BONDS IN LITIGATION.
Queer Transaction in Hamilton Count
Kan, RefundIng Bonds.

Queer Transaction in Hamilton County,
Kan, Refunding Bonds.
Topeka, Kan, April S.-The state
board of school fund commissioners
last month bought $4,000 worth of
Hamilton county refunding bonds,
which may or may not be good. The
bonds have been in litigation for several
years. the county having repudiated
them. The bonds fell into the hands of
George w. Crane, of Topeka, in busi-
ness way, and when he found that they
had been repudiated by Hamilton
county he placed them with 500, 900 of
similar bonds held by the Etna Insur-
ance Co., and suit was instituted in the
federal court for their collection.
A short time ago Frank Lindsay,
attorney for the Etna company, called
upon Mr. Crane and asked him what
he would take for the bonds. Mr..
Crane replied that he would take SO
cents on the dollar. with accrued inter-
est. In few days Lindsay
called again with s3,OOO stating
that he had disposed of
S., 600 worth of the bonds. Mr..
Crane took the money. aski ng no ques-
tions. Two weeks later Lindsay called
again with $1,000 more, the agreed
price of the second half of the bonds.
Mr.. Crane took the money, as before,
but the same day learned that the
bonds had been sold at par to the state
through the school fund commissioners
Mr.. Crane promptly sent the proceeds
of the sale of the second batch of bonds
to state Treasurer Biddle to be held in
trust pending the trial of the case in
the courts. The treasurer notified the
school fund board, composed of Attor-
ney General Little, Secretary of State
Osborne and Superintendent of Instruc.
tion Gaines, who called upon Mr. Crane
and learned the facts as stated. The
commissioners are now engaged in
making an investigation.
If the bonds should prove worthless
the state will lose the money, as there
is no liability, the commissioners hav-
ing made the purchase in good faith.
1t is rumored that the commissioners
recently purchased $40. 900 worth of
Kearney county bonds which are also
in litigation, but the report cannot be
verified.
