CHICAGO, Feb MA Yankton, d. r., special says
of the Douglass County frauds: Early last June,
after the fraudulent organization OF the county
was discovered, a writ Of prohibition was served
upon the Douglass County officials and It was to
take effect on July |. Making the most of their
opportunity the officials issued large number Of
warrants during the last of June. II. Stlwell sent
five warrants for the aggregate sum OF 5000 to W.
N Coler & Co., of New York. on the last day of
October few days after sending the 5000 batch
to the Merchants National Bank of st. Paul.
These warrants purport TO be issued OH June %,
and were numbered from $50 to i5i. II is known
that many of the warrants put upon the market
by this ring were for large sums, and IL the re-
naming fi9 average as high as these FIVE this at
tempted fraud reaches gigantic proportions.
More than this. some of the warrants that have
been floated are printed in black ink and some in
green ink, and rs there arc usually one thousand
of these blanks IN book 1t is probable that more
than one thousand were issued. With this
5000 lot Stillwcll sent a sworn statement
of the officials of Douglass County In regard to the
condition OF the county. They certified that the
Indebtedness Of the county was 81 96l the assessed
valuation at Si76,iO0, and the number OF fnsab1.
tants, 175. But the population at this time less
than 800 and the settlers are never overloaded
with wealth. The extent of the frauds seems "a
become greater and the evidence OF a conspiracy
by all parties concerned grows stronger"
