COIIXTV HAS I.I 1ST M HCH j(l.UV.
rilhire of Sheriff to Culler! For on
Service lniirN.
Thoicounty In past years has 'lost consid
erable money by failtiro on the part of the
sheriff to collect fees for sorvlco of papers
nnd other duties which should have been
rah) by litigants and othors beforo such
service was performed. Tho present Hoard
of County Supervisors Is determined that no
such loss shall occur ngaln If they can pro
vent it. At tho session of the board yes
terday a resolution was passed directing the
sheriff to collect In advance all feea In nil
cases except whero tho law specifically pro
vides that papers must bo served without
reriulrlng payment In advance. The resolu
tion provides further that in case tho sheriff
falls to collect such fees as should be paid
In advanco all such uncollected fees will bo
tnxed up to him and deducted from his
salary.
Tho salnry of tho sheriff of Pottawatta
mie county is fixed by law at $2,500 per"
annum, contingent on the fees of tho oirico
being sufficient to pay It. This being the
enso tho board, In discussing the matter yes
terday, decided that It had a perfect right
to Insist that all fees should bo collected In
advance except whero the law provides other
wise and that to protect tho county's In
terests the sheriff should bo made llablo
for all such fees that ho failed bo to col
lect. It is claimed by tho supervisors that
this order will work no hardship on the
sheriff nnd will ten'd to prevent tho county
from tho losses that it has experienced In
tho past. Tho quarterly report of Sheriff
Cousins Just submitted to tho board shows
that tho fees taxed amounted to J1.233.2G and
that of this sum $S02.tu was collected. How
much of this difference could havo beon col
lected in advanco Is not shown by tho re
port. Tho committee on ofllcers' nccounts, con
sisting of Supervisors Matthows and Han
sen and Auditor Innes, reported that It had
checked over Sheriff Cousins' report and
found tho figures correct.
Tito potltlon of the proprietors of the Union
Driving park lor a remission of tho county
taxes for tho present year was referred to
tho county attorney. Tho city council has
remitted tho city taxes.
Tho board adjourned until April 18. when
it will convene for tho purpose of canvassing
tho county Baloon petition of consent.

SIOUX CITY, April 7. (Special Telegram )
E. P. Stone Is no longer under indictment
for nny ciinio committed In Woodbury
county nnd ho is nt liberty to go and come
as ho pleases without fear of arrest. Tho
three Indictments which wero found against
him In connection with tho falluro in 1890
of tho Sioux City Savings bank, of which ho
was cashier, have beon dismissed on motion
of tho state. This action Is taken largely
out of sympathy for tho wife nnd child of
Stono. Ever since Stono left In 1890 his
family has beon dependent upon others for
assistance and It Is said If given a chanco
Stono can securo employment and take care
of his wifo and child.
Many of the friends of Stono are of tho
opinion that tho Indictments never should
have been found, as whatever Illegal in
debtedness Stono owed tho bank, which was
$20,000, had been fully paid and satisfied by
tho officers of tho Institution. What ho still
owes the bank Is a legitimate debt like
many others still unpaid. Tho bank, It is
said, will pay out nearly 75 por cent.
