Investizating Cass County Officials. - Puatiswours, Nob, Oct. 4.—|Special to e Bre|—Considerable excitement and sur, rise vrovailod, espocially i political cir- cles, yesterday when an evening paper ap- peared on the streets announcing that Rogis- tor of Deeds W. i Pool was a defaulter by soveral hundrad dollars, Two years ago W. H. Pool, of the west end of the county, was elected rogister of deods on the republican ticket. IDs salary was fixed at $1,500 a year and he wasallowed one deputy ata salary of $i00, providod that the incoms of the oftice was suflicient to cover the oxpenso. During Mr. Pool's torm the ollice has more than paid expenses and all the extra money was duly turned over to the county treasurer, for which Mr. Pool now holds receipts. Recently goweone hinted to the connty commissioners hat Mr. Pool was short inhis accounts, and upon the suggestion Mr, K. C. Adams, an exvert accountant from the Midland Giar- antee nud Trust co ny, of Omaha, was engaged to checls up the books and discover the source of the trouble. The work, us complcted by Mr. Adams, shows thav up to July 1, 1880, thero 'was a balance of ~ #0330 due the county from Mr. Pool. When interviewed Ar. Pool made the following statoment: “1or all in- sirvnients filed in wy oflice a fee is charged, and this should be cash. My predecessors hud adopted a custow of charging the amount to tho individuals filing the instroments when they were not accompanicd by the eash and throngh this custom 1 have fallen a victim_ of suspicion. In about S0 per cont of the cases the fee is not paid at the time cf filing, ond why I am accused of bei a dofaulter is that only the money coliccted appears on the feo book, while I hold uncol- lected accounts for which Lam responsible against principally real estato dealers of this county and which covers the entire amonnt for whiich my accounts arc deficient. [think the investigation was started by political en- emies just on the eve of election to cause my defeat.” Sinco Mr. [ool's accounts were founu shory the county commissioners awoko from thoir years of siumbering and put Mr, Adams to work checking up the books of ¢ Tounty Clerk J. M. Robiuson, who retired froia office two years ago, and it is thought that the shortage in his case will amount to betweon $8300 and $1,000. This system seems to have been iguorantly but not fraudulently practiced sinco the county was organized, and at tho time of settioment with the com missioners all that wus required was that the amount of rash balauced the amount credited on the fee book. If. the investigation con- tinues it is feared that several ex-ofiicials ana rominent citizens wilj suffer the same em- ari2ssimont.

R Mason, clerk of the United States court, was the scene of & disastrous shooting uffray lust evening, in which William Likes was fatally wounded by a shot from a_44-calivre revolvor 1 the bands of il W, Clark, who also received a slight wound in tho shoulder from a shot fired by Mr. Likes. The affair is clouded in moro or less mystery, but from the facts ascertained it appears that while Clark, who is hostler for Mr. Mason, was sitting on the doorstep of the barn last even- ing ho becamo aware of the approach of his father-in-law, Mr. Likes, who was_ac- companied by his wife aud son. Clark noticed that the family seemed to be consid- erably agitated, and that Mrs. Likes carried a small revoiver inm her hand. Hot words _ followed the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Likes, and they abused Clark severely for working for Mr. Mason. 1t appears that Clark on_former occasions nad been told to break off his engagement with Mr. Mason or he_would rogret it, and sceing the excitement of Mr. and Mrs, Likes uvon this occasion he became frightencd and tried to escape by running through tho birn and jumping out of a_side door. Mr. Likes caught him as ho jumped out, and @ running fight ensued, in which Clark Shot Liles, who, having tuken possession of the revolver car! ried by Mrs. Likes, shot Clark. Clark was married _to 1 Likes about three weeks ago, He was in the employ of E. R. Mason for a number of years, and is highly estecmed by his employor voung maa of good habits and as a valuable borseman. It was while in Mr. Mason's cmploy that he became acquainted with his wife, who was_then a domcstic also in employ of Mr. Mason. It appears that Clari was discharged when he got married, but was shortly re-ongaged by Mr. Mason. Fhis seemed to prejudice Mr. and Mrs. Likes against Mr. Mason, and they thr o to ill Clark if he went to_work fc agam, but Clark heeded not the warning aud tho tragedy resulted. s a steady A Remurkuble Contest.

This morning it reversed the decision of Judge Dell Stuart, of the Monroe district court in the murder case of the state of lowa vs IRoyal Adams, and 1n the course of a read- able decision by Judge Rothrock readsa lecture to chavivari parties which will buve a wholesome effect. Adams was indicted for murder in the first degree for the accidental shooting of a person named Daring, a mem- ber of a charivari party, convicted of man- slaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for neven yoars and six wmonths, Prior to August, 1583, Adams was unmarried and re- sided with his aged father and mother unon a farm in Monroe county, He was a peaccable, orderly and law abiding citizen. A few days prior to_the 17th of the month he was married, and on the night of the day, about 9 o'clock, he arrived with his wife at his father's home, and shortly alterward the family retired, the youne couple going to an upstairs room, About half past 12 o'clock @ party of fifteen men and boys of the neigh- borhood quietly approached the house and went up 1o the south side of it, near to the window in the second story. They were armed with revolvers, shotguns and muskets, and some of thew carried bells, They opened a suddden tive from the revolvers, guns and muskets and rang the bells and shouted and halloed, Afterthe firicg, some of them went around to the south side of the house, where they knew the old peoplo slept and kept up a disturbance, 1t was s00n dis- covered that one of ~the party, Dar- ing, had recoived & gun shot wound. Ho was one of the actve partics and carried and discharged oue of the guns, Ho died from the effect of the wouud the next day. Members of the party testified that very soon after the first shot was fived by them a succession of from three (o five shots were fired from the window above. The testimony was conflicting as Lo the line of fire from the wiudow to whore Daring was shot, and 1t appears that one of Adam bullets struck « limb several feot above him, and was deflected and wounded Daring. “The instruction of the lower court, suys Judge Rothrock, *in effect dirocts the jury that such & demonstration made under tho window of a dwelling house in the middle of the night would not be a sufticieut provoca- tion to reduce the killing of one of the party to the erime of manslaughter. As applied to the facts of his case, We can Lol approve of the above instruction. Tho pa on the night when the took place s called & charivari. Tts sl’#nt is about as barbarous as the name.

Tho tendency was to confuse and mislead the jury as to one of the most important questions in the case, und to impross their minds that the conduct of the party engaed i the tumult should be lightly cousideted by them, Our usion is that the defendant should have a4 new trial, An Attempted Suicid Dres Moixes, Ta, Oct. 4.—(Spocial Tele- gram to Tur Bee.]—Byron D.
