asked regarding the affair and all denied
having had anything to do with it.
The trouble between the Balm boys and
their father originated four years ago when
tho old man married a third time against
their wishes. He was then a wealthy farmer.
The boys were bent on getting all his prop

They contrived to have their father sent to

Leader of Brooklyn Democracy to
Quit Politics.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Hugh Mclaughlin,
for many years the dictator of the demo-
cratic party in Brooklyn, has definitely an
nounced his retirement from political leader
ship. He will be succeeded, according to the
present understanding, by Bernard ]. York.
The retirement of Mr.. Mclaughlin is the
close of long, successful and picturesque
political career Many years ago, when a
young man, Mclaughlin was employed in q
rope walk. One Of his fellow-workers was
Jacob Worth, who became, and was until
turned down. last autumn at the behest
of Senator Platt, the leader of the re-
publican party in Brooklyn, as Mclaughlin
was of the democratic party. Mr. McLaugh-
lin has twice held the office of register, but
aside from that has not been candidate.
When, in 1898, the democrats in Brook
lyn lost the mayoralty by over 10000 votes,
Mr.. Mclaughlin declared that he wanted to
remain in politics just long enough to see
the party back in power again. He has now
followed out the plan outlined at that time.

Entitled to Judgment

Judge MCGEE yesterday rendered his de-
cision in the case of David Hill against the
Council Bluffs Savings bank, which was tried
several days ago and submitted. The suit
was to compel the bank to pay a certificate
OF deposit for $500 issued to Hill and lost
by him. There were circumstances con-
nected with the loss of the certificate that
impelled the bank to enforce the rule not
to pay the certificate unless the depositor
put up the necessary bond. The testimony
showed that on the night Hill lost the GER
tiacate he was drinking in several saloons
and there was a possibility that he might, in
a moment OF unconscious thoughtlessness
have endorsed the certificate and 1t passed
out of his hands, and that 1t might reap
pear In possession OF a second rarty prop
erly endorsed and in condition demanding
payment. Hill refused to furniss, the re-
quired bond and brought suit. The court
held that the depositor was entitled to a
Judgment for the amount involved upon the
condition that he complied with the banks
requirement OF the ndemnifying bond

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec 30.-(Special Tel
egram.)-There have been rumors for the last
few days that H. G. Sturgis of the defunct
Citizens bank had left town and these sus-
picions were proved correct today when
Lewis James, one of the depostors, swore
out a warrant for the arrest Of Sturgis on
the charge of embezzlement of school funds.
When the officers attempted to serve the
warrant they found that Sturgis has disap-
peared, instead of being confined to his bed
from the effects of his recent attempt at
suicide, as reported. His wife says he left
Wednesday, but the impression prevails that
he left Sunday night. 1t is openly asserted
that his wound was net so bad as claimed
and the failure OF the bank was due to
something worse than mismanagement.

uniformity committee reported today that
fftytwo operators controlling eighty-two
mines. having a production OF S,452,113 tons
