Oedelt Orer 2 Banker and a Lawyer, “|The Bank Closed and The Lawyer Arrested, A gentleman from Sac county, who was in the city yosterday, brings fresh details concerning the excitement prevailing in that little burg over the conduct of two of its citizens, a banker by the name of Wright, the other a lawyer namod Georgo. The bank about a weok ago closed its doors, and an as- signment was made to the banker's brother at Wall Lake, while the Odebolt man disappeared. It is said that almost oyerybody in tewn has more or less de- posited in the bank, and the expe ctation of losing all their money caused the ex- citement to run high. It leaked out that the banker had bought a marshy piece of ground for 600, and that he had been trying to effect a loan in Chicago of 815,000 from a bank there with which he had been doing considerable businoss, and that he had been planning to mortgage this piece of property for that amount. This attempt was thwart- od, but the story leaked out and added still more fuel to the flames, so that the public imndignation was all ablaze. The banker returncd homo a night or two ago, and 8o intenso has been the feeling that violence was feared, and he had to go to his home under a guard, and the house was kept guarded. Whilo the excitement was running high concerning the bank another rovela- tion concerning a lawyer of the place, named George, gave another theme for talk. It appears that some time ago a mAn nam named Purcell, living there, was robbed of his pocketbook and a $60 draft. A man named Hay was arrested on the charge, and George was his attor- ney. On the trial Hay was cleared, tho strongost point in his favor being a de- position purporting to be made by a man S NSHEEIGEL 16 WAL L selling nurs- ery stock in Nebraska, and in which Hart claimed that he had paid Hay the draft in the presence of George and some other witness, Itis claimed now that Hart was never in Nebraska, and that George himself went there, and imper- sonating Hart, swore to this deposition, in order to clear his client. George had been away guilty bofore Justico Vaughan yesterday, and after roceiving a fatherly talting to, was allowed to go on his promise to sin no more. Gus Heister while at work atthe resi- dence of C. B. Johnson on Hunison street, was struck on the check by a chisel falling from a scaffold, and a bad gash was cut, he being neither an insur- ance man nor a reporter. Jesse Hoff, who was recently arrested on complaint of John Stelter, for larceny and who was acquitted, has now com- menced suit, by his attorneys, Lindt & 'I:-rt. claiming~ §5,000 damages of Stel- T, Goorge Notos, the assistant electrician of the Pilcher, Bowen & Vaughan eloc- tric light company is here ready to com- mence work, but discovers that some of the lesser pibces of the machinery are missing, and they have been telegraphed for but as they have to be sent lrom%m- ton this may cause a little delay in get- ting the light started. All should remember those who in all sorts of weather and under all sorts of difficultios bring the lettera to the homes and tothe desks of the citizens—the mail carriers, TLey are to have their first annual ball on the evening of the 28th in Bloom, & Nixon's hall. A happy time is promised all who attend, and the carriers certainly morit a hearty support in their enterprise. H. J. Franklin, of Lincoln, and Miss Fendlon, of St. Louis, were yesterday married in this city, in the presence of a fow of his frionds,including George Dam- row and D. W. H. Schrickman, both of Lincoln. The bridal party made head- quarters at the Ogden house Mr. Franklin is in the laundry business at Lincoln, and has many friends there, who will heartily welcome him and his bride to a home in Lincsln, George Snell, one of the well known residents of Council Bluffs, was last even- ing happily married to Mrs, Annie Goldsby. The wedding was a very quiot affair, and Mr, Snell in his accustomed modesty did his best to keep the news- paper men from nosing it out. He has Just purchased a cosy residence just east of the Methodist church, and furnished it nicely, and the newly married ones yrooe«ind to occupy the new house, The Mission Sunday schools which have been held on Sunday afternoons for * along time past, in the Curtis and Cen- ter school buildings, are now barred' out by the Board of Education, Mr, Petti- ‘bone being the ministerial officer to do the work. The Board of Education seems determined to keep the public hauling at them, The Sunday school is one of the civilizers of the world at least, and just what harm a gathering of this sort does that it shall be prevented from meeting 1n a school building it is difficult to see. court house, supposed to be dedicated as the temple of justice, is afterward used for political gatherings, where the most unjust ms nrwko& methods are used, and falso statements made.

Odebolt is said tohave almost suspend- ed business, and the citizens are spend- ing most of their time in talking over the sudden change in the career of these two men, who have been 80 prominent in the aflairs of the town. e — An Unwritten Story, Lecture at Dohany's Opera House, Thursday evening by Rev.

Théte wore threo divorce cases started in the district courb yesterday. One of them was that of Mary M. Johnson vs. Charles M. Johuson, to whom she was married in 1870. She claims that in the course of a few years he became an habitual drunkard, and that in August, 1881, he loft her, shd went to Minne- sota. Another case was that of Elizabeth A. Smith vs. Silas A, Smith, They were married (n Avoca in January, 1876, and she claims that sho afterwards dis- covered that he was already mar- ried to another woman, and that the first wife got a divorce from him in May 1876, a few months after his marri- ago to the plaintifl. On finding this out, they separated, and now she wants the court to give her a divorce and restore to her the maiden name of Beem, The third divorce case filed yesterday was that of Alexander T. Townsend vs. Isabel Townsend. He claims that they were married in September 1881, nt Olarinda, and that in November 1882, she had deserted him, and had since be- come a rather disreputable woman living in Atlantic, All of these applicants for divorce are residents of Avoca. e —— THE NEW DYEWORKS, F.

From the scales on some ef our boys noses it would seem that a midnight set-to, with Queensbury rules to govern, was not altogether the nicest thing to en- gage in. Two men that wers locked up last night in the calaboose by Marshal Hems- worth, made good their escape by prying the door off the hinges some time during the night. They had help from the out side no doubt. The only objection raised in the matter is raised by t o marshal who hates to have his boarders absent at meal time, they having fled when he brought them breakfast. W. H. Mullane, late of The Neola Reporter, meditates going to work for The Council Bluffs Globe. Will is a good fellow and we hate to see him fall from grace in that kind of style. More Ver, DEAD BEAT DURGIN. A Chicago Drummer Whose Business in Towa Seems to Bleed Hotel- Keepers. Silloway's Experience With Him, Despite the rigid law in this State making it a criminal offense to beat a hotel out of a bill, there are many who do 0. Mr. Silloway the proprietor of the Ogden house here, and the Northwestern at Cedar Rapids, has had some experionce lately with one, who has been traveling for some time in this State, and wko has been considered rather a straight fellow, until recently, when he seems to have fallen from grace as will be seen from the following ac- count of him as given by the Cedar Rap- ids Gazette, and other information is re- ceived to the effect that he has been working all the hotels along the line. Hotel men in several parts of the state are anxious as to the whereabouts of one D. 8. Durgin, a salmon eyed commercial saint who recently visited this state and city in the interests of J, T. Emerick & Co., wholesale tobacconists of Chicago. Durgan came to this city about the 20th of last month, and stopped at the North- western Hotel, making that his head- quarters, as is customary with traveling men, while working in the small towns in this vicinity. After the propriotor was interested in Durgin’s future welfare about $10 worth, that individual came in to settle up and asked the clerk to cash a 860 check for him. The check looked suspicious and Joo refused to cash it but loaned Durgin €6 to pay his expenses out to Belle Plaine and back. This was the last seon of Durgin for two weeks, when Mr. Silloway, when on his way to Council Bluffs, met Durgin at Marion, enroute he said to Cedar Rapids,to spend Sunday. Mz, Silloway went on to Coun- cil Bluffs, and there found that Durgin had worked Mark Durvee of the Ogden for $6.00 board and a loan of $10. On his return to Cedar Rapids it was found that Durgin had not been here at all. During his stay here he stolo a valuable dog of J. C. Broeksmit, and forgot to re- turn a good overcoat which he bor- rowed () from the clerk at the Pullman house. ~ Ahout the time of Durgin's debut here he had an item published in tho Chicago dailies to the effect that he had fallen heir to $500,000, at New Hampton, which of course was a brazen lie. Mr, Silloway, after he became con- vinced of Durgin’s rascality, wrote to the firm reprosented by him asking an expla- nation. He received the consoling re- ly from Mr. J. T. Emerick that they had discharged Durgin, and that as he was only working on commission, the firm were inno way_ respousible. The firm kindly expressed their sympathy for Mr. Silloway, however. Hotel men through- out the state will do well to watch out for Durgin, who has lain himself liable to a fine and imprisonment by his great act in this city. If he should” ever want to travel through Iowa again we suggest that he come in the interest of some un- dertaking establishment,and carry among his sample coffins one that will fit him— in case of an emorgency, you know. e — Six per cont city and farm loans. 8.
