Vi:ST CltRKTBtl. April - Almost
a riot has been started In the ivwrt
House here nniong officials over the U'c
of tho County funds, nnd chniges of all
kinds nro being made. So Molent did
tho feeling become yestAday that County
Controller Isaac Y. Ash. more than pe-
enly years of age, Invited members nf i
the Board of County Commissioners to ,
meet him In the nreaway ndj.icent In the
Court House and there settle matters bv
the old "rough-and-tumble" method His
invitation was declined. '
For some time theie has been complaint
on the part of tnxpn,yers that the mntiev
of the county was not being handled ac
cording to banking methods and that snl
nrles were being paid far In ndnine. This
wni denied by officials, but the books of
the Controller reveal tho facts, which
bear out tho charges of the complainants.
tl is shown by the books that County
Commissioner John 13. Baldwin was paid
his salary for every month until August,
amounting to $1000, but that he gave a
bond for tho samo. Tho Controller nnd
his clerk hnd also far overdrawn their
salaries, nnd tho matter camo to a head
when tho clerk asked tho Commissioners
for n further ndvanco and her warrant
was refused. Other county olllclnls havo
also overdrawn, it Is said, but the books
of the Controller fall to shlw this
County Commissioner Frank I'lston, n
Democrat, has gotten Into the muddle with
nnothcr question, claiming that olllclals
nro not entitled to pay to nnd from their
homes to fill their positions, but only when
on official business. He drew $1.25 In
this way, but, finding, ns ho claims. It was
Illegal, ban returned the money nnd holds
n receipt for the same. He Is going after
other otllclals who hao been traveling
at the expense of tho county to and from
homo when not on ofllclal business. The
mater hns created a big stir In Court
