1t is believed Taylor is In hiding in

when he left here fully a quarter
million in cash. and he could have
drawn In New York 500. 900 more. 1t
Is believed hat lie has ccnfederates in
the city who are keeping him advised
OF proceedings. A strong attempt is
being made here TO throw doubt
on the validity of the bonds
aud it is suspected that the plan is to
force tic state into a compromise with
the bondsinen for n moderate sum and
then when settlement is completed and
Taylor promised immunity lie will
make good the losses of the bondsmen.
All sorts of rumors have been set
afloat by Taylor's friends to ,,revcnt
rigid prosecution. 1t is said that tho
shortage vas due to liberali.v with
which he supported various banks dur.

has failed to realize. -
The state officers are making siren
Nous efforts to raise sufficient cash To
keep the various state institutions run

is expected to produce enough to lido
over the difficulty for some time, but

South Dakota must default on the

LETTER FROM TAYLOR.
lie Encloses Certified Deposit Checks for
$500.

Cs,OOU.
PIERRE, s. d., Jan. 10. - Deputy
Treasurer burlington today received n
letter from Taylor dated New York.
January 6, and enclosing certified de-
posit checks for ST, 500 on various
banks. The auditor has made an
emergency call on all county treasurers
for ali lGaGs il their hands due the
state.
The Taylor defalcation has alb
sorbed all interest here. 1t
is learned that the only state
money to be found is $4,000 in Tay-
lor's bank Mt Redfield and SIG, 900 in II
bank Mt Pierre. Everything else.
amounting to S370, 900, has gone. Word
has been received from the Chase Ma
tional bank at New York that the
$4,000 of funding warrants held there
are not paid and an answer is now
anxiously awaited from Albany, N. Y,
where Sl20,0oo is held. State
banks annot be much affected
if the people keep their heads,
as only two other banks will be
involved in the bonds. Morris s. Labrie
of the Doland bank are caught, the
former for $40. 900 and the latter for
$4,000. L. w. Brooks and Frank
Beard, bankers of Aberdeen, are also
caught for So, 1000 each. Personal
friends of Taylor in Sphinx county nre
numerously victimized. In addition to
those already mentioned are j. o. Pow
ers, w. c. Kiser, jr. and ST.. j. A. Kiser,
w. ID. Beebe, Il. $. Myers, C. ii. Vinton
md the estate of r. NJ. Howard, John
McChesney and Ex-Governor Mellette
each justified for $4,000 and William
Taylor, fnther of the treasurer, for
$50, 00o. The total amount of iustitica-
ton is S345,0 900, several thousand short
of the defalcation.
1t looks like Il clean sweep of
the state funds, while the bank 1T Red
field will not be so largely affected.
Mr.. Palmer Of Salem says he met
Ia: lor in Chicago on the 18th of De-
cember, closeted in n room, with locked
door, at a hotel in company with q
brother in law, S. c. Leppieman, and q
lawyer from indisEl.
Seven hundred and ninety-five thou
sand dollars of funding warrants were
in New York for payment. They have
not been returned, although Auditor
Nipple has been expecting them for
some time, and it is thought the banks
of deposit have been RENTING to New
York for tho payment of these war
rants. In addition to the amount nee
essary to pay these warrants the audit
or's report called for S51, 200 of cash in
current funds. There is also a large
amount of school funds that were soon
to be apportioncd, making n possible
total shortage approHimating $3.50, 900.
New YORK. Jan. 1O.-Inquiries so far
made have failed to locate w. W. Tay-
Tor.
James M. Brown, a banker and
broker who resides in Brooklyn, and
who is Il particular friend of the miss
ing ex-state treasurer, said when seen
that he had seen nothing of Taylor for
some weeks past. He felt certain that
Taylor was not in the vicinity.
