Childers for losses from the failed Farmers & Traders National Bank. The decision stems from a suit by George Miller representing the Taxpayers' League. If upheld, the county would pay $9,515.84 to Frawley and $2,160.26 to the sheriff, with an appeal possible and the March Supreme Court term likely delaying payment.
