sheriff D. A. Eoff, met here Wednes-
day to receive pro rata amounts on
the judgment against the Boone

about $500 of State revenues col.
leeted by him; that the bank refused
to surrender the same to him, claim
ing the right to retain and apply the
same ON its alleged claim against
him; that his sureties made good the
shortage to the State. and thirteen

Young, Mike Young, W. II. Young.
j. H. Richesin and j. D. Wilson,
brought suit against the bank to re-
cover said money. All the other
bondsmen who had paid anything
on the shortage were made defend
ants, bat none of them answered or
claimed anything except X. F. King.
The state interviewed claiming about
$500 of the money for penalty all
legged to be due it on account OF said
shortage The circuit court gave
judgment in favor of the State for
the penalty it claimed and in favor
OF the plaintiffs and r. F, King for
the balance of said money. With d.
provision that they should have the
whole amount if the penalty claimed

Indian, worth in his own right $4,000
and heir to much more, and Mary Red

Usage chief. Old Red Eagle and Tall
E,lk's father have for years been bitter

Gernlany,s Attitud e.


Washington, Aug. 3o.--Most Of the
objects had in view by the presiden;
when he made answer TO the Chinese
governments appeal and began the
upon Pekin have been
achieved. Two others remain To be SEE
cured. namely, the safeguarding of
American interests for the future. and
some proper guarantee for indemnitica- 3
tion fer the expenses of recent opera
tions and losses OF American citizens,
Some plan by which the objects can be
attained by the United States, in COM
mon with similar objects by the other
powers engaged in China, is thought
feasible
The attitude OF Germany was the.
subject of much official discussion DUR
ing the day, and considera BILE new light
was thrown upon it. Early in the day
the German charge d'affaires, Baron
Speck Won Sternberg. had long con-
ference with Acting Secretary Adee. 1t
IS understood that any question which
may have arisen as 10 the future course
of Germany is met by reference TO an
official note by Count Won Buelow. the
German minister of foreign affairs, is
sued on July u. which fully defined
Germany's purposes in China. This
note of the German chancellor followed
within ten days of Secretary Hays note
TO the powers on July 3, and is some
what analogous in setting forth Ger
many's intentions. Count Won Buelow's
inctes said:
Our aim is the restoration of secur-
ity for persons and property, freedom
of action for German subjects in China.
the rescue of foreigners beleaguered in
Pekin, the re-establishment Of security
and regular conditions under prop
erly organized Chinese government, and
Preparation and satisfaction for the out
RACES committed We desire no parti-
ton of China and seek no special adj
vantages. The imperial government is
|imbued with the conviction that the
maintenance of tht agreement between
the powers is a primary condition for
the restoration of peace and order in
China"
There is reason for believing that
Germany holds today that the forego-
ing declaration is as effective as when
1t was first enunciated and that any
tpresent consideration of Germany S
purposes must be viewed in the light
Of the foregoing specific declaration Of
policy. For that reason the declara-
ton, We desire no partition OF China
and seek no special advantages" is said
to clear away the suspicious that Ger
many has far-reaching purpose Of
territorial acquisition in China.
Count Won Buelow's note further
pointed out the scope. Of Germany's s
military measures in China, stating
that they will enable US to partici-
pate In the military action in manner
corresponding with Germany's politic
Iimportance. BY the recent events In
