The lionrd of County Supervisors recon vened In adjourned session yesterday morn ing to take up such business as had been lefl over from the former meeting. Spencer Smith and Thomas Uowmnn , em ployed by the board at Ita last meotlng tr check over the accounts of former Sherlfl Morgan for his second term , notified thi board that they had made a partial examina tion of the books and that so far only a few slight discrepancies had been discovered but nothing of a serious or startling char acter. These discrepancies , they said might bo cxplaliiL-d by a further examlnatlor of the books. Before proceeding any further with the work , Smith and Bowman said they de- Hired to know Just what the board re quired of them. They explained that thi buokn of the sheriff's olllcc and those of the clerk of the district court relating to the sheriff's olllco arc so arranged that a thor ough examination would be required In ordci to make a satisfactory report. The bean ! Instructed them to proceed with the worl as long as necessary In order to make a de tailed showing of the accounts of the office under Investigation. Some of the members of the board arc of the opinion that tbej tax up the cost of this investigation to Mor gan. During the afternoon the board took ur the bills presented by the ex-sheriff at the previous meeting and which had been lali over pending the examination of his books The bill of $264.50 for feeding the prisoners In the county Jail for the months of No vember and December last was allowed , bill the bill of $25.23 , being charges of 25 centi each for every mittimus and order to pro duce prisoners , was disallowed. The salarj of $300 which the sheriff received for carlnf for the county jail Is held by the board tc Include everything except feeding the pris oners. This bill was accordingly rejected On examining the back records Audltoi Inncs found that Morgan had , during hli two terms , collected these fecw from thi county , having Included them In his hill foi feeding prisoners , and the board will prob' ably take some steps to recover the amoun thus paid. The contract between thi county and former Sheriff Morgan Is von explicit on the point that the salary of $30 ( per annum shall be in full for all service ; in connection with the county jail excep for feeding prisoners , the allowance for thli being regulated by utatute. CcrtllliMttu for Prnnpr. The county auditor was Instructed to issui a certificate of election to John Fraser , Jr. as constable In Layton township. It ap > pearcd that owing to a mistake In calllnf off the figures of the canvass of the vote cas at the general election last November tin democratic candidate for constable in tha township , a man named Conroy , was do. clared elected and a certificate issued t ( him. Later the mistake was discovered and Kraser claimed the office , he having re ceived 170 votes to Conroy's 1C9. In call ing off the vote for Fraser it was glvou at 107 instead of 170. Supervisor Brandos reported that the low est hid he could secure for medical attend ance for the poor of Knox township wap $ SO from Dr. Solomon. The board con sidered this excessive as compared with the amounts paid in other townships and the matter of awarding .1 contract was left open Supervisor Brandes stated that the physi cians in his township had formed a trusl and not one of them woulcj go below Dr , Solomon's offer. The. request of F. M. Beyiner , editor and publisher of the Avoca Journal , that hit paper bo Included in the list of ofllclal orgaiiH of the board to print Its. proceeding. was turned down on the ground that hit application was made after the board hail selected its ofllclal papers. Beyiner has placed the matter In the hands of attorneys He claims that his paper has a larger cir culation than all of the papers In the countj except two , and that the law requires the board to award the publishing of Its pro ceedings to the three papers having the largest circulation in the county. The bal ance of the session was devoted to read matters and routine buslnefs.
