Dec. 25. (Spe cial.) As part, of the aftermath of tho recent political camplgn In this county It Is not Improbabl that the county com missioners will order an official Investi gation nnd accounting of all county of fices, Including their own. The cry of "graft" has been quite persistently raised In some quarters for some time past, and while ' there Is no general Im pression among the taxpayers that any of the present county officials are guilty, yet a gencial accounting may be con sidered wise and necessary In order to vindicate the official records of the men now holding offlca In Cedar county. The matter was taken under advise ment at the last meeting of the board, and Its actlor? at that time points o such an examination In the near future. Furlcy, who was defeated for re-election In November, Is being strongly urged by his friends to test the four-year term In this county, but he has not yet made public lils Intention In the matter.
