None of the indictments against Bay
| County officials have been made public as
| yet. but several of those alleged to be
short in their accounts have made good
| the deficiencies. Ex-County Treasurer
| Prybeski claims that he has no actual
shortage, but that the apparent discrep-
ancy is due to the fact that the grand jury
assumed that every liquor dealer who filed
bond took out a license, which was far
| from being the case. The auditing COM
mittee of the County Supervisors have
made annual settlements with him during
| his four years in office, checked over his

| and struck at the animal with his horse
| whip. At the first blow the boar charged
| on him. and Golf, not expecting anything
| of the kind, was ill-prepared for the as
sault. In the first rush the boar knocked
| Golf down and attacked him with his
| teeth, nearly tearing the calf from his
| leg. Golf struck at the boar with the butt
| of his whip, but was unable to drive the
brute away until some laborers in a near
| by field heard his cries and rushed to his
| assistance. Before they arrived the hog
| had bitten Golf severely on his left leg
| and body and the men were forced to kill
the boar before it gave up the battle. Golf
was taken to his home. but the doctors
say he cannot possibly recover.
