his financial embarrassment and Door
health, and that he had suffered the loss
OF almost his entire fortune during the
war. He also told Mr.. Steele that he
was unable to pay off the mortgage
upon the property in West st. Paul, and
that the taxes accruing for the past few
years were as yet unpaid. The property
was worth, it is alleged. many times the
lncumbrance, and Mr.. Dawson so stated
to the defendant. In view of Mr.. Daw-
sons failing health and inability to care
for the property, it is charged in the
complaint that Mr.. Steele fraudulentIy
represented his superior position and
circumstances to take care and develop
the property, and urged Mr.. Dawson to
vest him with the right. Being a SON.
ln-law, and enjoying the implicit conf
dence of the deceased, he induced Mr..
Dawson and wife on April "a. 1872,
to execute to him (Steele) a
warranty deed for the nominal
consideration of $500, the amount of the
mortgage. The agreement which led to
this action was that Mr.. Steele should
care for the land, sell just enough of 1T
to pay Off the incumbrance and pay the
taxes from year to year thereafter until
otherwise Instructed by Dawson or his
executors. The complaint states that
-hi' OtOClO dSIttu W Gllt dUONo, anu Vic
confidence and trust repoSed in him
should on his part be carried out to the
entire satisfaction of his invalid rela-
tive. Sept. %, 1872, Steele decided to j.
ii. Warner lots 9, 10, IL, IL, Is, 16, II, IS,
81 and 80 for $1,000, the sale being large
ly in excess of any necessity to pay
off the property debts. Nov. 80, 1872,
he also sold lots 81. %, %, "a
and 26, for 1000; Nov. II, 1876, be sold
%. q, Is, 90, for $3.50. and in April 1881,
sold lot 20, for $50, all of which was sold
for below the market value and in direct
contradiction to the terms of his agree
ment with the deceased, to whom he, all
the while, represented he was holding
the land. Now come the heirs through
the administrator to enforce the old con-
tract, and compel the defendant to carry
out his trust. They say the property is
worth at least 10000, that Steele never
expended more than 800. in the same :;
that neither Dawson or his heirs had
acknowledge that the property had been
sold, and only learned of it within the
past year. They ask the court to direct
an accounting and a judgment for the
property OF its equivalent on basis of
its present value.

sTEELE's STEWARDSHIP. j
Heirs of the Late Henry s. Daw-
son Demand an Accounting.

A case was filed in the district court
yesterday which. if the plaintiffs are
successful, will make the Weighty blan-
ket of long green under which the heir
of the Steele estate can defy the wolf
for many years to come much lighter,
and possibly assume the texture of mid
summer counterpart. 1t is that of the
ST. Paul Trust company. as admins
traitor of the estate of Henry
S. Dawson, deceased. against Charles
S Steele. The complaint sets up that
Mr.. Dawson died in Bay of ST. Louis,
Miss, in 1876, and left surviving three
daughters and one son, Mrs. Francis
Steele, wife of Charles S. Steele, the
defendant; Mrs. Jennie Lane, died in
1885, Alice M. Dawson, Henry S. Daw
son, Mrs. c. E. Clemens and Mrs.
Frances Dawson, his widow. April IL,
1872, the deceased owned lots 9 to 80, of
Dawson's out lots to West st. Paul, COW
cred by a mortgage of $500 given to T.
e. Browning. The deceased resided in
Louisiana, and the defendant, his SON
in-law, resided in st. Paul. About this
time Mr.. Dawson, who was extremely rich
before the war, mentioned to Mr.. Steele

Cleared the Calendar.

An illustration of the necessity for
the two new judges recently appointed,
and who are now engaged in trying
cases that have worn the calendar for
year or more, is afforded by the fact
that Judge Villas, through dint of hard
work and ready decision, has disposed
of every case upon the present calendar
to date, has decided great grist of old
cases and brought the work abreast of
the demanded the litigants. There were
over $50 court cases undecided when the
new judges were appointed, and to-day
the work is up and judge, jury and law
yers breathe easier.

Judge Cory Gives a Job Lot of

IOuSnS Terms at the Works.
Judge Cory was on the bench in the
municipal court yesterday, and the few
cases that came up were speedily dis
posed of. The crime of larceny was not
positively fixed upon Thomas Walsh,
a worthless vagrant who was found
with pair of lady's shoes, but he was
given thlrIy-day sentence OH general
principles. Mrs. Lottie Beier was con-
victed of stealing $50 worth of clothing
from the yard of neighber, Mrs. Dow,
who resides on University avenue, went
out for thirty days. John McGoven
stole a clock from Seventh street store,
and will live at the Como resort for
thirty days. The irrepressible "Bob"
Diamond paid S25 more into the city
treasury for Shaping the face of Milton
Rappley, who testified in court against
the character of Diamonds University
avenue road house. May Wood paid a
penalty of S25 for drunkenness and
street walking. The court postponed
action until to-day in the case against
Nellie Stone, who is accused by Mrs.
M. COwie of abandoning her children.
John Hunt, vag, went out for thirty
days, and Fred Hoyt, for dru nkenness,
was given ten days.

If this be true Mr.. Bates will win fame,

AMICABLY ADJUSTED.

Insurance Companies Will Cash
the Policies on the Burned
Grand Opera House.
Samuel S. Eaton, insurance agent,
was seen by a GLOBE reporter yester-
day relative to the report that the ill.,
surance companies would rebuild the
Grand Opera house, finding it cheaper
to do so than to pay the claims of the
owners. Mr.. Eaton said that all differ
ences had been adjusted without trouble,
land that the insurance companies were
ready to pay the policies at once. They
will not further consider the question
of rebuilding. but will simply cash the
claims of the Davidson estate, in accord
ance with the arrangements arrived at
between the ,adjuSters and the owners
of the opera house. Now that this mat
ter is amicably fixed it may be expected
that the building of new houses will
start right away.

Informer Fullgrafs Memory Is
Exceedingly Defective.

Ludolf A. Fullgraf. ex-alderman of
New York city. and now prominently
connected with st. Paul manufactur-
ing concern, has been on the witness
stand in New York during the past few
days in connection with the Broadway
bribery cases. To protect himself he
turned states evidence, and agreed to
betray his companions in crime. But
when placed on the witness stand his
memory was very defective. When ex-
amined by Col. Bob Ingersoll FulIgraf
testified that his memory was SO poor
that he could not recollect what had
happened twenty-four hours previously.
He also declared that much of his testi-
mony dating back to 1884 would be sur
mise rather than memory of facts.
This was the condition of Mr.. Fullgraf's
mind when he first came to st. Paul.
He had no recollection of the Doodle
cases whatever.
