Lilo Insurance Agent Disappears, Leay
ing Many Mourners for Cash.

waiter Is. Stevens, @ middle-aged man of
respectable appearance, who came TO Seattle last
March az travelling agent for the United States
Accident insurance Company, has disappeared,
leaving behind many creditors. and Is also said
to have passed several spurious checks upon
business men with whom he had dealings. With
lew exceptions the persons for whom he wrote
lie insurance have not received tho policies,
though they have paid the premiums.
W hen Stevens arrived in the city he hunted
up Daniel Shaw, OF Shaw d Raomer and George
A. Davis both OF whom knew him in the East.
AT one time he was mayor of Georgetown, Col
orado, and was twice elected police judge of
that town He spent good deal of his spare
time at Mr.. Davis bookstore, on Third street,
ana put up at the Snoqualme hotel He always
dressed well and, being good taiker, generally
made good impression and seldom let man
go without gaining his permission to write him
policy.
On May Mr.. Davis cashed check for IS on
the First National bank for him, and the same
evening Mr.. Shaw did the same with check for
Ike amount. Neither gentleman has seen
him since. Just alter leaving Mr.. Shaws he
met an acquaintance and borrowed sl5. The
next day, Tuesday, he is supposed to have
quietly left town, for since that time no one has
him. He leaves his account at the sno-
Quaiire hotel SIS in arrears The First National
bank has refused to cash several checks for
small amounts which Stevens passed on other
citizens. 1t was the agents policy, when man
for whom he had written policy gave him gold
in payment OF the premium, to give u worthless
check for the chan, %
The police have no clue to his whereabouts,
but 1t is believed that he ID now in British

at the point OF death. Britton is member OF
the firm OF Lawrence & Britton, who own a
hotel at Dunlap. in snohomish county, and was
shot on Wednesday night by saoonkeeper
nomed Campbell, with whom he had q row.
The wounded man is so weak from pain and
loss OF blood that ho cannot talk. The partic.
ulars OF the affair are given in the following
special dispatch received from Sultan City last
evening:
The town was thrown into considerable ex-
element about 8 o'clock this evening by row
terminating in the shooting of George Britton,
OF the firm If Lawrence d Britton. proprietors
OF the hotel AZ Duugap, about niue mile, above
sultan City. Lawrence and Britton, consider
ably under the influence Of liquor, walked into
the sultan hotel ba:room, ana after exchanging

etors, were ordered out. They showed no DIS
positian TO leave, and after more words sGuiiie
ensued, in which Britton threw spittoon,

formed by three men named Bull, Preston and
Bryant, and they secured a franchise. They
secured thousands OF dollars in subscriptions to
stock from merchants by giving away with the
certificates an equal sum in coupons, which

Suit to Compel County to Abandon
Ground Uae1 IA n Road

s. L. Bowman, who was arrested on Thursday
for obsructing public highway known as the
wilson county road. was fined 81 and costs yes
terday afternoon by Justice Won Tobel. Charles
Hickman and Fowler Falt, his two assistants
WHO were arrested at the same time, had the
sane penalty imposed on them.
Bowman assumed the offensive in the dispute
BY bringing suit yesterday In the superior court
tocompel the county to stop interfering with
him in the uses to which he has put the ground
covered by the road. His complaint alleges
that he has been the owner OF the land for years
and that the county, through its agents, has
tresspsssed on IL by building q 60-foot road
across the south end of his property for a dis
lance OF eighty-two rods. The county claims the
right TO do this because a county road was cs-
tabished there, but the plaintiff claims that the
proceedings Of the county commissioners were
irregular and that the law under which they
were had was unconstitutional No further
steps were taken in the matter until August,
1891, when the county began the construction OF
the road
1t is fu;ther alleged that the plaintiff at
various tm3s asked the county's agents to de-
Est from the work, but they kept ahead. lie

samuel N. Bell Makes Strange Admits
sions I'm His Divorce Case.

The divorce case OF Samuel n. Bell against A.
Nary Bell, which was heard yesterday by Judge
Lchtenberg, presented some rather remarkable
features. The suit was not contested, and all OF
the evidence offered was for the plaintiff He
told al apparently straight story OF HIS troubles
with his wife, and said some things that
counted against him. He was formerly q we'll
todc contractor in Omaha, where he lived with
his vile and four children. For years she had
made life a burden to him by her bad temper,
Manifested by swearing at aud beating him.
some months age by agreement she left him and
went back to Omaha, where she has the income
from $4,000 worth of property, which Bell
deeded 20 his children.
Bell denied emphatically on the stand a story
printed in All evening paper that he had en-.
hced girl named Maggie Dermody away from
home. She was q friend, but there had been
nothing improper between them. lie admitted
that there WIS Il conditional understanding be.
tween them that they should be married if he
got divorce. Judge Lichtenberg took the mat
Ter under advisomant.
