He Covered His Door-Yard with Greenbacks.

On Cry, July 31.-Jonathan Steele, a
wealthy oil operator died last night at his resi-
dence in this city. Many sensational stories
have been told about Steele boarding his money
and the attempts to steal it. Ashe was distrust-
full of banks he placed $75, 900 in greenbacks in
tin box and kept the box under his bed.
Several masked burglars entered the room and
attempted to steal it. but he succeeded in
driving them off by his physical superiority. On
another occasion, finding that the notes were
becoming moldy he spread them on the grass
in his yard to dry, and while watching them
puff of wind came along and filed the air with
greenbacks. It WAS with difficulty that he
gathered them together again 1t took several
days to dry them all, and he and his family
stood guard over them while the neighbors and
people from distance came to see fortune spread
over the grass. After this he invested all his
money in government bonds, except Sc, 900.
which he placed in the Fairview Bank, which
soon afterward collapsed. He leaves about

THE TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
No More Infected Animals at Chicago
Statement from Dealers and Shippers.

CHICAGO, July 31.-No more diseased cattle
have arrived. At the stookyards, to-day, there
was rumor which could be traced to no relia-
BILE source, that the infected herd originally CON
tanned 10, 900 head, and that it was the intention
to ship to market as fast as ears could be secured
It was learned, during the day. that agents Of tho
Texas Pacific in Missouri were refusing to re-
ceive cattle for shipment to Chicago and st.
Louis Il. d. Hoxie, of the Wabash road, was
photographed concerning the matter and he re-
piled that this action was the result of misun-
derstanding Of orders, and that it had been rem
edied. The Live Stock Exchange met this
AFTERNOON. and appointed committee to prepare
TOT puollcatlon statement of facts for the
Denent OF shippers. Its report has not yet been
made, but the committee gave the following
points to representatives of the press:
Inc conslgnments already received are the
only cattle brought to these yards; these cattle
mad preponderance of native blood, and were
what are known as tthree-fourths or high blood
Colorados.o They were taken from the Pan
handle of Texas, near Fort Reno into the In
trail of the Texas cattle on the way had they been
kept on good food and water the disease would
not have developed in them; other cattle can not
become infected from contact with them; the in
fected cattle at Manhattan were sold from the
same herd as those brought here none of these
infected animals were bought by members of the
Stock Exchange, therefore there is no danger of

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BooNvILLE July 31.-Sheriff Campbell and a
posse of men. who went to Taylorsville last night
to prevent the threatened lynching of the muir
derers of John L. Bethel, returned this morning
No mob violence was attempted, for the reason
that there is now some doubt in the minds of
the people of the guilt Of the persons first
suspected. Spradley succeeded in escaping from
the county, and is now at large It is now
suspected that Bethel was murdered not be-
cause of his having attempted to detect the mon
who were poisoning horses in the neighborhood,
but on account of his relations with the wife of
a man who had threatened to kill him upon the
frst opportunity. A vigilance committee Of one
hundred members has been organized, and
trouble may be expected when they become sat
isfed that there is no doubt of the guilt of the
persons suspected. The people living in the vi
entity are greatly terrified over the affair, and
are afraid to express any opinion about it

BRAzIL, July 3L-The statement Of the re-
eeiver of the Commercial Bank of this place
will show: Liabilities, $153 OOO assets, $123 000;
making deficit of $50, 900. To make up this
deficit Mr.. Teter, one of the partners, to-day
decided to the receiver in trust for the benefit of
The creditors 800 acres of land valued at $2S 0OO
and Mr.. Brighton decided 800 acres in the same
way. This is the way the statement on its face
presents the status Of the affairs of the bank.
But large part of the assets have been hypoth-
eeated and have thus passed out of the control
Of the receiver, unless he redeems them but
there is no money to redeem with, and no way
Sf raising it. About 1924 900 of assets have been
disposed Of in this way. Over $4,000 Of nom
inal assets consist of stock in the Brazil Block
Coal Company, several thousand dollars of
Central Iron 6 Steel Company stock, and some
thousands more consist of Investments in the
Wheeler Coal Company. Added to this about
$50 900 Of the assets Of the bank consist Of real
estate, which will not be readily realized on.
About $4,000 of old, and many of them non
collectble, notes were found in the vaults, and
$145 in money. The best judges of the affairs
of the bank are of opinion that if the receiver
manages to pay so cents on the dollar he viii do
well.
