Guardian Used His Ward's Funds

FAILED TO MAKE ACCOUNTING TO PROBATE COURT

Admits Using the Funds But Promises to Restore All the Money

Some days ago Judge Watkins issued a body attachment returnable at 2 o'clock this afternoon and placed it in the hands of Sheriff Gauntlett, commanding the presence of one Wm. L. Bussey to answer to the charge of contempt of court in having failed to file his account as guardian of one Clyde L. Pirie, minor. Bussey, it seems, was ordered by the probate court on June 2nd to make an accounting of his guardianship, He failed to do this and hence the attachment. 

Monday he came into court and rendered the accounting and was thus purged of contempt. He frankly admitted having used the funds belonging to the before mentioned minor in his own business, but promises before the final settlement will make good all funds so used. 

He will probably be removed and another guardian appointed to collect these funds improperly appropriated and such other business as there may be still to close up.
