Wei ton, for 37 years county clerk. J. C. Grabbe of Daveniort, the expert accountant engaged in making an in vestigation of the accounts of the de ceased clerk, is said to hav given the opinion that the discrepancies amount ed to "more than $1.1,ooo," and his basis of estimate was only the fees collected from the county by Mr. Wei ton. The investigation was commenc ed Sept. 5, and three days later Mr. Wclton died, the cause of death being givin by the family physician as pneu monia. It is now believed that the In vestigation was responsibly for Mr. Welton's death. lolitlc.- lu (ilr. Owing to the prominence of Mr. Wei ion, politically, the sentiment is divid ed along political lines as to the in vestigation and the possible charges of graft. A. II. Linn and Frank H. Stretd are the leaders of the invest igating committee, which is composed for the most part of men who opposed Mr. Wei ton politically. Mr. St reed is a brotlier of John Sstreed, the lawyi whose mysterious death caused such a sensation a year ago. Mr. St reed relatives asserted that he had been murdered, and ill feeling was caused by the statement of some that he luu suicided. Mr. Welton was among tin. latter, and the enmity between bin and Hank Ktrced is well known, it is said that aside from the committee of 15. all of the itolitical leaders in the coui.ty assert Welton's innocence.
