Barrett Scotia Crime.

S-O
Omaha Bee, 81: The crime for which
Barrett Scott paid with his life on New
Years day of this year was the en-
bezzlement Of $4,000 Of the funds Of
Holt county, and the subsequent wreck
Ing Of the Holt County bank, prac-
tically impoverishing nearly all Of the
farmers and business men in Holt. The
amounts stolen from these confiding
people are variously estimated. but ag
'gregate about 100000.
The looting Of the public funds had
probably been going on for some time
previous to the discovery by. the county
commissioners and the flight Of Scott,
who was then county treasurer, and
the absconding of President Adams, Of
the Holt County bank, in the early part
Of August, 1893. w.

commissioners took their places Of Of
SCOTS accounts with Holt county. He
had been reelected during the fall Of
1891, and 1t is alleged that he spent a
large sum of money to gain this politi-
cal victory. Such desperate efforts were
made to keep him in Office by a certain
ring OK p6r0OnG, anu 9uCn deep personal
interest was taken in his success that
many OF the people began to believe
that there was something behind 1t all.
and when the new commissioner took
their places an Investigation was de-
manded and begun. They demanded
that Scott produce all his accounts and
the money that belonged to the county.
Tho commissioners would not accept
checks or certificates Of deposit, but
demanded that the cash be produced.
Scott did not have h money on hand,
there being but $7.348 In the vault when
the commissioners made their first visit.
They then gave Scott ten days in which
to make the showing, and the money
was secured from Omaha for the pur-
pose. The matter was arranged by J.
n. Thomas, president Of the State bank
Of O'Neill. who visited Omaha and ar
ranged with J. n. Willard for the use
Of $4,000 for n day. The money was

Damage Done by one Shell.

What a single shell can do - one
modern projectile flying true to its
mark-was manifested ut the battle
between the Chinese and japanese
fleets off the Yalu river in September.
One Canet shell weighing nearly 1000
pounds, of the Hotter make, struck
the Chinese battle ship Ping Yuen,
crushing through the after part of the
armored deck, tearing vast hole,
through which the water poured In
such volumes that the vessel went
down, carrying most of her officers
and crew with her. The cost OF such
shell is somewhere between 5000
and $1,000, but the cost Of a battle
ship is 100000 up. Such evidence
of the power of single shot go far
TO support Admiral Farrguts belief
that in the race between projectile
and plate the former was bound to
win. and the result would be that
armor would come off ships as 1t came
off men. and for the same reason,

came burden.-London Engineering,
