White County Ex-Sheriff Refunds $517.65 To County.

Some time ago, in accordiance with the report of experts employed to examine the records of White county, the commissioners of that county brought suit against ex-Sheriff J. H. McCully, making a demand of $2,000 claimed to be due the county. Wednesday Judge Wason rendered a decision holding that Mr. McCully w r as liable to the county for $517.65, fees paid him for jury and election services. The pay of the sheriff for these services had. been in question for some time and Judge Wason decided that there was no law authorizing it. Mr. McCully at once paid the amount and thus discharged all his alleged obligation to the county.
