AmEs OPERA HOUSE CLOSED.
Violation Of City Ordinance Aroases
Wrath of Council.

special to Times Republican
Ames, Dec. 10.-The Ames opera
house has been ordered closed by the
city council Several months ago the
board of aldermen ordered that stage
entrance be built and the stairway now
in use be covered. The latter has been
complied with, but was built contrary
to city ordinance, which says that no
structure shall be erected of infiamna-
BILE material within certain limits. The
council now AYERS that the house shall
not again be opened until the require
ments are complied with in every par
ticular. Professor Budd, owner OF the
building, left few days ago for the
south, and who will be gone for the
winter, stated before his departure that
if the council saw fit to close the opera
house they might close it-he certainly
would not expend any money on im-
provements this winter.
John Kintzley, proprietor OF the o. x.
barber shop, will commence the erection
of building to be used as a bowling
alley this week.

leMars National Unable TO Recover
Wards Losses from His Brokers.
Sioux City Dec. 10.-The suit Of ]. NJ.
Thornton, receiver of the LeMars Ma
tional bank, wrecked by the defalcation
Of Vice President T. f. Ward last April
to recover $S0.00G from Arthur r. Jones
& Co., Of Chicago, with whom Ward
speculated, was not only unsuccessful,
but the commission firm was given
judgment for $500 on it's counter claim
for s., 500 alleged to have been deposited
in the bank.
The ,ssues- were Joined In the sabsnis-
sion OF the case to a jury in the federal
court at Chicago last week. The conten-
ton of George c. Scott, OF Sioux City.
attorney for the receiver, was based on
the recognized principle in federal jur-
isprudence that any person who re-
ceives money from officials OF a ma
tional bank are liable If 1t develops
that the money has been paid out Of the
banks funds.
Mr.. Wards transactions with A. r
Jones & Co. were made thru Dana P.
Long of LeMars, a broker, in whose Of
fice was private wire of the Chicago
firm. The defense claimed exemption
for the commission firm on the ground
that Mr.. Long was not an exclusive
agent of A. r. Jones g. Co.. and that
therefore the commission firm was not
chargeable with notcie that the money
had been paid them by an official OF the
bank, at their risk.
The commission firms lawyers were
astonished to find from Receiver Thorn
ton that whereas they had constantly
received certificates and statements
from Ward. showing a deposit of $500,
when the bank failed, the banks books
showed that at no time had the firm
been credited with more than $4,000 and
that at the time Of the failure they had
to its credit but $500.
The jury considered, apparently, that
the bank had failed to show that the
commission firm was responsible for
the acts of Broker Long, and, turning
down entirely the banks claim of $780,.
600, compromised on $4,000 for the COM
mission firm, on their counter-claim for
deposit of $500.
