recently, says the Tucson Star He re-
ports a prosperous state of affairs in
and about his section of the territory.

! tory crops and the mining men are all
doing well with prospects of greater

The county of Pinal has commenced
suit against the sureties on the bond of
defaulting County Treasurer P. r.
Brady, Jr., for the sum of $6,19O.OS
which defalcatiOn, the district attor-
ney alleges, occurred since April 1st
1899, says the Florence Tribune 1t is
understood the contention of the bonds
men will be that the shortage occurred
long time prior to April LIST. and that
the present bond is responsible for only
small proportion of the amount Be
this as it may. it is more than likely
that further suits will grow out of the
case, involving other county officers for
neglect of duty in failing to make reg
ular quarterly settlements with the
treasurer as the law requires. 1t is
claimed if this had been done the short
age would never have occurred.
