A LAWYER SENT TO JAIL.
A Successful Borrower Finally
brought Up with n Round Turn.


BosToN, Oct. S.-Marcus p. Norton, at
one time prosperous lawyer in Troy,
N. Y, and who has become widely known
through the suits brought by him against
several New England cities for alleged
infringement of tho Knibbs patent valve,
WAS arrested hero yesterday, charged with
attempting to defraud tho United States
hotel out Of board bill. In court his
case was continued to Oct. 8, and in de-
fault of 5000 bonds he was committed.
Investigation brings to light the fact that
Norton is largely indebted to many bust
ness men In this city, much of which in
debtednoss is for borrowed money. Ills
Indebtedness will, it is thought, reach at
least 100000
Norton has house on Bowdoin street
stocked with elegant furniture aud q
valuable library. This property, how
ever, is heavily mortgaged. Tho furni-
turo was purchased of tho +. Di. Holmes
Furniture company, Norton giving in
payment therefore check for $1,000,
which had come into Norton's hands
through some western mining spocula-
tons. Norton received $1,000 In cash
from Mr.. Holmes, and the note proved
worthless, going to protest soon aftcrward.
A prominent deacon of the fremont
Temple society 10 said TO be q creditor for
$4,000. and School street business man
for 200 more. 1t is not known whether

TRUE STORY OF A BOTTLE.
Frank Hardin Relates His Terrible
EHperiemce.

About tho end of July Mr.. A. Haight,
of Columbus Neb., picked up bottle in
his pasture, ON the banks Of tho Plato
river, near tho town, which contained a
motto written by Frank Hardin. 1t was
dated at the head of the north fork of the
Platte, May "a, aud must have travelled
about 500 miles.
Hardin stated that with five compan-
ions, who had como out with him from
Fort Laramie buffalo hunting, no was
slowly starving to death, aud never ex-
pected to reach civilization again. Their
horses had stampeded and carried oil
their provisions, and with death staring
him in the face Hardin sent tho bottle
adrift in the hope that tho sad message
it contained might reach his relatives at
Raritan, Ill.
Tho news was published at the time and
the opinion was general among plainsmcn
that Hardin and his friends were all dead
before the report was printed. Adyices
from Grand Island, Neb., state that Hardin
had reached there alive and we'll. He
says that on May 20, the day after putting
the bottle in the river, and when they
were suffering the last torments of hum
ger, lone buffalo strayed their way.
Hardin managed to crawl within shoot
ing distance and killed it, and with good
meal in their stomachs tho party took
fresh courage. After resting and feeding
lightly for n few days they set out for
Fort Laramie, making tho march by easy
stages, and on reaching the post were
furnished with means OF getting to their
homes at Grand Island.
