Pulaski Trustee Charged With Feathering His Nest.

Action to recover nearly $4,000 alleged to have been obtained illegally from the state by George Stipp, former trustee of Monroe township, of Pulaski county, will be taken through the attorney general’s office as a result of reports of investigations made by the state board of accounts, which were certified by Gov. Ralston. Stipp is accused of having obtained $170.50 in excess salary and with embezzling $3,825.38 in false charges for the construction of school buildings. One item netted $585 in substituting hollow tile for brick, as called for in the specifications, according to the report of the examiners for the board.
