FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
Two Nebraska Bank Wreckers Receive
Their Punishment.
BOTH MUST DO HARD LABOR
Judge Munger of the Federal Court
Passes Upon the Case-Suit on Railroad
Bonds-A Kidnaper in Court-Miscel-
laneous State News.

OMAHA, Neb., March 16.-C. A.
Reimers, president of the defunct
First National bank of Neigh, Neb.,
and his son, Edward o. Reimers, as
sistant cashier, were each sentenced to
five years in the Sioux Falls peniten
tiary by Judge Munger for wrecking
the institution of which they were
officers. In compliance with the re-
quest of their attorneys, the judge
suspended sentence for ten days to al
low time for the filing of an appeal
bond.
This case was tried in the federal
court in. December, 1899, and the de-
PENDANTS were found guilty. A motion
was made for a new trial, which the
judge took under advisement until
Saturday, when he overruled it and
pronounced sentence.
The Reimers and Charles r. Alder,
cashier, were indicted in October, 1898.
Alder was never placed on trial, he
being a fugitive from justice some
where in Mexico.
The charge against the officers of
the Neigh bank was classifying the
records, violating the banking laws
of the United States and making false
reports to the comptroller of the treas
ury. 1t is alleged that originally ALL
der purchased the bank from the Rel
mers and that in doing so he used the
assets and collateral in making his
payments and that they knew this.
Charges of forgery were also made
and it is understood that forged notes
ynpN I,-aDv,~f1l anl ,oIi~nN,ntNl uyith
other banks for the purpose of taking
up personal obligations.
When the receiver, H. J. Whitmoro,
took charge of the affairs Of the bank
he found a shortage of between $780,
900 and 100000 and liabilities of $110,-
900. Since then he has paid 40 per
cent in dividends and some $4,000 on
taxes and bills.

damages from John M. Clapp & Co. of
Philadelphia. This concern is the
holder of $40, 900 worth of Missouri
Pacific bonds upon which they have
just secured judgment against Otoe
county. Watson alleges in his petit
ton that the bonds were placed in his
hands for collection in 1875 by Clapp
& Co. and that his fee was to be 10
per cent of the amount recovered. He
further alleges that Clapp & Co.
gained possession of the bonds by IN
fair means.
