Suite Brought Against two Bur.

Funds

Suits Brought Against two Bur-
1tngton Firms to Recover State
Funds
There has been filed in the Office of
the circuit court of Des Moines coun-
ty two suits against business firms of
this sity, claiming large sums Of mon
ey due the state of Iowa from said
firms on account of excessive charges
made by them for goods purchased by
s. H. Craig, the warden of the Fort
Madison penitentiary. The defen-
dants are Greenbaum,S chroder& Co.,
of whom $4,000 is claimed and III.
r. Hunt, of whom $4,000 is claimed.
The suits are brought in the name of
the state of Iowa by John f. McJun-
kin, attorney-general Of the state.
The petitions in both cases are SIM
liar and aver that Seth III. Craig was
warden Of the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary for six years, from 1872 to 1878,
and as such warden, was general f.
nancial agent and superintendent of
said penitentiary, with power to pur-
chase supplies therefor in the name
and on account Of the state of Iowa,
and was charged with the disburse-
ment Of all moneys appropriated for
the support thereof. That from time
to time during said period Seth III.
Craig, as warden, purchased large
amounts of goods, wares and mer-
chandise of said defendants, in the
name Of the penitentiary, and nomin-
ally for the use thereof. From time
to time the said defendants, conspir-
ing with said Craig to defraud the
state of Iowa, rendered false and
fraudulent accounts thereof and pre-.
sented false and fraudulent vouchers
for the goods so sold to Craig as war.
den, largely exceeding in amount and
value the articles go sold, with the in.
tents to enable said Craig, as warden
to defraud the state by obtaining from
the state treasury sum larger than
was required for the general supper,
of the peniten tiary, and larger than
was actually expended by him on &C
count therefor. The petitions also
aver that the defendants received
from the warden money from the
state In pretended payment for the
goods purchased by him largely ex.
ceeding the prices Of the goods de-
livered, and largely exceeding the &C
tual value thereof. The excess 30 OBJ
tanned, the state asks judgment fcl
against the defendants in the SUM
named above.
The suits will be commenced in thu
next term of the circuit court Of thil
county, which will convene Monday
The defendants were served with no
tice of the suits several weeks ago
but the defendants have made no an.
swer or reply to the petition as yet

There's Many q Slip Twixt Cup
and LID"


and LIP"
One day last week license was is
sued to Chas. ellison, Of Eddyville, to
marry Miss Anderson, formerly Of
that place, but now OF Monroe coun-
ty. 1t was to be sly marriage; no.
body was to know anything Of it but
the parties interested and all that
sort Of thing. The wedding day
soon came around, and on the plea of
business Charley got of, and hied him
away to the country residence of his
dulcines. That bridal dinner was q
good one, and the girl, who was well
up in the plot, informed her people
that she was going out with Charley
for . ride, and not to be alarmed at
her absence. A good natured justice
was visited, but he would not marry
. couple in Monroe county on Wa
pello county license. The minister
over the way was appealed to but he
too was in the same fix, and thought
more Of the law than Of the pleasure
of the singularly asserted couple, and
there was nothing to do but wait the
current of events.
They returned, and NO one was the
wiser of their difficulty until the gar.
rulous old squire gave them away.
The young lovers not to be deter.
red by such ripples ON the sea where
all should be smooth sailing, deferred
the marriage, at the suggestion of the
girl, until such time a. she would have
leisure to visit Wapcllo county, when
they would be married in spite of law
or high water. Charley has gone in
to q decline and now only weighs a
little over three hundred pounds.
The law always was q little too nice
about small things Of that Sort and
we hope there will be no more trifling
obstacles thrown in the way of the
loving pair. If they come down here
we will find . man to marry them
and NO questions asked.

Conrad Kapp, Of Keokuk, finally
starved himself to death. He died al
half past one o'clock Tuesday morn.
ing. The Constitution says:
He was conscious at the time of his
death and spoke to each member OF
his family, calling them by name.
The deceased quit eating on the 18th
of Octo Der, and remained for 20 days
without food or water. On the even
ing Of the Goth day food was forced
down his throat, and in six days
thereafter he died. He lasted longer
than the hysicians supposed he would
and his case is such strange and in
teresting one, that Drs. Weismann and
Mcdonald have secured data to write
q history of the case, which will be
done ere long.
Kapp at the time of his death was
81 years months and twenty-five
days of age. He was an. old settler
of Keokuk, having resided here near
ly 80 years. He was the first man to
start q furniture factory here, and
some of our leading furniture men
served their apprenticeship under
him. He was also extensively en-
gagged in the carpenter line about 20
years ago, but was burned ont. He
worked for many years in the X. & d.
M. car shops, and was noted for his
cheerful disposition, kind heart, and
unvarying good humor. He leaves
a wife, three sons and . daughter.
The family Of Kanp have cOnsen-
ted to have his body taken to the med
ical college to have post mortem
held there in the presence of the class.
The post mortem will be held at ten
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
