H* Has Settled Hi* SbortmE®, But X* a
Penniless Man.
Ashland, O., Aug. 2.—Ex-Sheriff
Herzog, assisted by relatives and friends,
made good his seven-thonsand-dollar
shortage, and last night- at the time
the hearing had been delayed, the
bondsmen, by their attorneys, Camp
bell & Semple, appeared before the jus
tice and stated they wished to with
draw their charges, and asked the jus
tice to discharge the prisoner, which
was done, and Herzog is a penniless and
rained man, no longer an officer, and
without the respect of any one, but yet
at present a free man. The most of the
comments are: "Let him go, since it is
straightened up. If he only gets ont of
here, and gets some place and tries to
make a man of himpelf and provides for
his large family, which has drawn him
all the sympathy he has received by the
people generally. *
For the last week he, bis attorneys
and frieuds have worked vigorously to
raise him money with which to square
his shortage. Abont $3,000 was donated
him by parties at Mansfield, Loudon-
ville and hero. He borrowed all he
could of relatives aud turned over every
thing he owned to raise money, and it is
understood that what he lacked after
this was paid by his bondsmen. James
P. Seward and others, from Mansfield
and London ville, were here and aided in
settling up the shortage.
