A burglar entered the house of John
Webber, in Lacrosse, Wis, on Wednes-
day night, through a window in room
occupied by his two daughters, Kate and
Lena. The girls were awakened while
the robber was searching their clothing,
and Lena, the younger sister, aged 10,
attempted to escape. She stumbled and
fell, and before she could arise she was
seized by the burglar, who plunged a
knife into her cody. The knife was
pulled upward and deep cash, about
nine inches long, was cut, leaving ex-
posed the heart, lungs and intestines.
The assassin then went to the bed and
made thrust OF the other girl, who man
aged, however, to evade the knife. The
family were aronsed by the noise, but the
burglar escaped from the house.

Suit was begun in the supreme court a
Indianapolis on Saturday by the directors
of the First National Bank Of that city
against D. Lynch and John X. MoOutoh
con, president and cashier, respectively
charging that they have been guilty Of
violating the National Banking law il
reference to loans, and that the bank los
$500, 600 through this Illegal use of iii
funds. The law provides that bank
shall not loan more than 10 PEI
cent Of their capital stock to any ON
firm or individual, and, as the bank
stock was $4,000 600, the limit in this cas-,
was $4,000. The complaint alleges tina
Brown & Boyd,grai dealers, were loaned
1874 900, the Western Elevator Oompsn!
$4,000, and another firm $4,000 il
excess of the legal amount. In order t
conceal these loans the cashier and presi
dent, it is charged, kept the books it
such manner as to deceive the directors
and finally accepted paper which they
knew to be fictitious and OF no CONNER
cial value. These drafts were never pAiC
and through them the bank lost nearly
$500, 600, and demand is made for thi
sum. Mcoutcheon and Lynch are prom
tnent citizens.
