Squire Morrell yesterday afternUOn.and
after as full and complete an investiga-

He established clearly that he was at

LOST FOUR HUNDRED


Dollars Did a Young New Yorker in
asldstrohm's Water Street Place.
A chancery Suit Entsred-Licenss
to be Revoked.
Anselm Z. Hance Is young New
Yorker, barely Of age. who sells tele-
phone supplies. Doubtless he is famll-
lar with say Manhattan from the Bat
terry to Harlem; of course he knows
Boss Croker and possibly he has heard
Of Parkhnrst. Yet he came all the way
from New York to Wheeling to submit
himself to the gentle persuasIons of the
genus crook. We gods, has 1t come to
pass that suave New Yorker is In
Wheeling only d tenderfoot?
Hance came to the city and registered
at the Windsor. Thursday night he en-
tered the place on Water street con-
Quoted by Fred GoldstrOhm, and was
enticed into one of the games Of chance
that can be produced there on the least
provocation. At the opening seance the
young man won IS or $40, and probably
was under the impression that Wheel
ing was too slow for him. Becoming
emboldened by his success, he entered
deeper into the game, and in a short
time his money was passing away In a
fast flowing stream. Early In the morn
ing he left the place sadder and a
wiser man, having lost 800 and a gold
watch. officer Ingram found the young
man and soon learned what had hap
pened. Returning to the Goldstrohm
place with the officer, he pointed out as
one OF his fleecers Frank Perkins, who
was taken TO police headquarters.
At police court yesterday morning.
both Hance and Perkins were before
the tribunal, but no action was taken,
as an effort was being made to have
Goldstrohm return the money the
young man had lost. Attorney John A.
Howard was engaged, and demanded
the return Of the money for his client.
Negotiations were on during the after
noon, but were finally without result,
whereupon Mr.. Howard entered chan
Gerry suit in the circuit clerks Office for
the recovery of the 1900. The suit is
entitled Anselm B. Hance VS.. Fred
Goldstrohm, Ann Eliza Goldstrohm,
Frank Perkins and young
man named schwertzlanger the
last two named being the men
who are alleged to have swlndled young
Hance out Of his money. This is the
first attempt made along this line to
recover money lost at gambling. and in
the legal fraternity 1t is thought two or
three suits Of this character will stop
such proceedings as that Of Thursday
night.
Warrants for the arrest of Perkins
and schwertzlander were sworn out In
Justice Rogers court, but they had not
been arrested last night.
This latest Goldstrohm case induced
council to pass resolution last night
for theravoklng of Goldstrohm's license,
but President Maxwell, of the second
branch, ruled that before being en-
forced the resolution should be submit
ted to the city solicitor. 1t is said that
If the resolution is not legal, council
will refuse to grant license to Gold
strohm again next month.

BEVERIDGE ATTACKED.


st. Paul. Mimi, Jan. 1j,--The North
western Chronicle, the official organ
of Archbishop Ireland, says edito-
rally this week:
senator leveridge, soon after his
ELECTION to the United States senate,
made flying visit to the Philippine
islands to prime himself for n great
GRAFTON IN the upper house at Wash
ington. The young man guarded the
information which he dug up at Ma.
Mia, lest premature leakage might
mar the artistic effect Of the dis
course, all OF whicl, clearly reveals
the youthful Mr.. lIeveridge as a po-
litical mountebank of the first water.
His melodramatic performance ex-
hibits conceit and bigotry, One is ut
"a loss whether to admire more his
stnpend0ns assurance or his inexcus-
able ignorance. When the junior SEN
ator from Indiana speaks of the reli-
gion of the Filipinos as superstition,
he forgets that il is the religion which
rescued his own ancestors from the
condition in which the Fiipinos
were three centuries ago"

5000 FOR HONEYWELL s DEATI
Union Pacific Has Paid the Money
Blair's Condition.

A Union Pacific employee tells the
Junction City Union that the road
has paid $4,000 damages to the rela-
tives Of D. A. Honeywell, who was
killed in the freight train wreck east
Of town last fall. The paper says:
"Some talk has been making the
rounds Of the Abilene papers as to a
settlement between Blair and the U.
P. This seems to have been talk
only. The company has replaced
Blair's clothing, but up to date no
offers have been made by either the
company or Blair. From what we
learn it is to be presumed that Blair
is not yet ready to negotiate for
settlement" Nevertheless claim
agent has made frequent visits to
Blair and tried to get settlement
but they could not agree. Blair is
able to be up and dressed but has
not yet been out Of his room. 1t is
expected that he will be out Of the
sanitarium in couple Of weeks. He
may have trouble with his crushed
ankle when he attempts to use his

G. A. ROGERS PRESIDENT.
Abilene National Bank Has a New

The Abilene National bank had its
election Of officers last evening and
the following were chosen:

Directors: J.. B. Case, &. c. Sterl,
John Taylor, j. 4. Brewer, H. B.

The business of the bank has so in
creased that it has become necessary
for the president to give all his time
to it and Mr.. Sterl's many other inter-
ests made it necessary for him
to give up the presidency. Mr..
Rogers is admirably fitted for
the important position. He has
had IS years experience as a banker
and is thoroughly acquainted with
Dickinson county people and condi-
tions. With Mr.. White he will have
the banks immediate management
and under such excellent citizenship
the institution has tlattering pros
