More Fraudulent Township War;

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 49, There Is
considerable excitement here over a
report that there is large amount Of
township paper in circulation bearing
the signature of Trustee Kitz, Of this
city. It is claimed that $500 Of them
were among the assets of a bank at
North Vernon, which failed last week.
Mr.. Kitz has filed an affidavit for pub
lication saying that they are fcrgeries,
as he has never issued such. State
ments received up to late hour last
night indicate that no less than $685.
900 worth of the warrants are in cir
culation
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 19--The latest
development iE the township warrant
swindle comes from Morgan county.
Jacob A. Shipley, trustee Of Gregg
township, in that county. was placed
under arrest at an early hour this
morning, under an indictment BY the
grand jury, charging him with issuing
fraudulent warrants to the amount Of
$5,536. Shipley was held in $4,000
bond, which he was unable to furnish
and be was sent to Jail. These war
rants were issued to r. B. POLAND,
for school supplies, but as a matter Of
fact no supplies whatever were fur
nished. The arrest of Shipley is due
to the exertions Of Walter Stanton, Of
