What remains is merely matter OF
details. The cases now before the court
are part of these details. Shortly after
organizing the Columbia, Mr.. nwiggins
had obtained l.. Eyeringham, Board OF
Trade man, to take the presidency. Mr.
Everingham had a wide acquaintance
Three months before the break he had
withdrawn in the interests Of his other
business, and Dwiggins again became
president. After the Columbia went the
country banks could do no less than make
assignments. This they accordingly did
and the reproachfll voices of the country
depositors could be heard almost as far as
Chicago. The patrons of the city insti-
tuition held meetings of indignation and
appointed committees of investigation
w. C. Niblack became receiver of the as
sets of the bank. Inquiry showed the
condition of affairs to be almost hope
less. Among other things it became eyi-
dent that Mr.. Dwiggins and Mr.. Starbuck
were heavily indebted to the concern
The estimated amount began at 5000, ,OO0
1t grew until it reached nearly SEQ, 900
Dwiggins owed the greater part Among
his investments was the Mecca Hotel and
apartment house out on State street. The
travelling and visiting public did not flock
as tumultuously TO this resort as they
do toward the original Of the name
Meanwhile assertions came up from In
diana regions that besides an absence of
business sense Mr. DMiggins also lacked
strict moral perceptions. His methods
were described as illegal, and the state
ments verified on oath. In February of
1894 the sheriff of Benton county came
to Chicago with warrants for Mr.. DWig-
gins arrest. The financier was variously
charged with grand larceny, enbezzle-
ment and with receiving banking depos-
it's knowing the institution to be ins0lv W
ent. Hearing of the officers advent, Mr..
Dwiggins took the train to Fowler and
surrendered himself, thus avoiding the
arrest. He readily found bail The char
aes were found to be incapable Of sup
pert, and the proceedings dismissed.
& About the same time as the Fowler In
cident the committee working on behalf
of the depositors of the Chicago bank
submitted a report. In effect the COM
nittee said that no legal eyid ence OF

CHANGED THE STATUS
Alterations in the Affairs Of the Cath
olic Building and Loan Association.

Receiver Smith, of the Catholic Build,
ing and Loan association, has filed sup
Elemental statement of the assets and
liabilities. fixing the status OF borrowers.
This is all important point, and may
bring on another fight in the COURTS be-
| fore it is finally determined. Ever since
there was a disruption among the mem
| bers of the association, the status of the
| borrowers has been in question. The
| freeholders held that it ought to be fixed.
on the present value of real estate, while
| the borrowers contended that they ought
| to be given credit for payments under the
old value of assets.
The receiver suggests that the credits
! to borrowers be fixed according to the
"equated plan" which he submits, the
borrowers to be credited with an equated
stock value equal at maturity TO the
amount borrowed and debited with all
delinquent dues, interest fines, and S per
cent of said stock value. He suggests
that the balance due on each loan after
the credits are made bear interest at the
rate of z per cent and that the time of the
loan be limited to three years. Bor-
rowers are to be permitted to apply free
stock at 80 per cent Of the amount paid
on said stock as dues, less the fines, if
celed and the holder to receive no further,
benefits therefrom. 10 Borrowers are re-
quired to pay their taxes and furnish in
surance. Whenever the amount of cash
on hanr shall equal 10 per cent of the
total liabilities, a dividend shall be de-
clared and paid to each free stockholder,
except such of those who have already
withdrawn portion of their stock. Mem
bers are to be permitted to apply free
stock in payment of real estate at an
amount paid on said stock as dues, less
fines, ETC.
The condition Of the assets and liabil-
tiles, as prepared under this equated
plan of settlement, follows:
