The suit is an echo of the alleged
embezzIement of state and county
funds by Greer during his tenure
in Office as sheriff and tax collector
Iof Lincoln county. The petition
recites that on Novebmer 5, 1907,
Greer was elected to the Office
named above. and that he applied
to the plaintiff to act as surety on
an indemnity bond for $65, 900.
The bond was executed on Decem-
ber 20, 1907. and on February 2,
1911, he absconded with money be-
longing to the state.
The surety company AYERS that il
was compelled to pay to the state
the sum Of So, ,940.53, the amount
owed by Greer after commissioners
and receivers appointed by the
Estate had collected from the various
ldepositories money held for Greer.
/ 1t also AYERS that it was put tc
the expense of employing attorneys
to make an investigation into the
lalIeged shortages. and that by rea-
SON thereof it is entitled to recover
the sum of $40. 900.
The parties against whom the
lsuit was filed are farmers and bust,
ness men of Lincoln county, all
former friends of Greer. and q
number of them live in the vicinity
of Brookhaven.
| Greer has never been located by
the police, although search has
been made for him in almost every
lefty, town and village in the
Estate. He was recently reported tt
| be IN Jackson. but a close search
failed to reveal his whereabouts.

Bridges were built and the car was
twice RATED over marshy lakes. In
one place blasting operations had
to be used to clear way. For two

An accident to the mechanism of
the car would have terminated the

opportunity to make repairs, and
the car was out Of reach of replace

The fact that the car made such
continual progress is believed by
hunters who have been over the
region, to indicate that Sands was
able to run for considerable dis
tances in the beds Of mountain

Sands will make a report to the
Pacific Highway Association.
