Milwaukee, Dec. 15.-The fact leaked
out Tuesday that the indictment which

in secret by Judge Wallber, Of the mu-
nicipal court, in November last. Pres
ident Trumpff was charged with per-
jury. A succession of sensations fol-
lowed the failure of the bank. Very
shortly after the bank closed it was
discovered that the cashier, John 3.
Koetting, was gone. Then inquiries
were made for Trumpff, and he, too,
had disappeared. The ledger Of the
bank was also missing. Koetting was
arrested in Denver, COL, brought back,
and after being released took second
fight, this time to Mexico, from where
he was again returned. Triumph To-
Gated in Germany, where he lived nearly
four years, when he returned to Mil
waukee and gave himself into custody
and was released on bail. There have

the session was devoted to the consid-
Grafton OF the legislative, executive and

cided to postpone the consideration of
the item providing for the maintenance

after the other features of the bill had
been concluded. 1t was apparent from
the remarks made that the entire sub

as seemingly no disposition to curtail

the entire time Tuesday, despite the
fact that the consideration Of the ques-
tion had been technically postponed,
was consumed in debate upon it.
