= KNOX COUNTY LETTER. A Corrupt Ring of Office Holders Shown Up. A irisorer's Influence Ousts the Couunty Sheriff, Correspondence of The Bee, Nionkana, Neb,, Jaanary 4 edit Thej s of Tue Brr is aware that Knox oouity bas for years been run by a ring of corrupt (fliso b lera, haviog | its headguarters at Ni brara. Awmong ite prominent members may bs named ‘} Benjimin F. Chambers, U. 8. regin | ter; Vac Randa, couaty clerk; H. | Westers ex-treasurer; Poliey Bill Sauvdere, county commissioner, and last, but not least, J. O Santee, post- master. Around thess greater lights revolve a number of satelites. Santee i the boss of the ou'li:, and is sup ¥ to have the private ear of and hoid the position of county adjutant to “‘Oar Val,” all communications passing through his hands ina doubly aense of the word, 'L'he entire crowd ars luad 1 their protestations of pure love anc affection for “Val.” to whom they all pray for their daily bread Nor is this heppy family al- ways harmonious—each one foars drs. trusts a.d lies about the other by turne, and, when in thetr caps, cures Santee roundly, and, if ‘‘very full,” thump the worthy P, M., as Ben ‘Chambers did, the other day. The name of Val briugs them all to their marrow honea, and they dance to Johu's mueic, though sometimes with wry faces, 1a the fall of 1881 the people succeeded in defeating a por tlon of the ring candidates, Noeal Wal- ters being elected sheriff by a hand- some majority, and Charles Kadish defeating Westerman for treasurer. Every method, no matter how disre- reputable, was resorted to by the ring commissioners to prevent thess gen tlemen from qualifying, and thos defeat the wil of the paople, but without uavail. Krora that time both were marked men, every falschood and scandal that the malice of this vile outfit could invent was put iu circulation by word of mouth and by the county pipers, The Nows and Times, During last sum- mer by rome means peculiar to the ring, Tressurer Kadish was induced to desert his friends and shout for Val.,, but Sheriff Walters romsined with the “‘antis,” and refused to bow the knee to Val,, the devil or any of their chums, After having exhausted both threats and persuasions on Wal- ters, who flatly toid them he shonld staud by bis triends, the ring now ro- sorted to boider and darker mothods D.

As an inducement he was promised by Van Harden, one of the comici:wsioners, and it is thought also by Loeber, another of the board, the appointment of sheriff if Walters was removed. Cunning- ham at once became a rampent Val- entine man and proceeded to work up a job to oust Walters. During the absence of the sheriff in the unorgan- ized territory after horse thicves, Can- ningham wis left in charge of one Oscar Bloom, a prisoner charged with the larceny of §119, from the person of Robert Staub, This criminal was induced by threats and the promiso of being allowed to escape to charge Walters with having taken from him at the time of his arrect a large sum of money to permit him to go av large. Bloom also made atlidavit to the same effecr, and was by Canningham al- lowed to eecape. On his return home Sheriff Walters found the prisoner goue, and this charge standing against hin and re- ceived intimation from those in authority that he could either become a Valentine man and be whitewashed, reeign or staud a triai and be removed. Waliers indignantly told them to do their worst. John C. Santee, post- master, now appears on the stage as accuser, and signs the complaint, while ex Judge Sprague—who had been kicked cut of office W:a jyear be- fore by this ring a was willing to do dirty work to ®get back—ap- peared as prosecuting attorney. The commissioners held a trisl, or rather went through the form of one, which was characterized by the most shame- less disregard of both the law and rules of evidence, found Mr. Walters guilty, and on Dccomber 20th re moved him from tne oftice, The long A sixteen-ton block of granite for use at the Capitol b 2 in Sacramento was skipped from the Folsom Prison quar:y last week.
