fession and an avoidance, and meant SIM

act upon It, The truth was. he said, that
congress was merely finding some excuse
under which It could continue business and

EMBEZZLEMENT
Is the Charge Against the Clerk Of
Paint Township.

W. w. Kretzer, Clerk of Paint town.
ship, was yesterday lodged in the High
land county Jail charged upon three
separate counts with having embe zzled
funds of that township.
Kretzer was arrested upon the oath of
the township trustees who allege that
upon April 26, '97, he converted SIP of
the township funds to his own use on
April 27, s2l % and upon April 20, '9s,
S..
Kretzer was arraigned before Squire
Ferguson, who bound him over to the
Grand Jury in the sum of $500. Failing
to comply with the requisition he was
lodged in Jail.
In the three counts against Kretzer
he is only charged with having appro.
priated in the aggregate about $40, al
though it is thought that his books will
show shortage of about $500.
Kretzer has been Clerk OF Paint town
ship for the last siz years and was con
sidered thoroughly honest.
