County Officials Promise Full Payment On Treasurers Defalcation Bonds
County Attorney R P Kepler told farmers at the commissioners meeting that Cheyenne county will collect the full amount of the defalcation under the Biggs bond. The delay stems from determining exact dates of misappropriation and possible additional shortages in tax collections. Kepler refused a bonding company compromise and asserted full payment plus interest, while noting one company will be named if action is taken. Continuous investigation is in progress to uncover any further defalcations from Biggs’ term.
