W. A. Paff, brother of the Ex- Treasurer, sacrificed everything he had in the world to make up as far as was in his power the short age of his brother. Some of I'hB'k bondsmen also have financially crippled themselves in paying their portion of the money due the county.

The amount of money Paff squandered or otherwise disposed of during his four-year term of office mut have been in the neighborhood of $30,000. His shortage was nearly 22.000; four years' salary something like and in addition to this he was interested in a businessenterprise which probably net ted him $1 000 a year. To put 30-000 in circulation in four years or an average of 20 a day without the peo- vle suspecting that he was leading a trifle too rapid a life for a custodian of public funds, continues as deep a mystery as ever to county tax payers.
