The Board of County Supervisor ! yesterday and put In the day consldcrl report submitted by Thomas Bowmn Spencer Smith showing the result ol examination of the books nnd accou former Sheriff Morgan during his last The first action of the board was tc the report to the committee of the and the supervisors thereupon went In L'cntivo session behind closed doors , remained In secret scstjlon until late iftcrnoon when the. board reconvene Lhe report wan referred to a special co tee consisting of Supervisors Hanson , thowa and Brandos. During the m session the board refused to make pub nature of the report , but at the close meeting of the commltteo of the wholf Ing part of which ex-Sheriff Morga' prcnont , the board reconsidered its ruination to keep the report secret. The report gives In detail the recelp expenses of the sheriff's ofllco for tt years 1898 and 1899 which comprise ! gan's second term. In opening the says : "Wo found the affairs of this ofllci In a day book In which the dally bu was supposed to be entered -by the performing the service ; a fee boo which these Items were posted by the deputy ; a cash book In which all Itt cash fees collected were entered dal execution book in which all sales c estate and the fees therein were enti "We also examined the records i clerk's office referred to In the clcrl port to us of the fees paid over by tl ace to the herlff. We also examlm sales book records In the clerk's showing sales of real estate under tlons and deeds issued thereon b ; sheriff. We examined the records i county treasurer and county auditor Ing the receipts and expenditures i sheriff's office. Wo examined the si books kept at Avoca and the vouch Deputy Long for money returned ti Council Bluffs office by him. " I x | > fIINON Of ( IlC OIllOO. The report then shows the expenses sheriff's oIHco for the two years , 18 ! ISfl'J , as follows : Salaries paid sheriff nnd his depu ties * 1 Salaries paid bailiffs Fees paid by county to sheriff in criminal cases Expense * paid by county to sheriff. In criminal cases Paid for boarding prisoners Paid for school fund foreclosures. . . Paid for supplies Paid for care of county jail Paid Insane foes Paid Insane expense Total Avoca J Fees paid Expenses paid Avoca Boarding prisoners at Avoca Expense Insane at Avoca Total J The total expenses , as shown by figures , for the last term of Sheriff gan , amounted to $30,998.85 , while t : port shows that the totnl fees collcc 1898 and 1899 at Council Bluffs and amounted only to $12,485.90. Thesi paid Sheriff Morgan nnd his dc amounted to $13,022.50 , or $536.CC mor the receipts of the office for the correi Ing period. The resolution of the fixing the- salaries of the sheriff nt ileputles , provided that the same only be paid providing the receipts office were sufllclent. Should the abide strictly by the letter of that i tlon Morgan will be called upon tote to the county $536.C6. The portion of the report coverir fees collected and the amounts ps Morgan to the county treasurer durini the first year of his last terra , show Morgan is Indebted to the county sum-of $837.55. The total fees collec Council Bluffs and Avoca for thai amounted to $6,766.79. accordlug to t port , while Morgan is credited wltr. . mcnto to the county treasurer , $3,1 salary for year , $2,500 ; mileage , $1 making a total of $5,929,24 , or a dlecn of $837.55. For 1899 the report shows Morgan Indebted to the county In the sum of 3 The fees collected In Council' Blufl Avoca amounted to $5,719.11 , while S Is credited with payments to county urer , $5,120.77. and mileage , $253.90 , Ing a total of $5,3SO.G7 , or n dUcrepa $338,44. Wltiit HiOIVON the Count ] Thus the report finds Morgan Indot the county In the sum of $1,175,99. at : sum mny bo Increased by the $53C. ( amount paid In salaries more than t ctlpts of the office were. If the wupei Insist In holding Morgan liable for tli tor amount the ex-sheriff will have over $1,712.U5 to square himsnlf. This ever , Morgan does not Intend to do v a piotcst , as ho claims that ho ha Into the county treasury every con was due from him. When asked jcatcrday what ho 1 bay about the finding of the account ! ) bald he could not BCO where they go figures from. Ho had had only hi : book to guide himself by and every c far as ho knuw had been entered While his accounts might have been In bourn Instances owing to clerical he could not for a moment see how poiselble that he owed the county an liUo $1,100. .Ho thought , there must b big mistakes somowbcro. Of coursi could be shown that he had really n this money ho supposed ho would h pay it , but if ho did It would bo out own pocket and not from funds th longed to the county. Ae to mnklr liable for the excess paid In snlarlc thu receipts of the office Morgan s believed the supervisors wcro as mud as ho was. They fixed the salaries basis secured from the earnings of th during his first term and It was the ! If they found the receipts were Insu to cut the salaries down and not allo- , to be paid by the auditor as they ilh receipts of the olllce during his secom Mr. Morgan explained , had fallen off cine-half , due to tbo small number of lions. Crltlulmn of tinItecordu , In concluding their report Bowint Smith have this to say : "Tbo presoi tern of keeping the sheriff's account ) the Investigation very laborious as til cf feed charged and collected had gleaned from so many different s There U no record book of sales of p property under execution and chattel gages and no record of conJemnal real estate for roads , right of way t other public uses except the papers 1 several cases. "Wo recommend thnl books bo furt the sheriff to keep a full record of sa personal property nnd condemnations , present record of sales of real estate executions Is very well adapted for the pose , but Is full In some of the letter n new one should be furnished , should be a day book In which uvory I action of the sheriff's office should bo entered. Including every Item of cxpcni cm red In nny manner , Including also received and paid out. There should fee book In which nil fees should be ricd. There should also he kept nn nc with the county where nil services ren for the county should be entered and c made for warrants drawn In pnymc bills rendered and paid. These books e all bo footed nnd balanced nt least qua to the end that your committee on of accounts can readily chosk up with sheriff each three months. " Mnro Willing IliiiiUrniitn.

No trace of It appears In rcRUlnr statements of the Treasury dcpi mrn or In the national bank returns , tn * i-'en apparently mvnllowrd up.

For the last years wo have placed this estimate Sl.&OO.OOO , this being based on the bill supplied to jewelers In bars by thein nnd assay offices nnd the private refit of the country.

Of course we must allow somotli for the holdings of private banks and 1 and trust companies and for some lo : through tourists carrying It out of country. But , even making allowances nil this , it would still leave a tremeud sum unaccounted for.
