What does he file on that day? Cer
tain statements purporting to be re
ports of tern collected for second and
third quarters of the year 1909! The
law requires reports to be made of
"fws collected or earned." Now
when was the report for the second
quarter due? Conceding that from
the flrst Tuesday In April, 1909, to
the flrst Tuesday ln July, 1909, is the
second quarter, it was Sheriff Quin
ton's duty under the law and under
his oath of office to have filed this
report and paid over the fees col
lected on July 6, 1909, and for the
third quarter, to have filed his re
port and paid over the "fees col
lected" on. the first Tuesday ln Oc
tober, 1909, or on October 5, 1909,
the Very day the commissioners or
dered him to file nil reports by Oc
tober 19, 1909. What do these re
ports show? Total fees collected for
the fecohd quarter ending July 6,
1909, $342.47 ! Total fees collected
for the third quarter ending October
5, 1909, $244.30! A total for the
six months of $586.77! And Sheriff
Quinton has not paid a dollar of this
money to the county treasurer, under
claim that he "don't have to" until
next year!
Let the taxpayers face the fact,
For each of these six months, Sheriff
Quinton has drawn from the general
fund of the county $145.83, his sal
ary as sheriff, and for the six months
$875, and yet holds back $586.77
which the law says he must pay to
the county treasurer! Pay when?
For the quarter ending July 6, 1909,
$342.47, payable on that day, and
$244.30, payable on October 5, 1909!
Sheriff Quinton has the use of all
this money money belonging to the
taxpayers of the county, while draw
ing his salary monthly ln cash out of
their general fund!
The legislature never Intended
such a construction of this law of
April 6, 1907, or the law would not
have required report and payment of
these fees four specific times In the
year.
Those who Insist upon this con
struction cf thl3 particular law con
found It with the law of January 1,
1878, when sheriffs were not paid a
salary cf the general fund of the
county, but out of the fco3 of the of
fice earned and collected during the
current year. Tlicn this officer turn
ed over to the county enly the excess
of fees over his salary, and this ex
cess, If any, was determined on set
tlement at the close of the current
year. The reports filed on the 19th
by Sheriff Quinton fall to comply
with the law in not showing any fees
earned and not collected, and the
Journal will have more to say about
It. It Is now up to the taxpayers of
Cass county to examine Sheriff Quin
ton's record and then say if he de
serves a third term.

From Saturday's Pally.
So far as can be learned today
there has been no new developments!
ln the Manley bank burglary, and the
Indications seem good for the escape
of the culprits. Sheriff Quinton is
somewhere out in the county, having
been at Elmwood last Thursday night
and whether he Is on the trail of the
criminals or soliciting votes cannot
be told, but there Is hardly any rea
son to suppose that he would be like
ly to find the burglars at Elmwood,
or In tnat vicinity. M. E. Manspeaker,
who has been acting in the capacity
of a deputy for Sheriff Quinton,
stated this morning that he had had
word from him today, but that no
clue to the perpetrators of the out
rage had been unearthed, and he did
not know what plans were on tap for
their apprehension.
A telephone message from Manley
states that Sheriff Quinton was there
the day following the burglary and
made an examination of the premises.
No developments being apparent he
had departed, and as far aa can be
learned, no further action has been
taken'ln the matter. Other officers,
presumably detectives, are on the
ground and It would appear they
have struck the trail, as they are
said to be very confident of soon
landing the perpetrators. A reward
of $1,500 has been offered for the
capture and conviction of the men,
and this is expected to have a stim
ulating effect on the officers engaged
ln the hunt.
Officers ln the surrounding cities
are inclined to believe the burglary
was the work of aninteur cracksmen
from the vicinity of the bank, or that
the men guilty of the Sbubert bank
burglary a few nights before were
also guilty of this offense. James
Malone, the head of the Lincoln
force, and the Turlington's chief
detective, Inclines to this belief, and
states that the men were evidently
