CHARLIE JoRDAN's LOSS.
He Is Out $3.50 by His Transactions witt
DefauIter Mckee.


DefauIter Mckee.
James Mckee. the defaulting under
taker, who year ago cut a dash at the
monied men, was prominent character
in a suit before Vice Chancellor Pitney
today. When the dashing jim ran short
Of cash in the height of his shortened
public career and he found that his h6arse
could not supply him, he sought other
sources.
One of them was Charlie Jordan. No
man with half re putation ever went to
Charlie Jordan and came away empty
handed.
When Mckee sought Mr.. Jordan he
told him that he wanted to borrow $500.
Mr.. Jordan replied that he could have it
il fair surety was offered. Mckee said
that would be all right, and he went to
the law office of "Doc" McCrea.
The lawyer drew up a full covenant
warrantee deed, and took it to the house
of Rosana Mckee on Twelfth street. he
simply explained that the deed was a
document to secure loan to Jim Nc
Kee and the illiterate mother, not know
ing the nature of the deed, signed IL to
enable her scalawag son to raise the
money which she was assured was to be
used in his business.
Some months later Mr. Jordan informed
Mrs. Mckee that in addition to the $500
that her son had borrowed, he had con-
tracted liquor and cigar bill for $3.50
mere, and that this bill would have to be
paid The old mother when she received
this notice concluded that It was time to
consult lawyer, and she called on Coun-
sellor DENIM. He heard her statement,
and at once began snit to have the war
rantee deed obtained by McCrea from the
widow annulled. Vice Chancellor Pitney
heard the testimony, and today rendered
final decree that the deed should be de-
clared null and void, having been OBJ
tanned by fraud. The only loser in this
transaction is Charles Jordan, who was
imposed on by Mckee.

Rock Island, Ill, March 31.-Editor
ARGUS: Kindly allow US space in your
valuable paper TO correct an impression
which might be produced by an associs-
ted press article in your issue of Both
inst, entitled "a Mining Company in
Politics" and which reads as follows:
Zone of the boldest political schemes of
national character ever planned in
Colorado has come TO light. The King
Solomon Mining Co., of Creole, has sent
agents to eastern cities to create free
silver sentiment bt fore the conventions
meet at Minneapolis and Chicago" Be-
ing the sole representatives of the King
Solomon Mining and Milling Co. in the
east. we desire to say that there
is no political significance whatever
associated with our forts in the interests
of the company We represent them on
purely business basis, our efforts being
confined to the placing of limited
amount of the treasury stock. The per-
sonnet of the directory includes such men
as Senator William Colder Surveyor
General E. G. Humphrey, S. K. Hooper,
George w. Robinson, etc and while they
are among the most prominent and be ST
known business men in Colorado, they
are in no way DESTROYS of using The
King Solomon Mining and Milling Com
pany as political leverage. Respects

This evening at Hsrper's theatre the
worlds champion. John l.. Suli van,
will make his initial bow to Rock Isl.
and audience as an actor. together with
the fa7erite actor, Duncan B. Harrison.
An exchange says of them:
John L. Sullivan, the champion pupi-
list, made his first appearance in this city
as legitimate actor at the Peoples thea
tire last night in Duncan B. Harrison's
sensational drama called Honest Hearts
and Willing Hands," and taking into
consideration the limited time he had to
prepare himself for his new departure, he
acquitted himself most creditably. He
was at disadvantage for the reason that
the audience had come only to see Sulli~
van, and whatever he did, no matter
how trivial. was the signal for ap-
plause from the house, which was
frequently ill>timed and likely to
be embarrassing. His part, that of
young Irish blacksmith, suits him to q
dot, and as the author wisely furnished
him with no long and tedious speeches,
there is no tax made upon his declamatory
abilities. But he delivered the lines that
belong TO the part with an ease and nat
uralness that were surprising, and if he
were to be judged simply upon his per
Torrance last night, without any refer
ence to his skill and fame as a pugilist,
the verdict would be favorable one.
The play itself is novel. and the plot
and counterplot strong and interesting
Mr.. Harrison has certainly gained an
other laurel by his clever construction
and fine, manly acting. The company is
away above the average. and the scenery
is among the finest ever used in this city.
The great Modjeska is to appear at the
Burtis, at Davenport, tomorrow evening.
and many Rock Island people who adj
mire this famous exponent of the highest
art of the stage, will attend.
There is no denying the popularity of
The Country Fair" nor its quaintness,
nor realism. 1t has jumped into instant
favor wherever presented, ard theatres
are everywhere tested to their capacity.
That its Metropolitan fame has reached
here is best evidenced by the large seat
sale in progress at Harper's theatre Mon
day evening, and play-goers who love
choice places are warned accordingly.
The play is a straight, lsughable and pure
comedy, embellished with beautiful seer
cry and presenting number OF novel
| effects, including real horse race which
is the greatest and most legitimate bit of
| realism ever put in play.
