A Richmond Man Under Cloud.


RICHMOND March 28.-The local political diff
ferences which have held the attention of the
people of Richmond for several days past, to the
exclusion of all other matters, were put into
obscurity this morning by report
that Thomas Hunt had absconded
Mr.. Hunt was an old citizen and widely
trusted business man of the county and a
member of the county board of com
missioner. That he had fed the town
was not report to be easily cred
tied. 1t is however, certainly true. Last Satur.
day he left for ST. Louis, avowedly for the pur-
pose of closing up real estate trade that he
had on hand, and he took with him to help him
In the business lawyer of this city,
Mr.. Joseph H. Kibbey. Early in the
week Mr. Kibbey returned the real
estate negotiations having come to no
conclusion and there being no use for his serv-
ices. Hunt staid behind, under pretense of
carrying the negotiations on a little longer. On
Tuesday dispatch came from Eureka Springs
Ark, to John B. Dongan, cashier of the Second
National Bank, asking information regarding
the financial standing of Thomas Hunt, of Rich
mond who had that day presented to one of the
banks there for payment a New York draft for
81, 800. Mr. Dongan has personal interest in
Hunt being ON a bond given by Hunt as admin
For several months back the persons interested in
this estate have been solicitous for its final set
Element, and have been urging Mr.. Hunt to
render his final statement of account Being
well aware of this fact and having personal
interest in it, described, Mr.. Dongan was quick
to take alarm at the dispatch from Eureka
Springs. Immediately on receiving it he tele-
graphed to St Louis and learned from there
that Hunt had departed southwark almost as
soon as Mr.. Kibby had turned homeward. This
news strengthened Mr.. Dongan's suspicious,
and to-day a letter came to town
which confirmed them. This letter is
written from Alton, ILL.,, not to Mr.. Dongan, but
to another acquaintance of Hunts here, and
says that he will never return.
The cause of Mr.. Hunts departure is financial
difficulties. He owns fouring-mill at the north
west corner of the town, but it is mort
gagged for all it is worth He
owns also an interest in an oil-mill, but it. too.
is mortgaged to its full value. This is all he
leaves behind him. He takes with him, how
ever. something more substantial A month or
so ago he sold a farm for $4,000 1t is thought
that about $4,000 was used in pay
ing debts The balance Mr. Hunt
900 belonging to the Bull estate. Besides Don
gan, Mr.. Hunts sureties to the Bull heirs are
his brotherin-law, Luther Mering, member of
the last Legislature, John Eggemeyer, and w.
M. Thompson, ex-treasurer of the county.
1t is charitably urged by some of his friends
that Mr.. Hunts mind has been i'm
paired by a long struggle with fnan-
sixty years old, and until now his
integrity has never been called in question in
the slightest degree. He is just closing term
of service as county commissioner in every way
so satisfactory that he seeking reelection
with certainty or success.

business man here for twenty years. He was
the founder and president Of the Citizens Bank,
having sold out his interest in this bank in the
latter part of 1882, and opened the Commercial

One thing to graduate ourselves upon is that
all the losses with few exceptions, are divided
among farmers and business men who will in
no way be embarrassed ss.ls
