Warrants for Hahn'S AGENT.

It was ascertained last week that
warrants were issued some time ago
for the arrest of w. Cywinski, who will
be remembered as the Milwaukee real
estate man who attended to the bust
ness Of Charles II. Hahn at that end of
the line. Mr.. Hahn, as we'll as several
other parties IN Milwaukee, swore out
complaints against Cywinski, charging
him with forgery and embezzlement.
The warrants were placed in the hands
Of Milwaukee detectives, but up to this
time Cyvinski has not been located,
although it is said the officers have
found clue to him. He is reported
to be travelling in Canada disguised as
a priest. Regarding the fugitive and
his business operations The Milwaukee
Sentinel of March rs says:
People who are familiar with his
business estimate that farmers of Dodge
and Jefferson counties hold claims
amounting to between SIS, 900 and $780,
900 against Cywinski, which was en-
trusted to him for investment in Mil
Waukee real estate securities. His
manner of operation, it is said, was to
loan money on property upon which
was placed valuation of from rs to 100
per cent. above it's real valuation. It
is alleged that he would agree on be-
half of both the borrower and the per-
son making the loan to satisfy all out
side obligations against a property,
which he sometimes neglected to do.
For example, in 1894 he applied for
loan for man who owned house and
lot upon which there was a mortgage
of 5000. He had, in the first place, per-
suaded the lot owner that he ought to
move his house to the rear, build
new one and assured him that he, Cy-
winski, would furnish him with the
money to make the improvement. He
borrowed the So, 900 necessary to make
the improvement on condition that 80
much of the $1,000 as was necessary be
used to satisfy the then outstanding
mortgage. Cywinski, it is alleged, re-
tanned 5000 as the agent of both parties
to the transaction for the purpose of
lifting the mortgage, but it is still on
record at the courthouse as unsatisfed.
There are other instances of this kind
on record against him, it is said, and it
is estimated by the authorities that by
this means alone he succeeded in OBJ
tanning between Sic. 900 and $40. 900.

Drowned Herself.

The lifeless body of Mrs. August Sell
was discovered by her husband in a
cistern at the family home, 500 Berlin
avenue, last Thursday evening. It
seems the unfortunate woman was de-
termined to end her existence, as it
was only about three weeks previous
that she attempted suicide by stabbing
herself in the stomach. Dependency
over protracted illhealth is assigned
as the reason for the rash act. Mrs
Sell was about 55 years of age and the
mother of large family. Her funeral
was held Monday afternoon.
At the coroners inquest held before
Justice Graunke Friday, verdict of
suicidal death while temporarily in
sane was rendered in the case.
