BACK PRECINCTS TO REPORT YET
But So Far an Arkansas Dance Has Re-
suited in Five Dead Men.


Fort SMITH, Ark, Sept. 2S.-Particulars
of u Sequoya tragedy OF last week are still
coming in. The dance at which the killing
took place occurred about fifteen miles
from that city. the dance broke up ill IA
row, and the next morning three men-
Harris, Falconer and Benge-were found
dead outside the house Since then the
body of whisky peddler named Moss
was discovered underneath the house.
The remains Of another man, named
Wilson, was found later. 1t Is thoug hit
that both he and the peddler were killed
to prevent their telling anything about
the fight.
One man, badly wounded, has turned
up at n house about n mile from the
scene Of the tragedy. 1t is now thought
that others are wounded and that their
friends are keeping them hidden. 1t is
evident that there was n conspiracy to kill
Benge, Talconer and Harris, all of wnom
were good shots and dangerous men. The
sheriff refuses to go to the place. A depu'
ty sheriff went up, bu. retui ned without
making auy arrests.

IN THE COURTS HANDS
COMMERCIAL CLUB ENGAGEMENT
CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Receiver Hawkins, of the Haughey
Bank, Sues to FOrecIOse Cabinet
Company's Mortgage.

The argument upon the demurrer to the
complaint in the Commercial Club suit was
concluded in the Circuit Court yesterday
and Judge Rupe took the case under adj
visement. City Attorney Scott, in his clos
ing argument yesterday morning, said the
appropriation made to be used the
needs of the committee required, and
under the wording of the ordinance if there
was no need" there was no authority on
the part of the encampment committee to
use any portion of the funds. Under this
construction he claimed the committee had
no right to use any of the appropriation
until all Of the subscription fund had been
exhausted. He said the appropriation was
intended a supplemental fund, and it
was no excuse that both of the funds were
under the control of Mr.. Lilly and that
he exhausted the subscription fund first.
He said the committee was charged with
the execution of the trust and distribution
of the funds, but instead of doing so it
delegated the trust to Mr.. Lilly and turned
the money over TO him upon his requisition.
This. Mr.. Scott claimed, made them liable
in equity to an accounting. He said the
form of the requisiton used was not a con-
tract between Mr.. Lilly and the city, but
a contract between the city and trustees.
He also argued that IL was immaterial
to the case whether Colonel Lilly acted as
an officer of the club or as chairman of
the committee he was equally chargeable
with the trust. He also said the trust was
impressed upon the fund whether ii was
in the hands of Mr.. Gall with the Com
mercial Club, and it was the duty of who
ever had charge of the trust TO administer
it as the court would administer it at the
present time were II in court.

gage to Bank BE FOrecIOsed.
The suit to foreclose the mortgage of the
Indianapolis Cabinet Company to the In
dianapois National Bank was filed in the
Circuit Court yesterday morning by John
w. Kern, W. A. Ketcham and Charles
Martindale, attorneys for Receiver Hawk
ins. The mortgage includes all the real
and personal property in this city. together
with leaseholds and stock in Richmond,
Boston, New York and London. The COM
plant alleges that for the convenience of
the bank and the cabinet company and
reasons unknown to the. plaintiff the paper
of the cabinet company was executed in
different forms and delivered TO the bank.
By this paper, 1t is alleged, 1t appeared
that there was Indebtedness by other per-
sons than the cabinet company, but it was
in fact all the debt of the cabinet company.
1t AYERS that all but three of the two hun
dred and fifty bonds were delivered to the
bank and that it is claimed that these
three bonds not so delivered were sold to
some person whose name is unknown TO
the compliments They ask the court TO
determine upon hearing whether this al
legged sale was bona tde or not and to
whom the bonds were sold. They also ask
the court to determine whether they con-
stitute any part of the Indebtedness secured
by the mortgage.
The complainants also ask that the court
hold the proceeds of the sales of the prop
erty held by the branches subject to the
mortgage, as il was included in the mort
gage. 1t also asks that the proceeds of
operating the business of the cabinet COM
pany, after deducting the operating eX
penses and expenses of the receivership be
applied TO the debt to the bank. They also
aver that by the sentence of Haughey
vacancy exists in the truSteeship A num-
Der OF judgment creditors of the company
are joined and ii is asked that the proper
ty be sold as a going concern by the re-
ceiver, who shall account to the receiver.
