scale this summer. There may never be
another 9th of July hereasouts, with
Pinkerton men and exchanges of shots,

H. H. BANCROFI,s LIBRARY.

Said to Have Been Sold to the UNI
versity of Chicago for $4,000.
WASHINGTON, May Sit is understood
by persons here who have been keeping
watch of the matter that the valuable IL
brsry of manuscripts and other historical
antiquities collected by Hubert d. Ban
croft in preparing his Pacific coast histo-
ries has been sold to the University of Chi
csgo for $4,000 It will bs remem bered
that the same collection was offered to con-
gress for $500, 900, but that bill for their
purchase never got through. One reason
why it stuck fast here was suspicion
in the minds of several members by re,
port from California that Mr.. Bancroft had
offered his collection to that state for halt
the price he set on it in his offer to the
United States. But for this it is possible
that some sum like $780, 900 might have
been authorized by congress as counter
offer, as 1t seemed unfortunate to let &c
valuable prize escape the library of con.
gress. It is hoped here that tbs lesson Of
this incident will teach other persons who
have really valuable things to sell to the
government of the United States not to se
the asking price at more than six time

sTUPENDoUs PENSION FRAUDS.

/ - @sAsSAO@N A@-~ - A>S'
| Two Persons Have Been Arrested and
| the Government Intends TO Show
| That the Frauds Have Been Going
On for Years.
MINsEAPoLIs, May 31.-The Journal
prints a sensational article on the unearth-
ing of stupendous pension frauds in north
ern Iowa and southern Minnesota. The
investigation has been carried on by
Special Pension Examiner Waite.
George N. Van Leuven, jr., pension
attorney, who has been In the business
since 1866 at Lime Springs, Iowa, and who
has secured pensions for persons In the
territory mentioned sggregating, 1t is said,
over a million dollars, and George Kessel,
mayor of Citco, Iowa, were arrested on
warrants sworn out to-day. Van Lsuven
and his son and other adherents controlled
the news correspondents In the two towns,
so they were able to prevent any secount
of the affair from being made public.
Waite and Van Leuven had almost q per-
sonal encounter In the latter's Office when
the examiner got hold of certain important
files by force. Van Leuven declares that
the official exceeded his power and threatens
to institute suit on this ground.
The particular case on which the arraign-
ment was made was that of James Church
Ill of Minneapolis. 1t is charged that the
names of witnesses on his papers are forg-
ed. Van Leuven claims that the applicant
and not he was responsible. 1t is also al
legged that Van Leuven gave pension ap-
plicant letter to DR.. Kessel saying that
the bearer was seeking pension and AK
ing the doctor to do what he could for
him.
It is understood that the government is
prepared to show that similar frauds have
been perpetrated on big scale for years.
