N 'FADDEN FILES
LAST OFFICIAL
NOTICE

On Friday, District Attorney C. J.
McFadden filed notice of suit in the
case of White Pine county against
the first bondsmen of former sherif
A. J. Butler, alleged to have en-
bezzled s19S1.92 of the county's
money. The bondsmen named in the
pending suit are H. A. Comins, A. J.
Stevens, Albert Heusser, Peter ST.
Peter and John A. Magnuson. No
papers have yet been served.
The defedants were on Buffers
first bond, and the suit is to recover
the sum representing the shortage
during Buffers first term, according
to an audit of the county books made
by Warwick, Mitchell & Co.
Buffers total shortage of county
and state money is said to be above
$4,000, as shown in the report of the
public accountants who audited his
accounts. This is the second suit
commenced against the bondsmen,
for the recovery of the money.
Butler has been among the miss
ing since the morning of May II,
1911, when he left Ely stating he
was going to San Francisco in search
of Peter st. Peter, whom l. was said
had fallen a victim to confidence
men. The shortage in his accounts
was discovered very soon after when
the grand jury ordered the safe in
the sheriff's Office to be opened.
