Ell Reno News: T. F. Hensley yester-
day received a check from the county
treasurer reimbursing him for $500 he had
lost, and which, for a long time. he de-
SPARED Of ever recovering. When the
county issued bonds in 1885 Hensley was
the first to purchase the bonds, most OF
which were sold to eastern spectators.
His bond was No. l, Series l of the '95
issue. The bond was placed in a private
vault in the First National Bank, Mr..
Hensley says, and no further thought Civ
en- it for months. Going to his private
vault one day, Hensley found that the
bond was gone and az once notified B. f.
Still, the cashier of the bank. Mr.. Still
was unable to throw any light on the
mystery and for over year a search
was kept up for the missing bond. The
county commissioners at different ses-
sions were asked to take action in the
matter and at a recent session the treas
urer was instructed to call in bond No.
/, series l, for payment. The bond not
being offered, the board OF commission
ers at the present session ordered the
treasurer upon receipt OF an indemnifying
bond by Mr.. Hensley, to pay the amount
OF the bond with accrued interest. 1t
was a matter of simple justice and the
editor of the Democrat re1oices.
