derers to justice . No reputable citzen can
afford to countenance such a crime. Scott
hns n good many friends nnd tile men who !
fired 1 upon his Innocent wife and child will
receive no Rympathy . There was n good deal
of feeling because he only got five ycnr. . and
this was Intenslfed when he was rele3le1 ! on '

In the ca. lie says that he has no doubt
t that the band that attacked the carriage

that Scott would have n considerable amount
or money with him antI took advantage of
the feeling that prevailed against him In
certain quarters to conceal tho'r real de-

and that It would be believed hint Scott

the cloRe of his fIrst term , when he was
nlted to allow the commiesioiiers to see the ,

, of the general knowledge that Scot hall spent
a large IUm of money In his campaign for

was current inlk that county funds hind been
used for he t purpose. .

the county board to bid. Several of [ the
bankers : absented themselves In order to
avoid having to tEstify , but sufficient test-
mony was introduced to satisfy the commnis-
sloners of the existence of a conspIracy between .
twepn Scott and the bankers for the ( purpose
of defratitling ! the county , and hc was removed -
moved from ames on a complaint fed by
J. II. Hopkins , 1 taxpayer of the county .
The ouster cue wn taken tt the district
court , where It was reversed hy Judge Bar-
Iowan error Thence It went 10 the supreme
court.
1 was ascertained by the ( cmmlsslomrs In
June of that year , sonic time after the be-

the sureties on Scott's bond were transferring

approved by the board on lie ground hint (
' " " and added
lhey wne "strnw" mel , nothing
to the strength of lie bond . As n result of
the adding of these names to the bond It
was decided nt the trial of the ( civil suit
agaInst the bOldsmen last fall that the bond
was Invnldated alt that the county could
not rrcover.
Acting on the faluro of Scott to furnIsh a
8ntldnctory bent , the board again declared
the office vacant , and appointed H. J. hayes ,
n republican , to the place In June , 18n.
Scott refused to surrender , coil Hn'es began
mandamus proceedings to jl PosSe5Sifl of
the ofce , but the case went to the district
court , where I was hung UII for n year ,
awaiting \ the decision oC the supreme court
In the case started n few months before , all
It was not definitely need on untIl after
Scott had skipped to Mexico , when , Judge !
Marshall of the Fremont district was In-
vieII by Judge KIncaid to pai upon I , and
he declared ] Scott removed from ofce , prac-
tcnly confirming the \Ilultnry abdication
of lie defaulter.
SKPPED TO MEXICO.
Another mandalu8 case was started In
January , 189 , when Scott refused point
hlank to make his nnnual 8ettelent with
Ito hoard antI show the cash , and he was !
nrreste1 on n charge of embezzlement pro- I
erred In the county court , charging the
embezzlement of $82,000 , The mandamus
'Hit to force the settlement was refused by
JUIlgo llncall because of a defect tn the
petton of the plalntr. Scott wah'ell a
prelmlnor ) ' exnmlnaton In Uw county court
end was released on n $ 15O00 bond , which
tIme court dcclarcd forfeited when Scott
skipped ' to Mexico. .
A year ago last July the commissioners
made another dcman1 ! for the semlnnnunl
setement ( , and again they were refused. At
this ( lute Scott was collecting taxes , but
refused to pay out the money on wnrrants (
that were presented compelling the county
to pay interest on ( lie warrants while there .
was money In his possession wah which to :
pay them. Two more mandamus cases were :
started to force hIm to payout the loney ,
ali after several continuances the ( hearing
was ret for the Friday ! morning on which
ho skillped. Another continuance was taken
until the following Monday . July 31 , when
hIs attorneys saId he would ho back from
Sioux City but he failed to Ippear and the
writ wns Issued ns prayed [ or. Then came
the decision In the ouster case , Hayes being
given possessIon August 17.
When the Hol County bank failed on July
2 , 1892 , Scot claimed that there was about
UOOOO of the county funds tell UII there ,
but after stntementR were made by the bank i
ofcials ( he gradually modified ' ( lie state- i
mont to $20,000. The statements of the bank
examiner and receiver were to the erect that
the sum was but $14,000 , and of this amount
$1,000 Wits deposited by Scott to hIs private
account. I was undoubtedly county mouey ,
but the examIner took It , as the books
showed , and applied It to the satIsfaction oC
private accounts of the batik ! against Scott ,
usIng It to offset Scott's Indebtedness to the
bank on personal notes and other papers , so
that the ( . books of the concern showed but
$7,000 ot county funds ted up In the Inst-
tutloii.

On arriving : t Sioux City Scot looked up

to him $8,000 worth of tax certificates . receiving -
ceiving the money therefor. He Induced
Thompson to make the payment then on the
groull that he needed the ( money to make

Then Scot dlsappearei from public view
and started on his Ilght , to Mexico. The
story of his wanderings and his arrest with
the ' efforts made to prevent his extradition ,

covered by Sheriff Cnnningham of Santa
Fe , N. M. , and arrested In n hotel nt Juarez ,
just across the Mexican line. In telling the
story of the arrest Sheriff Cunningham said :

"I arrested him In the ( hotel nt Jaurez

'Your name 18 Cunningham. Wel , you have

"I went lefore the 'jefe politico antI fed

also jumped ' his bal , the ( police learned that
both men were notorious American erlm-
Inal , anti that the cutlass fight had its
origin ha dIspute over ( lie ' spoils of a rob-

louse referred to' above , seriously cutting his
head amid face. After the police enterel
the house another mnn. who said lievas
Arthur Cockburn was found lying In tIre
hallway bleeding from wounds similar to
those inflicted on Savilie. Lying near
Cocllur ] were two cuttasses. Tarbo and
\Voodwnrd , tiieoccupants , oC the house , were
placed under . arrest. They declared that
Savie and Cockbur had been wounded
tn a fight following a drinking bout , amid
that the cutlasses had been , used by fhel

were admited to bal , whereupon they dls-
appeared. Then the police discovered , aided
by the New York police . that their quondam
prIsoners were International criminals who
were badlY wanted. Time man Savie turned
out to be the younger son of one of the
wealthiest dukes , whom Tarboe and Woodward -

$300,000. Investigation showed that they hind
