Measure For Partition In Courthouse
SCOTT TO FACE SECOND CHARGE A M Shorty Scott Friday waived arraignment and pleaded not guilty to pointing a weapon and later faced robbery with firearms charges. The first was in county court with bond set at 500 dollars, the latter in justice court. The case stems from an attempted shooting in the law office of W F Schulte during a dispute over papers. Schulte later gave Scott the papers involved. A note for 1250 dollars tied to the robbery charge was reported. Separately, county officials began measuring for a partition in the courthouse between the treasurer and county clerk offices. The move, required by the bonding company for Tommy Ford, aims to keep the public out of the treasurer’s office and tightens bond terms from 75000 to 100000 dollars. The court ruled Ford and the bonding company would not be party to suits arising from investments by his predecessor without Ford’s negligence. Sinking funds investments must be approved by the bonding company. otherwise the treasurer may be asked to resign or bond canceled. County commissioners approved the bonding requirements to simplify fund handling.
