Mayor Steele, of Marion, Fails to Make

Mayor A. e. Steele, of Marion, a Defaulter
for Small Amount
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
MARION. Nov. 1S.--For some time rumor
has connected Mayor A. +. Steele with q
shortage in his accounts, but the exact con-
dition of his affairs has not been known un-
til now. Last week Assistant Attorney
general Wilson began an investigation
which disclosed a shortage of siOo due the
State. Since this condition of things was
suspected several attempts have been made
to force settlement, but only S175 was thus
secured. On election day the Mayor left for
Nebraska During his absence 8 further
investigation showed that he had squan-
dered other funds to the amount of about
5000. Most of this was due to officials
whose fees he had collected and kept.
Numerous telegrams were sent after him.
and on last Friday he returned and imme-
diately rendered his resignation. A settle
ment was again demanded, and his bonds
men provided for delinquencies so far as
then known. An auditing committee is
now engaged in a scrutiny of his relations
to the city, and though the exact deficiency
can not be learned, it is known that the
shortage amounts to little.
Steele's downfall is attributed to fast
life, with all that that implies. He has
inal lawyers in this part of the State, and
his practice was very profitable. 1t is esti-
mated that his legitimate income from the
Mayors Office was $1,000 a year. He had
been Mayor but eighteen months. He is q
member of family well known through
out the State.
He has left the city. but no one knows
his destination, nor is it known whether he
intends to return. There are numerous
applicants for the vacant position, to fill
which the Council will Immediately order

LA BLANCHE BADLY WHIPPED.

Kessler, the Montana Middle-Weight Cham
pion, Bests Him in Thirteen Rounds.
BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 16.-A large number
of 'sports" assembled at the race-track,
yesterday afternoon, to witness the fifteen
round fight between George La Blanche,
middle-weigh. champion of the world. and
George Kessler, middle-weight champion Of
Montana. Kessler had the best of the fight
in almost every round. He landed on La
Blanche's neck at the opening of the first
round. La Blanche made rush, but
Kessler evaded his blows and returned q
terrible left-hander on the Marines cheek.
La Blanche got in several hot ones on
Kessler's mouth at the close of the round.
In the second and third rounds Kessler got
the best of the blows exchanged. In the
fourth little was done. In the fifth La
Blanche followed Kessler aroun' the ring,
getting In a number of hard blows. In the
sixth La Blanche was badly used by the
Montana boy, and received severe punish
ment. In the seventh La Blanche threw
Kessler to the ground and forced the fight
Ing. but the blows were cleverly stopped.
In the eighth Kessler started with o
singing blow on La Blanche's mouth and
claimed and was allowed first blood; and
ropes and into his corner. In the tenth
Kessler was sent to the ground by a light
blow from La Blanche. and the latter was
allowed first knock-down. In the eleventh
La Blanche was as weak as a kitten, and
Kessler knocked him all over the ring To
escape punishment he clinched Kessler,
and they were not separated till time was
called. In the twelfth round little was
done. but Kessler had the best of it. In
the thirteenth round Kessler proceeded to
ftrpa ha
laid him across the ropes. After the fifth
time La Blanche deliberately kicked Kess-
ler in the pit of the stomach. The men
then clinched, and would not break. Kess-
Ter threw La Blanche through the ropes,
his head and arms landing in the mud out
side the ring. After this round the referee
awarded the fight to Kessler. The foul
was apparently done with q purpose, La
Blanche preferring to lose on a foul. He
would undoubtedly have been knocked out
in another round.

to render him almost unconscious. Several
by-standers ran to his assistance, and he
was carried to his rooms in the When Block.

the necessary medical attention. No bones
were broken, nor was his head cut. 1t was
a bad knock. however. as q large lump on

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Ind, Nov. 1S-This morning,
about o'clock. fire broke out from the de-
fective chimney in the office of II. NJ. Rom
bergs livery stable. The night watch was
asleep, and did not awaken until the roof
over him was about to fall in. Before the
citys fire companies were called the fire
was under such headway that it could not
be stopped. The barn and its entire con-
tents were consumed, except the horses.
The grain elevator and warehouse. just
south of the barn, and owned by Jesse
Niblick q Son, was also burned,
as was also the blacksmith and
wagon-shop, just north, owned by Ross
& Elzey. But for the weeks rains which
have prevaile here the whole square of
wooden buildings, including the Burt Ho-
tel, would have been burned; and it was
difficult to save them as 1t was. The total
loss by fire and the damage by water will
probably not exceed $4,000 Romberg, the
Hveryman, estimates his loss at Sc, 600, but
is insured in the Citizens Insurance Com
panv of Evansville for 81, ,O00 and in the
Germania of New York for 81, ,750 Niblick
& Son place their loss az $500, but have
an insurance of $500, equally divided be-
tween the Michigan Insurance Company of
Detroit and the German of Pittsburg Ross
& ElZey, blacksmiths, lose about $500, and
the owner of the building, James Weaver,
loses perhaps 81 900; no insurance.

that rebate was not intended to be allowed.
The report signed by Mr.. Sherman and the

Brothers late yesterday evening. came to
this city and made an affidavit charging
Isaac Jones. g. young farmer, who resides
some six miles west of this city. with the
theft. Marshal Hogarty searched Jones's
residence securing the kind of gold
coin, FIVE and ten-dollar piece,

Jones, bringing him to this city, and
at the time fixed for trial this afternoon
William Kol.meyer walked into the court
room and produced the McAlDin pocket
book, containing the amount and kind of
money that had been lost. The popularity
in the entire transaction is that the minute
description of the money given by McAlpin
should have fitted Joness coin. Jones was
released. and Is greatly broken down on ac-
count of his arrest, as he has always borne
good reputation. KOllmeyer, who was in
the room when the money was missed by
the owner, claims that ne found the money
on the sidewalk in front of the store from
where it was thought to have been stolen,
and returned it to the Mayor to be given to
the owner.
