BRUNSWICK NEWS.

Brunswick, Ca, July 13.-While in the
amendment filed by Attorneys Kay and
Twitty for the city the amount of short
age sued for on the Harvey bond is stat
ed at over $4,000 1t seems that the actual
figures given In the original petition will
not be materially changed. These figures
were approximately $2l, 900, but as the bond
was for SIS, 900 annually, attorneys for the
city filed their amendment to cover the
entire amount of the alleged shortage as
carried from year to year. This would run
the aggregate up to the amount named
which would be covered by the total
amount of bond. The story in these dis
patches was exclusive, and one OF the
