His Sureties Pay the County Nearly
&?5,00O-The Other Bonds.


The county commissioners and the county
treasury yesterday received from the bondsmen
OF the late George ID. Hill, ex-county treasurer
the sum of s2i.7sl70 in the shape OF FIVE certin-
Gates OF deposit for si,94S.Si each. The certif-
Gates were from the Guarantee Loan and Trust
Company, aud were Endorsed by Henry L. Yes.
ler James Mcknight, IiIllory Butter Su.cli II
Baxter and David Kellogg Messrs. j. C. Haines,
William II. White, Hillory Butler, J. ID. Low
man and ;. Ii. Piles, representing the bonds
men, and the board OF county commissioners
were present at the time that the payment was
made.
This finally settles the suit that was brought
by King county over four years ago against
George d. Hin and his bondsmen to recover
sl2 a. l6 aud interest from January l, l,S3, the
amount claimed being the deficit found in
aiill's accounts at the end Of his first term as
treasurer OF King county. Two other suits
were brought at the same time covering the de-
ficits in Hil's second and third terms, from 1883
to 1857. TIL second suit. covering the years
1883 aud 1854, was originally for $40 aud in
terest from January l, 1855, at 10 per cent
This suit is in the same shape as the one just
settled by the bondsmen. except that the judg-
ment has not been paid to the county. 1t
amounts now 20 about $1,000.
The third suit involving about $4,000, will be
decided by judge Iichtenberg this week. Like
the Others, IL has been through a referees court,
the district court and the supreme court, but
has not been 10 the United States supreme court
Ike the others.
The s14,5il7 70 paid 70 the county yesterday IS
nearly double the original El2,45Zl6, which was
the shortage claimed !r the first term. For the
nine years that it has bean running the county
gets sli 1925 for interest, $50 for costs ia the
superior and state supreme courts, $o9j to reim-
bur.e il for costs in the [ l!ted states supreme
court ands.0 Tor d b-iei also il the last-named

Nothing has yet been done about paying the
