BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 9-(SpecIal)
"A number OF cases on this docket this
term were settled out Of court and not a
few continued until mex term. William e.
Willard, who has been under bonds for
over two years charged with absconding
with funds belonging to the county trea-
surer while employed as a clerk in that
department, pleaded guilty to the charge
and threw himself on the mercy of the
court. Judge Hostetler suspended sentence
under the following conditions: that Will
lard should pay back the money he had
taken together with the expenses incurred
by the county in bringing him to justice
and that for the next seven years he must
report at each term to this division of the
district court. During that time, should
Willard violate the law in any way, he is
to be brought into court and sentenced
on the original charge. This apparently
disposes Of a case that from time to tim
has caused some mild wonderment.
