OLD SHERIFF FEES DUG UP
Several Hundred Dollars Yearly Not
Paid In to County.
BRAHEY STARTS A FRECIDOT
Present sheriff Tarns In Fees that
McDenald mm Tower Failed
to Report to the
Conatr.
Fees s mounting to or tvn a year
have been earned by the sheriff s office
In isst years and not reported to the
county, according to information di'g vp
by Comptroller Solomon and his staff. The
fees wre those earned by Sheriffs Power
snd McDonald for serving writs for coun
ties outside of Kouglss, snd In the opinion
of the county comptroller they should have
been reported in the same manner a other
f. es eerned by the sheriffs office.
Since Sheriff Bralley took poefslon of
the office lie has been reporting these fees,
with the other esrnlngs of the oflce.ind
thi-y have amounted to about $10 a month.
In the checking up of the accounts oi me
former sheriffs It was found that none of
these fees has been Included In his reports.
Comptroller Solomon srnt Accountants John
Lewis ar.d John Helgren to Lincoln to
check over the records of the district
clerk's office there to find out the amount
of the fees paid to the two former sheriffs
In casca originating In that county. They
will probably be sent to some of the other
larger counties and an effort will be made
to determine as far as possible how much
of a revenue the former sheriffs enjoyed
from thla source. As writs might be sent
here from any county In the Vnlted States,
It will be impossible to determine the
anount exactly.
The checking of the office Is being done
preparatory to making a settlement with
Sheriff Power of his old claim for the sal
aries of his deputies during the '"South
Omaha strike.

row, and relative should wish to bury him
in Prospect Hill cemetery or any other

ceded him the bones 6f some Indian burled
there a century ago were found, the grave

amended."
This statement was made to the city

19 o'clock, when owners of lots In the cem
etery will be asked to be present and htar
what the president has to say.

ne Instant believe in grave desecration.
but a grave Is not a grave unless me
ground wherein a body has been Interred
has first been dedicated or consecrated as
a cemetery.
Judge Baldwin says he at all times told
Superintendent Dan Callahan to obey the
law, and refutes the statementa of the lat
ter, who waa recently convicted of grave

to make new graves where old ones had
been made long years sgo.
