C. Outcalt, cashier of the defunct Capital National bank, for some “time yet. Ever since the firm bid in the property for something less than $10,000 last week there has been a lively suspicion that the real purchaser was one J. D. Macfarland, one of the endorsers on the notes leld by the Des Moines firm. It is generally believed that Macfarland had the property bid in for himself, and that he has had some secret understanding with Mrs. Outcalt, in whose name the property stands on the records. Yesterday a number of protests were tele- graphed to the comptroller of. the currency at Washington, representing that the alleged sale was a fraud upon the depositors, and that it had been attempted in order to pro- tect the Interests of ex-Receiver Macfarland as endorser of Mosher. It was further repre- sented to the comptroller that one of the at- torneys representing Roceiver Hayden is the father-In-law of acfarland, and for that rea- son the receiver has taken no steps to pre- vent the depositors from suffering through 4 the sale of the property to outside parties. ®- As a result of all these representations the comptroller was requested to instruct the re- celver to have the confirmation of the sale postponed until an investigation could be had by the Treasury department. This morning Recelver Hayden received in- structions from the comptroller of the cur- confirmation and Judge Tibbetts granted it in spite of the earnest protests of Attorney Hall, who insisted that the sale had been perfectly legal as to form and that it could not be set asid SOME METHOD IN HIS MADNESS. State Auditor Moore s of the oplnion that It A. G. Shears, the missing citizen of Chadron, is suffering under temporary ab- <= erration of mind, he has considerable prac- tical method in' his madness. Saturday afternoon Shears,.who is an old acquaintance of thoe auditor, called upon the latter at the state house, and after conversing awhile asked the state officlal to endorse a draft for him. He explained that he had been called to Lincoln on business matters, and had left hurriedly without bringing with him any funds. Since coming to Liocein, he said, he found that he would have to go to Oklahoma on a business trip. He had money on deposit in the First National bank at Chadron. ~ Would Mr. Moore endorse his draft for $100? Mr. Moore would, but now he wishes he wouldn't, for this forenoon he recelved word from the cashier of the First Natlonal at Chadron, informing him that Bhears had no money on deposit there. The draft was cashed through the Merchants bank of this city, and the latter has notified Mr. Moore of the fact that it has been pro- tested. The cashler of the Merchants bank stated 4+ to The Bee this afternoon that Saturday of last week Shears came in and asked him if ho was familiar with the signature of Auditor " Moore or Treasurer Bartley. Upon belug as- | “=-reney to Intervene and prevent the confirma- tlon of the sale of the Outcalt property until the matter could be investigated. The or- der of the court was to the effect that the sale should be presented for confirmation this forenoun at 10 o'clock. When that hour arrlved Attorneys Wheedon and Magoon were present for the protection of Outcalt's in- terests, Attorney Hall appeared for the Des Molnes brokers, while G. M. Lambertson | and Judge Cobb appeared for the recelver. The latter asked for a postponement of the sured of the fact wished to draw upon funds, but being a stranger in Lincoln he would have to request the auditor or treas- urer to endorse his draft.

GOSSIP AT THE STATE HOUSE. The manufacturing drug and dhemical firm of Kuhn & Co. of Omaha filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state today.

Closed on Attachments for 815,000, HASTINGS, Neb., March 10.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—J. R. Morin & Co., wholesale dealers in eggs and butter, was closed on an attachment on notes aggregat- ing $15,000. The failure of the house was a great sur- prise, as it has a cash capital of $200,000 and has always enjoyed a high credit. The Cedar Rapids house scemed to be in trouble and this attachment by the bank is looked on as an effort to secure their claim in ad- vance of other creditors. The company has branches at Holdrege, Neb., and half a dozen Towa - towns, with headquarters in Cedar :‘(nplds and Hastings and operating in Bos- on. The failure of Morris & Smith of Boston, directors and backers of the J. R. Morin company, to pay sight drafts drawn on them by the Morin company and cashed by the Adams county bank, is responsible for the closing of the Hastings house, but all the other branches will be affected. A sudden drop of several cents In eggs recently knocked the bottom out of the market and thousands of dollars were lost in the flurry. Suit has been brought by the Creamery Package Manufacturing company for the re- covery of $1,400, and this, with the attach- ment, represents liabilities made known. The firm has been in Hastings three years, has done a good business and made itself yery popular with Hastings people. The plant located here is regarded as. very complete and occupies quite a desirable location. This is the first embarrassment any Hastings firm has felt during the entire financial crisis, and this is not attributable to local causes. CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., March 10.—The J. R. Morin company, with a capital stock of $90,- 000, extensive egg dealers and owners of six creameries near here, failed today. The total liabilities are $14,000 and assets $65,000. The failure was due to the inability of the stockholders, who live in Boston, to furnish money. It is reported that the liabilities will aggregate $200,000, involving Morris, Smith & Co. of Boston, who own the entire stock of the Morin company. MR. VAN BOSKIRK'S DENIAL, He Does Not 1. of C. W, ALLIANCE, Neb., March 9.—(Special to The Bee.)—J. R. Van Boskirk of this cfty has mailed the following letter to the Lincoln Journal: “In your Issue of March 5 your anony- mous correspondent includes my name ak one of the debtors to the Capital National bank. As you freely publish an anonymous communication, I presume you will as freely glve me room to say your correspondent is mistaken as to myself. “I do not owe the Capital National a penny, in any shape or form. I did owe one M. D. Welch something over $2,000, but this amount was, paid to Welch by Hon. B, J. Hainer, the Aurora congressman, on May 1, 1893, and I have Welch's acknowledge- ment of same under date of May 5, 1893. ho Capital National held some of these notes, I presume, as collateral at the time of the failure, and in this way my name ap- pears on their records. For the truth of my assertion I refer any one interested to the Iirst National bank at Alliance, the Hamilton County bank at Aurora, Hon.
