Officer to Secure Surety From Repre-
sentative Guarantee Company.
Special 10 Times Republican.
Mason City, Dec. 26.-By a reso1u-
ton passed by the board of supervisors
of this county, the county treasurer
was asked to give bond not signed by
the banker in whose bank the county
funds, or any part of them, are depos
tied The treasurer was instructed to
secure surety from reputable guaran-
tee company, the county to pay for the
bonds. This was done, and is an indi-
cation of the fact that the county
is able to ask interest from
the banks holding the funds of the
county. They will be asked to pay 2
per cent on daily balances" This in
terest will not only pay the bond. but
will give goodly sum to the treasury
in addition.
In the past the county treasurer has
been under obligations to- the bank
whose representative went on his
bonds. Now both the treasurer and the
county are Independent. For a time
the plan of asking each bank which
holds county bonds to put up a guar
antee bond was agitated, but that mat
ter was allowed to go over. The whole
action is only an outgrowth of the I'M
stable condition of some of the banks
Of the county, as recent developments
have shown.

a farm hand in the fields. He saved his
money, and In the winter months work

him for the office to which he was
subsequently elected.

five ran as an Independent. After

officers of the town, rallied to his res
cue and in the trouble that ensued an
uncle of the youth under arrest was
shot, and later died.
Smith was arrested for murder and
twice was convicted. When he appeal

ing that peace officer was not war
ranted in shooting to effect an arrest

came apparent that this doctrine would
effectively add to the contempt which

Immediately became very overbearing
and obnoxious. The attention of the
court was called to the fact that the
shooting was not for resisting an Off
Ger, but in preventing an outrage such
as rescuing an arrested person from an

officer Smith was given a retrial. On
the second trial he was again convicted
and now the governor has pardoned
him outright.
