FORCED TO BORROW
STRANGE CASE OF HARD LUCK
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
A Mine Promoter Loses by His Ventures
and His Wife Pawns Her Jewelry-
Now she's sick.

Buffalo. Jan. 24.-A special to the EN-
press from Chicago says: Eleanor a.
Allan Is lying Ill at her home. No. 1923
Prairie avenue. and Is in terror lest a
constable break in the door and strip
the house of all Its handsome furnish
ings. In order to prevent such deed,
her husband, James NJ. Allen. has filed
a bill in the circuit court asking for an
injunction against George j. Williams
of No. l64 Dearborn street, a money
loaner. Allan and his wife want WILL
Jams restrained from selling $4,000
worth Of pledges to recover loans, on
which they say not more than s5.e00 is
due. OF course. Williams. figuring in
terest at about 20 per cent. a month,
claims that much more than this Is due
him.
Allan is a mine owner and promoter,
but in February. 1895. luck was against
him, and he got $3.50 from Williams.
To secure the loan. Eleanor Allan hy-
pothecated her diamond brooch. con-
tanning Sc diamonds. surrounding one
sapphire, and valued at $1,000. and AL
Ian gave his note for sS.62i Up To Sep
tember, 1896 they had paid s3.003 upon
this loan. Later there was a loan of
81, 600. and to secure this. goods valued
at $500 were hypothecated. Later
there was a $3.50 loan and Turkish rugs
worth 81 900 went up for this. In July
81 200 worth of goods went To secure a
loan Of $500. In September. 1895. they
got $500 from Williams. and upon this
occasion the furniture at the elegant
home went up for collateral by the way
of a chattel mortgage. 1t II inferred
that the defendant banked upon the 500
cial standing of his victims, and felt
that they would settle for any sun
