It turnu out that the bonda sold by Rurt county to Nellgh for -180,800 passed Imme diately Into tho school fund of the state of Nebraska for $84,000, although the whole purchase was plainly mado with money helonglng to the school fund, with the exception possibly of the $800 check drawn on Mr. Stuefer's bank. When the bonds were delivered to Stuofer as state treasurer, Interest coupons amounting to $4,000 wcro detached and re tained hy Nollgh as n. premium, making the Investment for tho school fund on the basis of 3i per cent. The' discovery of the fact that by this sharp practice, to call It by a mild name, either the school fund or tbe taxpayers of Burt county had been chiseled out ot $3,'J00 naturally excited considerable Indignation here. A committee, consisting of' Speaker W, O. Sears, ex-Treasurer John F Piper and ex-Senator John F. Nrablt, took It upon themselves to Investigate further by Inquiring into the records ot the stato board at Lincoln. Theso gentlemen mado a trip to Lincoln Tuesday of this week and have returned, more firmly convinced than ever that tho bond sale deal will not stand the light of day. Hon, John F. Nesblt tells of the work of the committee as fol lows Whnt In vestlentlon DUelnsed. "W, O. Sears of Tekamah, John F. Piper of Lyons and myself called upon Treasurer Stuefer Tuesday night, Nove-mber C, 1901, and talked over the Hurt county bond mat ter with him. We also wunt to his ofllce en the following morning for the same pur pose and Treasurer Stuefer showed us papers In the case. Ho denied that he had ver received pny letter from Franklin Everett, chairman of the Rurt County Roard of Supervisors, notifying him that the rouny would havo $R0,000 worth of funding bonds for sale, which letter Ev erett Informed us he bad written soon after t was decided to Usuc the bonds apd a considerable time prior to the sale of the bonds to Nellgh.
