S8mith Case Again, H. LOWY ARRESTED FOR FRAUD. Bobs up’ Another Batch of Affidavits Pre- sented—The O, E. 8. —-District Court—A Small Blaze— City News. The Smith Case Again, Another sensational chapter has been furnished in the Loyal L. Smith e by the filing of an information in the district court charging L. L. Smith and H. Lowy with the erime of digposing of goods with an intent to defraud creditors, and by the the arrest of Mr. Lowy upon the charge. The information was filed on June 9 and, while it has not been given to the public, is known to charge Smith and Lowy with the above named offense. Upon this in- formation Mr. Lowy was arrested in Chicago on Saturday on a telegram from the Omaha authorities. Requisition papers have been secured and Devuty Sherifl Grebe is now in Chicago and will return to this city in charge of Lowy, to-day or to-morrow. Tne charge upon which Lowy has been arrested is but another phase of the al- leged fraudalent disposal of the Smith stock of goods, by which the creditors were fearfully cheated. Smith made an alleged sale of his stock to Lowy for $40,- 000. Smith’s creditors, who had claims against the stock amounting to over $100,000, attacked the validity of the sale to Lowy. The goods, while the litiga- tion was pending, were taken by the court and, sold to. the highest bidder—S. P. Morse—for $78,000. The suit for the possession of this money was tried at Lincoln, and on March 5, 1866, the court decided in Lowy's favor. The creditors then sought and seeured an injunction restraining the court from paying the money to Lowy, and av the same time made a motion for a new trial on the ground of new evidence. in securing grounds upon which to base a mction tor a new trial. Smith was called out trom his place of concealment in Canada and made an aflidavit, which was published in the BE about a month ago, in which he allege concerned there was tion received by him nsfer of his stock to Lowy, and e was fraudulent, In preparing the fonse, Mr. Lowy's attc Hon. J. Woolworth and P 5 cured some juicy form of the c affidayits of Lewis Ccle and in which they make out Smith's is a cut from whole cloth, These papers will be filed in a day or two. 'he first is the confidential circular sent out by Fenney, Bashford & Tenney, a Chieago law firm, in which is shown “the inducements in consideration of which Smith agreed to make the “aflidavit that the alleged sale of the stock to Lowy was fraudulent. The circular is as follows: THE CIRCULAR TO CREDITORS. C11cAGO, May 10, 1886.—To the Creditors Smith, of Omaha, Neb.—Gentlemen : mith, as you know, on the 27th day of June, 1585, sold his stock of goods at Om: to one Haiman Lowy, ot Chieago, for the leged consideration “of $40,000, and fled to Cunada. He owed about $260,000, Creditors, aggregating about - 8113,000, attached the stock, and it was.soul for. $75,000. This money is now in court. A trial has been had in the Unitea States court, and the creditors were defeated, A motion for a new trial is ln-mlim.:, with no probability of success, un- nljnn new and important evidence can be sho; for the de- M to exist favoring the creditors. Under these circumstances Messrs, John V. Farwell and A. 8. Gage & Co,, of Chica- go, and the Merchants’ National bank and thé United Slates National bank, of Omaha, Neb.,, whose claims aggregate 000, have engaged our services in the matter. We have several times visited Smith in Canada and conferred with him fullg' concerning the affair. We are satistied that he can give the Docossary testimony, truthiully, to obtain a new trial and win fhe case, if disposed to. After much negotiation this scheme is pro- posed, and is the best that can be accom- plished. Creditors are to walve any right they have to arrest Smith, should he return here to testify. A new trial being granted, the case at Omaha to be again prosecuted, in connection with other auxiliary proceedings; with the new evidence diselosed, a recovery is almost certain to be had of $125,000, the real value of the stock when sold, On this basis the attaching creditors in priority up to the amount of * §75,000, to receive thirt cents on the face of their claims, and all other creditors twenty cents.

Respectfull 0SHFORD & LY, S COLE'S AFFIDAVIT, The second chapter of the opposition 18 found in tho aflidavit of Lewis Cole, Lowy's son-in-law, and for whom the stock was purchased from Smith by Lowy. His aflidavit is that on the even- ing of June 27, 1885, aftor the property in uestion had been delivered by Smith to L.owy, Mr. Woolworth and Mr. Lowy left the store at 11:30 o’clock, Ho says: “Smith and Sheilbey and Fuller and Morris remained. Smith and Morris afterwards went out together and were soon followed by Fuller und Sheilbey. Fuller said he would come down to the store the next morping and show me the outstanding accounts. 1 was engaged in the office looking over the and putting thew in the safe. When they went out I examined the windows and doors, fastened them and went out the front door.

Smith said ne intended “to re- main in Omahauntil Wednesday, when he would go to Chicago and retutn to Omaha in 8 week. Ho promised Lowy and me to remain in town until Wednes- day to explain the business to us and to introduce us to his customers, and we confidently ¢ ted him to doso. Smith did not that night or at any other time at the Paxton house or any place else give me $£20,000 or any other sum of money to the extent of 1. I was no party to any agrecment between Smith and Lowy or _any one that should hand to Smith or any other sum of money or that Lowy was to turn over to Smith £20,000, or any other sum, or that Smith should hand $20,000 or any other sum to me, nor did I ever hear of any such arrangement, or any item of such an arrangement, until after Smith's affi- davit was filed in this case on the motion for a new trial. So far as [ am concerned Smith’s whole story on that subjeet is a on. tarday, June 20, 1885, I saw Smith give Lowy the $7,000 drafts, * % * Smith took out three drafts and said to vy: “Give me your $3,000 draft and $14,000 in currency and I will o you these three drafts.” Lowy and I looked at the drafts and gave Smith a $3,000 draft and $4,000 in curiency for his three drafts, amounting to $7,000. On May 17, 1886, I left Chicago for the purpose of seeing Smith,' to ascertain rom him if Lowy’s note to him for $10,- 000 given on the sale here’in question had been transferred to an innocent pur- chaser. * * Finally learned that Smith was at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and [ went tbere, arriving on the mern- ing of May 19, and mot Mr. Smith:* He asked me to go to his room_but at my suggestion we took a ride. We were out about four hours. sked Smith if Le would make an afidavit that the Rote above referred to had been transferred so that Lowy could legally pay it. Lowy had been garnisheed on the note and did not want to pay it again. Smith refused to make the afidav I asked him. if the rumor was correct that he was “about'to return to.the states and give testimony st Lowy and me. He said it was, e said he was to have a release in full from all creditors and a ‘bond prom- ising him__ immunity from ‘arrést and that D.

They had offerel him $5,000 in cash and $5,000 at the end of the ul if he would give llc[pus_iliunm and pro- duce witnesses enough to” testify to what they wanted, * * ¥ Lthen said to Smith that 1f he would only testify to the truth it would be good for us, ind asked him what he meant to do about testimony. He looked at me and smiled and said Tenney and Rhodcs would let him know what to testify to. He said he had speculated, and los most of his money and had invested some in a scheme with Fuller and Moies, and had invested some with Kenyon in Detroit and Chicago. One son for his accepting the propesitiont was to be able to go to Detroit to attend to his business there. 1 s COLE. ] is attested by Frank P, cago notary publie, under dai of Jun 4, 1860, 3.

The glosing exercises of Brownell, announced to commence at 8 o'clock, were delayed till 8:30 o'clock. At that time, a comparatively good-sized audience had assembled in Boyd's opera house. The warring elements with- out, while they had exercised injurious sway over the toilots failed in dampening the ardor of those assembled. The stage was set with a wood, the perspective of which reaclied mnto breezy and grateful shades, to, which life was imparted by a silvery stream which flowed in the distance. 5 Ranged in rows across the stage sat the students of the hall. Their years ex- tonded from that of early girlhood to misses beyond their teens. They w dressed in purest white, and a prettier scone could scarcoly huve been imagined.

CRAWFORD FORGING AHEAD, Scenes In the Most Ploturesque Seo- tion of Nebraska—The Raile road Extension to the Pa« eific Oonst. CrAWroORD, Dawes county, Neb,, June 12, —[Correspondence of the Bre]—The wondrous development of this section of northwestern Nebraska reads like an Arabian Nights tale. A year ago last fall the first prairie schooners began to pick their way across the rango that sprends from Valentine to tho White river Twelve months ago in April tho first breaking of the soil by pilgrims was done in this portion of the White river valloy. To-day at least six thousand settlers are located whero there were then scarcely six hundred. Old Sioux county is split into three parts— each a lively, active, flourishing organization, with Dawes county, the centermost of the three, leading in popu- lation, wealth and agricultural pros- pect: ‘Thirty miles by rail from Chadron up the beautiful valley of the White river, whose sides are lined with the farms of prospering settlers, stands the little town of Crawford. THE LOCATION challenges comparison as the most boau- tifut and picturesque in the entire state. It stands at the gateway of two paral- lel .lines o ine-crested buttes, whose majestic sides rise tower- in, and seemingly inaccessible to a hoight of three thousand foot above the ocean level, and which sweeping around to the southwest enclose in walls of green and brown, like an amphitheater, the lovely valley of the White riyer. To the east towers the majestic pile of Crow Buttes; on the west stands the sentinel finger of Soldier Cliff. Miles away to the north rise dimly outhned against the horizon the treasure-bound peaks of the Black Hills, while all around nature has spread a carpet of living verdure, broken only by the ploughed lands of the farms through whose center the cool and rapid rive ins eastward to its junction with the Missouri. The town of Craw- ford is named after Captain Emmet Crawford, of the Third cavalry, and was {ocated by the railroad only two weceks ago. The town lots are not yet on sale, but the town, too enterprising to wait for maps and agents, his already put on the airs of a flourishing metropolis, The railroad iron 1s laid tc thirty miles beyond and a depot,section house and a large wa are now nearing completion. The si the bost for mifes. It consists of plateau on the banks of the river by gently undulating hills and flanked by the military reservation of Fort Robin- son. Fifteen business houses have already opened their doors and more are coming every day to compete for the trade of BEST FARMING SECTIO! in the county. The town draw bus ness from a radiusof nearly twenty miles thirty south and forty west. It a commanding position for the trade, standing as it does where converge from all the ncigh- boring ranges. In addition 1t possesses the advantage of being the market town for a large military post three miles dis- tant, which when rebuilt, will be in all Il:rnb;milu , & garrison of ten companies. Chis means & soldier population of six hundred and a pay roll of $100,000 a yeur exclusive of heavy bursements of the quartermasters department. The railroad company is to put its LOTS ON SALE through its agent, Mr. B, A. Paddock, on June 23, when the public sale will at tract & large crowd to secure desitable Tocations. -1lans have alrendy beenmudo securing & newspaper, building a church and cting a school house, and there is every prospect that before the summer is over Crawford will be able to h hard for the honor of rivaling adron in enterprise and -population. It posnesses some advantages over tho Magic City which the ole are inclined to make the most of. Water is abundant, sweet and cl Wells are only sunk twenty-three feet deep to procure an ample supply for domestic purposes whilo the White river furnishes every re- quirement for the use of the stock men. 'i‘he best and largest number of farms in the county surround Crawford and more of them than Chadron. The scener the soil grand,decp and fertile,ana above all the military post assumes a perma- nent population withirr gun shot of the trade center of the town itself. Intending locators cannot do better than to take a trip to Crawford on the day of the sale ot lots and look -over the situation. The of Elkhorn & Missouri Valley ro: them at the station in twenty-four hours time from Omaha. There are thousands of neres of fine farming lands -still un- taken in Dawes county within a short dis- tance from Crawford.

CiticAGo, June 14.—[Special Telogram to the Brk. |— WirAT—Wheat sold at a lower price in this market during the past week than it has sold for the same option in the past twenty-five years, and yet there are plenty of traders who say that it will sell still lower, Amony the speculators that 100k that way are several gentlemen who, but one short week ggo, were enthusiastic bulls and wholly devoted to that side of the markets With the generally demoralized feeling now existing in trade, the reported rains through- out the country, and above all, a probable increaso in the stocks of wheat at tho lead- ing points and a consequent rather small do- crease in the visible supply, it 18 ‘not likely that the first days of the week will see an advance in prices, The fact that current figs ures are phenomenally low, that warchouse supplies, as a whole, are only reasonable, those of winter wheat being exceptionally light, and that the yield of winter grain prome is0s to be searcely fair, while the erop of spring wheat is yef to be made, seems to cuta very littlo figure with speculation, Lo-day wheat was only moderately active, with the or part of the tradingaf a local speeula- t1ive and sealping nature.
