Can’t Live Off Pulaski County And Hoard Up Your Money.

Winamac Democrat-Journal. Through the efforts of Judge Vurpillatt, the treasury of Pulaski county will be about $1,500 richer in a short time. His Honor discovered that Mrs. Caroline Shultz, an Insane inmate at the county infirmary, had been’ receiving a large pension for a number of years past, and had in this way accumulated quite a large sum of money. As the woman had been an inmate at the infirmary since 1898, Judge Vurpillat decided that the county was entitled to some pay for her keeping, and he accordingly ordered W. S. Huddleston, Jr., guardian of Mrs. Shultz, to pay the county the sum of $1,547. The sum represents the price of $3'.50 per week for 442 weeks, the court having decided that $3.50 per was about the right price for the accomodations given one at the county farm, and the county treasurer will receive the amount in a short time. Besides her pension the woman had also drawn a sum of mopey as pensions for her children while the latter were under 16 years of age. The money has been in charge of her former guardian, George Gray,' but hereafter her affairs will be looked after by her new guardian, W, S, Huddleston, Jr.
