BOGGS RETURNS.
THE DOVER BANK DEFALCATION
CASE AGAIN OPENED.
The Latest Proceedings in the Celebrated
Case Are Full of Sensation and In
clude the Arrest of Four Prom
inent Citizens
inent Citizens.

luSut IltILSnS.
After keeping in hiding nearly nine
months, and being tracked by detectives,
William n. Boggs, the defaulting teller of
the First National Bank, Of Dover, Sltur-
day morning walked into the Federal
building, Wilmington, and surrendered
himself to United States Marshal John c..
Short. About the same time, by a precon-
certed movement arranged by Harry A.
Richardson, President of the bank, and
| Francis Skunk Brown, Of Philadelphia,
attorney for the bank, four prominent
citizens OF Delaware were arrested and
brought into the court on the charge Of
having aided Boggs in footing the hank of
$l07, 900.
The four men Implicated with Boggs are
Colonel +. T. Cooper, ex-Register of Willis
Of Kent county, eX-Judge Advocate Gen
eral of the State, and at present editor of
the Milford Herald; Amos Cole, eX-Sheriff
O. Kent county, Del, and now President
of Commercial Fire Insurance Company
Thomas S. Clark, real estate broker of
Dover, and Charles ii. Butler, a clerk fol
Clark The men were held under bail fol
a further hearing next saturday, but Boggs
waived bail aud was taken to New Castle
jail. IN the evening Boggs was joined by
his wife, and Mrs. Boggs has secured
quarters in New Castle so that she Can
! visit her husband each day.
The return of Boggs and the arrest Of
, the four other men have caused a great
sensation throughout the Peninsula, and il
is reported that other arrests may follow,
although the United States officials will
say that warrants are out for those who
/ have been mentioned from time to time a:
having been connected with Boggs in his
operations. The return OF Boggs was
accomplished entirely through President
Richardson and Lawyer Brown, who have
been working on the case since Boggs dis
appeared. They, with the influence of The
| defautng teller's family, induced Boggs
to return and make clean breast of all bis
/ stealings.
! Those who secured the return of Boggs
will not state how they got him to come
back or where he has been during the past
nine months. On the night Boggs left
Dover he went to Wilmington and re.
NAMED at the home OF relative, where
the next day he met his wife and bid her
farewell. He had ticket for New Orleans
which, it is said, was purchased by one of
the men now in custody. Boggs went
South and was taken i'll. lie recovered,
and it is said that he has since been in the
South and Southwest with relatives.
Boggs, on his return, has swarthy and
ruddy complexion, which bears evidence
thar he has been III warmer climate and
| has been exposed to the weather. He
weighs ten to fifteen pounds more than
when he disappeared and the only change
in his appearance is that ne has had his
moustaehe shaved.
A hearing in the case will be held today.

teen pages. The report in brief states. touching the shortages, monies re- ceived and kept by Hughes in different ways, is as follows:
 Incidental fund up to 1897, $432.25; received for sale of territorial prop erty not accounted for for the years from 1893 to January, 1898, $1,475; road fund, $1 ,921.25; incidental fund, $495.62; amount retained from out siders on warrants shaved or other wise over, $500.
 It is stated that this last item may reach more, as there may be other transactions not shown on the books. In the matter of the sale of property for territorial tax, the expert states in substance that it is impossible to estimate how much more than the amount stated the clerk got away with, as he cannot yet ascertain how many deeds have been issued for the prop erty sold.
 Referring to the falsifying of the records, it is stated that most of this work was due prior to January, 1897.
 Report states books have been checked up to the end of the year of 1897.
 The report seems to be unnecessar- fly voluminous. An effort is made to throw discredit on some county off, cials who were not supposed to be under examination, but if the state ments be true it would be we'll to have them looked into by a lawyer and not a bookkeeper. All the facts ascertained by the expert touching the matter which he was appointed to examine into could have been stated in less than one thousand words and been much less confused as to facts than is the jumbled up mass of a very few facts and opinions of matters he was not appointed to look into-Tucson Star.

AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK IN.
A Texan at the Gates With Stock
 From an Infected District.

Some funny things happen in the exercise of the most serious func- tions. About January i man named E. l.. Kerr, of Clay county, Texas started for southern Arizona with six cows and four head of horses. The cows coming from an infected district unaccompanied by bill of health, were held up at Ell Paso. Kerr began tele- graphing to Dr. J. c. Norton, the ter ritorial veterinarian, about it, and ask ing special permission to come in. He affirmed that his cows were all right. The doctor replied that they might be, but the law must be com piled with. Kerr then had recourse to his Clay county friends and a day or two ago the doctor received a statement signed by various officials of Clay county. There were sheriff, treasurer, several clerks and priva te persons who testified that there was no splenetic fever in Clay county and that if there were it would do no harm, for the cattle never died of it. That was not convincing, for the doctor knew that native Texas cattle do not die of it; they are inoculated against 1t, but they spread death and destruc- tion among unvaccinated cattle.
 Yesterday the doctor received an af- fidavit from another private Texan, who testifies that he IS personally ac- quainted with both Mr Kerr and his COWS and will cheerfully swear that the beauty of character and the integ- rity of MT. Kerr are only equaled by the good general health of his COWS.
 The doctor has forwarded his ulti- matum to MT. Kerr. It is that he may bring his horses in, but that the cows must stay out.

Another Reply to Farmer.

Editor County Record:
Isee in your last issue a piece
signed Farmer in regard to the
traffic in seed cotton, and as you
have opened your columns to a
discussion of the matter, I ask
for a little space in which to maze
known my views on the subject.
Mr.. Farmer writes as If he wishes
to put stop finally to the sale Of
seed cotton by putting high Ii!
cense on the traffic. 7 differ a little
from him in that respect. While
i am willing to protect the farmer
and the lien man, for / am both
farmer and doing Il lien business
my self. l also traffic in seed cotton.
There are a great many small
farmers. especially among the ne
groes, who do not make as much as
a bale OF cotton. Now Mr. FARMER
says in a case like that each could
get some one to join him and. gin
their cotton. In some instances
this may work very well, but in
Others it would not, as the man
who held the Iienover such cotton
would perfer taking it IN the seed
than to have it ginned with some
one over whom he had no lien. |

sonable one, say s25:OO or $4,000.
This would shut up all of the $500

Wants the Lien Law Repealed.

Editor County Record:
| think that it would not be
right to enact a "Seed Cotton LII
cense Law for the reason that if
prohibitive. it would be oppress
i've TO the hundreds of farmers
that do not make SO much as
bale of cotton each. Ii not pro-
hibitive, it would give the large
lien merchants monopoly Of the
seed cotton traffic; and the poor
farmers would have to pay for the
license.
If our making delegation
wish to legislate for the benefit
and protection of the greatest
number and most helpless OF our
