Jacobs Bondsmen Turn Into the city
Treasury SCI 900 and Get a Receipt.
The sum of s21, 600 was turned over to
the city of Butte yesterday by II. l..
Frank, w. u. Gwin and John O'Rourke,
bondsmen of the late Simon Jacobs, for
his last term. This was the amount
agreed on as a compromise. having
been accepted by the city council last
Wednesday evening. The total short
age of Mr.. Jacobs was about S4s,OOO, OF
which about $34 900 was in the last two
years. The $4,000 settles the shortage
OF the s34, 900. The other $4,000 OF short
age occurred in the four preceding
years, about $1,000 being in the first
term and $4,000 in the second term
w. A. Clark, j. h. Clark and III. Il.
Frank were bondsmen for the second
term and H. L. Frank, John Caplice
and j. K. Clark for the first term. The
Clarks have refused to settle or talk
compromise at all, and it will be neces-
sary for the city to bring suit before IL
can possibly recover the shortages pre-
ceding Jacobs last term. The old
bondsmen claim that the acceptance by
the city of Jacobs reports at the end
of his former terms releases them from
obligations, and that the shortage
must all fall on the bondsmen of the
last term. 1t will be a long time before
the courts will have finally settled the
question of the responsibility OF the
old bondsmen. If the courts decide
that the bondsmen of the last term are
responsible for the entire shortage, the
city will recover nothing more, as
receipt In full for all claims was given
by the city for the $21 900.
The bondsmen are greatly pleased at
settling the matter by compromise.
They would certainly have had to pay
the full amount If the matter had been
pushed by the city. The s21 900 has
been replaced in the sinking fund, from
which IL was illegally distracted.

of those pathetic Army songs that have
made so many converts. The young man
did not take his eyes from the singer and
he seemed totally oblvious Of everything

went to the meetings until finally the

at first. but before two weeks had come
