Lafayette Officials Found Short In Accounts.

Field examiners from the state board of accounts have completed an examination of the books of the Tippecanoe county officials for the year 1916, and an investigation of the records in the office of County Auditor Baxter and County Clerk Johnson reveals the fact that as a result of the examination nearly $1 200 has been refunded to the county treasure. It is said that some of the officials had overcharged for certain work and were compelled to refund the money.
