk on tlio Mub- Jont of ttio O'Niilll Trouble. Last Sunday morning there appeared in I'ui ! BBB a special telegram from O'Neill , tfob. , announcing the disappearance of Bar rett Scott , county treasurer , nnd stating , substance , that ho was short in his ac counts to thu extent of about $ S.i,000 , includ- tig the amount on deposit in the dofunt Elolt County bank. It was also stated that there were less than 81HK ( ) in cash in the county vaults at the time Mr. Scott loft and ; hat Deputy Treasurer Clapp had $200 duo lim on salary account. At the Merchants hotel last night wcro three men who are on Mr. Scott's official uond Messrs , Sanford Parker of Spencer , J. II. Perry and Doll Akin of Atkinson. From what they say it seems that Mr. Scott is n victim of populist wrath , and that the gentlemen of the now party have been making it hot for him. A year airo last fall Mr. Scott , then occupy ing the oftlco of county treasurer , was ro- nominatcd and pitted against a man named Mellon , who was as strong with the popu lists as was Scott With tlio republicans , and beat the said populist by about 1-0 votes , Thereat , it seems , the populist element pro ceeded to hatch a plot to make It warm for Mr. Scott , and they havu done it. Tlio county is governed by a board of supervisors , numbering thirty odd , and a majority of those bolng populists , It lay right in their hands to stir Mr , Scott up , thu democratic members of thu board doing nothing , of course , to discourage this piece of enterprise on the part of the Isli- maolitcs , At the tlmo of the treasurer's annual accounting In Juuo , IbV. , the board not only held Mr. Scott down to the letter of the law , but made him show his cash , about $75,000 , In large volumes of real money , re fusing to accept any certificates of deposit or anything of that kind. Mr. Scott showed the coin and currency and his report was accepted , but about two weeks later , during which time ho might have paid out a con siderable sum on warrants or might hnvo Increased the county's cash by tax colloo- tions , they again demanded that Mr. Scott produce the county funds , This , however , the treasurer seemed to think was rubbing it in pretty thick nnd ho declined to make a showing , whereupon the board Impeached him , doulnred his oftlco vacant and elected It. J. Hayes in his stead , accepting on the latter's bond a representation of $10,000 , so Mr. Kcott's bondsmen say , while the latter's bond Is good for the required * 200,000 , Mr. Scott refused to glvo up his otyce , and the case wont into the supreme court , where it is now pending , with the chances , so the Scott men say , in favor of the treasurer. According to the statement of the three gentlemen interviewed last night , it is moro a political iiiovo on the part of the populists , nidod by the democrats and certain financial InlliU'iico , than anything else , the object being to break the backbone of the republican party in Holt county by downing Scott. Messrs. Akin , Parker and Perry declare their confidence in the missing treasurer , ana give assurance that his funds , excepting thoBO tied up in the Holt County bank , about $17,000 , are all right. They say they do not know where ho is , but state that ho is ati- sent on the advlco of his attorney , Mr. Dlxon , and that ho will bo back at the right timo. Asked if , in case Mr. Scott was vindi cated by the decision of the court , ho would not have good grounds for several damage suits , Mr. Perry said : "Certainly , certainly ; but there isn't a nopullstvjin that board , nor a populist's bondinmn , who isn't judgment proo/ clear through.

( Special Telegram to TUB BKB. ] Heports from the surrounding country are to tlio elfcct that dcsplto the early harvest tlio movement of grain to the markets will not commence as early as usual. The grain buyers have given It out that they will not buy the crop until It has gone through tlio sweating process. It has been customary for farmers to thresh their grain front the shock , nnd to commence to market It as soon after threshing it as pos sible. Grain men in the past have pur chased Iho grain without question. As a result they have had to hold great quanti ties of it in their elevators until it went through the sweating process before mar keting it to consumers. In this way they have kept largo sums of money tied up for long periods of tlmo. They claim that with the urcsent condition of the money markets they cannot afford to do this , and will insist on it that the farmers hold the grain through the sweating period.
