He urged them not resist the officers, saying that all who tock part in the resistance were equally liable.

This afternoon, Michael Langen, one of the men for whom warrants are came into town and was recognized by the marshal and arrested. Citi- zens made strong chjzctions to the marshal to out, holding Langen, claiming it would result in an immediate attack on the town. Marshal Cronan decided the boldest course was the best, and will send the prisoner to Rolla in a buggy with two deputies. Immediately on the arrest, a mounted courler on the watch in the brush near town, left for the half-breed camp. There was great excitement on his arrival. The half- breeds began dancing and preparing their ponies and bands started toward town several times, but apparently were recalled by the leaders. An immediate attack seemed prob- able and the women and children here were collected from the outlying houses. Agent Hall then went to the camp again. When he first went in they were still much excitsd and claimed he had promised them that no arrests should be made that afternoon. Hall told them he had promised that the marshal would not attack but not that if they came into town they would not ba taken. It was the duty of the marshal to serve the war- rant if he found the man. A Winnipeg special to the Globe says The Manitoba dragoons, the Ninth rifles, the Winnipeg fleld battery and the Royal Canadian dragoons (regulars) have been noti- fied to held themselves in readiness to pro- ceed to Turtle Mountain, to prevent the In- dians and half-breeds from crossing the boundary.

Mr. Lambertson, in continuing his ar- gument from yesterday's adjournment, said | that Attorney Ames had, in the present cas palpably shifted his positicn from the one he | previously occupled in the trial of the against Hill two years ago in Omaha. Counsel said that while Bartley, the present treasurcr, was disposed to walve his right of action in this and in a previous case, he had not the right to waive the right of the state to maintain an action in this case, Mr. Lambertson urged that in case the bond were admitted in evidence, and in case a suit were con.menced upon that depository bond, in his opinion nothing could ever be collected upon, even if it were a good bond, because, as no money had been put in the bank, no consider- ation incurred. He believed it would be im- possible to recover on that bond, even if every surety were sound at the present day BARTLEY'S ACTION NO BAR It had been claimed that Bartiey had ratl- fled Hill's deposit by checking against It, But Bartiey could not ratify what Hill had no right to do. The fictitious credit in a rotten bank was not mouey, as recognized by the state. Bartley had no right to take a certifi- cate of depesit from Hill. The intent of the depository law was that the money of the | state should bo In the treasury, and then that the different banks designated as depos- itories should come in and bid for it. It had | been claimed that had Bartley drawn out the $255,000 on the certificate he would, under the pository law, have been compelled to put it all back again. Mr. Lambertson held dif- ferently. He could have used it in paying running expenses of tae state. He couid have held it a reasonable tim: anlasked other banks to have come in and bid on it. It loaned for less than 3 per cent, it could be placed at more than that it banks had bid mcre. It has been claimed by the defense that the state could sue on the depository bond The counsel doubted that, even were the bond good. The bondsmen, he contended, were not responsible for an old debt of the bank. Had the money, actual money, been put in the bank, Bartiey could have taken it out the next day and protected the state But the bank had been insolvent and rotten for a long period prior to the c nant ol the bondsmen. Bartley, in getting out of It what he could, $45,000, had broken the bank. Counsel did not believe a dollar could have been recoverad from the bondsmen for this reason. Hill had been juggling with credits instead of cast “Now,” said Mr. Lambertson, “would be a good time for this court to rebuke the prac- | tica of investing the money of the State university and for the penitentiary in rotten banks on a band given by rotten bondsmen.’ Out of the $1,500,000 alleged to have been turned over to Bartley by Hill, $500,000 had been in school funds. It is presumable that at least §75,000 of the $236,000 lost in the bank was school money, although there was no separate record kept of that fund as hav- ing been deposited. Kach fund in the treas- ury should have been kept separate, so far as it related its deposit in banks Mr. Lambertson closed his argument on the admission of the depository bond in evi- dence at 10 a. m., and the court held a short consultation. Seven attorneys had spoken at length upon the question, Judge Wakeley and Mr. Lambertson for the state, and Mesers. Ames, Wheedon, Broady, Cowin and Rinaker for the defense, The court an nounced that it would not render a decision the question of admitting the depos- National bank in pon itory bond of the Capital evidence until Monday afternoon DISCUSSING HILL'S BOND. Judge Wakeley occupied some time in dis- cussing the liabllity of Hill on his bond as state treasurer. The counsel cl that, while Hill had not techinaclly his hame to the bottom of the document, he had, with his own hand, written in his name in several places in the body of the bond, and executed it as his bond. Judge Wakeley quote authorities to show that, under the common law, Hill's bond was complete and binding on all his sureties. Counsel held, from what he had found in the law reports which he quoted, that bonds- men could Lold a principal and recover from him, if solvent, even though the principal did not sign the bend. Upon the several de- cisions quoted, counsel said that the state rested its case on this one point, the absence of Hill's signature to the bond. The bonds- men were in nowise injured. The absence of his signature did not release Hill's liability to the bondsmen, and, therefore, it should not release him, as a principal, from the liability on the bond in question. Judge Wakeley said he might, perhaps, be anticipating evidence to be submitted in the future, but he was conviced that when they placed witnesses on the stand to show that they had any knowledge of Hill's failure to sign the bond, it would be a most humiliat ing failure. When they should call Gov- ernor Thayer and ask him if he had any knowledge of a pricate understanding whereby Hill was not to sign the bond, what would his answer be? It could be easily an- ticipated. Reverting again to the details of the bond in question, Judge Wakeloy read a decision to the effect that a note reading, “I, J. S., promise to pay, ete.,” was as binding as one written, “I promise to pay, ete.,” and signed b Judge Wakeley completed his argument upcn the validity of Hill's bond, and the court adjourned until Monday afternoon oflicial imed | flxed | inks Nebraska d Enough.
