for water works October 8, 1881, but the city
counsel never authorized the issue Of the
bonds. All the dispatches from Adrian to
parties In New York giving legal opinions on
the bonds and endorsements, etc, are forgerles.
Judge Howell and Mr.. Underwood never gave
any such opinions at all. The city council met
friday morning and resolved that the city
recorder should notify the public that no
water bonds have been issued, and also en-
ployed legal counsel to assist the city attorney
to defend all claims against the city. The best
legal opinions are now expressed that the city
cannot be holden for the bonds. Sevsnty-fve
thousand dollars worth OF the forged bonds
were regularly signed by the city recorder,
who stupidity obeyed the orders OF Mayor Ma
vim in doing 80. The signatures on the remain
ing $4,000 are forgeries. City Recorder Stanton
facss the music all right and nobody believes
that he did anything but to commit a
blunder. II Is not known how much actual
cash Navin has In his possession. Heleft Fri
day night, taking the Wabash cars at Sand
Greek. A dispatch from New York to the
Adrian Times says: The whole of the money
for those bogus bonds Is still in the hands Of
the Union Trust company, all safe, and that no
one will be the loser.
Recorder Stanton has told various stories
and at first denied issuing or signing any
bonds. Alderman Stearns Friday morning
asked him point blank IL no had ever signed
water bonds, and after much hesitation he re-
piled that no had not sgne1 them as he knew
Of. He is now under arrest.
Tho first intimation that there were bonds
was received Monday In telegram from the
Connecticut Insurance Company, of Hartford,
asking il they were regular and good at $l 10
Agent w. b. Thompson, cashier OF Smith az
Toby's bank, replied that no bonds had been is-
sued.
Then inquiries were made at New York,
and the validity being questioned, they tele-
Qraphed NavlD, who promptly answered that
they were all o. K, and he got Smith d Toby,
bankers, and Herman LOOMS, OF tho Adrian
Savings Bank, to telegraph signing message
he had written saying that the people had
voted to raise $15O,000 to build water works.
a stormy session OF tho council was held
this morning, at which Capt. G. X. Miller, Re-
corder Stantons council, denounced the Navin
Aldermen as being legally implicated with
Navin.
Excitement at Adrian over the attempt to
dispose Of the bogus water bonds OF that city
does not abate. Complaints were entered yes
tsrday against Mayor Navin and Ralph j..
Jewell, the charge being conspiracy to defraud.
Jewell was arrested and being unable to secure
bail was put In charge Of an officer over Sun
day. Jewell was formerly c ty treasurer. His
place of BUSINESS Is closed and 1t is reported
that he has made an assignment to his wife.
Money was obtained by Navin at Smith IL
Tobey's bank just before he left, an acquaiht-
ance also states that he saw In Navin's posses
sion twenty one $1,000 bills. Navin probably
has plenty of money but just how much is not
known.

for lined there is no inquiry at any price.
