Swartzendruver bas for four years been mannger of the Western Real Estate exchange at this place and was sup- posed to have been doing a fair business. But the developments of the past few davs scem to indicate that his business was fair in quantity but not in quality. He was rep resenting the Nebraska Loan and Trust ccmpuny of Hastings, here, ana it was throuch n deal with them thut his methods were discovered. On the Gth of August he abtained a toan of §1,200 from the company for John Baughman on 240 acres of land not very far from Colun/bus, On the 8th of the present month the company sent an @ssignment of the mortguke to the county coerk for record, and it was dis- covered that there was no such mortenge as the one sought to te assiened on record and further that tne land descrived did not nor did it ever belonz to John Banghman, in fact that there was no such man 10 existence, o far as could be learned. Swartzendruver started Tuesday, as he said, for & visit to different points of the east, and on the following dav a representative of the company appeared and obtained a warrant for bis arrest, butas be had so much the start ne has got well out of reach. Three other cases have since turned up of thesame nature since this and there may be thers yet. ‘I'he news of crookedness on Mr. Swartzendruver's part was not believed until the most convincing evidence was brought out, and even now he has many believers in his ability to cloar his nams CHARGED WITH A Special to Tie Cumments on Panl's Case.

Less interest is being taken by tho public in cholera news, and the peoplo appear to tave lost the nervous apprehension which vrevailed at the outset.
