State Receives Portion Of OIL
Inspector Shortage.
SURETY COMPANY PAYS UP
Drastic Action Threatened I'm
less Bond Was Redeemed.

The state of Minnesota has received
$e,242.46 from the National Surety
company, the amount of it's liability
on the bond of Fenton G. Warner, for
mer state oil inspector. AS Warner
has gone into bankruptcy the state
will only recover small part of the
balance on the $4,000 shortage charged
up to him. The bonding company is
also due to lose the great part of
what it pays the state. The transac-
ton was outlawed criminally and the
state has no further recourse.
The surety company attempted to
escape payment on the ground that
it was not made a party to the suit
against Warner. The attorney gen
eral claimed that the company had
promised to pay if not made party
to the litigation, but this was dis
puted and finally Governor Johnson
called in the attorneys of the com.
pany and notified them that drastic
steps would be taken if the bond was
not redeemed. He threatened that
the company's license in Minnesota
would be revoked Agreement was
then made to settle the obligation.
