A RACINE SENSATION.
Former Prominent Resident Of that
City is Charged with
Embezzlement.

Racine, Wis, Oct. 3.-[Special.l-A
sensation was caused here this morning
when the announcement was made that
a complaint was made to a justice for
the issuance of a warrant for the ar
rest of Edward G. Durant, formerly one
of the most prominent and influential
citizens of this city, now of Los Angeles,
Cal. The complainant is Frederick j..
Hendrichsen, receiver for the Hen
drichsen Manufacturing company. The
charge is the embezzlement of $4,000, al
legged to have been taken in February,
1891, when Durant was treasurer of the
company.
The factory was burned to the ground
some years ago and later Mr.. Hendrich-
sen was appointed receiver of the con-
Germ. He made an effort to secure a
settlement with Durant. but in this he
was unsuccessful and he then sued him
for an accounting. The matter came up in
court and judgment was rendered against
the defendant. The court ordered Du-
rant to pay over $4465 with costs to the
receiver. All efforts to secure the
money or any kind of settlement
failed and the issuance of the warrant
today is the result.
Mr.. Durant was well known in tenn
perance and church circles and a few
years ago was candidate for governor
on the Prohibition ticket. He came from
Kenosha, where he was formerly en-
gagged in business at that place.

OPPOSE A TAX LEVY.
People of Sheboygan Do Not Favor
City improvements at
Present.

Sheboygan, Wis, Oct. S.-[Special.] i
The common council bids fair to have
another fight on it's hands in reference
to the tax levy for 1897 Mayor Brown
is particularly anxious that his admin
istration should have some sort of a
monument 70 mark it in time hereafter
and has decided upon a central fire sta
ton to cost at least $4,000. He has en-
listed Aid Wedell in his aid, and until
the assistance of one or two more OF the
city fathers will endeavor to increase the
tax levy i'll order to get an amount suf-
ficient TO do the work Besides this
there will be an effort to increase the
levy for school purposes one mill, IN or
DIES to provide sinking fund for the
erection Of a Fifth ward school building
next year. These two items together
viii make the total levy pretty large
considering the times, and naturally
there is much opposition. The majority
OF the taxpayers believe that the cree
ton Of central fire station should be
postponed until the city commences the
erection of its contemplated city hall,
and then provide quarters for the fire
department along with the other mu-
nicipal departments in the new building.
The scheme is to bond the city for S4O,
600 to $4,000 for this purpose. This
course would prevent the erection of the
building while Mr. Brown is mayor.
Aid. Wedell at a recent meeting of the
common council introduced an amend
ment to the city comptroller's net esti-
mate for the levy increasing it to pro-
vide the necessary $4,000 mentioned
above. The matter was referred to the
finance committee, which reported
against it. This is about the way the
people feel. but Mayor Brown has Sc
cured enough votes to make the matter
close and the contest bids fair to be
very close
