Spinney, formter treasurer of Newton county, paid into the hands of Clerk Hess Monday the sum of-$4,304.77, to satisfy the judgment confessed and entered against Mr. Spinney and his bondsmen at the January term. The judgment proper was for $4,208.31 ; interest, $58.91, and costs, $37.55. As previously noted a judgment for $650.66 was secured against Christian L. Brandt in 1905 for an erroneous payment made to Mr. Brandt on a stone* road contract. Mr. Brandt’s financial affairs prior to his death were in such condition that the county deemed it inadvisable to push collection. The administrator of the estate, at the March meeting of the board proposed a compromise for SSOO, and the same was accepted, and has been paid into the treasury. These sums will be distributed and pro rated to the various funds to which they properly belong.
