Another OnciaI DofauIter-A Comfy
Treasurer Rcbs the County Of $4,000.
The Heney County (Ill.) Chroaiels Of late
date observes:
We pufposely omitted last week saying
any thing Of the reported detaulostion Of
the late County Treasurer, Julius A. Pratt,
as we were hopeful the report was ground
: less. But he IS actually a defaulter to the
county, we believe, to the amount of $l7, 900.
Mr.. Pratt probably never intended to
wrong the county, or peril his own integ-
rity, but he has done both, or else Madame
Rumor is greatly at fault. The story is told
in few words. Mr.. Pratt and his brother
were in the grain business the money de-
posted in the bank from whatever source
obtained, was placed to their credit, as we
understand, and drawn upon as their puT--
chases demanded. They bought largely,
drew freely; the price of grain came down,
and they suffered loss they have not since
been able to make good.
The County Treasury and the School
Fund have not suffered to the amount of o
cent, if reports are true. Mr.. Pratt finding
himself unable to meet his liabilities as he
had hoped TO do by this time, declined to
hold the responsible post in which be was
placed, and sent in bis resignation. His
entire property, we have been told, will be,
or has been, placed at the disposal of those
who may suffer by his operations.
Here is the old story, public money used
to carry on private enterprise. When will
men learn to avoid the vortex into which 90
many have been swept We are not in pos
session of official statements, but believe the
foregoing substantially correct. MI. Thos.
Movers, of Atkinson, has been appointed
Treasurer pro tenn.
