They are probably deep sea dwell

are not cast ashore, except on rare and
abnormal occasions. For instance, If

fish were found floating dead on the
surface Of the ocean. II was supposed
that submarine explosion had killed

an hour was consumed by the court
with his opinion. During all this time
the prisoner sat In the dock, and his
eyes never left the judges face. He
was drinking in every word. Not a
syllable escaped him. There was a
death-like stiffness in the room,
broken only by the buzzing of big
blue-bottle fly on the window pane.
Although realizing that his life was
hanging by a thread, Cutaiar showed
no emotion. 1t was evident from the
start that the judge was not fayorably
disposed toward the granting OF a new
trial. Cutaiar, too, must have known
how 1t was going to end. But he sat

of the treasury department for three
years. The chief operator. who is
known as ]. r. Bell, alias James F.
Swartz. is in Jail at Springfield. Along
with him are M. A. Maginnis and
Thomas Robbins, heretofore respected
citizens OF Neosho, who are said to have
become his dupes Bell claimed to be
a secret agent of President Cleve-
lands administration, and carried an
alleged commission bearing the forged
signature OF w. @. Gresham, secretary
OF state. dated August 10, 1894.
The pretended mission Of the alleged
swindler was TO distribute campaign
funds for the national administration,
and he claimed TO be able to give out
to favored ones greenbacks that had
been presented to the government for
redemption and cancelled. He claimed
that instead OF destroying these bills
the administration stored them in the
treasury vaults, to be distributed by
him for campaign purposes. From each
of his dupes the swindler exacted an
initiation fee Of $3.50. and represented
to them that the number of citizens adj

regulated that each member would be
given $4,000 annually to distribute.

WILL APPEAL TOU.S. COURT
Santa Fc Omcials to Resist the Re-
ceiver Appointed by the State
District Court.

Topeka, Nov. 7.-Charles r. johnson.
who was appointed receiver of the Santa
Fe property in Kansas by Judge Myers.
OF the state district court on Thursday
last at Oskaloosa, will qualify as receiver
on Monday next. and Ii is supposed he
Will then serve notice on the Santa Fe
officials here and demand possession of
the property.
The officials Of the railroad will refuse
to recognize him as receiver and the at
torneys of the corporation will go at once
TO Oskaloosa and file a motion with
Judge Myers TO vacate the order This
course was decided upon at conference
of Santa Fc officials held today. Should
Judge Myers refuse to vacate his order
as he probably will do. Judge Foster, of
the United States circuit court will be
appealed TO for a writ prohibiting the
state court from interfering with the
property OF the company. II Is main
tained by the Santa Fe people that the
United States court under the former re-
ceivership proceedings. still has sufficient
hold upon the Santa Fe to warrant its
interference in the present proceedings I'm
the state court. Some OF the debts con-
fracted under the recent Federal recefv-
ership are still In the Federal courts for
adjudication. and for this reason II will
be claimed that the property has not ab-
solutely passed from the control OF the
United States circuit court.
